Vertex Poisson Algebras Associated with Courant Algebroids

We study relationships between vertex Poisson algebras and Courant algebroids. For any ?-graded vertex Poisson algebra A = ? _n∈? A _(n), we show that A ₍₁₎ is a Courant A ₍₀₎-algebroid. On the other hand, for any Courant 𝒜-algebroid ?, we construct an ?-graded vertex Poisson algebra A = ? _n∈? A _(n) such that A ₍₀₎ is 𝒜 and the Courant 𝒜-algebroid A ₍₁₎ is isomorphic to ? as a Courant 𝒜-algebroid.     

On the Simplicity of Lie Algebras Associated to Leavitt Algebras

For any field 𝕂 and integer n ≥ 2, we consider the Leavitt algebra L _𝕂(n); for any integer d ≥ 1, we form the matrix ring S = M _d (L _𝕂(n)). S is an associative algebra, but we view S as a Lie algebra using the bracket [a, b] = ab ? ba for a, b ∈ S. We denote this Lie algebra as S ^?, and consider its Lie subalgebra [S ^?, S ^?]. In our main result, we show that [S ^?, S ^?] is a simple Lie algebra if and only if char(𝕂) divides n ? 1 and char(𝕂) does not divide d. In particular, when d = 1, we get that [L _𝕂(n)^?, L _𝕂(n)^?] is a simple Lie algebra if and only if char(𝕂) divides n ? 1.     

Commuting Derivations and Automorphisms of Certain Nilpotent Lie Algebras Over Commutative Rings

Let L be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra, L _? be the ?-span of a Chevalley basis of L, and L _R  = R ?_? L _? be a Chevalley algebra of type L over a commutative ring R. Let 𝒩(R) be the nilpotent subalgebra of L _R spanned by the root vectors associated with positive roots. A map ? of 𝒩(R) is called commuting if [?(x), x] = 0 for all x ∈ 𝒩(R). In this article, we prove that under some conditions for R, if Φ is not of type A ₂, then a derivation (resp., an automorphism) of 𝒩(R) is commuting if and only if it is a central derivation (resp., automorphism), and if Φ is of type A ₂, then a derivation (resp., an automorphism) of 𝒩(R) is commuting if and only if it is a sum (resp., a product) of a graded diagonal derivation (resp., automorphism) and a central derivation (resp., automorphism).     

On Derived Equivalences for Selfinjective Algebras

We show that if A is a representation-finite selfinjective Artin algebra, then every P ^? ? K ^b(𝒫 _A ) with Hom _K(Mod?A)(P ^?,P ^?[i]) = 0 for i ≠ 0 and add(P ^?) = add(νP ^?) is a direct summand of a tilting complex, and that if A, B are derived equivalent representation-finite selfinjective Artin algebras, then there exists a sequence of selfinjective Artin algebras A = B ₀, B ₁,…, B _m  = B such that, for any 0 ≤ i < m, B _i+1 is the endomorphism algebra of a tilting complex for B _i of length ≤ 1.     

Hopf-Type Algebras

In this article, we provide an alternative approach to the definition of a weak Hopf algebra (WHA). For an associative unital algebra A with a coassociative comultiplication Δ ∈Alg ^u (A, A ? A), the set of homomorphisms from A to A ? A, which do not preserve the units. If the linear maps Ξ₁, Ξ₂ ∈ End(A ? A), defined by Ξ₁(a ? b) = Δ(a)(1 ? b), Ξ₂(a ? b) = (a ? 1)Δ(b), are von Neumann regular elements in the ring End(A ? A) of endomorphisms of A ? A satisfying some appropriate assumptions, we call the A a Hopf-type algebra. We show the existence of a target, a source, a counit, and an antipode of A as in the usual WHA.     

On Universal Central Extensions of Leibniz Algebras

We construct the endofunctor 𝔲𝔠𝔢 between the category of Leibniz algebras which assigns to a perfect Leibniz algebra its universal central extension, and we obtain the isomorphism 𝔲𝔠𝔢_Lie(𝔮_Lie) ? (𝔲𝔠𝔢_Leib(𝔮))_Lie, where 𝔮 is a perfect Leibniz algebra satisfying the condition [x, [x, y]] + [[x, y], x] = 0, for all x, y ∈ 𝔮. Moreover, we obtain several results concerning the lifting of automorphisms and derivations in a covering. We also study the relationship between the universal central extension of a semidirect product of perfect Leibniz algebras and the semidirect product of the universal central extension of both of them.     

Constructing New Braided T-Categories Over Regular Multiplier Hopf Algebras

Let A be a regular multiplier Hopf algebra, and let Aut(A) denote the set of all isomorphisms α from A to itself that are algebra maps satisfying (Δ ○ α)(a) = (α ? α) ○ Δ(a) for all a ∈ A. Let G be a certain crossed product group Aut(A) × Aut(A). The main purpose of this article is to provide a class of new braided T-categories in the sense of Turaev [\citealp9]. For this, we introduce a class of new categories _A 𝒴𝒟 ^A (α, β) of (α, β)-Yetter–Drinfel'd modules with α, β ∈Aut(A), and we show that the category ?𝒴𝒟(A) = { _A 𝒴𝒟 ^A (α, β)}_{(α, β)∈G} becomes a braided T-category over G, generalizing the main constructions by Panaite and Staic [6 Panaite , F. , Staic , M. D. ( 2007 ). Generalized (anti) Yetter–Drinfel'd modules as components of a braided T-category . Israel J. Math. 158 : 349 – 365 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]].     

Four-Dimensional Real Third-Power Associative Division Algebras

We study third-power associative division algebras A over a field 𝕂 of characteristic different from 2. Those algebras having dimension ≤2 are commutative. When 𝕂 is the field ? of real numbers, those algebras having dimension 4 are power-commutative in each of the following two cases:

1. A contains a central element;

2. A satisfies the additional identity (x, x³, x) = 0.

     

Smash Products of H-Simple Module Algebras

Let H be a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra and A a finite-dimensional H-simple left H-module algebra. We show that the smash product A#H is isomorphic to End _A′(V ? H*), where V ≠ 0 is a finite-dimensional left A-module and (A′, V′) the stabilizer of (A, V). As an application it is proved that A#H is isomorphic to a full matrix algebra over A′ when H is semisimple and dim V|dim A.
