Operator space structure on Feichtinger's Segal algebra

We extend the definition, from the class of abelian groups to a general locally compact group G, of Feichtinger's remarkable Segal algebra S₀(G). In order to obtain functorial properties for non-abelian groups, in particular a tensor product formula, we endow S₀(G) with an operator space structure. With this structure S₀(G) is simultaneously an operator Segal algebra of the Fourier algebra A(G), and of the group algebra L¹(G). We show that this operator space structure is consistent with the major functorial properties: (i) completely isomorphically (operator projective tensor product), if H is another locally compact group; (ii) the restriction map is completely surjective, if H is a closed subgroup; and (iii) is completely surjective, where N is a normal subgroup and . We also show that S₀(G) is an invariant for G when it is treated simultaneously as a pointwise algebra and a convolutive algebra.     

On categories associated to a Quasi-Hopf algebra

A quasi-Hopf algebra H can be seen as a commutative algebra A in the center 𝒵(H-Mod) of H-Mod. We show that the category of A-modules in 𝒵(H-Mod) is equivalent (as a monoidal category) to H-Mod. This can be regarded as a generalization of the structure theorem of Hopf bimodules of a Hopf algebra to the quasi-Hopf setting.     

On generalized circulants over a Boolean algebra

For any given positive integer n, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an n × nr-circulant (generalized circulant) over the Boolean algebra B = {0, 1} to be idempotent, and we present an algorith to obtain all n × n indempotent r-circulants over B for r = 0, 1,…,n ? 1.     

On the center of a Hecke algebra

The center of a group algebra of a finite group and the center of a Hecke algebra for this group are related closely.     

On the S-transform over a Banach algebra

The S-transform is shown to satisfy a specific twisted multiplicativity property for free random variables in a B-valued Banach noncommutative probability space, for an arbitrary unital complex Banach algebra B. Also, a new proof of the additivity of the R-transform in this setting is given.

On the derived algebra of a centraliser

Let g be a classical Lie algebra, e∈g a nilpotent element and ge⊂g the centraliser of e. We prove that ge=[ge,ge] if and only if e is rigid. It is also shown that if e∈[ge,ge], then the nilpotent radical of ge coincides with [ge(1),ge], where ge(1)⊂ge is an eigenspace of a characteristic of e corresponding to the eigenvalue 1.     

On σ-saturations of a Boolean algebra

Nel presente lavoro introduciamo una classe di estensioni di una data algebra di Boole, denominate σ-saturazioni, in cui è definita una nozione di minimalità. II risultato principale consiste nel dimostrare che esistono algebre che non ammettono una σ-saturazione minimale, per cui è possibile ripartire tutte le algebre di Boole in tre classi: σ-sature, σ-saturabili e non σ-saturabili, di cui nessuna è vuota. Vengono inoltre messi in luce i legami esistenti fra i concetti così introdotti equelli noti di algebra completa o σ-perfetta.     

On some properties of Segal algebras and their multipliers

Let A and B be Banach algebras such that A is a right abstract Segal algebra in B. We investigate some properties of A and B and show how these are related to the algebras of right multipliers on A and B.

On the algebra associated with a geometric lattice

Let L be a geometric lattice. Following P. Orlik and L. Solomon, Combinatorics and topology of complements of hyperplanes, Invent. math. 56 (1980), 167–189, we associate with L a graded commutative algebra A(L). In this paper we introduce a new invariant ψ of the algebra A(L) which suffices to distinguish algebras for which all other known invariants coincide. This result is applied to the study of arrangements of complex hyperplanes, with L being the intersection lattice. In this case A(L) is isomorphic to the cohomology algebra of the associated hyperplane complement. The goal is to find examples of arrangements with non-isomorphic lattices but homotopy equivalent complements. The invariant introduced here effectively narrows the list of candidates. Nevertheless, we exhibit combinatorially inequivalent arrangements for which all known invariants, including ψ, coincide.
