This paper investigates the arithmetic of fractional ideals of a purely cubic function field and the infrastructure of the principal ideal class when the field has unit rank one. First, we describe how irreducible polynomials decompose into prime ideals in the maximal order of the field. We go on to compute so-called canonical bases of ideals; such bases are very suitable for computation. We st...

The irreducible representations of the double cover of SL(m) with infinitesmal character 1p having a maximal primitive ideal are determined. We investigate whether these representations are attached to a nilpotent orbit and use the orbit method to speculate their K types. We conclude with a character formula expressing the representations as a sum of simpler virtual representions. Thesis Superv...

For every hyperbolic group and more general hyperbolic graphs, we construct an equivariant ideal bicombing: this is a homological analogue of the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds. We then construct a cohomological invariant which implies that several Measure Equivalence and Orbit Equivalence rigidity results established in [MSb] hold for all non-elementary hyperbolic groups and thei...

An algebra generated by projections with relations of Temperley–Lieb type is considered. Knowledge of Gröbner basis of the ideal allows to find a linear basis of the algebra. Some questions of representation theory for this algebra were studied in [13]. Obtained in the present paper are the additional relations, which hold in all finite-dimensional irreducible ∗-representations, although they d...

Different properties of rings and fields are discussed. We introduce ring homomorphisms, their kernels and images, and prove the First Isomorphism Theorem, namely that for a homomorphism f : R −→ S we have R/ker(f) ∼= Im(f). Then we define prime and irreducible elements and show that every principal ideal domain is factorial. Finally we show that polynomial rings over fields are Euclidean and h...

We develop a theory of arithmetic Newton polygons of higher order, that provides the factorization of a separable polynomial over a p-adic field, together with relevant arithmetic information about the fields generated by the irreducible factors. This carries out a program suggested by Ø. Ore. As an application, we obtain fast algorithms to compute discriminants, prime ideal decomposition and i...
