Notes on piecewise-Koszul algebras

The relationships between piecewise-Koszul algebras and other “Koszul-type” algebras are discussed. The Yoneda-Ext algebra and the dual algebra of a piecewise-Koszul algebra are studied, and a sufficient condition for the dual algebra A ^! to be piecewise-Koszul is given. Finally, by studying the trivial extension algebras of the path algebras of Dynkin quivers in bipartite orientation, we give explicit constructions for piecewise-Koszul algebras with arbitrary “period” and piecewise-Koszul algebras with arbitrary “jump-degree”.     

Co-Point Modules Over Frobenius Koszul Algebras

Let A be a Frobenius Koszul algebra such that its Koszul dual A ^! is a quantum polynomial algebra. Co-point modules over A were defined as dual notion of point modules over A ^! with respect to the Koszul duality. In this article, we will see that various important functors between module categories over A used in representation theory of finite dimensional algebras send co-point modules to co-point modules. As a consequence, we will show that if (E, σ) is a geometric pair associated to A ^!, then the map σ:E → E is an automorphism of the point scheme E of A ^!, so that there is a bijection between isomorphism classes of left point modules over A ^! and those of right point modules over A ^!.     

Quasi-hereditary covers of higher zigzag algebras of type A

In this paper we define and study some quasi-hereditary covers for higher zigzag algebras of type A. We show how these algebras satisfy three different Koszul properties: they are Koszul in the classical sense, standard Koszul and Koszul with respect to the standard module Δ, according to the definition given in [24]. This last property gives rise to a well defined duality and we compute the Δ-Koszul dual as the path algebra of a quiver with relations.     

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.

Koszul-like algebras and modules

In this paper, the notion of Koszul-like algebra is introduced; this notion generalizes the notion of Koszul algebra and includes some Artin-Schelter regular algebras of global dimension 5 as special examples. Basic properties of Koszul-like modules are discussed. In particular, some necessary and sufficient conditions for KL(A) = L(A) are provided, where KL(A) and L(A) denote the categories of Koszul-like modules and modules with linear presentations (see [1]–[3], etc.) respectively, and A is a Koszul-like algebra. We construct new Koszul-like algebras from the known ones by the “one-point extension.” Some criteria for a graded algebra to be Koszul-like are provided. Finally, we construct many classical Koszul objects from the given Koszul-like objects.

Weighted Algebras of Vector‐Valued Continuous Functions

In this paper we present a systematic study of the algebras CV (X, E) and CV₀(X, E) of continuous functions with weight conditions given by a Nachbin family V and with values in a locally convex algebra E. Some relevant examples (and counterexamples to some assertions in the literature) are provided.     

Sur l’annulation du deuxième foncteur de (co)homologie d’André-Quillen

For a given idealI of a commutative ringA, B=A/I, the vanishing of the second André-Quillen (co)homology functorH ₂ (A, B, δ) is characterized in terms of the canonical homomorphism α:S(I)→R(I) from the symmetric algebra of the idealI onto its Rees algebra. This is done by introducing a Koszul complex that characterizes commutative graded algebras which are symmetric algebras.

On Finite Quantum Groups at −1

This is a contribution to the classification of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras. We are concerned with the case when the group of group-like elements is Abelian of exponent 2. We attach to such a pointed Hopf algebra a generalized simply-laced Cartan matrix; we conjecture that the Hopf algebra is finite-dimensional if and only if the Cartan matrix is of finite type. We prove the conjecture for the types A_n and A_n⁽¹⁾. We obtain the classification of all possible Hopf algebras with Cartan matrix A_n. We use the lifting method developed by Hans-Jürgen Schneider and the first-named author. Presented by S. MontgomeryMathematics Subject Classifications (2000) Primary: 17B37; secondary: 16W30.This work was partially supported by CONICET, Agencia Córdoba Ciencia – CONICOR, FOMEC and Secyt (UNC).     

More on the Hochschild and Cyclic Homologies of Crossed Modules of Algebras

We investigate the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of crossed modules of algebras in some special cases. We prove that the cotriple cyclic homology of a crossed module of algebras (I, A, ρ) is isomorphic to HC _*(ρ): HC _*(I) → HC _*(A), provided I is H-unital and the ground ring is a field with characteristic zero. We also calculate the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of a crossed module of algebras (R, 0, 0) for each algebra R with trivial multiplication. At the end, we give some applications proving a new five term exact sequence.     

Derived-tame Tree Algebras

In this note we classify the derived-tame tree algebras up to derived equivalence. A tree algebra is a basic algebra A = kQ/I whose quiver Q is a tree. The algebra A is said to be derived-tame when the repetitive category  of A is tame. We show that the tree algebra A is derived-tame precisely when its Euler form _A is non-negative. Moreover, in this case, the derived equivalence class of A is determined by the following discrete invariants: The number of vertices, the corank and the Dynkin type of _A . Representatives of these derived equivalence classes of algebras are given by the following algebras: the hereditary algebras of finite or tame type, the tubular algebras and a certain class of poset algebras, the so-called semichain-algebras which we introduce below.     

New criteria for <Emphasis Type="Italic">λ</Emphasis>-Koszul algebras

The main purpose of this paper is to provide some new criteria for a standard graded algebra A = ⊕ _i≥0 A _i to be a λ-Koszul algebra, which was first introduced in [12] and was another class of “Koszul-type” algebras including Koszul and d-Koszul algebras as special examples.     

A Note on K-Theory of Azumaya Algebras

For an Azumaya algebra A which is free over its centre R, we prove that K-theory of A is isomorphic to K-theory of R up to its rank torsions. We conclude that K _i (A, ?/m) = K _i (R, ?/m) for any m relatively prime to the rank and i ≥ 0. This covers, for example, K-theory of division algebras, K-theory of Azumaya algebras over semilocal rings, and K-theory of graded central simple algebras indexed by a totally ordered abelian group.     

The Yoneda Algebra of a 𝒦2 Algebra Need not be Another 𝒦2 Algebra

The Yoneda algebra of a Koszul algebra or a D-Koszul algebra is Koszul. 𝒦₂ algebras are a natural generalization of Koszul algebras, and one would hope that the Yoneda algebra of a 𝒦₂ algebra would be another 𝒦₂ algebra. We show that this is not necessarily the case by constructing a monomial 𝒦₂ algebra for which the corresponding Yoneda algebra is not 𝒦₂.     

Ternary Derivations of Generalized Cayley–Dickson Algebras

Abstract

Ternary derivations, ternary Cayley derivations and ternary automorphisms are computed over fields of characteristic ≠ 2, 3 for the algebras A _t obtained by the Cayley–Dickson duplication process. While the derivation algebra of A _t stops growing after t = 3, the ternary derivation algebra significantly decreases in the step from the octonions A ₃ to the sedenions A ₄, revealing the symmetry lost on that stage.     

On tortkara triple systems

The commutator [a,b] = ab?ba in a free Zinbiel algebra (dual Leibniz algebra) is an anticommutative operation which satisfies no new relations in arity 3. Dzhumadildaev discovered a relation T(a,b,c,d) which he called the tortkara identity and showed that it implies every relation satisfied by the Zinbiel commutator in arity 4. Kolesnikov constructed examples of anticommutative algebras satisfying T(a,b,c,d) which cannot be embedded into the commutator algebra of a Zinbiel algebra. We consider the tortkara triple product [a,b,c] = [[a,b],c] in a free Zinbiel algebra and use computer algebra to construct a relation TT(a,b,c,d,e) which implies every relation satisfied by [a,b,c] in arity 5. Thus, although tortkara algebras are defined by a cubic binary operad (with no Koszul dual), the corresponding triple systems are defined by a quadratic ternary operad (with a Koszul dual). We use computer algebra to construct a relation in arity 7 satisfied by [a,b,c] which does not follow from the relations of lower arity. It remains an open problem to determine whether there are further new identities in arity n≥9.     

A Decomposition Theorem for CK1 of Central Simple Algebras

Let A be a central simple algebra over its center F. Define CK₁ A = Coker(K₁ F → K₁ A). We prove that if A and B are F-central simple algebras of coprime degrees, then CK₁(A? _F B) = CK₁ A × CK₁ B.     

Koszulity and Koszul modules of dual extension algebras

Let A and B be algebras, and let T be the dual extension algebra of A and B. We provide a different method to prove that T is Koszul if and only if both A and B are Koszul. Furthermore, we prove that an algebra is Koszul if and only if one of its iterated dual extension algebras is Koszul, if and only if all its iterated dual extension algebras are Koszul. Finally, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a dual extension algebra to have the property that all linearly presented modules are Koszul modules, which provides an effective way to construct algebras with such a property.     

The graded Gelfand--Kirillov dimension of verbally prime algebras

Let E be the infinite-dimensional Grassmann algebra over a field F of characteristic 0. In this article, we consider the verbally prime algebras M _n (F), M _n (E) and M _a,b (E) endowed with their gradings induced by that of Vasilovsky, and we compute their graded Gelfand--Kirillov dimensions.     

The center of the 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebras

LetA=A(E, ) denote either the 3-dimensional or 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebra associated to an elliptic curveE and a point E. Assume that the base field is algebraically closed, and that its characteristic does not divide the dimension ofA. It is known thatA is a finite module over its center if and only if is of finite order. Generators and defining relations for the centerZ(A) are given. IfS=Proj(Z(A)) andA is the sheaf ofO _S -algebras defined byA(S _(f))=A[f ^–1]₀ then the centerL ofA is described. For example, for the 3-dimensional Sklyanin algebra we obtain a new proof of M. Artin's result thatSpec L². However, for the 4-dimensional Sklyanin algebra there is not such a simple result: althoughSpec L is rational and normal, it is singular. We describe its singular locus, which is also the non-Azumaya locus ofA.
