Universal ZN-graded differential calculus

We investigate the propeties of differential algebras generated by an operator d satisfying the property d^N = 0 instead of d² = 0 as in the usual case. Several examples of realizations of such differential algebras are given, either in the context of Z_N-graded N × N matrix algebras, or as a generalized differential calculus on manifolds.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Schur Subalgebras

In Fayers and Martin [J. Algebra 240 (2001), 859–873], the author and Martin constructed embeddings of Schur algebras S(2,r)↪S(2,R). Here, we generalise to the q-Schur algebras S_q(2,r). Presented by A. Verschoren Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 20G05, 20C33.     

States and Structure of von Neumann Algebras

We summarize and deepen recent results on the interplay between properties of states and the structure of von Neumann algebras. We treat Jauch–Piron states and the concept of independence in noncommutative probability theory.     

R-Matrices for Leibniz Algebras

Leibniz agebras are a generalization of Lie algebras, where no symmetry properties of the bracket are required. In this Letter we introduce a notion of R-matrices for this structure and the related Yang–Baxter equations, and discuss some of their basic properties.     

Bohr's inequality for uniform algebras

We prove a uniform algebra analogue of a classical inequality of Bohr's concerning Fourier coefficients of bounded holomorphic functions. The classical inequality follows trivially.

     

Finite-Dimensional Simple Leibniz Pairs and Simple Poisson Modules

Simple modules over the Leibniz pairs are studied. Simple Poisson modules over Poisson algebras of the semisimple associative algebra structure are determined and they are nothing but simple bimodules over simple associative algebras with standard noncommutative Poisson algebra structure.

Invariants for normal completely positive maps on the hyperfinite II1 factor

We investigate certain classes of normal completely positive (CP) maps on the hyperfinite II₁ factorA. Using the representation theory of a suitable irrational rotation algebra, we propose some computable invariants for such CP maps. Dedicated to Professor K B Sinha     

Hopf Modules and Noncommutative Differential Geometry

We define a new algebra of noncommutative differential forms for any Hopf algebra with an invertible antipode. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between anti-Yetter–Drinfeld modules, which serve as coefficients for the Hopf cyclic (co)homology, and modules which admit a flat connection with respect to our differential calculus. Thus, we show that these coefficient modules can be regarded as “flat bundles” in the sense of Connes’ noncommutative differential geometry.     

The core of zero-dimensional monomial ideals

The core of an ideal is the intersection of all its reductions. We describe the core of a zero-dimensional monomial ideal I as the largest monomial ideal contained in a general reduction of I. This provides a new interpretation of the core in the monomial case as well as an efficient algorithm for computing it. We relate the core to adjoints and first coefficient ideals, and in dimension two and three we give explicit formulas.
