Varieties of affine Kac-Moody algebras

In this paper the identities of the complex affine Kac-Moody algebras are studied. It is proved that the identities of twisted affine algebras coincide with those of the corresponding nontwisted algebras. Moreover, in the class of nontwisted affine Kac-Moody algebras, each of these algebras is uniquely defined by its identities. It is shown that the varieties of affine algebras, as well as the varieties defined by finitely generated three-step solvable Lie algebras, have exponential growth.

A note on normal varieties of monounary algebras

A variety is called normal if no laws of the form s = t are valid in it where s is a variable and t is not a variable. Let L denote the lattice of all varieties of monounary algebras (A,f) and let V be a non-trivial non-normal element of L. Then V is of the form with some n > 0. It is shown that the smallest normal variety containing V is contained in for every m > 1 where C denotes the operator of forming choice algebras. Moreover, it is proved that the sublattice of L consisting of all normal elements of L is isomorphic to L.     

Operads and varieties of algebras defined by polylinear identities

We show that varieties of algebras over abstract clones and over the corresponding operads are rationally equivalent. We introduce the class of operads (which we call commutative for definiteness) such that the varieties of algebras over these operads resemble in a sense categories of modules over commutative rings. In particular, the notions of a polylinear mapping and the tensor product of algebras. The categories of modules over commutative rings and the category of convexors are examples of varieties over commutative operads. By analogy with the theory of linear multioperator algebras, we develop a theory of C-linear multioperator algebras; in particular, of algebras, defined by C-polylinear identities (here C is a commutative operad). We introduce and study symmetric C-linear operads. The main result of this article is as follows: A variety of C-linear multioperator algebras is defined by C-polylinear identities if and only if it is rationally equivalent to a variety of algebras over a symmetric C-linear operad.     

Varieties of solvable index-two alternative algebras over a field of characteristic three

The subvarieties of the variety Alt₂ of solvable index-two alternative algebras over an arbitrary field of characteristic 3 are studied. The main types of such varieties are singled out in the language of identities, and inclusions between these types are established. The main results is the following.Theorem.The topological rank of the variety Alt₂ of solvable index-two alternative algebras over an arbitrary field of characteristic 3 is equal to five.

Embedding into 2-generated simple associative (Lie) algebras

In this paper, by using Gröbner–Shirshov bases theories, we prove that each countably generated associative algebra (Lie algebra) can be embedded into a simple two-generated associative algebra (Lie algebra).     

A cancellation conjecture for free associative algebras

We develop a new method to deal with the Cancellation Conjecture of Zariski in different environments. We prove the conjecture for free associative algebras of rank two. We also produce a new proof of the conjecture for polynomial algebras of rank two over fields of zero characteristic.

     

On free products in varieties of associative algebras

Varieties of associative algebras over a field of characteristic zero are considered. Belov recently proved that, in any variety of this kind, the Hilbert series of a relatively free algebra of finite rank is rational. At the same time, for three important varieties, namely, those of algebras with zero multiplication, of commutative algebras, and of all associative algebras, a stronger assertion holds: for these varieties, formulas that rationally express the Hilbert series of the free product algebra via the Hilbert series of the factors are well known. In the paper, a system of counterexamples is presented which shows that there is no formula of this kind in any other variety, even in the case of two factors one of which is a free algebra. However, if we restrict ourselves to the class of graded PI-algebras generated by their components of degree one, then there exist infinitely many varieties for each of which a similar formula is valid.

A note on Bridgeland Hall algebras

In this note, let 𝒜 be a finitary hereditary abelian category with enough projectives. By using the associativity formula of Hall algebras, we give a new proof of the main theorem in [17 Yanagida, S. (2016). A note on Bridgeland’s Hall algebra of two-periodic complexes. Math. Z. 282(3):973–991.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]], which states that the Bridgeland Hall algebra of 2-cyclic complexes of projective objects in 𝒜 is isomorphic to the Drinfeld double Hall algebra of 𝒜.     

A note on substitutions in representable cylindric algebras

We show that it is impossible to define a substitution operator for arbitrary representable cylindric algebras that agrees in its basic properties with the notion of substitutions introduced for dimension complemented algebras (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A solution to identities problem in 2‐element HSI‐algebras

Operator algebras with contractive approximate identities

We give several applications of a recent theorem of the second author, which solved a conjecture of the first author with Hay and Neal, concerning contractive approximate identities; and another of Hay from the theory of noncommutative peak sets, thereby putting the latter theory on a much firmer foundation. From this theorem it emerges there is a surprising amount of positivity present in any operator algebras with contractive approximate identity. We exploit this to generalize several results previously available only for C^?-algebras, and we give many other applications.     

Operator algebras with contractive approximate identities: Weak compactness and the spectrum

We continue our study of operator algebras with contractive approximate identities (cais) by presenting a couple of interesting examples of operator algebras with cais, which in particular answer questions raised in previous papers in this series, for example about whether, roughly speaking, ‘weak compactness’ of an operator algebra, or the lack of it, can be seen in the spectra of its elements.     

A note on a subvariety of linear tense algebras

In [1], Bull gave completeness proofs for three axiom systems with respect to tense logic with time linear and rational, real and integral. The associated varieties, Dens, Cont and Disc, are generated by algebras with frames {?, <, >}, {?, <, >} and {?, <, >}, respectively. In this paper we consider the subvariety ?? generated by the finite members of Disc. We prove that V is locally finite and we determine its lattice of subvarieties. We also prove that ?? = Disc ∩ Dens = Disc ∩ Cont. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A note on the left-symmetric algebraic structures of the Witt algebra

In Tang and Bai [Math Nachr. 2012;285:922–935] classified a class of non-graded left-symmetric algebraic structures on the Witt algebra under a certain rational condition. In this note, we show that this rational condition is not necessary. This leads to a more elegant classification of the left-symmetric algebraic structures and Novikov algebraic structures on the Witt algebra.     

Colength of varieties of linear algebras

In this paper, an example of a variety of nonassociative algebras is constructed in which the system of Capelli identities of small rank is satisfied, whereas the colength function has exponential growth. As is well known, in the associative case and in the Lie case, the validity of Capelli identities implies the polynomial growth of the colength.
