Greedy elements in rank 2 cluster algebras

A lot of recent activity in the theory of cluster algebras has been directed toward various constructions of “natural” bases in them. One of the approaches to this problem was developed several years ago by Sherman and Zelevinsky who have shown that the indecomposable positive elements form an integer basis in any rank 2 cluster algebra of finite or affine type. It is strongly suspected (but not proved) that this property does not extend beyond affine types. Here, we go around this difficulty by constructing a new basis in any rank 2 cluster algebra that we call the greedy basis. It consists of a special family of indecomposable positive elements that we call greedy elements. Inspired by a recent work of Lee and Schiffler; Rupel, we give explicit combinatorial expressions for greedy elements using the language of Dyck paths.     

Graded quantum cluster algebras of infinite rank as colimits

We provide a graded and quantum version of the category of rooted cluster algebras introduced by Assem, Dupont and Schiffler and show that every graded quantum cluster algebra of infinite rank can be written as a colimit of graded quantum cluster algebras of finite rank.As an application, for each k we construct a graded quantum infinite Grassmannian admitting a cluster algebra structure, extending an earlier construction of the authors for $k=2$.     

Noetherianness of wreath products of Abelian Lie algebras with respect to equations of universal enveloping algebra

It is proved that a wreath product of two Abelian finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero is Noetherian w.r.t. equations of a universal enveloping algebra. This implies that an index 2 soluble free Lie algebra of finite rank, too, has this property.

We construct bar-invariant ℤ[q ^±1/2]-bases of the quantum cluster algebra of the valued quiver A ₂⁽²⁾, one of which coincides with the quantum analogue of the basis of the corresponding cluster algebra discussed in P.

On Homomorphisms from Ringel-Hall Algebras to Quantum Cluster Algebras

In Berenstein and Rupel (2015), the authors defined algebra homomorphisms from the dual Ringel-Hall algebra of certain hereditary abelian category \(\mathcal {A}\) to an appropriate q-polynomial algebra. In the case that \(\mathcal {A}\) is the representation category of an acyclic quiver, we give an alternative proof by using the cluster multiplication formulas in (Ding and Xu, Sci. China Math. 55(10) 2045–2066, 2012). Moreover, if the underlying graph of Q associated with \(\mathcal {A}\) is bipartite and the matrix B associated to the quiver Q is of full rank, we show that the image of the algebra homomorphism is in the corresponding quantum cluster algebra.     

A new class of Kadison-Singer algebras

We show that the projection lattice generated by a maximal nest and a rank one projection in a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is in general reflexive. Moreover we show that the corresponding reflexive algebra has a maximal triangular property, equivalently, it is a Kadison-Singer algebra. Similar results are also obtained for the lattice generated by a finite nest and a projection in a finite factor.     

On identities of right alternative metabelian Grassmann algebras

The right alternative metabelian (solvable of index 2) Grassmann algebras of rank 1 and 2 are studied. A basis of identities of a right alternative metabelian Grassmann algebra of rank 1 is presented. Then it is proved that the variety generated by the indicated algebra has almost finite topological rank. It is also shown that the variety generated by a Grassmann algebra of rank 2 is not Spechtian. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 13, No. 2, pp. 157–183, 2007.     

Reflection groupoids of rank two and cluster algebras of type A

We extend the classification of finite Weyl groupoids of rank two. Then we generalize these Weyl groupoids to ‘reflection groupoids’ by admitting non-integral entries of the Cartan matrices. This leads to the unexpected observation that the spectrum of the cluster algebra of type An−3 completely describes the set of finite reflection groupoids of rank two with 2n objects.     

Hochschild Cohomology and the Derived Class of m-Cluster Tilted Algebras of Type \mathbb{A}

In this paper, we characterize all the finite dimensional algebras that are derived equivalent to an m?cluster tilted algebra of type $\mathbb{A}$ . These algebras are gentle, and we show that the derived class of such an algebra is completely determined by the rank of its Grothendieck group and the dimension of its first Hochschild cohomology group.     

Koszulness,Krull dimension,and other properties of graph-related algebras

The algebra of basic covers of a graph G, denoted by [`(A)](G)\bar{A}(G), was introduced by Herzog as a suitable quotient of the vertex cover algebra. In this paper we compute the Krull dimension of [`(A)](G)\bar{A}(G) in terms of the combinatorics of G. As a consequence, we get new upper bounds on the arithmetical rank of monomial ideals of pure codimension 2. Furthermore, we show that if the graph is bipartite, then [`(A)](G)\bar{A}(G) is a homogeneous algebra with straightening laws, and thus it is Koszul. Finally, we characterize the Cohen–Macaulay property and the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the edge ideal of a certain class of graphs.

THE TRIANGULAR MODEL OF SEMI-SIMPLE L~*-ALGEBRA OF H-S OPERATORS

In this paper,some properties of semi-simple L-algebras are considered.At first,applying Cartan decomposition,the author constructs a family of nilpotentsubalgebras in a semi-simple L-algebra and proves that whole algebra can be spanned bythese subalgebras,their conjugations and Cartan subalgebras.Then,the author proves that every nonzero root vector of semi-simple L-algebra ofH-S operators is a finite rank operator and presents the triangular model of the algebra.Finally,non-Voltera property of the algebra is shown.     

Congruence preserving functions of Wilke’s tree algebras

As a framework for characterizing families of regular languages of binary trees, Wilke introduced a formalism for defining binary trees that uses six many-sorted operations involving letters, trees and contexts. In this paper a completeness property of these operations is studied. It is shown that all functions involving letters, binary trees and binary contexts which preserve congruence relations of the free tree algebra over an alphabet, are generated by Wilke’s functions, if the alphabet contains at least seven letters. That is to say, the free tree algebra over an alphabet with at least seven letters is affine-complete. The proof yields also a version of the theorem for ordinary one-sorted term algebras: congruence preserving functions on contexts and members of a term algebra are substitution functions, provided that the signature consists of constant and binary function symbols only, and contains at least seven symbols of each rank. Moreover, term algebras over signatures with at least seven constant symbols are affine-complete.Received March 18, 2004; accepted in final form October 8, 2004.     

Limits of rank 4 Azumaya algebras and applications to desingularization

It is shown that the schematic image of the scheme of Azumaya algebra structures on a vector bundle of rank 4 over any base scheme is separated, of finite type, smooth of relative dimension 13 and geometrically irreducible over that base and that this construction base-changes well. This fully generalizes Seshadri’s theorem in [16] that the variety of specializations of (2 x 2)-matrix algebras is smooth in characteristic ≠ 2. As an application, a construction of Seshadri in [16] is shown in a characteristic-free way to desingularize the moduli space of rank 2 even degree semi-stable vector bundles on a complete curve. As another application, a construction of Nori over ℤ (Appendix, [16]) is extended to the case of a normal domain which is a universally Japanese (Nagata) ring and is shown to desingularize the Artin moduli space [1] of invariants of several matrices in rank 2. This desingularization is shown to have a good specialization property if the Artin moduli space has geometrically reduced fibers — for example this happens over ℤ. Essential use is made of Kneser’s concept [8] of ‘semi-regular quadratic module’. For any free quadratic module of odd rank, a formula linking the half-discriminant and the values of the quadratic form on its radical is derived.     

The primitive ideals of the Cuntz–Krieger algebra of a row-finite higher-rank graph with no sources

We catalogue the primitive ideals of the Cuntz–Krieger algebra of a row-finite higher-rank graph with no sources. Each maximal tail in the vertex set has an abelian periodicity group of finite rank at most that of the graph; the primitive ideals in the Cuntz–Krieger algebra are indexed by pairs consisting of a maximal tail and a character of its periodicity group. The Cuntz–Krieger algebra is primitive if and only if the whole vertex set is a maximal tail and the graph is aperiodic.     

Similarity implies homotopy of idempotents in Banach algebras of stable rank one

We establish the property stated in the title by means of an elementary construction: in a Banach algebra of stable rank one, any two similar idempotents can be connected by a piecewise affine path of idempotents consisting of at most 3 affine steps. Received: 1 February 2006     

Test elements for monomorphisms of free lie algebras and lie superalgebras †

A test criterion for an endomorphism φ of the free Lie (super) algebra L of finite rank to be an automorphism is obtained: φ is an automorphism of L if and only if for an element u ∈ L with the maximal rank the element φ(u) belongs to the orbit of u with respect to the automorphism group of L. In particular, test elements for monomorphisms of L are exactly the elements of the maximal rank     

On Frobenius algebras and the quantum Yang-Baxter equation

It is shown that every Frobenius algebra over a commutative ring determines a class of solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation, which forms a subbimodule of its tensor square. Moreover, this subbimodule is free of rank one as a left (right) submodule. An explicit form of a generator is given in terms of the Frobenius homomorphism. It turns out that the generator is invertible in the tensor square if and only if the algebra is Azumaya.

     

From triangulated categories to cluster algebras II

In the acyclic case, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the tilting objects of the cluster category and the clusters of the associated cluster algebra. This correspondence enables us to solve conjectures on cluster algebras. We prove a multiplicativity theorem, a denominator theorem, and some conjectures on properties of the mutation graph. As in the previous article, the proofs rely on the Calabi-Yau property of the cluster category.
