Commutative Subalgebras of Quantum Algebras

In the present paper, a general assertion is proved, claiming that, for every associative algebra $\mathcal{A}$ without zero divisors which admits a valuation and a seminorm concordant with the valuation, the transcendence degree of an arbitrary commutative subalgebra does not exceed the maximal number of independent pairwise pseudocommuting elements of some basis of the algebra $\mathcal{A}$ . The author shows that for such a algebra $\mathcal{A}$ one can take an arbitrary algebra of quantum Laurent polynomials, quantum analogs of the Weyl algebra, and also some universal coacting algebras. In the case of the algebra $\mathcal{L}$ of quantum Laurent polynomials, it is proved that the transcendence degree of a maximal commutative subalgebra of $\mathcal{L}$ coincides with the maximal number of independent pairwise commuting elements of the monomial basis of the algebra $\mathcal{L}$ .     

Hopf Extensions of CM-finite Artin Algebras

Let H be a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra over a field k, and A a left $H\mbox{-}$ module $k\mbox{-}$ algebra. We show that A#H is a CM-finite algebra if and only if A is a CM-finite algebra preserving global dimension of their relative Auslander algebras when A/A ^H is an $H^{*}\mbox{-}$ Galois extension and A#H/A is separable. As application, we describe all the finitely-generated Gorenstein-projective modules over a triangular matrix artin algebra $\Lambda=\left(\begin{smallmatrix} A^{H}& A\\ 0&A\#H \end{smallmatrix}\right)$ , and obtain a criteria for Λ being Gorenstein. We also show that Hopf extensions can induce recollements between categories $A\#H\mbox{-}{\rm Mod}$ and $A^{H}\mbox{-}{\rm Mod}$ .     

A Simultaneous Generalization of Independence and Disjointness in Boolean Algebras

We give a definition of some classes of boolean algebras generalizing free boolean algebras; they satisfy a universal property that certain functions extend to homomorphisms. We give a combinatorial property of generating sets of these algebras, which we call n-independent. The properties of these classes (n-free and ω-free boolean algebras) are investigated. These include connections to hypergraph theory and cardinal invariants on these algebras. Related cardinal functions, $\mathfrak{i}_{n}$ , the minimum size of a maximal n-independent subset and $\mathfrak{i}_{\omega}$ , the minimum size of an ω-independent subset, are introduced and investigated. The values of $\mathfrak {i}_{n}$ and $\mathfrak {i}_{\omega}$ on are shown to be independent of ZFC.     

Matrix Representations of the Low Order Real Clifford Algebras

In this paper we construct the matrix subalgebras ${L_{r,s}(\mathbb{R})}$ of the real matrix algebra ${M_{2^{r+s}} (\mathbb{R})}$ when 2 ≤ r + s ≤ 3 and we show that each ${L_{r,s}(\mathbb{R})}$ is isomorphic to the real Clifford algebra ${\mathcal{C} \ell_{r,s}}$ . In particular, we prove that the algebras ${L_{r,s}(\mathbb{R})}$ can be induced from ${L_{0,n}(\mathbb{R})}$ when 2 ≤ r + s = n ≤ 3 by deforming vector generators of ${L_{0,n}(\mathbb{R})}$ to multiply the specific diagonal matrices. Also, we construct two subalgebras ${T_4(\mathbb{C})}$ and ${T_2(\mathbb{H})}$ of matrix algebras ${M_4(\mathbb{C})}$ and ${M_2(\mathbb{H})}$ , respectively, which are both isomorphic to the Clifford algebra ${\mathcal{C} \ell_{0,3}}$ , and apply them to obtain the properties related to the Clifford group Γ_0,3.     

On the Isomorphism Question for Complete Pick Multiplier Algebras

Every multiplier algebra of an irreducible complete Pick kernel arises as the restriction algebra ${\mathcal{M}_V = \{f \big|_V : f \in \mathcal{M}_d\}}$ , where d is some integer or ${\infty, \mathcal{M}_d}$ is the multiplier algebra of the Drury-Arveson space ${H^2_d}$ , and V is a subvariety of the unit ball. For finite dimensional d it is known that, under mild assumptions, every isomorphism between two such algebras ${\mathcal{M}_V}$ and ${\mathcal{M}_W}$ is induced by a biholomorphism between W and V. In this paper we consider the converse, and obtain positive results in two directions. The first deals with the case where V is the proper image of a finite Riemann surface. The second deals with the case where V is a disjoint union of varieties.     

Representations of the Restricted Lie Color Algebras

Let $ \mathfrak{g} $ be a restricted Lie color algebra. We define the p-character χ and study the χ-reduced enveloping algebras. We define the reductive Lie color algebras and FP triples, and study the representations associated with FP triples. As an application, we prove an analogue of the Kac-Weisfeiler theorem and determine the simplicity of the baby Verma module for the general linear Lie color algebra $ \mathfrak{g}= {\rm{gl}} (V)$ .     

Algebras of Convolution Type Operators with Piecewise Slowly Oscillating Data. I: Local and Structural Study

Let ${\mathcal{B}_{p,w}}$ be the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on the weighted Lebesgue space ${L^{p}(\mathbb{R}, w)}$ , where ${p \in (1, \infty)}$ and w is a Muckenhoupt weight. We study the Banach subalgebra ${\mathfrak{A}_{p,w}}$ of ${\mathcal{B}_{p,w}}$ generated by all multiplication operators aI ( ${a \in PSO^{\diamond}}$ ) and all convolution operators W ⁰(b) ( ${b \in PSO_{p,w}^{\diamond}}$ ), where ${PSO^{\diamond} \subset L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R})}$ and ${PSO_{p,w}^{\diamond} \subset M_{p,w}}$ are algebras of piecewise slowly oscillating functions that admit piecewise slowly oscillating discontinuities at arbitrary points of ${\mathbb{R} \cup \{\infty\}}$ , and M _p,w is the Banach algebra of Fourier multipliers on ${L^{p}(\mathbb{R}, w)}$ . Under some conditions on the Muckenhoupt weight w, we construct a Fredholm symbol calculus for the Banach algebra ${\mathfrak{A}_{p,w}}$ and establish a Fredholm criterion for the operators ${A \in \mathfrak{A}_{p,w}}$ in terms of their Fredholm symbols. To study the Banach algebra ${\mathfrak{A}_{p,w}}$ we apply the theory of Mellin pseudodifferential operators, the Allan–Douglas local principle, the two idempotents theorem and the method of limit operators. The paper is divided in two parts. The first part deals with the local study of ${\mathfrak{A}_{p,w}}$ and necessary tools for studying local algebras.     

On Artin Algebras Arising from Morita Contexts

We study Morita rings \(\Lambda _{(\phi ,\psi )}=\left (\begin {array}{cc}A &_{A}N_{B} \\ _{B}M_{A} & B \end {array}\right )\) in the context of Artin algebras from various perspectives. First we study covariantly finite, contravariantly finite, and functorially finite subcategories of the module category of a Morita ring when the bimodule homomorphisms \(\phi \) and \(\psi \) are zero. Further we give bounds for the global dimension of a Morita ring \(\Lambda _{(0,0)}\) , as an Artin algebra, in terms of the global dimensions of A and B in the case when both \(\phi \) and \(\psi \) are zero. We illustrate our bounds with some examples. Finally we investigate when a Morita ring is a Gorenstein Artin algebra and then we determine all the Gorenstein-projective modules over the Morita ring \(\Lambda _{\phi ,\psi }\) in case \(A=N=M=B\) and A an Artin algebra.     

Some Integral Representation for Meta-Monogenic Function in Clifford Algebras Depending on Parameters

In recent years, the integral representation problems have been studied in many context and generalities. For example, for the monogenic and meta functions in some Clifford type algebras, see [10, 11]. In this paper we construct a Cauchy-Pompeiu type formula for meta-monogenic operator of order ${n, (D-\lambda)^n, \lambda \in \mathbb{R}}$ , and its conjugate ${(\overline{D} - \lambda)^n}$ in a Clifford algebra depending on parameters ${\mathcal{A}_n(2, \alpha_j, \gamma_{ij})}$ . Using these explicit representation formula of Cauchy-Pompeiu type we will show some applications.     

Maximal Abelian Dimensions in Some Families of Nilpotent Lie Algebras

This paper deals with the maximal abelian dimension of a Lie algebra, that is, the maximal value for the dimensions of its abelian Lie subalgebras. Indeed, we compute the maximal abelian dimension for every nilpotent Lie algebra of dimension less than 7 and for the Heisenberg algebra $\mathfrak{H}_k$ , with $k\in\mathbb{N}$ . In this way, an algorithmic procedure is introduced and applied to compute the maximal abelian dimension for any arbitrary nilpotent Lie algebra with an arbitrary dimension. The maximal abelian dimension is also given for some general families of nilpotent Lie algebras.     

Algebras of Convolution Type Operators with Piecewise Slowly Oscillating Data. II: Local Spectra and Fredholmness

Let ${\mathcal{B}_{p,w}}$ be the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on the weighted Lebesgue space ${L^p(\mathbb{R},w)}$ , where ${p\in(1,\infty)}$ and w is a Muckenhoupt weight. We study the Banach subalgebra ${\mathfrak{U}_{p,w}}$ of ${\mathcal{B}_{p,w}}$ generated by all multiplication operators aI ( ${a\in PSO^\diamond}$ ) and all convolution operators W ⁰(b) ( ${b\in PSO_{p,w}^\diamond}$ ), where ${PSO^\diamond\subset L^\infty(\mathbb{R})}$ and ${PSO_{p,w}^\diamond\subset M_{p,w}}$ are algebras of piecewise slowly oscillating functions that admit piecewise slowly oscillating discontinuities at arbitrary points of ${\mathbb{R}\cup\{\infty\}}$ , and M _p,w is the Banach algebra of Fourier multipliers on ${L^p(\mathbb{R},w)}$ . Under some conditions on the Muckenhoupt weight w, using results of the local study of ${\mathfrak{U}_{p,w}}$ obtained in the first part of the paper and applying the theory of Mellin pseudodifferential operators and the two idempotents theorem, we now construct a Fredholm symbol calculus for the Banach algebra ${\mathfrak{U}_{p,w}}$ and establish a Fredholm criterion for the operators ${A\in\mathfrak{U}_{p,w}}$ in terms of their Fredholm symbols. In four partial cases we obtain for ${\mathfrak{U}_{p,w}}$ more effective results.     

Explicit conformally constrained Willmore minimizers in arbitrary codimension

In our previous work (Ndiaye and Schätzle, 2014), we proved that the flat constant mean curvature tori $$\begin{aligned} T_r := r S^1 \times \sqrt{1 - r^2} S^1 \subseteq S^3 \quad \hbox {for } 0 < r \le 1/\sqrt{2} \end{aligned}$$ minimize the Willmore energy in their conformal class in codimension one when \(r \approx 1 / \sqrt{2}\) , that is \(T_r\) is close to the Clifford torus \(T_{Cliff} = T_{1/\sqrt{2}}\) . In this article, we extend this to arbitrary codimension. Moreover we prove that the Clifford torus minimizes the Willmore energy in an open neighbourhood of its conformal class, again in arbitrary codimension, but the neighbourhood may depend on the codimension.     

The Algebra of {{\mathbf{SL}}_3}\left( \mathbb{C} \right) Conformal Blocks

We construct and study a family of toric degenerations of the Cox ring of the moduli of quasi-parabolic principal SL₃( $ \mathbb{C} $ ) bundles on a smooth, marked curve (C, $ \vec{p} $ ): Elements of this algebra have a well known interpretation as conformal blocks, from the Wess-Zumino-Witten model of conformal field theory. For the genus 0; 1 cases we find the level of conformal blocks necessary to generate the algebra. In the genus 0 case we also find bounds on the degrees of relations required to present the algebra. As a consequence we obtain a toric degeneration for the projective coordinate ring of an effective divisor on the moduli $ {{\mathcal{M}}_{{C,\vec{p}}}}\left( {\mathrm{S}{{\mathrm{L}}_3}\left( \mathbb{C} \right)} \right) $ of quasi-parabolic principal SL₃( $ \mathbb{C} $ ) bundles on (C, $ \vec{p} $ ). Along the way we recover positive polyhedral rules for counting conformal blocks.     

Pseudocompact Algebras and Highest Weight Categories

We develop a new approach to highest weight categories $\cal{C}$ with good (and cogood) posets of weights via pseudocompact algebras by introducing ascending (and descending) quasi-hereditary pseudocompact algebras. For $\cal{C}$ admitting a Chevalley duality, we define and investigate tilting modules and Ringel duals of the corresponding pseudocompact algebras. Finally, we illustrate all these concepts on an explicit example of the general linear supergroup GL(1|1).     

Hall Polynomials and Composition Algebra of Representation Finite Algebras

Let \(\mathcal{A}\) be a representation finite algebra over finite field k such that the indecomposable \(\mathcal{A}\) -modules are determined by their dimension vectors and for each \(M, L \in ind(\mathcal{A})\) and \(N\in mod(\mathcal{A})\) , either \(F^{M}_{N L}=0\) or \(F^{M}_{L N}=0\) . We show that \(\mathcal{A}\) has Hall polynomials and the rational extension of its Ringel–Hall algebra equals the rational extension of its composition algebra. This result extend and unify some known results about Hall polynomials. As a consequence we show that if \(\mathcal{A}\) is a representation finite simply-connected algebra, or finite dimensional k-algebra such that there are no short cycles in \(mod(\mathcal{A})\) , or representation finite cluster tilted algebra, then \(\mathcal{A}\) has Hall polynomials and \(\mathcal{H}(\mathcal{A})\otimes_\mathbb{Z}Q=\mathcal{C}(\mathcal{A})\otimes_\mathbb{Z}Q\) .     

On Homotopes of Novikov Algebras

Given a unital associative commutative ring Φ containing $\frac{1}{2}$ , we consider a homotope of a Novikov algebra, i.e., an algebra $A_\varphi $ that is obtained from a Novikov algebra A by means of the derived operation $x \cdot y = xy\varphi $ on the Φ-module A, where the mapping ? satisfies the equality $xy\varphi = x(y\varphi )$ . We find conditions for a homotope of a Novikov algebra to be again a Novikov algebra.     

Explicit Matrix Realization of Clifford Algebras

In this paper, we construct associative subalgebras ${{L_{2}}{n}(\mathbb{R})}$ of the real ${2^{n} \times 2^{n}}$ matrix algebra ${{M_{2}}{n}(\mathbb{R})}$ , which is isomorphic to the real Clifford algebra ${C \ell_{0},n}$ for every ${n \in N}$ .
