let $r$ be a ring and $m$ a right $r$-module with $s=end_r(m)$. a module $m$ is called semi-projective if for any epimorphism $f:mrightarrow n$, where $n$ is a submodule of $m$, and for any homomorphism $g: mrightarrow n$, there exists $h:mrightarrow m$ such that $fh=g$. in this paper, we study sgq-projective and$pi$-semi-projective modules as two generalizations of semi-projective modules. a m...

We are mainly concerned with the completablity of unimodular rows to an invertible matrix. We first relate this to stable range of the ring. Further, we consider rows generating an idempotent of the ring to obtain completability under special conditions. We try to obtain analogues of important theorems regarding unimodular rows in the case of these “idempotent rows”. By ring, we shall always me...

The present paper is a note on the relative tensor degree of finite groups. This notion generalizes the tensor degree, introduced recently in literature, and allows us to adapt the concept of relative commutativity degree through the notion of nonabelian tensor square. We show two inequalities, which correlate the relative tensor degree with the relative commutativity degree of finite groups. 1...

Let S be a nite nonabelian simple group, and let H be a subgroup of S. In this work, the dominion (in the sense of Isbell) of H in S in Var(S) is determined, generalizing an example of B.H. Neumann. A necessary and suucient condition for H to be epimorphically embedded in S is obtained. These results are then extended to a variety generated by a family of nite nonabelian simple groups. An epimo...

We prove that in an abelian category with enough projective objects, the extension subcategory of two covariantly finite subcategories is still covariantly finite. This extends a result by Sikko and Smalø. We also prove a triangulated version of the result. As applications, we obtain short proofs to a classical result by Ringel and a recent result by Krause and Solberg. 1. Main Theorems Let C b...

Motivated by quotient algorithms, such as the well-known $p$-quotient or solvable we describe how to compute extensions $\tilde H$ of a finite group $H$ direct sum isomorphic simple $\mathbb{Z}_p H$-modules that and have same number generators. Similar other our description will be via suitable covering $H$. Defining this requires study representation module, introduced Gasch\"utz in 1954. Our ...

We propose a new approach to superrigidity phenomena and implement it for lattice representations and measurable cocycles with Homeo+(S ) as the target group. We are motivated by Ghys’ theorem stating that any representation ̺ : Γ → Homeo+(S ) of an irreducible lattices Γ in semi-simple real Lie groups G of higher rank, either has a finite orbit or, up to a semiconjugacy, extends to G which acts...

Let G be a split semisimple algebraic group over a field k and let X be the flag variety (i.e., the variety of Borel subgroups) of G twisted by a generic G-torsor. We start a systematic study of the conjecture, raised in [8] in form of a question, that the canonical epimorphism of the Chow ring of X onto the associated graded ring of the topological filtration on the Grothendieck ring of X is a...

We present sufficient conditions under which effective descent morphisms in a quasivariety of universal algebras are the same as regular epimorphisms and examples for which they are the same as regular epimorphisms satisfying projectivity. 1. Preliminaries A variety is a full subcategory of the category of structures for a first order (one sorted) language, closed under substructures, products ...
