Automatic continuity of biorthogonality preservers between compact C-algebras and von Neumann algebras

We prove that every biorthogonality preserving linear surjection between two dual or compact C^?-algebras or between two von Neumann algebras is automatically continuous.     

Brauer algebras, symplectic Schur algebras and Schur-Weyl duality

In this paper we prove the Schur-Weyl duality between the symplectic group and the Brauer algebra over an arbitrary infinite field . We show that the natural homomorphism from the Brauer algebra to the endomorphism algebra of the tensor space as a module over the symplectic similitude group (or equivalently, as a module over the symplectic group ) is always surjective. Another surjectivity, that of the natural homomorphism from the group algebra for to the endomorphism algebra of as a module over , is derived as an easy consequence of S. Oehms's results [S. Oehms, J. Algebra (1) 244 (2001), 19-44].

     

Full duality among graph algebras and flat graph algebras

We prove that among finite graph algebras and among finite flat graph algebras, dualizability, full dualizability, strong dualizability and entropicity are all equivalent. Any finite (flat) graph algebra which is not dualizable must be inherently non--dualizable for every infinite cardinal . A new, general method for proving strong duality is presented.

Representation and duality for Hilbert algebras

In this paper we introduce a special kind of ordered topological spaces, called Hilbert spaces. We prove that the category of Hilbert algebras with semi-homomorphisms is dually equivalent to the category of Hilbert spaces with certain relations. We restrict this result to give a duality for the category of Hilbert algebras with homomorphisms. We apply these results to prove that the lattice of the deductive systems of a Hilbert algebra and the lattice of open subsets of its dual Hilbert space, are isomorphic. We explore how this duality is related to the duality given in [6] for finite Hilbert algebras, and with the topological duality developed in [7] for Tarski algebras.      

The duality between algebras and coalgebras

In this paper we introduce the category of Yang-Baxter structures. We give examples of objects in this category. We construct full and faithful embbedings from the categories of algebra and coalgebra structures to the category of Yang-Baxter structures. Then we give a new duality theorem which extends the duality between finite dimensional algebras and coalgebras.

Costruiamo immersioni piene e fedeli dalle categorie di algebre e coalgebre alla categoria di strutture di Yang-Baxter. Infine diamo un nuovo teorema di dualità che estende la dualità tra algebre e coalgebre di dimensione finita.

     

Grothendieck-like duality for Heyting algebras

In this paper we shall use the multipliers in order to define a sheaf on the prime spectrum of a Heyting algebra. This construction allows us to obtain a Grothendieck-style duality for Heyting algebras. Received March 3, 2000; accepted in final form February 16, 2001.     

Topological duality for Tarski algebras

In this paper we will generalize the representation theory developed for finite Tarski algebras given in [7]. We will introduce the notion of Tarski space as a generalization of the notion of dense Tarski set, and we will prove that the category of Tarski algebras with semi-homomorphisms is dually equivalent to the category of Tarski spaces with certain closed relations, called T-relations. By these results we will obtain that the algebraic category of Tarski algebras is dually equivalent to the category of Tarski spaces with certain partial functions. We will apply these results to give a topological characterization of the subalgebras. Received August 21, 2005; accepted in final form December 5, 2006.     

Poincaré duality algebras mod two

We study Poincaré duality algebras over the field F₂ of two elements. After introducing a connected sum operation for such algebras we compute the corresponding Grothendieck group of surface algebras (i.e., Poincaré algebras of formal dimension 2). We show that the corresponding group for 3-folds (i.e., algebras of formal dimension 3) is not finitely generated, but does have a Krull-Schmidt property.We then examine the isomorphism classes of 3-folds with at most three generators of degree 3, provide a complete classification, settle which such occur as the cohomology of a smooth 3-manifold, and list separating invariants.The closing section and Appendix A provide several different means of constructing connected sum indecomposable 3-folds.     

Koszul duality for stratified algebras I. Balanced quasi-hereditary algebras

We give a complete picture of the interaction between Koszul and Ringel dualities for quasi-hereditary algebras admitting linear tilting (co)resolutions of standard and costandard modules. We show that such algebras are Koszul, that the class of these algebras is closed with respect to both dualities and that on this class these two dualities commute. All arguments reduce to short computations in the bounded derived category of graded modules.     

Projective bundle ideals and Poincaré duality algebras

The study of maximal-primary irreducible ideals in a commutative graded connected Noetherian algebra over a field is in principle equivalent to the study of the corresponding quotient algebras. Such algebras are Poincaré duality algebras. A prototype for such an algebra is the cohomology with field coefficients of a closed oriented manifold. Topological constructions on closed manifolds often lead to algebraic constructions on Poincaré duality algebras and therefore also on maximal-primary irreducible ideals. It is the purpose of this note to examine several of these and develop some of their basic properties.     

Derived equivalences and Serre duality for Gorenstein algebras

We introduce a notion of Gorenstein algebras of codimension c and demonstrate that Serre duality theory plays an essential role in the theory of derived equivalences for Gorenstein algebras.     

Priestley duality and quotient lattices of many-valued algebras

Si mostra che la costruzione e le proprietà del funtore β (vedi [2]) della categoria delleMV-algebre alla categoria di reticoli distributivi limitati trova una naturale interpretazione nel contesto della dualità di Priestley [17], [18] e [19].     

Gelfand-type duality for commutative von Neumann algebras

We show that the following five categories are equivalent: (1) the opposite category of commutative von Neumann algebras; (2) compact strictly localizable enhanced measurable spaces; (3) measurable locales; (4) hyperstonean locales; (5) hyperstonean spaces. This result can be seen as a measure-theoretic counterpart of the Gelfand duality between commutative unital C^?-algebras and compact Hausdorff topological spaces. This paper is also available as arXiv:2005.05284v3.     

Banach space duality of absolute Schur algebras

Matrix Schur product is the entry-wise product of matrices of the same size. It was shown by P. Chaisuriya and S.-C. Ong [1] that (forr1) infinite matrices [a _jk ] such that [|a _jk | ^r ] B(l ² form a Banach algebra under the norm [a _jk ] _r =[|a _jk | ^r ]^1/r and the Schur product. In this paper we demonstrate the existence of Banach space duality within the class of these algebras which is analogous to the classical duality between the spaces of compact, trace class, and bounded operators onl ². Also we obtain a general functional calculus on these algebras, which is used to determine the spectrum and to justify the notion of -norm introduced in [1].This author's research was supported by a sabbatical leave and a Division grant from Colby College.This author's research was supported by a research professorship at Central Michigan University.This author's research was supported by a visiting professorship at Central Michigan University.     

A duality for Boolean algebras with operators

Jónsson and Tarski's extension and representation theorems for Boolean algebras with operators ([7], p. 926 and p. 933) can be extended to homomorphisms between these algebras. The result obtained takes the form of a duality between the category of Boolean algebras with operators and that of the “algebras in the wider sense” (whose subjects are defined in [7]) with a suitable topology. This duality generalizes results of Pierce ([10], p. 38). Moreover, it can be extended to more general objects such as Boolean algebras with non-normal operators and even to arbitrary distributive lattices with operators.     

The structure theorem and duality theorem for endomorphism algebras of weak Hopf algebras

With an aim of exploring homological algebra for weak Hopf modules, this paper investigates the HOM-functor and presents the structure theorem for endomorphism algebras of weak two-sided (A,H)-Hopf modules, and gives the duality theorem for weak “big” smash products.     

Proper actions, fixed-point algebras and naturality in nonabelian duality

Suppose a locally compact group G acts freely and properly on a locally compact Hausdorff space X, and let γ be the induced action on C₀(X). We consider a category in which the objects are C^∗-dynamical systems (A,G,α) for which there is an equivariant homomorphism of (C₀(X),γ) into the multiplier algebra M(A). Rieffel has shown that such systems are proper and saturated, and hence have a generalized fixed-point algebra Aα which is Morita equivalent to A_×α,rG. We show that the assignment (A,α)?Aα is functorial, and that Rieffel's Morita equivalence is natural in a suitable sense. We then use our results to prove a categorical version of Landstad duality which characterizes crossed products by coactions, and to prove that Mansfield imprimitivity for crossed products by homogeneous spaces is natural.
