Locality of a modular adjacency algebra of an association scheme of prime power order

We will prove that a modular adjacency algebra of an association scheme of prime power order is a local algebra. Moreover, if the order is a prime, then the algebra is local symmetric.     

Structure of the Loday–Ronco Hopf algebra of trees

Loday and Ronco defined an interesting Hopf algebra structure on the linear span of the set of planar binary trees. They showed that the inclusion of the Hopf algebra of non-commutative symmetric functions in the Malvenuto–Reutenauer Hopf algebra of permutations factors through their Hopf algebra of trees, and these maps correspond to natural maps from the weak order on the symmetric group to the Tamari order on planar binary trees to the boolean algebra.We further study the structure of this Hopf algebra of trees using a new basis for it. We describe the product, coproduct, and antipode in terms of this basis and use these results to elucidate its Hopf-algebraic structure. In the dual basis for the graded dual Hopf algebra, our formula for the coproduct gives an explicit isomorphism with a free associative algebra. We also obtain a transparent proof of its isomorphism with the non-commutative Connes–Kreimer Hopf algebra of Foissy, and show that this algebra is related to non-commutative symmetric functions as the (commutative) Connes–Kreimer Hopf algebra is related to symmetric functions.     

A solvability criterion for the Lie algebra of derivations of a fat point

We consider the Lie algebra of derivations of a zero-dimensional local complex algebra. We describe an inequality involving the embedding dimension, the order, and the first deviation that forces this Lie algebra to be solvable. Our result was motivated by and generalizes the solvability of the Yau algebra of an isolated hypersurface singularity.     

Maximal nests in the Calkin algebra

We prove that if two countable commutative lattices of projections in the Calkin algebra are order isomorphic, then they are unitarily equivalent. We show that there are isomorphic maximal nests of projections in the Calkin algebra that are order isomorphic but not similar. Assuming the continuum hypothesis, we show that all maximal nests of projections in the Calkin algebra are order isomorphic.

     

Lattice congruences, fans and Hopf algebras

We give a unified explanation of the geometric and algebraic properties of two well-known maps, one from permutations to triangulations, and another from permutations to subsets. Furthermore we give a broad generalization of the maps. Specifically, for any lattice congruence of the weak order on a Coxeter group we construct a complete fan of convex cones with strong properties relative to the corresponding lattice quotient of the weak order. We show that if a family of lattice congruences on the symmetric groups satisfies certain compatibility conditions then the family defines a sub Hopf algebra of the Malvenuto–Reutenauer Hopf algebra of permutations. Such a sub Hopf algebra has a basis which is described by a type of pattern avoidance. Applying these results, we build the Malvenuto–Reutenauer algebra as the limit of an infinite sequence of smaller algebras, where the second algebra in the sequence is the Hopf algebra of non-commutative symmetric functions. We also associate both a fan and a Hopf algebra to a set of permutations which appears to be equinumerous with the Baxter permutations.     

The Magnus Embedding for Right-Symmetric Algebras

We construct a basis for the universal multiplicative enveloping algebra U(A) of a right-symmetric algebra A. We prove an analog of the Magnus embedding for right-symmetric algebras; i.e., we prove that a right-symmetric algebra A/R ², where A is a free right-symmetric algebra, is embedded into the algebra of triangular matrices of the second order.     

The center of an effect algebra

An effect algebra is a partial algebra modeled on the standard effect algebra of positive self-adjoint operators dominated by the identity on a Hilbert space. Every effect algebra is partially ordered in a natural way, as suggested by the partial order on the standard effect algebra. An effect algebra is said to be distributive if, as a poset, it forms a distributive lattice. We define and study the center of an effect algebra, relate it to cartesian-product factorizations, determine the center of the standard effect algebra, and characterize all finite distributive effect algebras as products of chains and diamonds.     

Rota–Baxter Operators on Quadratic Algebras

We prove that all Rota–Baxter operators on a quadratic division algebra are trivial. For nonzero weight, we state that all Rota–Baxter operators on the simple odd-dimensional Jordan algebra of bilinear form are projections on a subalgebra along another one. For weight zero, we find a connection between the Rota–Baxter operators and the solutions to the alternative Yang–Baxter equation on the Cayley–Dickson algebra. We also investigate the Rota–Baxter operators on the matrix algebras of order two, the Grassmann algebra of plane, and the Kaplansky superalgebra.     

Spectral order of operators and range projections

We study the effect algebra (i.e. the positive part of the unit ball of an operator algebra) and its relation to the projection lattice from the perspective of the spectral order. A spectral orthomorphism is a map between effect algebras which preserves the spectral order and orthogonality of elements. We show that if the spectral orthomorphism preserves the multiples of the unit, then it is a restriction of a Jordan homomorphism between the corresponding algebras. This is an optimal extension of the Dye's theorem on orthomorphisms of the projection lattices to larger structures containing the projections. Moreover, results on automatic countable additivity of spectral homomorphisms are proved. Further, we study the order properties of the range projection map, assigning to each positive contraction in a JBW algebra its range projection. It is proved that this map preserves infima of positive contractions in the spectral (respectively standard order) if, and only if, the projection lattice of the algebra in question is a modular lattice.     

Bicrossed products with the Taft algebra

To the theory of operator monotone and operator convex functions

We prove that a real function is operator monotone (operator convex) if the corresponding monotonicity (convexity) inequalities are valid for some normal state on the algebra of all bounded operators in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. We describe the class of convex operator functions with respect to a given von Neumann algebra in dependence of types of direct summands in this algebra. We prove that if a function from ℝ⁺ into ℝ⁺ is monotone with respect to a von Neumann algebra, then it is also operator monotone in the sense of the natural order on the set of positive self-adjoint operators affiliated with this algebra.     

Lattice orders on 2 × 2 triangular matrix algebras

We construct all the lattice orders on a 2 × 2 triangular matrix algebra over a totally ordered field that make it into a lattice-ordered algebra. It is shown that every lattice order in which the identity matrix is not positive may be obtained from a lattice order in which the identity matrix is positive.     

Sorting orders,subword complexes,Bruhat order and total positivity

In this note we construct a poset map from a Boolean algebra to the Bruhat order which unveils an interesting connection between subword complexes, sorting orders, and certain totally nonnegative spaces. This relationship gives a simple new proof that the proper part of Bruhat order is homotopy equivalent to the proper part of a Boolean algebra — that is, to a sphere. We also obtain a geometric interpretation for sorting orders. We conclude with two new results: that the intersection of all sorting orders is the weak order, and the union of sorting orders is the Bruhat order.

Finite-Dimensional Algebras and Standard Systems

We introduce the notion of a standard system in order to deal with quasi-hereditary algebras. We shall prove that a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite-dimensional algebra to be quasi-hereditary is the existence of a full and divisible standard system. As a further application, we obtain a sufficient condition for a standardly stratified algebra.     

Hopf Algebra Extensions of Group Algebras and Tambara-Yamagami Categories

We determine the structure of Hopf algebras that admit an extension of a group algebra by the cyclic group of order 2. We study the corepresentation theory of such Hopf algebras, which provide a generalization, at the Hopf algebra level, of the so called Tambara-Yamagami fusion categories. As a byproduct, we show that every semisimple Hopf algebra of dimension < 36 is necessarily group-theoretical; thus 36 is the smallest possible dimension where a non group-theoretical example occurs.     

Noncommutative Galois Extension and Graded <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-Differential Algebra

We show that a semi-commutative Galois extension of a unital associative algebra can be endowed with the structure of a graded q-differential algebra. We study the first and higher order noncommutative differential calculus of semi-commutative Galois extension induced by the graded q-differential algebra. As an example we consider the quaternions which can be viewed as the semi-commutative Galois extension of complex numbers.     

Extensions of hom-Lie algebras in terms of cohomology

We study (non-abelian) extensions of a given hom-Lie algebra and provide a geometrical interpretation of extensions, in particular, we characterize an extension of a hom-Lie algebra g by another hom-Lie algebra h and discuss the case where h has no center. We also deal with the setting of covariant exterior derivatives, Chevalley derivative, Maurer-Cartan formula, curvature and the Bianchi identity for the possible extensions in differential geometry. Moreover, we find a cohomological obstruction to the existence of extensions of hom-Lie algebras, i.e., we show that in order to have an extendible hom-Lie algebra, there should exist a trivial member of the third cohomology.     

Hereditary crossed products

We characterize when a crossed product order over a maximal order in a central simple algebra by a finite group is hereditary. We need only concentrate on the cases when the group acts as inner automorphisms and when the group acts as outer automorphisms. When the group acts as inner automorphisms, the classical group algebra result holds for crossed products as well; that is, the crossed product is hereditary if and only if the order of the group is a unit in the ring. When the group is acting as outer automorphisms, every crossed product order is hereditary, regardless of whether the order of the group is a unit in the ring.

     

On ideals of the group algebra of an infinite symmetric group over a field of characteristic p

We prove that any nonzero ideal of the group algebra of the infinite symmetric group over a field of nonzero characteristic contains skew-symmetric and symmetric elements of sufficiently large order. Using this result, we reduce the question of the classification of the ideals of the group algebra of the infinite symmetric group to the classification of certain subspaces of the tensor square of a finitely generated free associative algebra.
