Stratified modules over an extension algebra

Let A be a standard Koszul standardly stratified algebra and X an A-module. The paper investigates conditions which imply that the module Ext* _A (X) over the Yoneda extension algebra A* is filtered by standard modules. In particular, we prove that the Yoneda extension algebra of A is also standardly stratified. This is a generalization of similar results on quasi-hereditary and on graded standardly stratified algebras.     

Confluence Algebras and Acyclicity of the Koszul Complex

The N-Koszul algebras are N-homogeneous algebras satisfying a homological property. These algebras are characterised by their Koszul complex: an N-homogeneous algebra is N-Koszul if and only if its Koszul complex is acyclic. Methods based on computational approaches were used to prove N-Koszulness: an algebra admitting a side-confluent presentation is N-Koszul if and only if the extra-condition holds. However, in general, these methods do not provide an explicit contracting homotopy for the Koszul complex. In this article we present a way to construct such a contracting homotopy. The property of side-confluence enables us to define specific representations of confluence algebras. These representations provide a candidate for the contracting homotopy. When the extra-condition holds, it turns out that this candidate works. We make explicit our construction on several examples.     

Characteristic Modules of Dual Extensions and Groebner Bases

Let C be a finite dimensional directed algebra over an algebraically closed field k and A=A(C) the dual extension of C. The characteristic modules of A are constructed explicitly for a class of directed algebras, which generalizes the results of Xi. Furthermore, it is shown that the characteristic modules of dual extensions of a certain class of directed algebras admit the left Groebner basis theory in the sense of E. L. Green.     

Effect Algebras as Presheaves on Finite Boolean Algebras

For an effect algebra A, we examine the category of all morphisms from finite Boolean algebras into A. This category can be described as a category of elements of a presheaf R(A) on the category of finite Boolean algebras. We prove that some properties (being an orthoalgebra, the Riesz decomposition property, being a Boolean algebra) of an effect algebra A can be characterized in terms of some properties of the category of elements of the presheaf R(A). We prove that the tensor product of effect algebras arises as a left Kan extension of the free product of finite Boolean algebras along the inclusion functor. The tensor product of effect algebras can be expressed by means of the Day convolution of presheaves on finite Boolean algebras.     

Character Connes amenability of dual Banach algebras

We study the notion of character Connes amenability of dual Banach algebras and show that if A is an Arens regular Banach algebra, then A^** is character Connes amenable if and only if A is character amenable, which will resolve positively Runde’s problem for this concept of amenability. We then characterize character Connes amenability of various dual Banach algebras related to locally compact groups. We also investigate character Connes amenability of Lau product and module extension of Banach algebras. These help us to give examples of dual Banach algebras which are not Connes amenable.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">τ</Emphasis>-Tilting Modules Over One-Point Extensions by a Projective Module

Let A be the one point extension of an algebra B by a projective B-module. We prove that the extension of a given support τ-tilting B-module is a support τ-tilting A-module; and, conversely, the restriction of a given support τ-tilting A-module is a support τ-tilting B-module. Moreover, we prove that there exists a full embedding of quivers between the corresponding poset of support τ-tilting modules.     

DG Poisson algebra and its universal enveloping algebra

We introduce the notions of differential graded (DG) Poisson algebra and DG Poisson module. Let A be any DG Poisson algebra. We construct the universal enveloping algebra of A explicitly, which is denoted by A^ue. We show that A^ue has a natural DG algebra structure and it satisfies certain universal property. As a consequence of the universal property, it is proved that the category of DG Poisson modules over A is isomorphic to the category of DG modules over A^ue. Furthermore, we prove that the notion of universal enveloping algebra A^ue is well-behaved under opposite algebra and tensor product of DG Poisson algebras. Practical examples of DG Poisson algebras are given throughout the paper including those arising from differential geometry and homological algebra.     

Characteristic modules and tensor products over quasi-hereditary algebras

Let A be a monomial quasi-hereditary algebra with a pure strong exact Borel subalgebra B.It is proved that the category of induced good modules over B is contained in the category of good modules over A;that the characteristic module of A is an induced module of that of B via the exact functor-(?)_B A if and only if the induced A-module of an injective B-module remains injective as a B-module.Moreover,it is shown that an exact Borel subalgebra of a basic quasi-hereditary serial algebra is right serial and that the characteristic module of a basic quasi-hereditary serial algebra is exactly the induced module of that of its exact Borel subalgebra.     

Weak module amenability of triangular Banach algebras

Let A and B be unital Banach algebras and let M be a unital Banach A,B-module. Forrest and Marcoux [6] have studied the weak amenability of triangular Banach algebra \(\mathcal{T} = \left[ {_B^{AM} } \right]\) and showed that T is weakly amenable if and only if the corner algebras A and B are weakly amenable. When \(\mathfrak{A}\) is a Banach algebra and A and B are Banach \(\mathfrak{A}\)-module with compatible actions, and M is a commutative left Banach \(\mathfrak{A}\)-A-module and right Banach \(\mathfrak{A}\)-B-module, we show that A and B are weakly \(\mathfrak{A}\)-module amenable if and only if triangular Banach algebra T is weakly \(\mathfrak{T}\)-module amenable, where \(\mathfrak{T}: = \{ [^\alpha _\alpha ]:\alpha \in \mathfrak{A}\} \).     

Path <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript>∞</Subscript> algebras of positively graded quivers

Let A be a path A_∞-algebra over a positively graded quiver Q: We prove that the derived category of A is triangulated equivalent to the derived category of kQ; which is viewed as a DG algebra with trivial differential. The main technique used in the proof is Koszul duality for DG algebras.     

Chowla’s cosine problem

A continuous linear map T from a Banach algebra A into another B approximately preserves the zero products if ‖T(a)T(b)‖ ≤ α‖a‖‖b‖ (a,b ∈ A, ab = 0) for some small positive α. This paper is mainly concerned with the question of whether any continuous linear surjective map T: A → B that approximately preserves the zero products is close to a continuous homomorphism from A onto B with respect to the operator norm. We show that this is indeed the case for amenable group algebras.     

Injective Presentations of Induced Modules over Cluster-Tilted Algebras

Every cluster-tilted algebra B is the relation extension \(C\ltimes \textup {Ext}^{2}_{C}(DC,C)\) of a tilted algebra C. A B-module is called induced if it is of the form M? _C B for some C-module M. We study the relation between the injective presentations of a C-module and the injective presentations of the induced B-module. Our main result is an explicit construction of the modules and morphisms in an injective presentation of any induced B-module. In the case where the C-module, and hence the B-module, is projective, our construction yields an injective resolution. In particular, it gives a module theoretic proof of the well-known 1-Gorenstein property of cluster-tilted algebras.     

DISTINGUISHED PRE-NICHOLS ALGEBRAS

We formally define and study the distinguished pre-Nichols algebra \( \tilde{B} \)(V) of a braided vector space of diagonal type V with finite-dimensional Nichols algebra B(V). The algebra \( \tilde{B} \)(V) is presented by fewer relations than B(V), so it is intermediate between the tensor algebra T(V) and B(V). Prominent examples of distinguished pre-Nichols algebras are the positive parts of quantized enveloping (super)algebras and their multiparametric versions. We prove that these algebras give rise to new examples of Noetherian pointed Hopf algebras of finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. We investigate the kernel (in the sense of Hopf algebras) of the projection from \( \tilde{B} \)(V) to B(V), generalizing results of De Concini and Procesi on quantum groups at roots of unity.     

Cleft extensions of Koszul twisted Calabi–Yau algebras

Let H be a twisted Calabi–Yau (CY) Hopf algebra and σ a 2-cocycle on H. Let A be an N-Koszul twisted CY algebra such that A is a graded H^σ- module algebra. We show that the cleft extension A#_σH is also a twisted CY algebra. This result has two consequences. Firstly, the smash product of an N-Koszul twisted CY algebra with a twisted CY Hopf algebra is still a twisted CY algebra. Secondly, the cleft objects of a twisted CY Hopf algebra are all twisted CY algebras. As an application of this property, we determine which cleft objects of U(D, λ), a class of pointed Hopf algebras introduced by Andruskiewitsch and Schneider, are Calabi–Yau algebras.     

Approximations and Mittag-Leffler conditions the applications

A classic result by Bass says that the class of all projective modules is covering if and only if it is closed under direct limits. Enochs extended the if-part by showing that every class of modules C, which is precovering and closed under direct limits, is covering, and asked whether the converse is true. We employ the tools developed in [18] and give a positive answer when C = A, or C is the class of all locally A^≤ω-free modules, where A is any class of modules fitting in a cotorsion pair (A, B) such that B is closed under direct limits. This setting includes all cotorsion pairs and classes of locally free modules arising in (infinite-dimensional) tilting theory. We also consider two particular applications: to pure-semisimple rings, and Artin algebras of infinite representation type.     

Twisted Frobenius Extensions of Graded Superrings

We define twisted Frobenius extensions of graded superrings. We develop equivalent definitions in terms of bimodule isomorphisms, trace maps, bilinear forms, and dual sets of generators. The motivation for our study comes from categorification, where one is often interested in the adjointness properties of induction and restriction functors. We show that A is a twisted Frobenius extension of B if and only if induction of B-modules to A-modules is twisted shifted right adjoint to restriction of A-modules to B-modules. A large (non-exhaustive) class of examples is given by the fact that any time A is a Frobenius graded superalgebra, B is a graded subalgebra that is also a Frobenius graded superalgebra, and A is projective as a left B-module, then A is a twisted Frobenius extension of B.     

The number of simple modules of a cellular algebra

Let n be a natural number, and let A be an indecomposable cellular algebra such that the spectrum of its Cartan matrix C is of the form {n, 1, …., 1}. In general, not every natural number could be the number of non-isomorphic simple modules over such a cellular algebra. Thus, two natural questions arise: (1) which numbers could be the number of non-isomorphic simple modules over such a cellular algebra A ? (2) Given such a number, is there a cellular algebra such that its Cartan matrix has the desired property ? In this paper, we shall completely answer the first question, and give a partial answer to the second question by constructing cellular algebras with the pre-described Cartan matrix.     

Isomorphisms of Nonnoetherian Down-Up Algebras

We solve the isomorphism problem for nonnoetherian down-up algebras A(α, 0, γ) by lifting isomorphisms between some of their noncommutative quotients. The quotients we consider are either quantum polynomial algebras in two variables for γ =?0 or quantum versions of the Weyl algebra A ₁ for nonzero γ. In particular we obtain that no other down-up algebra is isomorphic to the monomial algebra A(0, 0, 0). We prove in the second part of the article that this is the only monomial algebra within the family of down-up algebras. Our method uses homological invariants that determine the shape of the possible quivers and we apply the abelianization functor to complete the proof.     

Characterization of 2-Local Derivations and Local Lie Derivations on Some Algebras

We prove that each 2-local derivation from the algebra M_n(A ) (n > 2) into its bimodule M_n(M) is a derivation, where A is a unital Banach algebra and M is a unital A -bimodule such that each Jordan derivation from A into M is an inner derivation, and that each 2-local derivation on a C*-algebra with a faithful traceable representation is a derivation. We also characterize local and 2-local Lie derivations on some algebras such as von Neumann algebras, nest algebras, the Jiang–Su algebra, and UHF algebras.     

On the Pronormality of Subgroups of Odd Index in Some Extensions of Finite Groups

We study finite groups with the following property (*): All subgroups of odd index are pronormal. Suppose that G has a normal subgroup A with property (*), and the Sylow 2-subgroups of G/A are self-normalizing. We prove that G has property (*) if and only if so does N_G(T)/T, where T is a Sylow 2-subgroup of A. This leads to a few results that can be used for the classification of finite simple groups with property (*).
