Bimodules over nest algebras and Deddens' theorem

We generalize Deddens' theorem for nest algebras in the case of w*-closed nest algebras bimodules. For each such bimodule, we introduce a norm closed sub-bimodule of it, which corresponds to the radical of a nest algebra and describe it in a number of ways, generalizing known facts about nest algebras.

     

Higher-dimensional virtual diagonals and ideal cohomology for triangular algebras

We investigate the cohomology of non-self-adjoint algebras using virtual diagonals and their higher-dimensional generalizations. We show that infinite dimensional nest algebras always have non-zero second cohomology by showing that they cannot possess 2-virtual diagonals. In the case of the upper triangular atomic nest algebra we exhibit concrete modules for non-vanishing cohomology.

Extreme points in triangular UHF algebras

We examine the strongly extreme point structure of the unit balls of triangular UHF algebras. The semisimple triangular UHF algebras are characterized as those for which this structure is minimal in the sense that every strongly extreme point belongs to the diagonal. In contrast to this, for the class of full nest algebras we prove a Krein-Milman type theorem which asserts that every operator in the open unit ball of the algebra is a convex combination of strongly extreme points.

Association Schemes and Fusion Algebras (An Introduction)

We introduce the concept of fusion algebras at algebraic level, as a purely algebraic concept for the fusion algebras which appear in conformal field theory in mathematical physics. We first discuss the connection between fusion algebras at algebraic level and character algebras, a purely algebraic concept for Bose-Mesner algebras of association schemes. Through this correspondence, we establish the condition when the matrix S of a fusion algebra at algebraic level is unitary or symmetric. We construct integral fusion algebras at algebraic level, from association schemes, in particular from group association schemes, whose matrix S is unitary and symmetric. Finally, we consider whether the modular invariance property is satisfied or not, namely whether there exists a diagonal matrix T satisfying the condition (ST)³ = S ². We prove that this property does not hold for some integral fusion algebras at algebraic level coming from the group association scheme of certain groups of order 64, and we also prove that the (nonintegral) fusion algebra at algebraic level obtained from the Hamming association scheme H(d, q) has the modular invariance property.     

Representation Dimension and Quasi-hereditary Algebras

We study Auslander's representation dimension of Artin algebras, which is by definition the minimal projective dimension of coherent functors on modules which are both generators and cogenerators. We show the following statements: (1) if an Artin algebra A is stably hereditary, then the representation dimension of A is at most 3. (2) If two Artin algebras are stably equivalent of Morita type, then they have the same representation dimension. Particularly, if two self-injective algebras are derived equivalent, then they have the same representation dimension. (3) Any incidence algebra of a finite partially ordered set over a field has finite representation dimension. Moreover, we use results on quasi-hereditary algebras to show that (4) the Auslander algebra of a Nakayama algebra has finite representation dimension.     

Algebras Defined from Ordered Sets and the Varieties they Generate

We investigate ways of representing ordered sets as algebras and how the order relation is reflected in the algebraic properties of the variety (equational class) generated by these algebras. In particular we consider two different but related methods for constructing an algebra with one binary operation from an arbitrary ordered set with a top element. The two varieties generated by all these algebras are shown to be well-behaved in that they are locally finite, finitely based, and have an equationally definable order relation. We exhibit a bijection between the subdirectly irreducible algebras in each variety and the class of all ordered sets with top element. We determine the structure and cardinality of the free algebra on n-free generators and provide sharp bounds on the number of n-generated algebras in each variety. These enumeration results involve the number of quasi-orders on an n-element set.     

Finite vs affine W-algebras

In Section 1 we review various equivalent definitions of a vertex algebra V. The main novelty here is the definition in terms of an indefinite integral of the λ-bracket. In Section 2 we construct, in the most general framework, the Zhu algebra Zhu_ΓV, an associative algebra which “controls” Γ-twisted representations of the vertex algebra V with a given Hamiltonian operator H. An important special case of this construction is the H-twisted Zhu algebra Zhu_H V. In Section 3 we review the theory of non-linear Lie conformal algebras (respectively non-linear Lie algebras). Their universal enveloping vertex algebras (resp. universal enveloping algebras) form an important class of freely generated vertex algebras (resp. PBW generated associative algebras). We also introduce the H-twisted Zhu non-linear Lie algebra Zhu_H R of a non-linear Lie conformal algebra R and we show that its universal enveloping algebra is isomorphic to the H-twisted Zhu algebra of the universal enveloping vertex algebra of R. After a discussion of the necessary cohomological material in Section 4, we review in Section 5 the construction and basic properties of affine and finite W-algebras, obtained by the method of quantum Hamiltonian reduction. Those are some of the most intensively studied examples of freely generated vertex algebras and PBW generated associative algebras. Applying the machinery developed in Sections 3 and 4, we then show that the H-twisted Zhu algebra of an affine W-algebra is isomorphic to the finite W-algebra, attached to the same data. In Section 6 we define the Zhu algebra of a Poisson vertex algebra, and we discuss quasiclassical limits. In the Appendix, the equivalence of three definitions of a finite W-algebra is established. “I am an old man, and I know that a definition cannot be so complicated.” I.M.

Poisson color algebras of arbitrary degree

A Poisson algebra is a Lie algebra endowed with a commutative associative product in such a way that the Lie and associative products are compatible via a Leibniz rule. If we part from a Lie color algebra, instead of a Lie algebra, a graded-commutative associative product and a graded-version Leibniz rule we get a so-called Poisson color algebra (of degree zero). This concept can be extended to any degree, so as to obtain the class of Poisson color algebras of arbitrary degree. This class turns out to be a wide class of algebras containing the ones of Lie color algebras (and so Lie superalgebras and Lie algebras), Poisson algebras, graded Poisson algebras, z-Poisson algebras, Gerstenhaber algebras, and Schouten algebras among other classes of algebras. The present paper is devoted to the study of structure of Poisson color algebras of degree g₀, where g₀ is some element of the grading group G such that g₀ = 0 or 4g₀≠0, and with restrictions neither on the dimension nor the base field, by stating a second Wedderburn-type theorem for this class of algebras.     

Order Continuity of Locally Compact Boolean Algebras

The main purpose of this paper is to exhibit the decisive role that order continuity plays in the structure of locally compact Boolean algebras as well as in that of atomic topological Boolean algebras. We prove that the following three conditions are equivalent for a topological Boolean algebra B: (1) B is compact; (2) B is locally compact, Boolean complete, order continuous; (3) B is Boolean complete, atomic and order continuous. Note that under the discrete topology any Boolean algebra is locally compact.     

CONTINUITY AND LINEARITY OF ADDITIVE DERIVATIONS OF NEST ALGEBRAS ON BANACH SPACES

This paper discusses the problem concerning the continuity and linearity of additive derivation of nest algebras on normed spaces. It is proved that every linear derivation of a nest algebraalgN is continuous provided that one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) 0 (?) 0. (2)X_ (?) X. (3) there exists a non-trivial idempotent p in algN such that the range of p belongsto N. It is also proved that every additive derivation of a nest algebra is automatically linearif the underlying normed space is infinite dimemnsional.

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.

The Magnus Embedding for Right-Symmetric Algebras

We construct a basis for the universal multiplicative enveloping algebra U(A) of a right-symmetric algebra A. We prove an analog of the Magnus embedding for right-symmetric algebras; i.e., we prove that a right-symmetric algebra A/R ², where A is a free right-symmetric algebra, is embedded into the algebra of triangular matrices of the second order.
