We present the Zariski spectrum as an inductively generated basic topology à la Martin-Löf and Sambin. Since we can thus get by without considering powers and radicals, this simplifies the presentation as a formal topology initiated by Sigstam. Our treatment includes closed and open subspaces: that is, quotients and localisations. All the effective objects under consideration are introduced by ...

Abstract. In previous work, the second author introduced a topology, for spaces of irreducible representations, that reduces to the classical Zariski topology over commutative rings but provides a proper refinement in various noncommutative settings. In this paper, a concise and elementary description of this refined Zariski topology is presented, under certain hypotheses, for the space of simp...

In this paper we prove that there cannot be a biplane admitting a primitive, flagtransitive automorphism group of almost simple type, with alternating or sporadic socle.

Let G be a finite group with Sylow 2-subgroup P 6 G. Navarro–Tiep–Vallejo have conjectured that the principal 2-block of NG(P) contains exactly one irreducible Brauer character if and only if all odd-degree ordinary irreducible characters in the principal 2-block of G are fixed by a certain Galois automorphism σ. By recent work of Navarro–Vallejo it suffices to show this conjecture holds for al...

— In this paper we show how to recover a special class of valuations (which generalize in a natural way the Zariski prime divisors) of function fields from the Galois theory of the functions fields in discussion. These valuations play a central role in the birational anabelian geometry and related questions. Résumé (Théorie de Galois pro-` des diviseurs premiers de Zariski) Dans cet article nou...

The G-module structure of the cohomology groups of line bundles over the flag variety G/B for a semisimple algebraic group G is studied. It is proved that, generically, their socle filtrations satisfy the same sum formula as Andersen’s filtrations if Lusztig’s conjecture is true. Another purpose of this paper is to calculate the socle series of the H0’s for the p-regular weights close to a cham...

The web has evolved from a technological platform to a real social milieu thereby becoming a continuous source of Big Social Data (BSD). BSD is characterized by a combination of factual content such as the coordinates of a restaurant, the content of a webpage or the title of a movie, behavior data such as exchanges between social relationships, as well as subjective data such as users’ opinions...
