We prove a duality theorem for the p-adic étale motivic cohomology of the complement of a divisor on a smooth projective variety over a finite field of characteristic p. We apply this theorem to prove several finiteness results for the Brauer group of normal surfaces and their regular loci over finite fields. In particular, we show that the Artin conjecture about the finiteness of the Brauer group for smooth projective surfaces over a finite field implies the same for all projective surfaces over the field. We also show that the Tate conjecture for divisors on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields implies its analog for normal projective surfaces over such fields.

We consider the computational problem of determining the unit group of a finite ring, by which we mean the computation of a finite presentation together with an algorithm to express units as words in the generators. We show that the problem is equivalent to the number theoretic problems of factoring integers and solving discrete logarithms in finite fields. A similar equivalence is shown for the problem of determining the abelianization of the unit group or the first K-group of finite rings.

A graph Γ is called locally s-arc-transitive if the stabiliser in of a vertex v is transitive on the set of all r-arcs in Γ with initial vertex v, for every . A theorem by Stellmacher and van Bon (2015) states that if Γ is a connected finite locally s-arc-transitive graph in which every vertex has valency at least 3, then . This theorem complements Tutte's famous theorem for s-arc-transitive finite graphs of valency 3 (showing that ) and its extension by Weiss to s-arc-transitive finite graphs of higher valency (for which ). In the current paper, the author gives a positive answer to a question by Michael Giudici, by showing that locally 9-arc-transitive graphs are not as rare as might have been expected. Specifically, it is proved that for all but finitely many n, there exists a finite graph upon which the alternating group acts as a locally 9-arc-transitive group of automorphisms. The proof involves the construction and combination of finite quotients of an amalgamated product where A and B are vertex-stabilisers of orders 12288 and 20480 intersecting in an edge-stabiliser of order 4096.

In 2017, Green and Schroll introduced a generalization of Brauer graph algebras which they call Brauer configuration algebras. In the present paper, we further generalize Brauer configuration algebras to fractional Brauer configuration algebras by generalizing Brauer configurations to fractional Brauer configurations. The fractional Brauer configuration algebras are locally bounded but neither finite-dimensional nor symmetric in general. We show that if the fractional Brauer configuration is of type S (resp. of type MS), then the corresponding fractional Brauer configuration algebra is a locally bounded Frobenius algebra (resp. a locally bounded special multiserial Frobenius algebra). Moreover, we show that over an algebraically closed field, the class of finite-dimensional indecomposable representation-finite fractional Brauer configuration algebras in type S coincides with the class of basic indecomposable finite-dimensional standard representation-finite self-injective algebras.

Using techniques from the theory of marked bases, we develop new effective methods for detecting and constructing Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein and complete intersection homogeneous polynomial ideals over a field . Due to the functorial properties of marked bases, an elementary proof follows for the openness of the arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay, arithmetically Gorenstein and strict complete intersection -rational points loci in a Hilbert scheme with a non-constant Hilbert polynomial.

The action of the symmetric group on set partitions of a set of size 2m into m sets each of size 2 generates the Foulkes module . In this paper, we study both the ordinary and the modular structure of the twisted Foulkes module of the symmetric group , where , defined over a field. Over characteristic zero, we construct a polynomial whose coefficients are the ordinary characters of the various twisted Foulkes modules of as m and k vary. Further, when the underlying field has odd characteristic, we study the asymptotics of the non-projective part of the tensor powers of these modules by computing the gamma invariant as defined by Dave Benson and Peter Symonds.

We prove that under some mild conditions, each faithful Frobenius functor preserves and reflects right -Gorenstein objects and further preserves the right -Gorenstein dimension of unbounded complexes, where is the left part of a right periodic cotorsion pair. Consequently, such functors preserve and reflect Gorenstein flat-cotorsion modules. As an application, we show that the Gorenstein flat-cotorsion property of module factorizations and -shaped diagrams has a “local-global” principle. Finally, we study the behavior of relative stable categories, singularity categories and Gorenstein defect categories under Frobenius functors.
