Abstract: This will be the second of a series of talks devoted to some topics around the Sezemerédi Theorem. We briefly recall what we did in the first talk, and then we state the results that lead us to the Szemerédi theorem.

PS Rings

Zübeyir Türkoğlu, Dokuz Eylül University.
Date:  26th of September, 2018, Wednesday
Place: Dokuz Eylül Univ., Tınaztepe Campus, Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics, Room B206.
Abstract: In this seminar, we will talk about rings with projective socle. These rings are called PS rings. The following characterization of PS rings were given by W. K. Nicholson and J. F.Watters “R is a PS ring if and only if the right annihilator of every left maximal ideal is of the form fR where f is  an idempotent in R if and only if R has a faithful module with projective socle.”

Around the Szemerédi theorem 1

Selçuk Demir, Dokuz Eylül University

Date: 21/09/2018, Friday, Time: 10:00

Abstract: This will be the first of a series of talks devoted to some topics around the Sezemerédi Theorem. In this first talk I will concentrate on the van der Waerden theorem. I will formulate a dynamical version of this beautiful theorem. I will try to state the results in a way which will lead us to a similar theorem leading us to the Szemerédi theorem.

Cotorsion Pairs in Categories of Quiver Representations and Maximal Equivalence between Categories of Complexes

Sinem Odabaşı, Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Science Faculty, The Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh).
Date: 26th of July, 2018, Thursday. Time: 10:00 – 12:30.
Place: Dokuz Eylül Univ., Tınaztepe Campus, Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics, Room B206.
Abstract: The talk is divided into two parts:
1) Completness of the induced cotorsion pairs in categories of representations of a quiver. (arXiv:1711.00559)
The concept of representations of a quiver can be traced back to [Gab72]. Now, it is known that the theory of representations of a quiver plays a crucial role in several branches of mathematics, such as Lie Algebras, quantum groups, etc. In this talk, for a given quiver Q and an abelian category C we will be interested in certain (relative) homological aspects of the category Rep(Q,C) of C-valued representations of Q. Namely, given a cotorsion pair (A,B) in an abelian category C, which satisfies certain mild conditions, there are several ways to lift that cotorsion pair to a cotorsion pair in Rep(Q,C), see [HJ16]. In [Question 7.7, HJ16], the authors proposed the following question: Is it true that if the cotorsion pair (A,B) is complete, then so are these induced cotorsion pairs in Rep(Q,C)? In this talk, we show that the answer to this question is affirmative under certain conditions. In addition, we provide a quiver that does not satisfy these conditions, but gives an affirmative answer to the aforementioned question.
2) On maximal equivalence of subcategories of chain complexes.
The notion of adjoint functors is a weaker version of equivalence of categories. So when one has an adjoint functor based on an object, it is natural to come up with the question of determining objects in such a way that its associated adjoint functor turns out to be an equivalence of categories just like it happens in the so-called Morita equivalence. Having this phenomenon, an (right) R-module P is said to be *-module if the representable functor Hom_R(P,-) induces a maximal equivalence between Mod-R and Mod-A, where A:=End_R(P), that is, an equivalence between the subcategory gen(P) of P-generated R-modules and the subcategory cogen(P^*) of P^*:= Hom_R(P,E)-cogenerated A-modules, where E is a cogenerator for Mod-R. Inspired from this, we introduce two notions of chain complexes, called *-complex and modified *-complex, each of which leads to a maximal equivalence between categories of chain complexes through the total hom complex and the modified hom-complex, respectively. In this talk, we will discuss their characterizations and their relations with (pre)silting complexes. This is a work in progress.

Abstract: In this talk, we make an introduction to  number fields and cover some properties of their ring of integers. Next, we define the class group of a number field. Finally, we define Dedekind zeta function for a number field and give the analytic class number formula.
