Hochschild Cohomology of an Algebra Associated with a Circular Quiver

In this article we show that an algebra A = K Γ/(f(X ^s )) has a periodic projective bimodule resolution of period 2, where KΓ is the path algebra of the circular quiver Γ with s vertices and s arrows over a commutative ring K, f(x) is a monic polynomial over K and X is the sum of all arrows in KΓ. Moreover, by means of this projective bimodule resolution, we compute the Hochschild cohomology group of A, and we give a presentation of the Hochschild cohomology ring HH?(A) by the generators and the relations in the case K is a field.     

Cyclic homology of algebras with one generator

We compute the cyclic homology of A = k[X]/X ⁿ for an arbitrary commutative ring k, and we apply this result to compute the cyclic homology of k[X]/f, when k is a field and f is an arbitrary polynomial.This work was presented at the IX-ELAM, Santigo de Chile, July 1988, and was partially supported by CONICET.The following pepole participated in this research: Jorge A. Guccione, juan José guccione, Maria Julia Redondo, Andrea Solotar, and Orlando E. Villamayor.     

Cyclic Homology of Hopf Comodule Algebras and Hopf Module Coalgebras

Abstract

In this paper we construct a cylindrical module A ? ? for an ?-comodule algebra A, where the antipode of the Hopf algebra ? is bijective. We show that the cyclic module associated to the diagonal of A ? ? is isomorphic with the cyclic module of the crossed product algebra A ? ?. This enables us to derive a spectral sequence for the cyclic homology of the crossed product algebra. We also construct a cocylindrical module for Hopf module coalgebras and establish a similar spectral sequence to compute the cyclic cohomology of crossed product coalgebras.     

The Degree and Regularity of Vanishing Ideals of Algebraic Toric Sets Over Finite Fields

Let X* be a subset of an affine space 𝔸 ^s , over a finite field K, which is parameterized by the edges of a clutter. Let X and Y be the images of X* under the maps x → [x] and x → [(x, 1)], respectively, where [x] and [(x, 1)] are points in the projective spaces ? ^s?1 and ? ^s , respectively. For certain clutters and for connected graphs, we were able to relate the algebraic invariants and properties of the vanishing ideals I(X) and I(Y). In a number of interesting cases, we compute its degree and regularity. For Hamiltonian bipartite graphs, we show the Eisenbud–Goto regularity conjecture. We give optimal bounds for the regularity when the graph is bipartite. It is shown that X* is an affine torus if and only if I(Y) is a complete intersection. We present some applications to coding theory and show some bounds for the minimum distance of parameterized linear codes for connected bipartite graphs.     

Supercentralizing Superderivations on Prime Superalgebras

ABSTRACT

Let A = A ₀ ⊕ A ₁ be an associative superalgebra over a commutative associative ring F, and let Z _s (A) be its supercenter. An F-mapping f of A into itself is called supercentralizing on a subset S of A if [x, f(x)] _s  ∈ Z _s (A) for all x ∈ S. In this article, we prove a version of Posner's theorem for supercentralizing superderivations on prime superalgebras.     

More on the Hochschild and Cyclic Homologies of Crossed Modules of Algebras

We investigate the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of crossed modules of algebras in some special cases. We prove that the cotriple cyclic homology of a crossed module of algebras (I, A, ρ) is isomorphic to HC _*(ρ): HC _*(I) → HC _*(A), provided I is H-unital and the ground ring is a field with characteristic zero. We also calculate the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of a crossed module of algebras (R, 0, 0) for each algebra R with trivial multiplication. At the end, we give some applications proving a new five term exact sequence.     

Commuting Values of Generalized Derivations on Multilinear Polynomials

Let K be a commutative ring with unity, R a prime K-algebra of characteristic different from 2, U the right Utumi quotient ring of R, f(x ₁,…, x _n ) a noncentral multilinear polynomial over K, and G a nonzero generalized derivation of R. Denote f(R) the set of all evaluations of the polynomial f(x ₁,…, x _n ) in R. If [G(u)u, G(v)v] = 0, for any u, v ∈ f(R), we prove that there exists c ∈ U such that G(x) = cx, for all x ∈ R and one of the following holds: 1. f(x ₁,…, x _n )² is central valued on R;

2. R satisfies s ₄, the standard identity of degree 4.

     

Bounded solutions of the Golab—Schinzel equation

Summary. Let \Bbb K {\Bbb K} be either the field of reals or the field of complex numbers, X be an F-space (i.e. a Fréchet space) over \Bbb K {\Bbb K} n be a positive integer, and f : X ? \Bbb K f : X \to {\Bbb K} be a solution of the functional equation¶¶f(x + f(x)ⁿ y) = f(x) f(y) f(x + f(x)^n y) = f(x) f(y) .¶We prove that, if there is a real positive a such that the set { x ? X : |f(x)| ? (0, a)} \{ x \in X : |f(x)| \in (0, a)\} contains a subset of second category and with the Baire property, then f is continuous or { x ? X : |f(x)| ? (0, a)} \{ x \in X : |f(x)| \in (0, a)\} for every x ? X x \in X . As a consequence of this we obtain the following fact: Every Baire measurable solution f : X ? \Bbb K f : X \to {\Bbb K} of the equation is continuous or equal zero almost everywhere (i.e., there is a first category set A ì X A \subset X with f(X \A) = { 0 }) f(X \backslash A) = \{ 0 \}) .     

Numerical Semigroup Rings and Almost Prüfer v-Multiplication Domains

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K, X be an indeterminate over D, Γ be a numerical semigroup with Γ ? ?₀, D[Γ] be the semigroup ring of Γ over D (and hence D ? D[Γ] ? D[X]), and D + X ⁿ K[X] = {a + X ⁿ g∣a ∈ D and g ∈ K[X]}. We show that there exists an order-preserving bijection between Spec(D[X]) and Spec(D[Γ]), which also preserves t-ideals. We also prove that D[Γ] is an APvMD (resp., AGCD-domain) if and only if D[X] is an APvMD (resp., AGCD-domain) and char(D) ≠ 0. We show that if n ≥ 2, then D is an APvMD (resp., AGCD-domain, AGGCD-domain, AP-domain, AB-domain) and char(D) ≠ 0 if and only if D + X ⁿ K[X] is an APvMD (resp., AGCD-domain, AGGCD-domain, AP-domain, AB-domain). Finally, we give some examples of APvMDs which are not AGCD-domains by using the constructions D[Γ] and D + X ⁿ K[X].     

On the Support Problem for Drinfeld Modules

Let Φ be a Drinfeld A-module over an A-field K of generic characteristic. We will prove the following two results which are analogous to ones in number fields. Case 1. Φ is of rank one. Suppose that P and Q are two nontorsion points in Φ(K). If for any element a ? A and almost all prime ideals 𝒫 in  one has that Φ _a (P) ≡ 0 (mod 𝒫) ? Φ _a (Q) ≡ 0 (mod 𝒫), then Q = Φ _m (P) for some m ? A. Case 2. Φ is of general rank ≥ 1. Let x, y ? Φ(K) be two K-rational points. Denote  = End _K (Φ) which is commutative and Λ =  · y which is a cyclic -module. Let red _v :Φ(K) → Φ(k _v ) be the reduction map at a place v of K with residue field k _v . If red _v (x) ? red _v (Λ) for almost all places v of K. Then f(x) = g(y), for some nonzero elements f and g in .     

On the Prime Ideal Structure of Bhargava Rings

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K. A Bhargava ring over D is defined to be 𝔹 _x (D): = {f ∈ K[X] | ? a ∈ D, f(xX + a) ∈ D[X]}, where x ∈ D. A Bhargava ring over D is a subring of the ring of integer-valued polynomials over D. In this article, we study the prime ideal structure and calculate the Krull and valuative dimension of Bhargava rings over a general domain D.     

Almost automorphic solutions to integral equations on the line

Given a∈L ¹(ℝ) and A the generator of an L ¹-integrable family of bounded and linear operators defined on a Banach space X, we prove the existence of almost automorphic solution to the semilinear integral equation u(t)=∫ _−∞ ^t a(t−s)[Au(s)+f(s,u(s))]ds for each f:ℝ×X→X almost automorphic in t, uniformly in x∈X, and satisfying diverse Lipschitz type conditions. In the scalar case, we prove that a∈L ¹(ℝ) positive, nonincreasing and log-convex is already sufficient.     

Vanishing Derivations and Co-Centralizing Generalized Derivations on Multilinear Polynomials in Prime Rings

Let R be a noncommutative prime ring of characteristic different from 2 with Utumi quotient ring U and extended centroid C, and f(x₁,…, x_n) be a multilinear polynomial over C, which is not central valued on R. Suppose that F and G are two generalized derivations of R and d is a nonzero derivation of R such that d(F(f(r))f(r) ? f(r)G(f(r))) = 0 for all r = (r₁,…, r_n) ∈ Rⁿ, then one of the following holds:

1. There exist a, p, q, c ∈ U and λ ∈C such that F(x) = ax + xp + λx, G(x) = px + xq and d(x) = [c, x] for all x ∈ R, with [c, a ? q] = 0 and f(x₁,…, x_n)² is central valued on R;

2. There exists a ∈ U such that F(x) = xa and G(x) = ax for all x ∈ R;

3. There exist a, b, c ∈ U and λ ∈C such that F(x) = λx + xa ? bx, G(x) = ax + xb and d(x) = [c, x] for all x ∈ R, with b + αc ∈ C for some α ∈C;

4. R satisfies s₄ and there exist a, b ∈ U and λ ∈C such that F(x) = λx + xa ? bx and G(x) = ax + xb for all x ∈ R;

5. There exist a′, b, c ∈ U and δ a derivation of R such that F(x) = a′x + xb ? δ(x), G(x) = bx + δ(x) and d(x) = [c, x] for all x ∈ R, with [c, a′] = 0 and f(x₁,…, x_n)² is central valued on R.

     

A GENERALIZATION OF AUSLANDER–BUCHSBAUM AND BASS FORMULAS

Abstract

Given a contravariant functor F : 𝒞 → 𝒮ets for some category 𝒞, we say that F (𝒞) (or F) is generated by a pair (X, x) where X is an object of 𝒞 and x ∈ F(X) if for any object Y of 𝒞 and any y ∈ F(Y), there is a morphism f : Y → X such that F(f)(x) = y. Furthermore, when Y = X and y = x, any f : X → X such that F(f)(x) = x is an automorphism of X, we say that F is minimally generated by (X, x). This paper shows that if the ring R is left noetherian, then there exists a minimal generator for the functor ?xt (?, M) : ? → 𝒮ets, where M is a left R-module and ? is the class (considered as full subcategory of left R-modules) of injective left R-modules.     

On the Hochschild (Co)Homology of Quantum Exterior Algebras

We compute the Hochschild cohomology and homology of the algebra Λ = k 〈x, y〉/(x ², xy + qyx, y ²) with coefficients in ₁ Λ_ψ for every degree preserving k-algebra automorphism ψ : Λ → Λ. As a result we obtain several interesting examples of the homological behavior of Λ as a bimodule.     

On the Cauchy difference on normed spaces

LetX be a real linear normed space, (G, +) be a topological group, andK be a discrete normal subgroup ofG. We prove that if a continuous at a point or measurable (in the sense specified later) functionf:X →G fulfils the condition:f(x +y) -f(x) -f(y) ∈K whenever ‖x‖ = ‖y‖, then, under some additional assumptions onG,K, andX, there esists a continuous additive functionA :X →G such thatf(x) -A(x) ∈K.     

The Brauer group of an affine double plane associated to a hyperelliptic curve

We study the Brauer group of an affine double plane π:X→𝔸² defined by an equation of the form z² = f in two separate cases. In the first case, f is a product of n linear forms in k[x,y] and X is birational to a ruled surface ?¹×C, where C is rational if n is odd and hyperelliptic if n is even. In the second case, f = y²?p(x) is the equation of an affine hyperelliptic curve. For π as well as the unramified part of π, we compute the groups of divisor classes, the Brauer groups, the relative Brauer groups, and all of the terms in the sequences of Galois cohomology.     

Some Maximal Function Fields and Additive Polynomials

We derive explicit equations for the maximal function fields F over 𝔽 _{q ²ⁿ} given by F = 𝔽 _{q ²ⁿ} (X, Y) with the relation A(Y) = f(X), where A(Y) and f(X) are polynomials with coefficients in the finite field 𝔽 _{q ²ⁿ} , and where A(Y) is q-additive and deg(f) = q ⁿ  + 1. We prove in particular that such maximal function fields F are Galois subfields of the Hermitian function field H over 𝔽 _{q ²ⁿ} (i.e., the extension H/F is Galois).     

An Annihilator Condition with Generalized Derivations on Multilinear Polynomials

Let R be a non-commutative prime ring of characteristic different from 2, U its right Utumi quotient ring, C its extended centroid, F a generalized derivation on R, and f(x ₁,…, x _n ) a noncentral multilinear polynomial over C. If there exists a ∈ R such that, for all r ₁,…, r _n  ∈ R, a[F ²(f(r ₁,…, r _n )), f(r ₁,…, r _n )] = 0, then one of the following statements hold: 1. a = 0;

2. There exists λ ∈C such that F(x) = λx, for all x ∈ R;

3. There exists c ∈ U such that F(x) = cx, for all x ∈ R, with c ² ∈ C;

4. There exists c ∈ U such that F(x) = xc, for all x ∈ R, with c ² ∈ C.

     

Varieties of strange plane curves

Abstract

Let A be a commutative ring with identity, let X, Y be indeterminates and let F(X,Y), G(X, Y) ∈ A[X, Y] be homogeneous. Then the pair F(X, Y), G(X, Y) is said to be radical preserving with respect to A if Rad((F(x, y), G(x, y))R) = Rad((x,y)R) for each A-algebra R and each pair of elements x, y in R. It is shown that infinite sequences of pairwise radical preserving polynomials can be obtained by homogenizing cyclotomic polynomials, and that under suitable conditions on a ?-graded ring A these can be used to produce an infinite set of homogeneous prime ideals between two given homogeneous prime ideals P ? Q of A such that ht(Q/P) = 2.
