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.     

Isomorphisms between Semisimple Weighted Measure Algebras

It is shown that, if is an isomorphism between semisimple weightedmeasure algebras M(w₁) and M(w₂), then maps L¹(R⁺, w₁) ontoL¹(R⁺, w₂). This is used to describe all the automorphisms ofM(R⁺, w). A necessary and sufficient condition is given forM(w₁) and M(w₂) to be isomorphic.

Semilocal Group Algebras

Let k[G] be a semilocal group algebra. It is shown that if k is an algebraically closed field, then every finitely generated flat k[G]-module is projective.     

Generalising Group Algebras

We generalise group algebras to other algebraic objects withbounded Hilbert space representation theory; the generalisedgroup algebras are called ‘host’ algebras. The mainproperty of a host algebra is that its representation theoryshould be isomorphic (in the sense of the Gelfand–Raikovtheorem) to a specified subset of representations of the algebraicobject. Here we obtain both existence and uniqueness theoremsfor host algebras as well as general structure theorems forhost algebras. Abstractly, this solves the question of whena set of Hilbert space representations is isomorphic to therepresentation theory of a C*-algebra. To make contact withharmonic analysis, we consider general convolution algebrasassociated to representation sets, and consider conditions fora convolution algebra to be a host algebra.     

Expanders In Group Algebras

Let G be a finite group and let p be a prime such that (p, |G|) = 1. We study conditions under which the Abelian group _p [G] has a few G-orbits whose union generate it as an expander (equivalently, all the discrete Fourier coefficients (in absolute value) of this generating set are bounded away uniformly from one).We prove a (nearly sharp) bound on the distribution of dimensions of irreducible representations of G which implies the existence of such expanding orbits. We further show a class of groups for which such a bound follows from the expansion properties of G. Together, these lead to a new iterative construction of expanding Cayley graphs of nearly constant degree.     

Commuting Graphs of Group Algebras

The commuting graph of a ring R, denoted by Γ(R), is a graph of all whose vertices are noncentral elements of R, and 2 distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy = yx. In this article we investigate some graph-theoretic properties of Γ(kG), where G is a finite group, k is a field, and 0 ≠ |G| ∈k. Among other results it is shown that if G is a finite nonabelian group and k is an algebraically closed field, then Γ(kG) is not connected if and only if |G| = 6 or 8. For an arbitrary field k, we prove that Γ(kG) is connected if G is a nonabelian finite simple group or G′ ≠ G″ and G″ ≠ 1.     

Hecke Algebras of Group Extensions

Abstract

We describe the Hecke algebra ?(Γ,Γ₀) of a Hecke pair (Γ,Γ₀) in terms of the Hecke pair (N,Γ₀) where N is a normal subgroup of Γ containing Γ₀. To do this, we introduce twisted crossed products of unital *-algebras by semigroups. Then, provided a certain semigroup S ? Γ/N satisfies S ^?1 S = Γ/N, we show that ? (Γ,Γ₀) is the twisted crossed product of ? (N,Γ₀) by S. This generalizes a recent theorem of Laca and Larsen about Hecke algebras of semidirect products.     

Isometric Isomorphisms Between Banach Algebras Related to a Certain Class of Clifford Topological Semigroups

In the present paper it is shown that if S₁ and S₂ are two Clifford topological semigroups satisfying certain conditions and T is an isometric isomorphism of LUC(S₁*) onto LUC(S₂*), then T maps S₁ topologically isomorphically onto S₂. Furthermore, T maps M ^l _n(S₁) (M(S₁), respectively) isometrically isomorphically onto M ^l _n(S₂) (M(S₂), respectively). Indeed, we have obtained a generalization of a well-known result of Ghahramani, Lau and Losert for locally compact groups to a more general setting of Clifford topological semigroups.     

On Centralizer Subalgebras of Group Algebras

Let G be a finite group, H ≤ G and R be a commutative ring with an identity 1R. Let CRG（H）={α ∈ RG｜αh = hα for all h ∈ H）, which is called the centralizer subalgebra of H in RG. Obviously, if H=G then CRG（H） is just the central subalgebra Z（RG） of RG. In this note, we show that the set of all H- conjugacy class sums of G forms an R-basis of CRG（H）. Furthermore, let N be a normal subgroup of G and γthe natural epimorphism from G to G to G/N. Then γ induces an epimorphism from RG to RG, also denoted by % We also show that if R is a field of characteristic zero, then γ induces an epimorphism from CRG（H） to CRG（H）, that is, 7（CRG（H）） = CRG（H）.     

On Centralizer Subalgebras of Group Algebras

Let $G$ be a finite group, $H ≤ G$ and $R$ be a commutative ring withan identity $1_R$. Let $C_{RG}(H) = { α ∈ RG|αh= hα$ for all $h ∈ H }$, which is calledthe centralizer subalgebra of $H$ in $RG$. Obviously, if $H = G$ then $C_{RG}(H)$ is justthe central subalgebra $Z(RG)$ of $RG$. In this note, we show that the set of all $H$-conjugacy class sums of $G$ forms an $R$-basis of $C_{RG}(H)$. Furthermore, let $N$ be anormal subgroup of $G$ and $γ$ the natural epimorphism from $G$ to $overline{G}= G/N$. Then $γ$ induces an epimorphism from $RG$ to $Roverline{G}$, also denoted by $γ$. We also show that if $R$ is a field of characteristic zero, then $γ$ induces an epimorphism from $C_{RG}(H)$ to $C_{Roverline{G}}(overline{H})$, that is, $γ(C_{RG}(H)) = C_{Roverline{G}}(overline{H})$.

Intertwining Maps from Certain Group Algebras

In [17, 18, 19], we began to investigate the continuity propertiesof homomorphisms from (non-abelian) group algebras. Alreadyin [19], we worked with general intertwining maps [3, 12]. Thesemaps not only provide a unified approach to both homomorphismsand derivations, but also have some significance in their ownright in connection with the cohomology comparison problem [4]. The present paper is a continuation of [17, 18, 19]; this timewe focus on groups which are connected or factorizable in thesense of [26]. In [26], G. A. Willis showed that if G is a connectedor factorizable, locally compact group, then every derivationfrom L¹(G) into a Banach L¹(G)-module is automatically continuous.For general intertwining maps from L¹(G), this conclusion isfalse: if G is connected and, for some nN, has an infinite numberof inequivalent, n-dimensional, irreducible unitary representations,then there is a discontinuous homomorphism from L¹(G into aBanach algebra by [18, Theorem 2.2] (provided that the continuumhypothesis is assumed). Hence, for an arbitrary intertwiningmap from L¹(G), the best we can reasonably hope for is a resultasserting the continuity of on a ‘large’, preferablydense subspace of L¹(G). Even if the target space of is a Banachmodule (which implies that the continuity ideal I() of is closed),it is not a priori evident that is automatically continuous:the proofs of the automatic continuity theorems in [26] relyon the fact that we can always confine ourselves to restrictionsto L¹(G) of derivations from M(G) [25, Lemmas 3.1 and 3.4].It is not clear if this strategy still works for an arbitraryintertwining map from L¹(G) into a Banach L¹(G)-module.
