We use techniques from both real and complex algebraic geometry to study$K$-theoretic and related invariants of the algebra$C$($X$) of continuous complex-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff topological space$X$. For example, we prove a parameterized version of a theorem by Joseph Gubeladze; we show that if$M$is a countable, abelian, cancellative, torsion-free, semi-normal monoid, and$X$is contractible, then every finitely generated projective module over$C$($X$)[$M$] is free. The particular case $$ M = \mathbb{N}_0^n $$ gives a parameterized version of the celebrated theorem proved independently by Daniel Quillen and Andrei Suslin that finitely generated projective modules over a polynomial ring over a field are free. The conjecture of Jonathan Rosenberg which predicts the homotopy invariance of the negative algebraic$K$-theory of$C$($X$) follows from the particular case $$ M = {\mathbb{Z}^n} $$ . We also give algebraic conditions for a functor from commutative algebras to abelian groups to be homotopy invariant on$C$^{*}-algebras, and for a homology theory of commutative algebras to vanish on$C$^{*}-algebras. These criteria have numerous applications. For example, the vanishing criterion applied to nil$K$-theory implies that commutative$C$^{*}-algebras are$K$-regular. As another application, we show that the familiar formulas of Hochschild–Kostant–Rosenberg and Loday–Quillen for the algebraic Hochschild and cyclic homology of the coordinate ring of a smooth algebraic variety remain valid for the algebraic Hochschild and cyclic homology of$C$($X$). Applications to the conjectures of Beĭlinson-Soulé and Farrell–Jones are also given.

We study the coinduction functor on the category of FI-modules and its variants. Using the coinduction functor, we give new and simpler proofs of (generalizations of) various results on homological properties of FI-modules. We also prove that any finitely generated projective VI-module over a field of characteristic 0 is injective.

In this paper we describe an inductive machinery to investigate asymptotic behaviors of homology groups and related invariants of representations of certain graded combinatorial categories over a commutative Noetherian ring k, via introducing inductive functors which generalize important properties of shift functors of FI-modules. In particular, a sufficient criterion for finiteness of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of finitely generated representations of these categories is obtained. As applications, we show that a few important infinite combinatorial categories appearing in representation stability theory are equipped with inductive functors, and hence the finiteness of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of their finitely generated representations is guaranteed. We also prove that truncated representations of these categories have linear minimal resolutions by relative projective modules, which are precisely linear minimal projective resolutions when k is a field of characteristic 0.

In this paper we study the singularities of holomorphic functions of bicomplex variables introduced by G. B. Price ($An Introduction to Multicomplex Spaces and Functions$, Dekker, New York,1991). In particular, we use computational algebra techniques to show that even in the case of one bicomplex variable, there cannot be compact singularities. The same techniques allow us to prove a duality theorem for such functions.
