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.     

Cleft extensions of Koszul twisted Calabi–Yau algebras

Let H be a twisted Calabi–Yau (CY) Hopf algebra and σ a 2-cocycle on H. Let A be an N-Koszul twisted CY algebra such that A is a graded H^σ- module algebra. We show that the cleft extension A#_σH is also a twisted CY algebra. This result has two consequences. Firstly, the smash product of an N-Koszul twisted CY algebra with a twisted CY Hopf algebra is still a twisted CY algebra. Secondly, the cleft objects of a twisted CY Hopf algebra are all twisted CY algebras. As an application of this property, we determine which cleft objects of U(D, λ), a class of pointed Hopf algebras introduced by Andruskiewitsch and Schneider, are Calabi–Yau algebras.     

Stratified modules over an extension algebra

Let A be a standard Koszul standardly stratified algebra and X an A-module. The paper investigates conditions which imply that the module Ext* _A (X) over the Yoneda extension algebra A* is filtered by standard modules. In particular, we prove that the Yoneda extension algebra of A is also standardly stratified. This is a generalization of similar results on quasi-hereditary and on graded standardly stratified algebras.     

Associative homotopy Lie algebras and Wronskians

We analyze representations of Schlessinger-Stasheff associative homotopy Lie algebras by higher-order differential operators. W-transformations of chiral embeddings of a complex curve related with the Toda equations into Kähler manifolds are shown to be endowed with the homotopy Lie-algebra structures. Extensions of the Wronskian determinants preserving Schlessinger-Stasheff algebras are constructed for the case of n ≥ 1 independent variables.     

The Injective Leavitt Complex

For a finite quiver Q without sinks, we consider the corresponding finite dimensional algebra A with radical square zero. We construct an explicit compact generator for the homotopy category of acyclic complexes of injective A-modules. We call such a generator the injective Leavitt complex of Q. This terminology is justified by the following result: the differential graded endomorphism algebra of the injective Leavitt complex of Q is quasi-isomorphic to the Leavitt path algebra of Q. Here, the Leavitt path algebra is naturally \(\mathbb {Z}\)-graded and viewed as a differential graded algebra with trivial differential.     

Family algebras and generalized exponents for polyvector representations of simple Lie algebras of type <Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

We give an explicit formula for the exterior powers ∧ ^k π ₁ of the defining representation π ₁ of the simple Lie algebra ?ο(2n + 1, ?). We use the technique of family algebras. All representations in question are children of the spinor representation σ of g2ο(2n + 1, ?). We also give a survey of main results on family algebras.     

Path <Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript>∞</Subscript> algebras of positively graded quivers

Let A be a path A_∞-algebra over a positively graded quiver Q: We prove that the derived category of A is triangulated equivalent to the derived category of kQ; which is viewed as a DG algebra with trivial differential. The main technique used in the proof is Koszul duality for DG algebras.     

Off-Shell Supersymmetry and Filtered Clifford Supermodules

An off-shell representation of supersymmetry is a representation of the super Poincaré algebra on a dynamically unconstrained space of fields. We describe such representations formally, in terms of the fields and their spacetime derivatives, and we interpret the physical concept of engineering dimension as an integral grading. We prove that formal graded off-shell representations of one-dimensional N-extended supersymmetry, i.e., the super Poincaré algebra \(\mathfrak {p}^{1|N}\), correspond to filtered Clifford supermodules over Cl(N). We also prove that formal graded off-shell representations of two-dimensional (p,q)-supersymmetry, i.e., the super Poincaré algebra \(\mathfrak {p}^{1,1|p,q}\), correspond to bifiltered Clifford supermodules over Cl(p + q). Our primary tools are Rees superalgebras and Rees supermodules, the formal deformations of filtered superalgebras and supermodules, which give a one-to-one correspondence between filtered spaces and graded spaces with even degree-shifting injections. This generalizes the machinery used by Gerstenhaber to prove that every filtered algebra is a deformation of its associated graded algebra. Our treatment extends the notion of Rees algebras and modules to filtrations which are compatible with a supersymmetric structure. We also describe the analogous constructions for bifiltrations and bigradings.     

Quadratic algebras with Ext algebras generated in two degrees

Green and Marcos (2005) [2] call a graded k-algebra δ-Koszul if the corresponding Yoneda algebra is finitely generated and there exists a function δ:N→N such that is zero if j≠δ(i). For any integer m≥3 we exhibit a noncommutative quadratic δ-Koszul algebra for which the Yoneda algebra is generated in degrees (1,1) and (m,m+1). These examples answer a question of Green and Marcos. These algebras are not Koszul but m-Koszul (in the sense of Backelin).     

A characteristic property of the algebra <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>(Ω)<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">ß</Emphasis></Subscript>

We study some properties of the algebras of continuous functions on a locally compact space whose topology is defined by the family of all multiplication operators (β-uniform algebras). We introduce the notion of a β-amenable algebra and show that a β-uniform algebra is β-amenable if and only if it coincides with the algebra of bounded functions on a locally compact space (an analog of M. V. She?nberg’s theorem for uniform algebras).     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-cubic Pyramid Algebras

In this paper we study a class of algebras having n-dimensional pyramid shaped quiver with n-cubic cells, which we called n-cubic pyramid algebras. This class of algebras includes the quadratic dual of the basic n-Auslander absolutely n-complete algebras introduced by Iyama. We show that the projective resolutions of the simples of n-cubic pyramid algebras can be characterized by n-cuboids, and prove that they are periodic. So these algebras are almost Koszul and (n?1)-translation algebras. We also recover Iyama’s cone construction for n-Auslander absolutely n-complete algebras using n-cubic pyramid algebras and the theory of n-translation algebras.     

A Characterization of Stem Algebras in Terms of Central Derivations

Let L be a Lie algebra, and Der _z (L) denote the set of all central derivations of L, that is, the set of all derivations of L mapping L into the center. In this paper, by using the notion of isoclinism, we study the center of Der _z (L) for nilpotent Lie algebras with nilindex 2. We also give a characterization of stem Lie algebras by their central derivations. In fact we show that for non-abelian nilpotent Lie algebras of finite dimension and any nilpotent Lie algebra with nilindex 2 (not finite dimensional in general), Der _z (L) is abelian if and only if L is a stem Lie algebra.     

Koszul property of a class of graded algebras with nonpure resolutions

Given any integers a, b, c, and d with a > 1, c ≥ 0, b ≥ a + c, and d ≥ b + c, the notion of (a, b, c, d)-Koszul algebra is introduced, which is another class of standard graded algebras with “nonpure” resolutions, and includes many Artin-Schelter regular algebras of low global dimension as specific examples. Some basic properties of (a, b, c, d)-Koszul algebras/modules are given, and several criteria for a standard graded algebra to be (a, b, c, d)-Koszul are provided.     

Degenerations of Submodules and Composition Series

Let M and N be modules over an artin algebra such that M degenerates to N. We show that any submodule of M degenerates to a submodule of N. This suggests that a composition series of M will in some sense degenerate to a composition series of N. We then study a subvariety of the module variety, consisting of those representations where all matrices are upper triangular. We show that these representations can be seen as representations of composition series, and that the orbit closures describe the above mentioned degeneration of composition series.     

Twisted Generalized Weyl Algebras and Primitive Quotients of Enveloping Algebras

To each multiquiver Γ we attach a solution to the consistency equations associated to twisted generalized Weyl (TGW) algebras. This generalizes several previously obtained solutions in the literature. We show that the corresponding algebras \(\mathcal {A}({\Gamma })\) carry a canonical representation by differential operators and that \(\mathcal {A}({\Gamma })\) is universal among all TGW algebras with such a representation. We also find explicit conditions in terms of Γ for when this representation is faithful or locally surjective. By forgetting some of the structure of Γ one obtains a Dynkin diagram, D(Γ). We show that the generalized Cartan matrix of \(\mathcal {A}({\Gamma })\) coincides with the one corresponding to D(Γ) and that \(\mathcal {A}({\Gamma })\) contains graded homomorphic images of the enveloping algebra of the positive and negative part of the corresponding Kac-Moody algebra. Finally, we show that a primitive quotient U/J of the enveloping algebra of a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is graded isomorphic to a TGW algebra if and only if J is the annihilator of a completely pointed (multiplicity-free) simple weight module. The infinite-dimensional primitive quotients in types A and C are closely related to \(\mathcal {A}({\Gamma })\) for specific Γ. We also prove one result in the affine case.     

Quasi-state rigidity for finite-dimensional Lie algebras

We say that a Lie algebra g is quasi-state rigid if every Ad-invariant continuous Lie quasi-state on it is the directional derivative of a homogeneous quasimorphism. Extending work of Entov and Polterovich, we show that every reductive Lie algebra, as well as the algebras C ⁿ ? u(n), n ≥ 1, are rigid. On the other hand, a Lie algebra which surjects onto the three-dimensional Heisenberg algebra is not rigid. For Lie algebras of dimension ≤ 3 and for solvable Lie algebras which split over a codimension one abelian ideal, we show that this is the only obstruction to rigidity.     

Characterization of 2-Local Derivations and Local Lie Derivations on Some Algebras

We prove that each 2-local derivation from the algebra M_n(A ) (n > 2) into its bimodule M_n(M) is a derivation, where A is a unital Banach algebra and M is a unital A -bimodule such that each Jordan derivation from A into M is an inner derivation, and that each 2-local derivation on a C*-algebra with a faithful traceable representation is a derivation. We also characterize local and 2-local Lie derivations on some algebras such as von Neumann algebras, nest algebras, the Jiang–Su algebra, and UHF algebras.     

DISTINGUISHED PRE-NICHOLS ALGEBRAS

We formally define and study the distinguished pre-Nichols algebra \( \tilde{B} \)(V) of a braided vector space of diagonal type V with finite-dimensional Nichols algebra B(V). The algebra \( \tilde{B} \)(V) is presented by fewer relations than B(V), so it is intermediate between the tensor algebra T(V) and B(V). Prominent examples of distinguished pre-Nichols algebras are the positive parts of quantized enveloping (super)algebras and their multiparametric versions. We prove that these algebras give rise to new examples of Noetherian pointed Hopf algebras of finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. We investigate the kernel (in the sense of Hopf algebras) of the projection from \( \tilde{B} \)(V) to B(V), generalizing results of De Concini and Procesi on quantum groups at roots of unity.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-Non-Linear Second Quantization

We construct an inductive system of C*-algebras each of which is isomorphic to a finite tensor product of copies of the one-mode n-th degree polynomial extension of the usual Weyl algebra constructed in our previous paper (Accardi and Dhahri in Open Syst Inf Dyn 22(3):1550001, 2015). We prove that the inductive limit C*-algebra is factorizable and has a natural localization given by a family of C*-sub-algebras each of which is localized on a bounded Borel subset of \({\mathbb{R}}\). Finally, we prove that the corresponding family of Fock states, defined on the inductive family of C*-algebras, is projective if and only if n = 1. This is a weak form of the no-go theorems which emerge in the study of representations of current algebras over Lie algebras.
