Algèbre de Temperley–Lieb de type B

We give a dual presentation, in the sense of the dual presentation of Artin groups, of the Temperley–Lieb algebra of type B. In particular, we obtain a basis of this algebra by considering the homomorphic images of the simple elements of the dual monoid. This algebra is the largest quotient of the Hecke algebra whose irreducible representations are parametrized by pairs of Young diagrams with at most one column in each component.

La construction bar d'une algèbre comme algèbre de Hopf E-infini

We prove that the bar construction of an E_∞ algebra forms an E_∞ algebra. To be more precise, we provide the bar construction of an algebra over the surjection operad with the structure of a Hopf algebra over the Barratt–Eccles operad. (The surjection operad and the Barratt–Eccles operad are classical E_∞ operads.) To cite this article: B. Fresse, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 337 (2003).     

Parametrization of Abelian K-surfaces with quaternionic multiplication

Determinants of Period Matrices and an Application to Selberg's Multidimensional Beta Integral

In work on critical values of linear functions and hyperplane arrangements, A. Varchenko (Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR Ser. Mat.53 (1989), 1206–1235; 54 (1990), 146–158) defined certain period matrices whose entries are Euler-type integrals representing hypergeometric functions of several variables and derived remarkable closed-form expressions for the determinants of those matrices. In this article, we present elementary proofs of some of Varchenko's determinant formulas. By the same method, we obtain proofs of variations of Varchenko's determinants. As an application, we deduce new proofs of the multidimensional beta integrals of Selberg and of Aomoto. Further, we obtain a new proof of a determinant formula of A. Varchenko (Funct. Anal. Appl.25 (1999), 304–305) in which the entries are multidimensional Selberg-type integrals.     

Ext groups in the category of bimodules over a simple Leibniz algebra

In this article, we generalize Loday and Pirashvili's [11] computation of the Ext-category of Leibniz bimodules for a simple Lie algebra to the case of a simple (non Lie) Leibniz algebra. Most of the arguments generalize easily, while the main new ingredient is the Feldvoss-Wagemann's cohomology vanishing theorem for semi-simple Leibniz algebras.     

Compression différentielle de transitoires bruités

The analysis and compression of noisy transient signals are handled via methods stemming from elementary differential algebra, noncommutative algebra and operational calculus. The efficiency of our approach is illustrated by an academic example and a more concrete case-study which is a musical signal. To cite this article: M. Fliess et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

Algèbres de Hopf colibres

We prove a structure theorem for the cofree Hopf algebras: such a Hopf algebra is the universal enveloping dipterous algebra of its primitive part. A dipterous algebra is an associative algebra equipped with a structure of left module over itself. This theorem is a consequence of an analogue, in the non-cocommutative framework, of the Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt theorem and of the Milnor–Moore theorem. To cite this article: J.-L. Loday, M.

The Lie algebra structure of the first Hochschild cohomology group for monomial algebrasLa structure d'algèbre de Lie du premier groupe de la cohomologie de Hochschild pour des algèbres monomiales

We study the Lie algebra structure of the first Hochschild cohomology group of a finite dimensional monomial algebra Λ, in terms of the combinatorics of its quiver, in any characteristic. This allows us also to examine the identity component of the algebraic group of outer automorphisms of Λ in characteristic zero. Criteria for the solvability, the (semi-) simplicity, the commutativity and the nilpotency are given. To cite this article: C. Strametz, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 334 (2002) 733–738.     

Cup products in Hopf-cyclic cohomology

We construct cup products of two different kinds for Hopf-cyclic cohomology. When the Hopf algebra reduces to the ground field our first cup product reduces to Connes' cup product in ordinary cyclic cohomology. The second cup product generalizes Connes–Moscovici's characteristic map for actions of Hopf algebras on algebras. To cite this article: M. Khalkhali, B. Rangipour, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

An algebraic construction of the generic singularities of Boardman-Thom

In this paper we study some of the functorial properties of the infinite jet space in order to give a coordinate free algebraic definition of the generic singularities of Boardman-Thom. More precisely, suppose thatk is a commutative ring with an identity and suppose that A is a commutative ring with an identity which is ak-algebra. An A-k-Lie algebra L is ak-Lie algebra with ak-Lie algebra map ? from L to the algebra ofk-derivations of A to itself such that ford, d′εL anda, a′εA, then $$[ad'],a 'd'] = a(\varphi (d')ad' - a'(\varphi (d')a)d' + aa'[d',\;d'].$$ . There is a universal enveloping algebra for such Lie algebras which we denote by E(L). Denote byL-alg the category of A-algebras B which have L and hence E(L) acting as left operators such that foraεA,dεL, (da)i _B=d(a.i _B). If F is the forgetful functor fromL-alg to the category of A-algebras, we show that F has a left adjoint J(L, ·) which is the natural algebraic translation of the infinite jet space. In the third section of this paper we construct a theory of singularities for a derivation from a ring to a module and then we apply this construction to J(L, C) where C is an A-algebra. These singularities are subschemas with defining sheaf of ideals given by Fitting invariants of appropriately chosen modules when A and B are polynomial rings over a fieldk and C=A? _k B; these are the generic singularities of Boardman-Thom. Finally we show that, under some rather general conditions on the structure of C as an A-algebra, the generic singularities are regular immersions in the sense of Berthelot.     

Automorphismes des algèbres cubiques

Manin associated to a quadratic algebra (quantum space) the quantum matrix group of its automorphisms. This Note aims to demonstrate that Manin's construction can be extended for quantum spaces which are non-quadratic homogeneous algebras. The Artin–Schelter classification of regular algebras of global dimension three contains two types of algebra: quadratic and cubic. Ewen and Ogievetsky classified the quantum matrix groups which are deformations of GL(3) corresponding to the quadratic algebras in the Artin–Schelter classification. In this Note we consider the cubic Artin–Schelter algebras as quantum spaces and construct Hopf algebras of their automorphisms. To cite this article: T. Popov, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser.

Poisson (co)homology of truncated polynomial algebras in two variables

We study the Poisson (co)homology of the algebra of truncated polynomials in two variables viewed as the semi-classical limit of a quantum complete intersection studied by Bergh and Erdmann. We show in particular that the Poisson cohomology ring of such a Poisson algebra is isomorphic to the Hochschild cohomology ring of the corresponding quantum complete intersection.

N-complexes et algèbres de Hopf

Simple components of group algebras Q[G] central over real quadratic fields

Let k be a real quadratic field, and $\text{U}$ a central division quaternion algebra over k. In this paper sufficient conditions are given to insure that $\text{U}$ appears in a simple component of the group algebra Q[G] of some finite group G over the rational field Q. In particular, when k is assumed to be Q(√2) or Q(√5), the necessary and sufficient conditions for $\text{U}$ to appear in some Q[G] are given.     

Symplectic resolutions for nilpotent orbits (II)

Based on our previous work, Fu (Invent. Math. 151 (2003) 167–186), we prove that, given any two projective symplectic resolutions Z₁ and Z₂ of a nilpotent orbit closure in a complex simple Lie algebra of classical type, Z₁ is deformation equivalent to Z₂. This provides support for a ‘folklore’ conjecture on symplectic resolutions for symplectic singularities. To cite this article: B. Fu, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 337 (2003).     

A canonical version for partition regular systems of linear equations

We prove a canonical (unrestricted) version of Deuber's partition theorem for (m, p, c)-sets (Math. Z. 133 (1973), 109–123). This implies a canonical result for partition regular systems of linear equations studied by Rado (Math. Z. 36 (1933), 424–480). This is a common generalization of former results of Erdös and Graham (Enseign. Math. 28 (1980)) concerning arithmetic progressions and of Prömel and Voigt (J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 35, 309–327) concerning the so-called Rado-Folkman-Sanders theorem on finite sums.     

Quasicrystals,aperiodic order,and groupoid von Neumann algebras

We introduce tight binding operators for quasicrystals that are parametrized by Delone sets. These operators can be regarded in a natural operator algebra framework that encodes the long range aperiodic order. This algebraic point of view allows us to study spectral theoretic properties. In particular, the integrated density of states of the tight binding operators is related to a canonical trace on the associated von Neumann algebra. To cite this article: D. Lenz, P. Stollmann, C.
