In [Math. Ann. 367 (2017), pp. 1517–1586] Bar-Natan and the first author show that solutions to the Kashiwara–Vergne equations are in bijection with certain knot invariants: homomorphic expansions of welded foams. Welded foams are a class of knotted tubes in \mathbb {R}^4, which can be finitely presented algebraically as a circuit algebra , or equivalently, a wheeled prop. In this paper we describe the Kashiwara-Vergne groups \mathsf {KV} and \mathsf {KRV}—the symmetry groups of Kashiwara-Vergne solutions—as automorphisms of the completed circuit algebras of welded foams, and their associated graded circuit algebras of arrow diagrams, respectively. Finally, we provide a description of the graded Grothendieck-Teichmüller group \mathsf {GRT}_1 as automorphisms of arrow diagrams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this short note we correct the statement of the main result of [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 373 (2020), no. 3, 1909-1940]. That paper presented the rational cohomology ring of a toric arrangement by generators and relations. One of the series of relations given in the paper is indexed over the set circuits in the arrangement's arithmetic matroid. That series of relations should however be indexed over all sets X with |X| = rk(X)+1. Below we give the complete and correct presentation of the rational cohomology ring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let R be a standard graded Gorenstein algebra over a field presented by quadrics. In [Compositio Math. 129 (2001), no. 1, 95-121], Conca-Rossi-Valla show that such a ring is Koszul if reg R ≤ 2 or if reg R = 3 and c = codim R ≤ 4, and they ask whether this is true for reg R = 3 in general. We determine sufficient conditions on a non-Koszul quadratic Cohen-Macaulay ring R that guarantee the Nagata idealization ~ R = R × ωR(−a−1) is a non-Koszul quadratic Gorenstein ring. We prove there exist rings of regularity 3 satisfying our conditions for all c ≥ 9; this yields a negative answer to the question from the above-mentioned paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let g be the derived subalgebra of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra of finite-type or affine-type, let μ be a diagram automorphism of g, and let L(g,μ) be the loop algebra of g associated to μ. In this paper, by using the vertex algebra technique, we provide a general construction of current-type presentations for the universal central extension g[μ] of L(g,μ). The construction contains the classical limit of Drinfeld's new realization for (twisted and untwisted) quantum affine algebras [Soviet Math. Dokl. 36 (1988), pp. 212-216] and the Moody-Rao-Yokonuma presentation for toroidal Lie algebras [Geom. Dedicata 35 (1990), pp. 283-307] as special examples. As an application, when g is of simply-laced-type, we prove that the classical limit of the μ-twisted quantum affinization of the quantum Kac-Moody algebra associated to g introduced in [J. Math. Phys. 59 (2018), 081701] is the universal enveloping algebra of g[μ]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the main results stated in Theorem 4.4 of our article, which appears in Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 372 (2019), no. 10, 7191-7223, is that the structure algebra K[M(X,r)], over a field K, of a finite bijective left non-degenerate solution (X,r) of the Yang-Baxter equation is a module-finite central extension of a commutative affine subalgebra. This is proven by showing that the structure monoid M(X,r) is central-by-finite. This however is not true, even in case (X,r) is a (left and right) non-degenerate involutive solution. The proof contains a subtle mistake. However, it turns out that the monoid M(X,r) is abelian-by-finite and thus the conclusion that K[M(X,r)] is a module-finite normal extension of a commutative affine subalgebra remains valid. In particular, K[M(X,r)] is Noetherian and satisfies a polynomial identity. The aim of this paper is to give a proof of this result. In doing so, we also strengthen Lemma 5.3 (and its consequences, namely Lemma 5.4 and Proposition 5.5) showing that these results on the prime spectrum of the structure monoid hold even if the assumption that the solution (X,r) is square-free is omitted.

In this paper we let $G$ be a simple algebraic group and $r$ be a natural number, and consider the codimension in $G$ of the variety of elements $g\in G$ satisfying $g^r=1$. We shall obtain a lower bound for this codimension which is independent of characteristic, and show that it is attained if $G$ is of adjoint type. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the existence and nonexistence of global positive solutions to $u_t=\Delta\ln(1+u)$ in $\Omega \times (0, +\infty)$, \[\frac{\partial\ln(1+u)}{\partial n}=\sqrt{1+u}(\ln(1+u))^{\alpha} \quad\text{on} \partial \Omega \times (0, +\infty),] and $u(x, 0)=u_0(x)$ in $\Omega$. Here $\alpha\geq 0$ is a parameter, $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded smooth domain. After pointing out the mistakes in {\em Global behavior of positive solutions to nonlinear diffusion problems with nonlinear absorption through the boundary}, SIAM J. Math. Anal. {\bf 24} (1993), 317--326, by N. Wolanski, which claims that, for $\Omega=B_R$ the ball of $\mathbb{R}^N$, the positive solution exists globally if and only if $\alpha\leq 1$, we reconsider the same problem in general bounded domain $\Omega$ and obtain that every positive solution exists globally if and only if $\alpha\leq {1/2}$.
