We study the general theory of Frobenius algebras with group actions. These structures arise when one is studying the algebraic structures associated to a geometry stemming from a physical theory with a global finite gauge group, i.e. orbifold theories. In this context, we introduce and axiomatize these algebras. Furthermore, we define geometric cobordism categories whose functors to the catego...

In this work we find the isomonodromic (Jimbo-Miwa) tau-function corresponding to Frobenius manifold structures on Hurwitz spaces. We discuss several applications of this result. First, we get an explicit expression for the G-function (solution of Getzler’s equation) of the Hurwitz Frobenius manifolds. Second, in terms of this tau-function we compute the genus one correction to the free energy ...

Let R be a finite commutative ring. We prove that a MacWilliams type relation between the m-spotty weight enumerators of a linear code over R and its dual hold, if and only if, R is a Frobenius (equivalently, Quasi-Frobenius) ring, if and only if, the number of maximal ideals and minimal ideals of R are the same, if and only if, for every linear code C over R, the dual of the dual C is C itself...

We prove the injectivity of Frobenius endomorphism on $\mathsf {B}_{\operatorname {cris}}$, {B}_{\max }$ and {st}}$.

We give a sufficient condition for a bi-invariant weight on a Frobenius bimodule to satisfy the extension property. This condition applies to bi-invariant weights on a finite Frobenius ring as a special case. The complex-valued functions on a Frobenius bimodule are viewed as a module over the semigroup ring of the multiplicative semigroup of the coefficient ring.

Properties of matrix product codes over finite commutative Frobenius rings are investigated. The minimum distance of matrix product codes constructed with several types of matrices is bounded in different ways. The duals of matrix product codes are also explicitly described in terms of matrix product codes.

We prove a congruence criterion for the algebraic theory of power operations in Morava E-theory, analogous to Wilkerson’s congruence criterion for torsion free λ-rings. In addition, we provide a geometric description of this congruence criterion, in terms of sheaves on the moduli problem of deformations of formal groups and Frobenius isogenies.
