We consider the category of smooth $W(k)[\text{GL}_{n}(F)]$-modules, where $F$ is a $p$-adic field and $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $\ell$ different from $p$. We describe a factorization of this category into blocks, and show that the center of each such block is a reduced, $\ell$-torsion free, finite type $W(k)$-algebra. Moreover, the $k$-points of the center of a such a block are in bijection with the possible ‘supercuspidal supports’ of the smooth $k[\text{GL}_{n}(F)]$-modules that lie in the block. Finally, we describe a large explicit subalgebra of the center of each block and give a description of the action of this algebra on the simple objects of the block, in terms of the description of the classical ‘characteristic zero’ Bernstein center of Bernstein and Deligne [Le ‘centre’ de Bernstein, in Representations des groups redutifs sur un corps local, Traveaux en cours (ed. P. Deligne) (Hermann, Paris), 1–32].

Letkbe any algebraically closed field, and denote byk((t)) the field of formal power series in one indeterminatetoverk. Letso thatKis the field of Puiseux expansions with coefficients ink(each element ofKis a formal power series intl/rfor some positive integerr). It is well-known thatKis algebraically closed if and only ifkis of characteristic zero [1, p. 61]. For examples relating to ramified extensions of fields with valuation [9, §6] it is useful to have a field analogous toKwhich is algebraically closed whenkhas non-zero characteristicp. In this paper, I prove that the setLof all formal power series of the form Σaitei(where (ei) is well-ordered,ei=mi|nprt,n∈ Ζ,mi∈ Ζ,ai∈k,ri∈ Ν) forms an algebraically closed field.

Let f: V → C be a fibration from a smooth projective surface onto a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field k. In the case of characteristic zero, almost all fibres of f are nonsingular. In the case of positive characteristic, it is, however, known that there exist fibrations whose general fibres have singularities. Moreover, it seems that such fibrations often have pathological phenomena of algebraic geometry in positive characteristic (see M. Raynaud [7], W. Lang [4]).

AbstractIt is shown that the following conditions on a finite-dimensional algebra A over a real closed field or an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero are equivalent: (i) A admits a special involution, in the sense of Easdown and Munn, (ii) A admits a proper involution, (iii) A is semisimple.

In “Seminormal rings and weakly normal varieties” we introduced the notion of a c-regular function on an algebraic variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Our intention was to describe those k-valued functions on a variety X that become regular functions when lifted to the normalization of X, but without any reference to the normalization in the definition. That is, we aspired to identify the c-regular functions on X with the regular functions on the weak normalization of X

In [10] it was proved that, if X denotes a non singular surface which is a complete intersection in (k an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0) and C an irreducible curve on X, which is a set-theoretic complete intersection in X, then C is actually a complete intersection in X; the key point was to show that Pic (X) modulo the subgroup generated by the class of is torsion-free.

This paper contributes to the classification of finite dimensional Hopf algebras. It is shown that every Hopf algebra of dimension 30 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is semisimple and thus isomorphic to a group algebra or the dual of a group algebra.

AbstractLet Mn be the algebra of n × n matrices over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. For A ∊ Mn, denote by the collection of all matrices in Mn that are similar to A. In this paper we characterize those invertible linear operators ϕ on Mn that satisfy , where for some given A1,..., Ak ∊ Mn and denotes the (Zariski) closure of S. Our theorem covers a result of Howard on linear operators mapping the set of matrices annihilated by a given polynomial into itself, and extends a result of Chan and Lim on linear operators commuting with the function f(x) = xk for a given positive integer k ≥ 2. The possibility of weakening the invertibility assumption in our theorem is considered, a partial answer to a conjecture of Howard is given, and some extensions of our result to arbitrary fields are discussed.

AbstractLet F be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let A be an associative unitary F-algebra graded by a group of prime order. We prove that if A is finite dimensional then the graded exponent of A exists and is an integer.
