π-Complementation in the Unitisation and Multiplication Algebras of a Semiprime Algebra

π-complemented algebras are defined as those (not necessarily associative or unital) algebras such that each annihilator ideal is complemented by other annihilator ideal. For a given semiprime algebra A, we discuss the π-complementation of the unitisation algebra A ¹ of A. Moreover, if in addition the multiplication algebra ?(A) of A is also semiprime, we study the π-complementation in the algebras ?(A) and ?^?(A) (the multiplication ideal of A). In associative setting, we prove that A is π-complemented if and only if ?^?(A) is π-complemented, and that A ¹ π-complemented if and only if ?(A) is π-complemented.     

Compact DG modules and Gorenstein DG algebras

When the base connected cochain DG algebra is cohomologically bounded, it is proved that the difference between the amplitude of a compact DG module and that of the DG algebra is just the projective dimension of that module. This yields the unboundedness of the cohomology of non-trivial regular DG algebras. When A is a regular DG algebra such that H(A) is a Koszul graded algebra, H(A) is proved to have the finite global dimension. And we give an example to illustrate that the global dimension of H(A) may be infinite, if the condition that H(A) is Koszul is weakened to the condition that A is a Koszul DG algebra. For a general regular DG algebra A, we give some equivalent conditions for the Gorensteiness. For a finite connected DG algebra A, we prove that D^c(A) and D^c(A ^op) admit Auslander-Reiten triangles if and only if A and A ^op are Gorenstein DG algebras. When A is a non-trivial regular DG algebra such that H(A) is locally finite, D^c(A) does not admit Auslander-Reiten triangles. We turn to study the existence of Auslander-Reiten triangles in D_lf^b(A) and D_lf^b (A ^op) instead, when A is a regular DG algebra.

Polynomials in a matrix

Let A be a matrixp(x) a polynomial. Put B=p(A). It is shown that necessary and sufficient conditions for A to be a polynomial in B are (i) if λ is any eigenvalue of A, and if some elementary divisor of A corresponding to λ is nonlinear, thenp ^′(λ)≠0;and (ii) if λ,μ are distinct eigenvalues of A, then p(λ)p(μ) are also distinct. Here all computations are over some algebraically closed field.     

The Simple Connectedness of a Tame Weakly Shod Algebra

Abstract

We prove that a tame weakly shod algebra A which is not quasi-tilted is simply connected if and only if the orbit graph of its pip-bounded component is a tree, or if and only if its first Hochschild cohomology group H¹(A) with coefficients in _A A _A vanishes. We also show that it is strongly simply connected if and only if the orbit graph of each of its directed components is a tree, or if and only if H¹(A) = 0 and it contains no full convex subcategory which is hereditary of type 𝔸?, or if and only if it is separated and contains no full convex subcategory which is hereditary of type 𝔸?.     

Ehresmann connection for the canonical foliation on a manifold over a local algebra

For a canonical foliation on a manifoldM ^A over a local algebra, theA-affine horizontal distribution complementary to the leaves, similar to the horizontal distribution of a higher order connection on the fiber bundle ofA-jets, is defined. In the case of a complete manifoldM ^A, theA-affine horizontal distribution is proved to be an Ehresmann connection in the sense of Blumental-Hebda. It is shown that theA-affine horizontal distribution onM ^A exists if and only if the Atiyah class of a certain foliated principal bundle vanishes.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 59, No. 2, pp. 303–310, February, 1996.

Counting points in hypercubes and convolution measure algebras

It is shown that ifA andB are non-empty subsets of {0, 1} ⁿ (for somenεN) then |A+B|≧(|A||B|)^α where α=(1/2) log₂ 3 here and in what follows. In particular if |A|=2 ^n-1 then |A+A|≧3 ^n-1 which anwers a question of Brown and Moran. It is also shown that if |A| = 2 ^n-1 then |A+A|=3 ^n-1 if and only if the points ofA lie on a hyperplane inn-dimensions. Necessary and sufficient conditions are also given for |A +B|=(|A||B|)^α. The above results imply the following improvement of a result of Talagrand [7]: ifX andY are compact subsets ofK (the Cantor set) withm(X),m(Y)>0 then λ(X+Y)≧2(m(X)m(Y))^α wherem is the usual measure onK and λ is Lebesgue measure. This also answers a question of Moran (in more precise terms) showing thatm is not concentrated on any proper Raikov system.     

Generalized Group Algebras of Locally Compact Groups

This article studies the homological properties of generalized group algebra L ¹(G, A) of a locally compact group G over a Banach algebra A with an identity of norm 1. It is shown that if L ¹(G, A) is right continuous then G is finite and A is right continuous. It is also shown that L ¹(G, A) is right self-injective if and only if G is finite and A is right self-injective.     

On the Density of Positive Proper Efficient Points in a Normed Space

In the context of vector optimization and generalizing cones with bounded bases, we introduce and study quasi-Bishop-Phelps cones in a normed space X. A dual concept is also presented for the dual space X*. Given a convex subset A of a normed space X partially ordered by a closed convex cone S with a base, we show that, if A is weakly compact, then positive proper efficient points are sequentially weak dense in the set E(A, S) of efficient points of A; in particular, the connotation weak dense in the above can be replaced by the connotation norm dense if S is a quasi-Bishop-Phelps cone. Dually, for a convex subset of X* partially ordered by the dual cone S ⁺, we establish some density results of positive weak* efficient elements of A in E(A, S ⁺).     

TAME TWO-POINT ALGEBRAS WITHOUT LOOPS

We determine the representation type of the algebras whose quiver has precisely two vertices and admits no loops by listing all minimal wild algebras of this form. It turns out that such an algebra A is tame if and only if A/rad³ A is tame, and in this case A degenerates to a special biserial algebra. Moreover, A is wild if and only if it is controlled wild.     

Morita Duality for the Rings of Generalized Power Series

Let A, B be associative rings with identity, and (S, ≤) a strictly totally ordered monoid which is also artinian and finitely generated. For any bimodule _A M _B , we show that the bimodule _{[[ AS,≤ ]]}[M ^{S ,≤}]_{[[ BS, ≤ ]]} defines a Morita duality if and only if _A M _B defines a Morita duality and A is left noetherian, B is right noetherian. As a corollary, it is shown that the ring [[A ^{S ,≤}]] of generalized power series over A has a Morita duality if and only if A is a left noetherian ring with a Morita duality induced by a bimodule _A M _B such that B is right noetherian.

Contractability of l 1 -Munn algebras with applications

A Banach algebra \A is called contractible if every bounded derivation from A into any Banach A bimodule is inner. In this article we show that a l ¹ -Munn algebra LM(A, P) is contractible if and only if A is contractible and LM(A, P) is unital. As a consequence, if a semigroup algebra l ¹(S) is contractible, then S is finite. March 30, 1999     

Finite Groups with Few TI-Subgroups

A subgroup A of a finite group G is called a TI-subgroup if either A ∩ A ^x  = 1 or A ∩ A ^x  = A holds for all x ∈ G. In this paper, finite group all of whose meta-cyclic subgroups are TI-subgroups are classified completely. In particular, such groups are solvable.     

Some results on symplectic matrices

The principal results are that if A is an integral matrix such that AA^T is symplectic then A = CQ, where Q is a permutation matrix and C is symplectic; and that if A is a hermitian positive definite matrix which is symplectic, and B is the unique hermitian positive definite pth.root of A, where p is a positive integer, then B is also symplectic.     

Semigroups and resolvents of bounded variation,imaginary powers andH ∞ functional calculus

Let −A be a linear, injective operator, on a Banach spaceX. We show that ∃ anH ^∞ functional calculus forA if and only if −A generates a bouned strongly continuous holomorphic semigroup of uniform weak bounded variation, if and only ifA(ζ+A) ⁻¹ is of uniform weak bounded variation. This provides a sufficient condition for the imaginary powers ofA, {A^−is} sεR, to extend to a strongly continuous group of bounded operators; we also give similar necessary conditions.     

三幂等符号模式矩阵的结构

Abstract. A matrix whose entries are , -, and 0 is called a sign pattern matrix. For a signpattern matrix A,if A3 =A, then A is said to be sign tripotent. In this paper, the characteriza-tion of the n by n(n≥2) sign pattern matrices A which are sign tripotent has been given out.Furthermore, the necessary and sufficient condition of A3=A but A2≠A is obtained, too.     

Projections in Free Product C*-algebras

Consider the reduced free product of C*-algebras, , with respect to states and that are faithful. If and are traces, if the so-called Avitzour conditions are satisied, (i.e. A ₁ and A ₂ are not "too small" in a specific sense) and if A ₁ and A ₂ are nuclear, then it is shown that the positive cone, K ₀(A)⁺, of the K ₀-group of A consists of those elements for which or . Thus, the ordered group K ₀(A) is weakly unperforated.?If, on the other hand, or is not a trace and if a certain condition weaker than the Avitzour conditions holds, then A is properly infinite.

Discriminating Completions of Hyperbolic Groups

A group G is called an A-group, where A is a given Abelian group, if it comes equipped with an action of A on G which mimics the way in which Z acts on any group. This action is codified in terms of certain axioms, all but one of which were introduced some years ago by R. C. Lyndon. For every such G and A there exists an A-exponential group G ^A which is the A-completion of G. We prove here that if G is a torsion-free hyperbolic group and if A is a torsion-free Abelian group, then the Lyndon's type completion G ^A of G is G-discriminated by G. This implies various model-theoretic and algorithmic results about G ^A .     

On equivalence of derived categories

Let A be an Abelian category and B be a thick subcategory of A. Let D ^b(B) denote the derived category of cohomologically bounded chain complexes of objects in A and D _B ^b (A) denote the derived category of cohomologically bounded chain complexes of objects in A with cohomology in B. We give two if and only if conditions for equivalence of D(B) and D _B ^b (A), and we give an example where D ^b (B) and D _B ^b (A) are not equivalent.     

Actions of hopf algebras on fully bounded noetherian rings

Let H be a finite dimensional Hopf algebra acting on a right noetherian algebra A and assume that the trace function [tcirc] : A → A ^H is surjective. Then A is right PBN if and only if so is A ^H . This extends the result of García-del Río for group actions which answered a question of Fisher-Osterburg, and the result of Nǎstǎsescu-Dǎscǎlescu for group graded algebras.
