Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of generalized Weyl algebras (In memory of Guenter Rudolf Krause (1941–2015))

Given a generalized Weyl algebra A of degree 1 with the base algebra D, we prove that the difference of the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of A and that of D could be any positive integer or infinity. Under mild conditions, this difference is exactly 1. As applications, we calculate the Gelfand–Kirillov dimensions of various algebras of interest, including the (quantized) Weyl algebras, ambiskew polynomial rings, noetherian (generalized) down-up algebras, iterated Ore extensions, quantum Heisenberg algebras, universal enveloping algebras of Lie algebras, quantum GWAs, etc.     

Ore Extensions of Ore Domains

Let R be a right Ore domain and φ a derivation or an automorphism of R. We determine the right Martindale quotient ring of the Ore extension R[t; φ] (Theorem 1.1). As an attempt to generalize both the Weyl algebra and the quantum plane, we apply this to rings R such that k[x] ? R ? k(x), where k is a field and x is a commuting variable. The Martindale Quotient quotient ring of R[t; φ] and its automorphisms are computed. In this way, we obtain a family of non-isomorphic infinite dimensional simple domains with all their automorphisms explicitly described.     

Gelfand–Kirillov Dimension for Automorphism Groups of Relatively Free Algebras

Using ideas of our recent work on automorphisms of residually nilpotent relatively free groups, we introduce a new growth function for subgroups of the automorphism groups of relatively free algebras Fⁿ(V) over a field of characteristic zero and the related notion of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, and study their behavior. We prove that, under some natural restrictions, the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of the group of tame automorphisms of Fⁿ(V) is equal to the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of the algebra Fⁿ(V). We show that, in some cases, the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of the group of tame automorphisms of Fⁿ(V) is smaller than the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of the whole automorphism group, and calculate the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of the automorphism group of Fⁿ(V) for some important varieties V.Partially supported by Grant MM605/96 of the Bulgarian Foundation for Scientific Research.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: primary 16R10, 16P90; secondary 16W20, 17B01, 17B30, 17B40     

Automorphisms of Free Left Nilpotent Leibniz Algebras and Fixed Points

ABSTRACT

Let F _m (N) be the free left nilpotent (of class two) Leibniz algebra of finite rank m, with m ≥ 2. We show that F _m (N) has non-tame automorphisms and, for m ≥ 3, the automorphism group of F _m (N) is generated by the tame automorphisms and one more non-tame IA-automorphism. Let F(N) be the free left nilpotent Leibniz algebra of rank greater than 1 and let G be an arbitrary non-trivial finite subgroup of the automorphism group of F(N). We prove that the fixed point subalgebra F(N) ^G is not finitely generated.     

A quantum cup-length estimate for symplectic fixed points

A new lower bound for the number of fixed points of Hamiltonian automorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds (M,ω) is established. The new estimate extends the previously known estimates to the class of weakly monotone symplectic manifolds. We prove for arbitrary closed symplectic manifolds with rational symplectic class that the cup-length estimate holds true if the Hofer energy of the Hamiltonian automorphism is sufficiently small. For arbitrary energy and on weakly monotone symplectic manifolds we define an analogon to the cup-length based on the quantum cohomology ring of (M,ω) providing a quantum cup-length estimate.

Taylor spectrum of commuting n-contractions

Abstract

In this paper, we characterize the Taylor spectrum for a certain class of commuting n-contractions. We also investigate the behavior of this spectrum under action of involutive automorphisms of the unit ball 𝔹 _n.     

Involutions of Type G<Subscript>2</Subscript> Over Fields of Characteristic Two

We continue a study of automorphisms of order 2 of algebraic groups. In particular we look at groups of type G₂ over fields k of characteristic two. Let C be an octonion algebra over k; then Aut(C) is a group of type G₂ over k. We characterize automorphisms of order 2 and their corresponding fixed point groups for Aut(C) by establishing a connection between the structure of certain four dimensional subalgebras of C and the elements in Aut(C) that induce inner automorphisms of order 2. These automorphisms relate to certain quadratic forms which, in turn, determine the Galois cohomology of the fixed point groups of the involutions. The characteristic two case is unique because of the existence of four dimensional totally singular subalgebras. Over finite fields we show how our results coincide with known results, and we establish a classification of automorphisms of order 2 over infinite fields of characteristic two.     

An interpolation theorem for holomorphic automorphisms ofC n

We construct automorphisms of C ⁿ which map certain discrete sequences one onto another with prescribed finite jet at each point, thus solving a general Mittag-Leffler interpolation problem for automorphisms. Under certain circumstances, this can be done while also approximating a given automorphism on a compact set.     

Les beaux automorphismes

Assume that the class of partial automorphisms of the monster model of a complete theory has the amalgamation property. The beautiful automorphisms are the automorphisms of models ofT which: 1. are strong, i.e. leave the algebraic closure (inT ^eq) of the empty set pointwise fixed, 2. are obtained by the Fraïsse construction using the amalgamation property that we have just mentioned. We show that all the beautiful automorphisms have the same theory (in the language ofT plus one unary function symbol for the automorphism), and we study this theory. In particular, we examine the question of the saturation of the beautiful automorphisms. We also prove that in some cases (in particular if the theory is -stable andG-trivial), almost all (in the sense of Baire categoricity) automorphisms of the saturated countable model are beautiful and conjugate.     

Splitting properties and jump classes

We show that the promptly simple sets of Maass form a filter in the lattice ℰ of recursively enumerable sets. The degrees of the promptly simple sets form a filter in the upper semilattice of r.e. degrees. This filter nontrivially splits the high degrees (a is high ifa′=0″). The property of prompt simplicity is neither definable in ℰ nor invariant under automorphisms of ℰ. However, prompt simplicity is easily shown to imply a property of r.e. sets which is definable in ℰ and which we have called the splitting property. The splitting property is used to answer many questions about automorphisms of ℰ. In particular, we construct lowd-simple sets which are not automorphic, answering a question of Lerman and Soare. We produce classes invariant under automorphisms of ℰ which nontrivially split the high degrees as well as all of the other classes of r.e. degrees defined in terms of the jump operator. This refutes a conjecture of Soare and answers a question of H. Friedman.

Non-Autonomous basins of attraction and their boundaries

We study whether the basin of attraction of a sequence of automorphisms of ℂ ^{k is biholomorphic to} ℂ ^{k. In particular, we show that given any sequence of automorphisms with the same attracting fixed point, the basin is biholomorphic to} ℂ ^{k, if every map is iterated sufficiently many times. We also construct Fatou-Bieberbach domains in} ℂ² whose boundaries are four-dimensional.     

A lattice point problem on the regular tree

Huber (1956) [8] considered the following problem on the hyperbolic plane H. Consider a strictly hyperbolic subgroup of automorphisms on H with compact quotient, and choose a conjugacy class in this group. Count the number of vertices inside an increasing ball, which are images of a fixed point x∈H under automorphisms in the chosen conjugacy class, and describe the asymptotic behaviour of this number as the size of the ball goes to infinity. We use a well-known analogy between the hyperbolic plane and the regular tree to solve this problem on the regular tree.     

Automorphisms for Skew PBW Extensions and Skew Quantum Polynomial Rings

In this work, I study the automorphisms of skew PBW extensions and skew quantum polynomials. I use Artamonov's works as reference for getting the principal results about automorphisms for generic skew PBW extensions and generic skew quantum polynomials. In general, if I have an endomorphism on a generic skew PBW extension and there are some x _i , x _j , x _u such that the endomorphism is not zero on these elements and the principal coefficients are invertible, then endomorphisms act over x _i as a _i x _i for some a _i in the ring of coefficients. Of course, this is valid for quantum polynomial rings, with r = 0, as such Artamonov shows in his work. We use this result for giving some more general results for skew PBW extensions, using filtred-graded techniques. Finally, I use localization to characterize some class the endomorphisms and automorphisms for skew PBW extensions and skew quantum polynomials over Ore domains.     

Graded Quantum Groups and Quasitriangular Hopf Group-Coalgebras

ABSTRACT

Starting from a Hopf algebra endowed with an action of a group π by Hopf automorphisms, we construct (by a “twisted” double method) a quasitriangular Hopf π-coalgebra. This method allows us to obtain non-trivial examples of quasitriangular Hopf π-coalgebras for any finite group π and for infinite groups π such as GL _n (𝕂). In particular, we define the graded quantum groups, which are Hopf π-coalgebras for π = ?[[h]] ^l and generalize the Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum enveloping algebras.     

Maximal and minimal prime ideals of incidence algebras

Abstract

In this paper we study the relationship between some homological properties such as the weak and the global dimension, the strong n-coherence, and the (n, d)-property, where n and d are two integers, of a commutative ring and its subrings retract. A special application is the transfer of these properties from a commutative ring to its fixed subring with respect to a subgroup of its group of automorphisms. It concludes with a discussion of the scopes and limits of our results.     

On orientation-preserving automorphisms of Hamiltonian cycles in the <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-dimensional Boolean cube

We obtain an upper bound for the order of the group of orientation-preserving automorphisms of a Hamiltonian cycle in the Boolean n-cube. We prove that the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle with the order of the group of orientation-preserving automorphisms attaining this upper bound is equivalent to the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle with an additional condition on the graph of orbits of a fixed automorphism of the n-cube.     

Dynamics of polynomial automorphisms ofC k

We study the dynamics of polynomial automorphisms ofC ^k . To an algebraically stable automorphism we associate positive closed currents which are invariant underf, consideringf as a rational map onP ^k . These currents give information on the dynamics and allow us to construct a canonical invariant measure which is shown to be mixing.     

On the Structure of IO n

Abstract. We study the structure of the semigroup IO _n of all order-preserving partial bijections on an n -element set. For this semigroup we describe maximal subsemigroups, maximal inverse subsemigroups, automorphisms and maximal nilpotent subsemigroups. We also calculate the maximal cardinality for the nilpotent subsemigroups in IO _n which happens to be given by the n -th Catalan number.
