Residual finiteness in permutation varieties of semigroups.
We describe partial semi-simplicial resolutions of moduli spaces of surfaces with tangential structure. This allows us to prove a homological stability theorem for these moduli spaces, which often improves the known stability ranges and gives explicit stability ranges in many new cases. In each of these cases the stable homology can be identified using the methods of Galatius, Madsen, Tillmann and Weiss.
In this paper we study restricted Boolean rings and group rings. A ring is if every proper homomorphic image of is boolean. Our main aim is to characterize restricted Boolean group rings. A complete characterization of non-prime restricted Boolean group rings has been obtained. Also in case of prime group rings necessary conditions have been obtained for a group ring to be restricted Boolean. A counterexample is given to show that these conditions are not sufficient.
We present a system of interrelated conjectures which can be considered as restricted addition counterparts of classical theorems due to Kneser, Kemperman, and Scherk. Connections with the theorem of Cauchy-Davenport, conjecture of Erdős-Heilbronn, and polynomial method of Alon-Nathanson-Ruzsa are discussed.The paper assumes no expertise from the reader and can serve as an introduction to the subject.
