The hypercentral structure of the group of unitriangular automorphisms of a free metabelian Lie algebra

We describe the hypercentral structure of the group of unitriangular automorphisms of a free metabelian Lie algebra over an arbitrary field. Using it, we prove that this group admits no faithful representation by matrices over a field provided that the algebra rank is at least four.     

Graded automorphism group of TKK algebra

The classification of extended affine Lie algebras of type A_1 depends on the Tits-Kantor- Koecher (TKK) algebras constructed from semilattices of Euclidean spaces.One can define a unitary Jordan algebra J(S) from a semilattice S of R~v (v≥1),and then construct an extended affine Lie algebra of type A_1 from the TKK algebra T(J(S)) which is obtained from the Jordan algebra J(S) by the so-called Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction.In R~2 there are only two non-similar semilattices S and S′,where S is a lattice and S′is a non-lattice semilattice.In this paper we study the Z~2-graded automorphisms of the TKK algebra T(J(S)).     

Automorphism group and representation of a twisted multi-loop algebra

Let G be the complexification of the real Lie algebra so（3） and A = C[t1^±1, t2^±1] be the Lau-ent polynomial algebra with commuting variables. Let L：（t1, t2, 1） = G c .A be the twisted multi-loop Lie algebra. Recently we have studied the universal central extension, derivations and its vertex operator representations. In the present paper we study the automorphism group and bosonic representations ofL（t1, t2, 1）.     

On the group of conjugating automorphisms of a free group

The group of conjugating automorphisms of a free group and certain subgroups of this group, namely, the group of McCool basis-conjugating automorphisms and the Artin braid group are considered. The Birman theorem on the representation of a braid group by matrices is sharpened. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 60, No. 1, pp. 92–108, July, 1996.

Graded automorphism group of TKK Lie algebra over semilattice

Every extended affine Lie algebra of type A ₁ and nullity ν with extended affine root system R(A ₁, S), where S is a semilattice in ℝ ^ν , can be constructed from a TKK Lie algebra T (J (S)) which is obtained from the Jordan algebra J (S) by the so-called Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction. In this article we consider the ℤ ⁿ -graded automorphism group of the TKK Lie algebra T (J (S)), where S is the “smallest” semilattice in Euclidean space ℝ ⁿ .     

A note on local automorphisms

Let H be an infinite-dimensional almost separable Hilbert space. We show that every local automorphism of ℬ(H), the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H, is an automorphism.     

Nonlinearity of the Automorphism Groups of Some Free Algebras

We prove that the groups of tame automorphisms of a free Lie algebra (free associative algebra, absolutely free algebra, algebra of polynomials) of rank at least four over a field of characteristic zero admit no faithful representation by matrices over any field.     

The structures for the loop-Witt algebra

The loop-Witt algebra is the Lie algebra of the tensor product of the Witt algebra and the Laurent polynomial algebra. In this paper we study the universal central extension, derivations and automorphism group for the loop-Witt algebra.     

On the group of polynomial functions in a group

Let G be a group and let n be a positive integer. A polynomial function in G is a function from G ⁿ to G of the form , where f(x ₁, . . . , x _n ) is an element of the free product of G and the free group of rank n freely generated by x ₁, . . . , x _n . There is a natural definition for the product of two polynomial functions; equipped with this operation, the set of polynomial functions is a group. We prove that this group is polycyclic if and only if G is finitely generated, soluble, and nilpotent-by-finite. In particular, if the group of polynomial functions is polycyclic, then necessarily it is nilpotent-by-finite. Furthermore, we prove that G itself is polycyclic if and only if the subgroup of polynomial functions which send (1, . . . , 1) to 1 is finitely generated and soluble.      

The automorphism group of the Toeplitz algebra onH2(T2)

The automorphism group of the C^* -algebra generated by the Toeplitz operatos with symbols being continuous functions on the bicircle is characterized completely. The investigation is based on the analysis of the behaviour of an automorphism of the Toeplitz algebra on itsC* -ideal chains, and the state of the closed ideals in .     

Symmetric designs with parameters (69, 17, 4) and F39 as a group of automorphisms

According to Mathon and Rosa [The CRC handbook of combinatorial designs, CRC Press, 1996] there is only one known symmetric design with parameters (69, 17, 4). This known design is given in Beth, Jungnickel, and Lenz [Design theory, B. I. Mannheim, 1985]; the Frobenius group F₃₉ of order 39 acts on this design, where Z₁₃ has exactly 4 fixed points and Z₃ has exactly 9 fixed points. The purpose of this article is to investigate the converse of this fact with the hope of obtaining in this way at least one more design with these parameters. In fact we obtain exactly one new such design. In this article we have classified all such designs invariant under F₃₉. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Combin Designs 6: 231–233, 1998

Strong associativity of a group algebra

The concept of strongly associative algebra was introduced in Dokuchaev and Exel [Associativity of crossed products by partial actions, enveloping actions and partial representations. Trans Amer Math Soc, 2005] roughly 2 years ago. In Section 3 of Dokuchaev and Exel (to appear), the authors gave an example of a non-strongly associative algebra. Following that example, the strong associativity of the group algebra of the cyclic group of order four was claimed. In this paper, we will prove that this group algebra is not strongly associative.     

The Hopf graph algebra and renormalization group equations

We study the renormalization group equations implied by the Hopf graph algebra. The vertex functions are regarded as vectors in the dual space of the Hopf algebra. The renormalization group equations for these vertex functions are equivalent to those for individual Feynman integrals. The solution of the renormalization group equations can be represented in the form of an exponential of the beta function. We clearly show that the exponential of the one-loop beta function allows finding the coefficients of the leading logarithms for individual Feynman integrals. The calculation results agree with those obtained in the parquet approximation.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 143, No. 1, pp. 22–32, April, 2005.
