Short description of the research project

This project has as main aim to approach actual problems of high-level mathematical research. The branches of mathematics are diversifying and specializing continuously. However, mathematics becomes more and more unitary. This is realized by using structures. The mathematical domains are communicating very well. Algebraic objects get topological structures, geometric objects get algebraic structures, new "mixed" concepts are developping. This project has as characteristic the use of algebraic methods in the study and classification of structures (Hopf algebras, classes of graded algebras, near-rings, moduli spaces etc.), of topological methods in group theory and in the study of families of geometric objects, in the intersection theory in algebraic geometry, in the study of subalgebras of affine algebras, combinatorial and topological methods in the study of standard graded algebras, p-adic analysis, factorization problems.The goal of the present project is to use and develop these methods in the following seven research topics:


1. The Lefschetz Property of some graded standard algebras and algorithms for determining the state polytope for some classes of rings.

2. Homological methods in commutative algebra: MCM module and classes of arithmetical rings.

3. Algebraic and toplogical approaches in group theory and in the study of some moduli spaces.

4. Special classes of Hopf algebras, near-rings and intersection theory on algebraic stacks.

5. Algorithms for determining the Newton polyhedron and classes of MCM modules.

6. p-adic analysis, factorization of polynomial convolutions, constructions of near-rings.

7. Subalgebras of affine algebras, polilogarithms, moduli of some classes of abelian surfaces.
