Swan K-theory of Z/4
Given a finite group $G$ and a commutative ring $R$, define the Swan $K$-theory $K_0(G, R)$ to be the Grothendieck group of the category finitely generated projective $R$-modules with $G$-action (with ...

Is being a Frobenius algebra a rare condition for local algebras?
Let $U_{r,l,q}$ be the set of finite dimensional local algebras $A$ over a finite field with $q$ elements such that $J/J^2$ is $r$-dimensional for a number $r \geq 2$ and such that $J^l=0$ for the ...

Is the category of symmetric bimodules over a commutative ring closed under extensions?
Let $A$ be a commutative ring, and consider the category of bimodules over $A$.
An $A$-bimodule $M$ is called symmetric if $a\cdot m = m \cdot a$ for all $a \in A$, $m \in M$.
Is the category of ...

Covering derivations of a quotient algebra
Let $(\mathcal{A},+,·)$ an algebra and $\mathcal{I}$ an ideal of $\mathcal{A}$.
Is easy to check that if $D\in Der(\mathcal{A})$ with $D(\mathcal{I})\subseteq I$ then $D$ induces a derivation $D_I$ ...

Are polynomial algebras over fields (that are not algebraically closed) tame?
Let $A$ be an algebra over a field $K$. Loosely speaking, an algebra is said to be tame if for each $d \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ all but finitely-many of the indecomposable $A$-modules of $K$-dimension $...

Kernels of actions on truncated polynomial algebra
Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $k=\mathbb{F}_p$ be the field with $p$ elements. Let $G=\text{GL}_n(k)$. The group $G$ acts on the truncated polynomial algebra $A:=k[x_1,\ldots, x_n]/(x_1^p,\ldots, ...

Auslander-Reiten-Quivers of representation-finite algebras having different 3-dimensional forms
I am looking for references, where I can find (pictures of) connected Auslander-Reiten-Quivers of representation-finite $k$-algebras ($k$ is a (preferably, but not necessarily finite) field) with one ...

What is the name for algebras generated by elements, all of whose cubes vanish?
Given a ring $R$ with identity $1$, we can define the exterior algebra of order $k$ over $R$ to be the algebra over $R$, generated by elements $x_1, \dots, x_k$ satisfying $x_i^2 = 0$ for each index $...

Composition of Frobenius $n$-homomorphisms, characteristic-free?
This question is, as so often, a crossbreed of curiosity and laziness. The
former has led me to an interesting, but somewhat unsatisfactory paper by

It is known that the level $k$ Verlinde ring of $SU(n)$ is $R(SU(n))/I_k$, where $I_k$ is the Verlinde ideal. A set of generators of $I_k$ is given by $\{V_{(k+i)L_1}:=\text{Sym}^{k+i}V_{\text{std}}| ...
