O. CallS:=(S,·,∩) a d-semigroup ifS satisfies the axioms (A1) (S,·) is a semigroup, (A2) (S,∩) is a semilattice (A3), (S,·,∩) is a semiring, (A4) a ≤b⇒bε aS ∩ Sa. Call tεS positive if ÅaεS: ta ≥a≤at. Let S⁺ denote the set {t‖t positive}. Every d-semigroup is closed under sup and (s,·,∪) is a semiring, (S, ∩, ∪) is a distributive lattice. Denote by D□X the implication s=Xa_i⇒x□s□y=X(x□a_i□y) where □ε{·,∩,∪} and Xε{∪,∩}. CallS continuous ifS satisfies all D□X. The theory of d-semigroups (divisibility-semigroups) was established in [3], [4], [5], and is continued here by some contributions to the theory of continuous d-semigroups the main results of which are the two propositions: (1) LetS be a d-semigroup with 1. ThenS satisfies D□X iffS ⁺ satisfies this axiom. (2) LetS be continuous. Then (S,·) is commutative. Obviously Proposition (2) is an improvement of Iwasawa's theorem concerning conditionally complete lattice ordered groups.

Simple algebras of Weyl type

Over a fieldF of arbitrary characteristic, we define the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type on the same vector spaceA[D] =A⊗F[D] from any pair of a commutative associative algebra,A with an identity element and the polynomial algebraF[D] of a commutative derivation subalgebraD ofA We prove thatA[D], as a Lie algebra (modulo its center) or as an associative algebra, is simple if and only ifA isD-simple andA[D] acts faithfully onA. Thus we obtain a lot of simple algebras. Su, Y., Zhao, K., Second cohornology group of generalized Witt type Lie algebras and certain representations, submitted to publication     

On the dynamics of composite entire functions

Letf andg be nonlinear entire functions. The relations between the dynamics off⊗g andg⊗f are discussed. Denote byℐ (·) andF(·) the Julia and Fatou sets. It is proved that ifz∈C, thenz∈ℐ8464 (f⊗g) if and only ifg(z)∈ℐ8464 (g⊗f); ifU is a component ofF(f○g) andV is the component ofF(g○g) that containsg(U), thenU is wandering if and only ifV is wandering; ifU is periodic, then so isV and moreover,V is of the same type according to the classification of periodic components asU. These results are used to show that certain new classes of entire functions do not have wandering domains.

Morita Equivalence for Factorisable Semigroups

Recall that the semigroups S and R are said to be strongly Morita equivalent if there exists a unitary Morita context (S, R., _S P _R,R Q _S ,〈〉 , ⌈⌉) with 〈〉 and ⌈⌉ surjective. For a factorisable semigroup S, we denote ζ _S = {(s ₁, s ₂) ∈S×S|ss ₁ = ss ₂, ∀s∈S}, S' = S/ζ _S and US-FAct = { _S M∈S− Act |SM = M and SHom _S (S, M) ≅M}. We show that, for factorisable semigroups S and M, the categories US-FAct and UR-FAct are equivalent if and only if the semigroups S' and R' are strongly Morita equivalent. Some conditions for a factorisable semigroups to be strongly Morita equivalent to a sandwich semigroup, local units semigroup, monoid and group separately are also given. Moreover, we show that a semigroup S is completely simple if and only if S is strongly Morita equivalent to a group and for any index set I, S⊗SHom _S (S, ∐ _i∈I S) →∐ _i∈I S, s⊗t·ƒ↦ (st)ƒ is an S-isomorphism.

Bounded BCK‐algebras and their generated variety

In this paper we prove that the equational class generated by bounded BCK‐algebras is the variety generated by the class of finite simple bounded BCK‐algebras. To obtain these results we prove that every simple algebra in the equational class generated by bounded BCK‐algebras is also a relatively simple bounded BCK‐algebra. Moreover, we show that every simple bounded BCK‐algebra can be embedded into a simple integral commutative bounded residuated lattice. We extend our main results to some richer subreducts of the class of integral commutative bounded residuated lattices and to the involutive case. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Simple tensor products

Let ℱ be the category of finite-dimensional representations of an arbitrary quantum affine algebra. We prove that a tensor product S ₁ ⊗⋅⋅⋅⊗ S _N of simple objects of ℱ is simple if and only S _i ⊗ S _j is simple for any i<j.     

An example of a commutative basic algebra which is not an MV-algebra

Many algebras arising in logic have a lattice structure with intervals being equipped with antitone involutions. It has been proved in [CHK1] that these lattices are in a one-to-one correspondence with so-called basic algebras. In the recent papers [BOTUR, M.—HALAŠ, R.: Finite commutative basic algebras are MV-algebras, J. Mult.-Valued Logic Soft Comput. (To appear)]. and [BOTUR, M.—HALAŠ, R.: Complete commutative basic algebras, Order 24 (2007), 89–105] we have proved that every finite commutative basic algebra is an MV-algebra, and that every complete commutative basic algebra is a subdirect product of chains. The paper solves in negative the open question posed in [BOTUR, M.—HALAŠ, R.: Complete commutative basic algebras, Order 24 (2007), 89–105] whether every commutative basic algebra on the interval [0, 1] of the reals has to be an MV-algebra.     

Amenability constants for semilattice algebras

For any finite commutative idempotent semigroup S, a semilattice, we show how to compute the amenability constant of its semigroup algebra ℓ ¹(S). This amenability constant is always of the form 4n+1. We then show that these give lower bounds to amenability constants of certain Banach algebras graded over semilattices. We also give example of a commutative Clifford semigroups G _n whose semigroup algebras ℓ ¹(G _n ) admit amenability constants of the form 41+4(n−1)/n. We also show there is no commutative semigroup whose semigroup algebra has an amenability constant between 5 and 9. N. Spronk’s research was supported by NSERC Grant 312515-05.     

PP-Rings of Generalized Power Series

Abstract As a generalization of power series rings, Ribenboim introduced the notion of the rings of generalized power series. Let R be a commutative ring, and (S, ≤) a strictly totally ordered monoid. We prove that (1) the ring [[R ^S,≤]] of generalized power series is a PP-ring if and only if R is a PP-ring and every S-indexed subset C of B(R) (the set of all idempotents of R) has a least upper bound in B(R) and (2) if (S, ≤) also satisfies the condition that 0 ≤s for any s∈S, then the ring [[R ^S,≤ ]] is weakly PP if and only if R is weakly PP.

Conservative algebras of 2-dimensional algebras,II

In 1990 Kantor defined the conservative algebra W(n) of all algebras (i.e. bilinear maps) on the n-dimensional vector space. If n>1, then the algebra W(n) does not belong to any well-known class of algebras (such as associative, Lie, Jordan, or Leibniz algebras). We describe automorphisms, one-sided ideals, and idempotents of W(2). Also similar problems are solved for the algebra W₂ of all commutative algebras on the 2-dimensional vector space and for the algebra S₂ of all commutative algebras with trace zero multiplication on the 2-dimensional vector space.     

Simple Twisted Group Algebras of Dimension p4 and their Semi-Centers

For a simple twisted group algebra over a group G, if G^∣ is Hall subgroup of G, then the semi-center is simple. Simple twisted group algebras correspond to groups of central type. We classify all groups of central type of order p⁴ where p is prime and use this to show that for odd primes p there exists a unique group G of order p⁴, such that there exists simple twisted group algebra over G with a commutative semi-center. Moreover, if 1 < |G| <64, then the semi-center of simple twisted group algebras over G is noncommutative and this bounds are strict.     

Construction of quotient BCI(BCK)-algebra via a fuzzy ideal

The present paper gives a new construction of a quotient BCI(BCK)-algebraX/μ by a fuzzy ideal μ inX and establishes the Fuzzy Homomorphism Fundamental Theorem. We show that if μ is a fuzzy ideal (closed fuzzy ideal) ofX, thenX/μ is a commutative (resp. positive implicative, implicative) BCK (BCI)-algebra if and only if μ is a fuzzy commutative (resp positive implicative, implicative) ideal ofX. Moreover we prove that a fuzzy ideal of a BCI-algebra is closed if and only if it is a fuzzy subalgebra ofX. We show that if the period of every element in a BCI-algebraX is finite, then any fuzzy ideal ofX is closed. Especially, in a well (resp, finite, associative, quasi-associative, simple) BCI-algebra, any fuzzy ideal must be closed.     

Sur l’annulation du deuxième foncteur de (co)homologie d’André-Quillen

For a given idealI of a commutative ringA, B=A/I, the vanishing of the second André-Quillen (co)homology functorH ₂ (A, B, δ) is characterized in terms of the canonical homomorphism α:S(I)→R(I) from the symmetric algebra of the idealI onto its Rees algebra. This is done by introducing a Koszul complex that characterizes commutative graded algebras which are symmetric algebras.

The semilattice tensor product of projective distributive lattices

Grant A. Fraser defined the semilattice tensor productA ⊗B of distributive latticesA, B and showed that it is a distributive lattice. He proved that ifA ⊗B is projective then so areA andB, that ifA andB are finite and projective thenA ⊗B is projective, and he gave two infinite projective distributive lattices whose semilattice tensor product is not projective. We extend these results by proving that ifA andB are distributive lattices with more than one element thenA ⊗B is projective if and only if bothA andB are projective and both have a greatest element. Presented by W. Taylor.     

α-Inflatable semigroups

For α∈N with α≥2, we define and characterize α-inflatable semigroups,S and establish that the product (βS/S,·)·(βS/S,·) of Stone-Ĉech remainders does not contain the closure of the minimal ideal of (βS,·), the Stone-Ĉech compactification ofS. From this result, one can easily derive Ruppert's result that the minimal ideal of a compact left-topological semigroup is not necessarily closed.

Abelian and Hamiltonian groupoids

In this work, we investigate some groupoids that are Abelian algebras and Hamiltonian algebras. An algebra is Abelian if for every polynomial operation and for all elements a, b, [`(c)] \bar{c} , [`(d)] \bar{d} the implication t( a,[`(c)] ) = t( a,[`(d)] ) T t( b,[`(c)] ) = t( b,[`(d)] ) t\left( {a,\bar{c}} \right) = t\left( {a,\bar{d}} \right) \Rightarrow t\left( {b,\bar{c}} \right) = t\left( {b,\bar{d}} \right) holds. An algebra is Hamiltonian if every subalgebra is a block of some congruence on the algebra. R. J. Warne in 1994 described the structure of the Abelian semigroups. In this work, we describe the Abelian groupoids with identity, the Abelian finite quasigroups, and the Abelian semigroups S such that abS = aS and Sba = Sa for all a, b ∈ S. We prove that a finite Abelian quasigroup is a Hamiltonian algebra. We characterize the Hamiltonian groupoids with identity and semigroups under the condition of Abelianity of these algebras.     

Algebras with bracket

An algebra with bracket is an associative algebra A equipped with a bilinear operation [−,−] satisfying [a · b, c] = [a, c]·b+a · [b, c]. Our main result claims that the operad corresponding to algebras with bracket is Koszul.     

Nilpotent algebras and affinely homogeneous surfaces

To every nilpotent commutative algebra N{\mathcal{N}} of finite dimension over an arbitrary base field of characteristic zero a smooth algebraic subvariety S ì N{S\subset\mathcal{N}} can be associated in a canonical way whose degree is the nil-index and whose codimension is the dimension of the annihilator A{\mathcal{A}} of N{\mathcal{N}}. In case N{\mathcal{N}} admits a grading, the surface S is affinely homogeneous. More can be said if A{\mathcal{A}} has dimension 1, that is, if N{\mathcal{N}} is the maximal ideal of a Gorenstein algebra. In this case two such algebras N{\mathcal{N}}, [(N)\tilde]{\tilde{\mathcal{N}}} are isomorphic if and only if the associated hypersurfaces S, [(S)\tilde]{\tilde S} are affinely equivalent. If one of S, [(S)\tilde]{\tilde S} even is affinely homogeneous, ‘affinely equivalent’ can be replaced by ‘linearly equivalent’. In case the nil-index of N{\mathcal{N}} does not exceed 4 the hypersurface S is always affinely homogeneous. Contrary to the expectation, in case nil-index 5 there exists an example (in dimension 23) where S is not affinely homogeneous.
