Crossed product of C*‐algebras by hypergroups

The crossed product of ‐algebras by groups, groupoids and semigroups are well studied. In this paper we introduce and study the crossed product of ‐algebras by (locally compact) hypergroups. We calculate the crossed products by finite hypergroups of orders 2 and 3.     

Operads and varieties of algebras defined by polylinear identities

We show that varieties of algebras over abstract clones and over the corresponding operads are rationally equivalent. We introduce the class of operads (which we call commutative for definiteness) such that the varieties of algebras over these operads resemble in a sense categories of modules over commutative rings. In particular, the notions of a polylinear mapping and the tensor product of algebras. The categories of modules over commutative rings and the category of convexors are examples of varieties over commutative operads. By analogy with the theory of linear multioperator algebras, we develop a theory of C-linear multioperator algebras; in particular, of algebras, defined by C-polylinear identities (here C is a commutative operad). We introduce and study symmetric C-linear operads. The main result of this article is as follows: A variety of C-linear multioperator algebras is defined by C-polylinear identities if and only if it is rationally equivalent to a variety of algebras over a symmetric C-linear operad.     

Compatible actions of Lie algebras

Abstract

We study compatible actions (introduced by Brown and Loday in their work on the non-abelian tensor product of groups) in the category of Lie algebras over a fixed ring. We describe the Peiffer product via a new diagrammatic approach, which specializes to the known definitions both in the case of groups and of Lie algebras. We then use this approach to transfer a result linking compatible actions and pairs of crossed modules over a common base object L from groups to Lie algebras. Finally, we show that the Peiffer product, naturally endowed with a crossed module structure, has the universal property of the coproduct in XMod_L(Lie_R).     

Restricted Lie 2-algebras

In this article, we introduce the notions of restricted Lie 2-algebras and crossed modules of restricted Lie algebras, and give a series of examples of restricted Lie 2-algebras. We also construct restricted Lie 2-algebras from A(m)-algebras, restricted Leibniz algebras, restricted right-symmetric algebras. Finally, we prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between strict restricted Lie 2-algebras and crossed modules of restricted Lie algebras.     

Schanuel's Conjecture and Algebraic Roots of Exponential Polynomials

In this article, I will prove that assuming Schanuel's conjecture, an exponential polynomial with algebraic coefficients can have only finitely many algebraic roots. Furthermore, this proof demonstrates that there are no unexpected algebraic roots of any such exponential polynomial. This implies a special case of Shapiro's conjecture: if p(x) and q(x) are two exponential polynomials with algebraic coefficients, each involving only one iteration of the exponential map, and they have common factors only of the form exp (g) for some exponential polynomial g, then p and q have only finitely many common zeros.     

Brauer代数的中心维数问题

Brauer代数B_n(t)是一种在表示论,数学物理中重要的带一个参数t的有限维代数.当t取普通值时它们的结构已经了解得比较清楚,例如,不可约表示分类.当t取某些特殊值时有关它们还仍有些问题未探明.本文讨论任意参数时Brauer代数的中心的维数问题.主要结论是当t取某些特殊值时,Brauer代数中心的维数必定大于或等于t取普通值时它们的维数.     

Actions in the Category of Precrossed Modules in Lie Algebras

For any object L in the category of precrossed modules in Lie algebras PXLie, we construct the object Act(L), which we call the actor of this object. From this construction, we derive the notions of action, center, semidirect product, derivation, commutator, and abelian precrossed module in PXLie. We show that the notion of action is equivalent to the one given in semi-abelian categories, and Act(L) is the split extension classifier for L. In the case of a crossed module in Lie algebras we show how to recover its actor in the category of crossed modules from its actor in the category of precrossed modules.     

Traces on infinite-dimensional brauer algebras

We prove a theorem describing central measures for random walks on graded graphs. Using this theorem, we obtain the list of all finite traces on three infinite-dimensional algebras, namely, on the Brauer algebra, the walled Brauer algebra, and the partition algebra. The main result is that these lists coincide with the list of traces of the symmetric group or (for the walled Brauer algebra) of the square of the symmetric group.     

Conjugation in Brauer algebras and applications to character theory

The Brauer algebra has a basis of diagrams and these generate a monoid H consisting of scalar multiples of diagrams. Following a recent paper by Kudryavtseva and Mazorchuk, we define and completely determine three types of conjugation in H. We are thus able to define Brauer characters for Brauer algebras which share many of the properties of Brauer characters defined for finite groups over a field of prime characteristic. Furthermore, we reformulate and extend the theory of characters for Brauer algebras as introduced by Ram to the case when the Brauer algebra is not semisimple.     

Vertex-Compressed Subalgebras of a Graph von Neumann Algebra

In Cho (Acta Appl. Math. 95:95–134, 2007 and Complex Anal. Oper. Theory 1:367–398, 2007), we introduced Graph von Neumann Algebras which are the (groupoid) crossed product algebras of von Neumann algebras and graph groupoids via graph-representations, which are groupoid actions. In Cho (Acta Appl. Math. 95:95–134, 2007), we showed that such crossed product algebras have the amalgamated reduced free probabilistic properties, where the reduction is totally depending on given directed graphs. Moreover, in Cho (Complex Anal. Oper. Theory 1:367–398, 2007), we characterize each amalgamated free blocks of graph von Neumann algebras: we showed that they are characterized by the well-known von Neumann algebras: Classical group crossed product algebras and (operator-valued) matricial algebras. This shows that we can provide a nicer way to investigate such groupoid crossed product algebras, since we only need to concentrate on studying graph groupoids and characterized algebras. How about the compressed subalgebras of them? i.e., how about the inner (cornered) structures of a graph von Neumann algebra? In this paper, we will provides the answer of this question. Consequently, we show that vertex-compressed subalgebras of a graph von Neumann algebra are characterized by other graph von Neumann algebras. This gives the full characterization of the vertex-compressed subalgebras of a graph von Neumann algebra, by other graph von Neumann algebras.     

Commutative Algebras with Radical Cube Zero

Abstract

We present “canonical forms” of finite dimensional (quasi-Frobenius) commutative algebras Λ over a field k such that the radical cubed is zero and Λ modulo the radical is a product of copies of k. We also determine the isomorphism classes of the algebras Λ over some typical fields.     

Socle equivalences of weighted surface algebras

We describe the structure and properties of the finite-dimensional symmetric algebras over an algebraically closed field K which are socle equivalent to the general weighted surface algebras of triangulated surfaces, investigated in [11]. In particular, we prove that all these algebras are tame periodic algebras of period 4. The main results of this paper form an essential step towards a classification of all symmetric tame periodic algebras of period 4.     

Inductions and restrictions on towers of cellularly stratified diagram algebras

Hartmann et al. defined the concept of cellularly stratified algebras that combine the features of both cellular algebras and stratified algebras. Many important diagram algebras in mathematics and physics, such as some Brauer, partition and BMW algebras, are cellularly stratified algebras, and each of these forms a tower of algebras. This article gives the concept of towers of cellularly stratified algebras in an axiomatic manner, and studies it in terms of induction and restriction functors. In particular, for certain towers of cellularly stratified algebras, we provide a criterion for semi-simplicity by using the cohomology groups of cell modules.     

On structures of modular adjacency algebras of Johnson schemes

In this paper, we consider algebras over a field of characteristic p, which are generated by adjacency algebras of Johnson schemes. If the algebra is semisimple, the structure is the same as that of the well-known Bose-Mesner algebras. We determine the structure of the algebra when it is not semisimple.
