Six-dimensional product Lie algebras admitting integrable complex structures

We classify the 6-dimensional Lie algebras of the form $\mathfrak{g}\times \mathfrak{g}$ that admit an integrable complex structure. We also endow a Lie algebra of the kind $\mathfrak{o}(n)\times \mathfrak{o}(n)$ ($n\ge 2$) with such a complex structure. The motivation comes from geometric structures à la Sasaki on $\mathfrak{g}$-manifolds.     

Current superalgebras and unitary representations

In this paper we determine the projective unitary representations of finite dimensional Lie supergroups whose underlying Lie superalgebra is $\mathfrak{g}=A?\mathfrak{k}$, where $\mathfrak{k}$ is a compact simple Lie superalgebra and A is a supercommutative associative (super)algebra; the crucial case is when $A={\mathrm{\Lambda }}_s(\mathbb{R})$ is a Graßmann algebra. Since we are interested in projective representations, the first step consists in determining the cocycles defining the corresponding central extensions. Our second main result asserts that, if $\mathfrak{k}$ is a simple compact Lie superalgebra with ${\mathfrak{k}}_1\ne \{0\}$, then each (projective) unitary representation of ${\mathrm{\Lambda }}_s(\mathbb{R})?\mathfrak{k}$ factors through a (projective) unitary representation of $\mathfrak{k}$ itself, and these are known by Jakobsen's classification. If ${\mathfrak{k}}_1=\{0\}$, then we likewise reduce the classification problem to semidirect products of compact Lie groups K with a Clifford–Lie supergroup which has been studied by Carmeli, Cassinelli, Toigo and Varadarajan.     

Galois extensions,plus closure,and maps on local cohomology

Given a local domain $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ of prime characteristic that is a homomorphic image of a Gorenstein ring, Huneke and Lyubeznik proved that there exists a module-finite extension domain S such that the induced map on local cohomology modules $H_{\mathfrak{m}}^i(R)\to H_{\mathfrak{m}}^i(S)$ is zero for each $i<\dim R$. We prove that the extension S may be chosen to be generically Galois, and analyze the Galois groups that arise.     

The cyclic and simplicial cohomology of the Cuntz semigroup algebra

The main objective of this paper is to determine the simplicial and cyclic cohomology groups of the Cuntz semigroup algebra ${?}^1({\mathbf{S}}_m)$. We also determine the simplicial and cyclic cohomology of the tensor algebra of a Banach space, a class which includes the algebra on the free semigroup on m-generators ${?}^1({\mathbf{FS}}_m)$. In order to do so, we first establish some general results which can be used when studying simplicial and cyclic cohomology of Banach algebras in general. We then turn our attention to ${?}^1({\mathbf{S}}_m)$, showing that the cyclic cohomology groups of degree n vanish when n is odd and are one-dimensional when n is even ($n?2$). Using the Connes–Tzygan exact sequence, these results are used to show that the simplicial cohomology groups of degree n vanish for $n?1$. A similar strategy is used for the tensor algebra of a Banach space.     

A counterexample to the local–global principle of linear dependence for Abelian varieties

Let A be an Abelian variety defined over a number field k. Let P be a point in $A(k)$ and let X be a subgroup of $A(k)$. Gajda and Kowalski asked in 2002 whether it is true that the point P belongs to X if and only if the point $(P\mathrm{mod}\mathfrak{p})$ belongs to $(X\mathrm{mod}\mathfrak{p})$ for all but finitely many primes $\mathfrak{p}$ of k. We provide a counterexample.     

Breaking points in centralizer lattices

In this note, we prove that the centralizer lattice $\mathfrak{C}(G)$ of a group G cannot be written as a union of two proper intervals. In particular, it follows that $\mathfrak{C}(G)$ has no breaking point. As an application, we show that the generalized quaternion 2-groups are not capable.
