The Quiver of an Algebra Associated to the Mantaci-Reutenauer Descent Algebra and the Homology of Regular Semigroups

We develop the homology theory of the algebra of a regular semigroup, which is a particularly nice case of a quasi-hereditary algebra in good characteristic. Directedness is characterized for these algebras, generalizing the case of semisimple algebras studied by Munn and Ponizovksy. We then apply homological methods to compute (modulo group theory) the quiver of a right regular band of groups, generalizing Saliola’s results for a right regular band. Right regular bands of groups come up in the representation theory of wreath products with symmetric groups in much the same way that right regular bands appear in the representation theory of finite Coxeter groups via the Solomon-Tits algebra of its Coxeter complex. In particular, we compute the quiver of Hsiao’s algebra, which is related to the Mantaci-Reutenauer descent algebra.     

Construction of the syzygy module in automaton monomial algebras

In this paper, we consider the problem of algorithmically constructing the left syzygy module for a finite system of elements in an automaton monomial algebra. The class of automaton monomial algebras includes free associative algebras and finitely presented algebras. In such algebras the left syzygy module for a finite system of elements is finitely generated. In general, the left syzygy module in an automaton monomial algebra is not finitely generated. Nevertheless, the generators of the left syzygy module have a recursive specification with the help of regular sets. This allows one to solve many algorithmic problems in automaton monomial algebras. For example, one can solve linear equations, recognize the membership in a left ideal, and recognize zero-divisors. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 11, No. 2, pp. 101–113, 2005.     

Generalising Group Algebras

We generalise group algebras to other algebraic objects withbounded Hilbert space representation theory; the generalisedgroup algebras are called ‘host’ algebras. The mainproperty of a host algebra is that its representation theoryshould be isomorphic (in the sense of the Gelfand–Raikovtheorem) to a specified subset of representations of the algebraicobject. Here we obtain both existence and uniqueness theoremsfor host algebras as well as general structure theorems forhost algebras. Abstractly, this solves the question of whena set of Hilbert space representations is isomorphic to therepresentation theory of a C*-algebra. To make contact withharmonic analysis, we consider general convolution algebrasassociated to representation sets, and consider conditions fora convolution algebra to be a host algebra.     

Recognition of certain properties of automaton algebras

Abstract. The paper considers a new algebraic object, the completely automaton binomial algebras, which generalize certain existing classes of algebras. The author presents a classification of semigroup algebras taking into account completely automaton algebras and gives the corresponding examples. A number of standard algorithmic problems are solved for completely automaton binomial algebras: the recognition of a strict and nonstrict polynomial property, the recognition of the right and/or left finite processing, and the construction of the determining regular language for an algebra with finite processing and for monomial subalgebras of a free associative algebra and certain completely automaton algebras. For an automaton monomial algebra, the author constructs the left syzygy module of a finite system of elements and the Gröbner basis of a finitely generated left ideal; also, some algorithmic problems are solved.     

Based algebras and standard bases for quasi-hereditary algebras

Quasi-hereditary algebras can be viewed as a Lie theory approach to the theory of finite dimensional algebras. Motivated by the existence of certain nice bases for representations of semisimple Lie algebras and algebraic groups, we will construct in this paper nice bases for (split) quasi-hereditary algebras and characterize them using these bases. We first introduce the notion of a standardly based algebra, which is a generalized version of a cellular algebra introduced by Graham and Lehrer, and discuss their representation theory. The main result is that an algebra over a commutative local noetherian ring with finite rank is split quasi-hereditary if and only if it is standardly full-based. As an application, we will give an elementary proof of the fact that split symmetric algebras are not quasi-hereditary unless they are semisimple. Finally, some relations between standardly based algebras and cellular algebras are also discussed.     

Cayley-like representations are for all algebras, not merely groups

Cayley 's Theorem represents an arbitrary group as a set of permutations with the group operation captured by the composition of permutations. A few other examples with related representations are monoids, Boolean algebras and Menger algebras, permutations now being replaced by functions with one or more arguments. Although Cayley-like representations appear to be rare, this article shows that they are not. The idea is to represent the elements of an arbitrary algebra by multivariable functions, and its operations by particular compositions of these functions. Any finite algebra can be so represented,and so can any variety generated by one finite subdirectly irreducible algebra. It will follow that these varieties are Cayley-like: semilattices, distributive lattices, median algebras, elementary Abelian p -groups (for fixed p), and those generated by a primal algebra. If the definition of Cayley-like is stretched to allow the representing functions to have an infinite number of arguments, then all algebras are Cayley-like.     

Affine cellular algebras

Graham and Lehrer have defined cellular algebras and developed a theory that allows in particular to classify simple representations of finite dimensional cellular algebras. Many classes of finite dimensional algebras, including various Hecke algebras and diagram algebras, have been shown to be cellular, and the theory due to Graham and Lehrer successfully has been applied to these algebras.We will extend the framework of cellular algebras to algebras that need not be finite dimensional over a field. Affine Hecke algebras of type A and infinite dimensional diagram algebras like the affine Temperley–Lieb algebras are shown to be examples of our definition. The isomorphism classes of simple representations of affine cellular algebras are shown to be parameterised by the complement of finitely many subvarieties in a finite disjoint union of affine varieties. In this way, representation theory of non-commutative algebras is linked with commutative algebra. Moreover, conditions on the cell chain are identified that force the algebra to have finite global cohomological dimension and its derived category to admit a stratification; these conditions are shown to be satisfied for the affine Hecke algebra of type A if the quantum parameter is not a root of the Poincaré polynomial.     

Artin-Schelter regular algebras and categories

Motivated by constructions in the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras we generalize the notion of Artin-Schelter regular algebras of dimension n to algebras and categories to include Auslander algebras and a graded analogue for infinite representation type. A generalized Artin-Schelter regular algebra or a category of dimension n is shown to have common properties with the classical Artin-Schelter regular algebras. In particular, when they admit a duality, then they satisfy Serre duality formulas and the -category of nice sets of simple objects of maximal projective dimension n is a finite length Frobenius category.     

Characteristic Formulas of Partial Heyting Algebras

The goal of this paper is to generalize a notion of characteristic (or Jankov) formula by using finite partial Heyting algebras instead of the finite subdirectly irreducible algebras: with every finite partial Heyting algebra we associate a characteristic formula, and we study the properties of these formulas. We prove that any intermediate logic can be axiomatized by such formulas. We further discuss the correlations between characteristic formulas of finite partial algebras and canonical formulas. Then with every well-connected Heyting algebra we associate a set of characteristic formulas that correspond to each finite relative subalgebra of this algebra. Finally, we demonstrate that in many respects these sets enjoy the same properties as regular characteristic formulas. In the last section we outline an approach how to generalize these obtained results to the broad classes of algebras.     

The Hecke group algebra of a Coxeter group and its representation theory

Let W be a finite Coxeter group. We define its Hecke-group algebra by gluing together appropriately its group algebra and its 0-Hecke algebra. We describe in detail this algebra (dimension, several bases, conjectural presentation, combinatorial construction of simple and indecomposable projective modules, Cartan map) and give several alternative equivalent definitions (as symmetry preserving operator algebra, as poset algebra, as commutant algebra, …).In type A, the Hecke-group algebra can be described as the algebra generated simultaneously by the elementary transpositions and the elementary sorting operators acting on permutations. It turns out to be closely related to the monoid algebras of respectively nondecreasing functions and nondecreasing parking functions, the representation theory of which we describe as well.This defines three towers of algebras, and we give explicitly the Grothendieck algebras and coalgebras given respectively by their induction products and their restriction coproducts. This yields some new interpretations of the classical bases of quasi-symmetric and noncommutative symmetric functions as well as some new bases.     

Symbolic powers of monomial ideals and vertex cover algebras

We introduce and study vertex cover algebras of weighted simplicial complexes. These algebras are special classes of symbolic Rees algebras. We show that symbolic Rees algebras of monomial ideals are finitely generated and that such an algebra is normal and Cohen-Macaulay if the monomial ideal is squarefree. For a simple graph, the vertex cover algebra is generated by elements of degree 2, and it is standard graded if and only if the graph is bipartite. We also give a general upper bound for the maximal degree of the generators of vertex cover algebras.     

B-Construction and C-Construction

B-construction is a way of obtaining a graded algebra from the triple consisting of an additive category, an object, and an autoequivalence, while C-construction is a way of obtaining an algebra (without unity) from the pair consisting of an additive category and a set of objects. In this article, we study and compare three important classes of algebras in noncommutative algebraic geometry and representation theory of finite dimensional algebras, namely, quantum polynomial algebras, preprojetive algebras and trivial extensions, via these constructions.     

Primitivity of finitely presented monomial algebras

We study prime monomial algebras. Our main result is that a prime finitely presented monomial algebra is either primitive or it has GK dimension one and satisfies a polynomial identity. More generally, we show that this result holds for the class of automaton algebras; that is, monomial algebras that have a basis consisting of the set of words recognized by some finite state automaton. This proves a special case of a conjecture of the first author and Agata Smoktunowicz.     

Factorisations des extensions galoisiennes

ABSTRACT

In general, Clifford algebras of quadratic forms are finite dimensional; therefore, their representations are easy to describe. However, for homogenous polynomial forms of degree dbm > 2, the situation is different because their Clifford algebras are infinite dimensional. In this article, we get a finite set of pairwise orthogonal idempotents of sum 1 in these algebras. This permits us to obtain interesting properties for d-dimensional representations of polynomial forms of degree d; for example, we show that the image C of the Clifford algebra by such representation is an endomorphism algebra of finitely generated projective Z(C)-module of d-rank, direct sum of finitely generated projective Z(C)-module of 1-rank. Before establishing this, we give a new proof of the Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt theorem for these algebras with the help of a general composition lemma. At the end of this work, we give a linearization of diagonal binary and ternary forms of degree dbm > 3.     

Representations of centrally-extended Lie algebras over differential operators and vertex algebras

We construct irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras over left ideals of the algebra of differential operators on the circle, through certain irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras of infinite matrices with finite number of nonzero entries. The structures of vertex algebras associated with the vacuum representations of these algebras are determined. Moreover, we prove that under certain conditions, the highest-weight irreducible modules of centrally-extended classical Lie algebras of infinite matrices with finite number of nonzero entries naturally give rise to the irreducible modules of the simple quotients of these vertex algebras. From vertex algebra and its representation point of view, our results with positive integral central charge are high-order differential operator analogues of the well-known WZW models in conformal field theory associated with affine Kac-Moody algebras. Indeed, when the left ideals are the algebra of differential operators, our Lie algebras do contain affine Kac-Moody algebras as subalgebras and our results restricted on them are exactly the representation contents in WZW models. Similar results with negative central charge are also obtained.

L-fuzzy代数的刻画

鉴于[2]中已有fuzzy代数结合的不理想，谷文祥和卢荼在L－fuzzy集论中重新定义了L－fuzzy代数，得到了一些理想的结论。但却没有给出它的截集式刻画。本文的目的就是借助于L－fuzzy集的几种水平截集给出了它的几个等价刻画，使得它的表现更为直观且更便于应用。最后，作为应用，本文简洁地证明了L－fuzzy代数在代数同态下是不变的和逆不变的。     

Pullback Moduli Spaces

Geometric invariant theory can be used to construct moduli spaces associated to representations of finite dimensional algebras. One difficulty which occurs in various natural cases is that nonisomorphic modules are sent to the same point in the moduli spaces which arise. In this article, we study how this collapsing phenomenon can sometimes be reduced by considering pullbacks of modules for an auxiliary algebra. One application is a geometric proof that the twisting action of an algebra automorphism induces an algebraic isomorphism between moduli spaces.     

Prime and primitive algebras with prescribed growth types

Bartholdi and Smoktunowicz constructed in 2014 finitely generated monomial algebras with prescribed sufficiently fast growth types. We show that their construction need not result in a prime algebra, but it can be modified to provide prime algebras without further limitations on the growth type.Moreover, using a construction of an inverse system of monomial ideals which arise from this construction, we are able to further construct finitely generated primitive algebras without further limitations on the growth type.Then, inspired by Zelmanov’s example in 1979, we show how our prime algebras can be constructed such that they contain non-zero locally nilpotent ideals; this is the very opposite of the primitive constructions.
