  • Specializations of Crossed ProductsCommunications in Algebra, Vol. 13, N. 12, 2003,pp.5781-5792. Determines conditions under which weakly Azumaya algebras over a field can be represented as special fibers of a homogeneous jump deformation whose general fiber is Morita equivalent to a crossed product.
  • Homogeneous deformations of Brauer tree algebras , with Evelyne Zakay-Illouz.
    Communications in Algebra, 31, No. 11, 2003, pp. 5243-5252,Results of the previous two papers are applied to give a natural homogeneous deformation of a Brauer tree algebra.
  • Folded Tilting Complexes for Brauer star algebras, with Jeremy Rickard.
    Advances in Math. 171, 2002, pp. 167-182. Shows that the tree-to-star one-sided tilting complex of Rickard and the star-to-tree one-sided tilting complex of Schaps-Zakay, when given compatible foldings, are inverse to each other. When completely folded, they give the two-term, two-sided complex of Rouquier. To appear in Advances in Mathematics.
  • Braid Group Action on the Refolded Tilting Complexes of the Brauer Star Algebra, with Evelyne Zakay-Illouz.
    In an earlier paper we showed that the set of "two-restricted" tilting complexes for the Brauer star algebra is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of brauer trees with an additional structure called a pointing, which determines the folding of the complex. Here we show that the subgroup of self-equivalences of the Brauer star algebra obtained by going out with one pointing and returning by another is generated by e generators which satisfy the braid relations for the Euclidean diagram which is a cycle. ps Representations of Algebras, ICRA IX (2002), pp. 434-449.
  • The Donald-Flanigan problem for finite reflection groups, with M. Gerstenhaber and A. Giaquinto.

  • Pointed Brauer trees, with Evelyne Zakay-Illouz.
    Journal of Algebra, 246, 647-672 (2001). Shows that the set of "two-restricted" tilting complexes for the Brauer star algebra is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of brauer trees with an additional structure called a pointing, which determines the folding of the complex.
  • Combinatorial partial tilting complexes for the Brauer star algebras, with Evelyne Zakay-Illouz.
    To appear in the proceeding of the conference on rep. of algebras in Sao Paolo. Determines conditions on a complex which is a direct sum of elementary complexes with at most two indecomposable projectives which are necessary and sufficient for it to be a partial tilting comples for the Brauer star.
  • Quivers of blocks with normal defect group, with Dana Shapiro and Orly Shlomo.
    Proc. of Aym. in Pure Math 63 (1998). The quivers of skew products of a local algebra A by a finite p'-group are shown to be identical with the McKay graphs of certain representations of the group. This applies in particular to Brauer correspondents of blocks of finite groups. The relations are also derived from the relations of the algebra.
