We define Boolean algebras over nominal sets with a functionsymbol Nmirroring the N‘fresh name’ quantifier. We also define dual notions of nominal topology and Stone space, prove a representation theorem over fields of nominal sets, and extend this to a Stone duality.

We investigate pure monomorphisms and pure epimorphisms in varieties of universal algebras with applications to equationally compact (= pure injective) algebras, pure projective algebras and perfect varieties.

The affine and degenerate affine Birman-Murakami-Wenzl (BMW) algebras arise naturally in the context of Schur-Weyl duality for orthogonal and symplectic quantum groups and Lie algebras, respectively. Cyclotomic BMW algebras, affine and cyclotomic Hecke algebras, and their degenerate versions are quotients. In this paper we explain how the affine and degenerate affine BMW algebras are tantalizer...

We introduce a concept and develop a theory of Galois subalgebras in skew semigroup rings. Proposed approach has a strong impact on the representation theory, first of all the theory of Harish-Chandra modules, of many infinite dimensional algebras including the Generalized Weyl algebras, the universal enveloping algebras of reductive Lie algebras, their quantizations, Yangians etc. In particula...

We prove Auslander-Gorenstein and GKdim-Macaulay properties for certain invariant subrings of some quantum algebras, the Weyl algebras, and the universal enveloping algebras of finite dimensional Lie algebras.
