Jordan Algebras Over Algebraic Varieties

General results on the module structure of Jordan algebras over locally ringed spaces are obtained. Albert algebras over a Brauer–Severi variety with associated central simple algebra of degree 3 are constructed using generalizations of the Tits process and the first Tits construction.

Isotopy and invariants of Albert algebras

Let k be a field with characteristic different from 2 and 3. Let B be a central simple algebra of degree 3 over a quadratic extension K/k, which admits involutions of second kind. In this paper, we prove that if the Albert algebras and have same and invariants, then they are isotopic. We prove that for a given Albert algebra J, there exists an Albert algebra J' with , and . We conclude with a construction of Albert division algebras, which are pure second Tits' constructions. Received: December 9, 1997.     

An Embedding Theorem for Reduced Albert Algebras Over Arbitrary Fields

Extending two classical embedding theorems of Albert and Jacobson and Jacobson for Albert (exceptional simple Jordan) algebra over fields of characteristic not two to base fields of arbitrary characteristic, we show that any element of a reduced Albert algebra can be embedded into a reduced absolutely simple subalgebra of degree 3 and dimension 9 which may be chosen to be split if the Albert algebra was split to begin with.     

Free Algebras over Biregularizations of Varieties

Let : F N be a type of algebras, where F is a set of fundamental operation symbols and N is the set of nonnegative integers. An identity of type is called biregular if the sets of variables in and are identical and the sets of fundamental operation symbols in and are identical. If K is a variety of type , we denote by K_b the variety of type defined by all biregular identities from Id(K). K_b will be called the biregularization of K. In this paper we give a representation of free algebras over K_b by means of free algebras over K.     

A Characterization of Homomorphisms Between Banach Algebras

We show that every unital invertibility preserving linear map from a yon Neumann algebra onto a semi-simple Banach algebra is a Jordan homomorphism; this gives an affirmative answer to a problem of Kaplansky for all yon Neumann algebras. For a unital linear map Ф from a semi-simple complex Banach algebra onto another, we also show that the following statements are equivalent: (1)Ф is an homomorphism; (2) Ф is completely invertibility preserving; (3) Ф is 2-invertibility preserving.     

Construction of Nilpotent Jordan Algebras Over any Arbitrary Field

The paper is devoted to the study of annihilator extensions of Jordan algebras and suggests new approach to classify nilpotent Jordan algebras, which is analogous to the Skjelbred–Sund method for classifying nilpotent Lie algebras [2 de Graaf, W. (2007). Classification of 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over fields of characteristic not 2. J. Algebra 309:640–653.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 4 Gong, M.-P. (1998).

Sur la classification des algèbres de Lie nilpotentes. C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Sér. A-B 286:241–242. [Google Scholar]]. Subsequently, we have classified nilpotent Jordan algebras of dimension up to four.

Support Varieties for Selfinjective Algebras

Support varieties for any finite dimensional algebra over a field were introduced in (Proc. London Math. Soc. 88 (3) (2004) 705–732) using graded subalgebras of the Hochschild cohomology ring. We mainly study these varieties for selfinjective algebras under appropriate finite generation hypotheses. Then many of the standard results from the theory of support varieties for finite groups generalize to this situation. In particular, the complexity of the module equals the dimension of its corresponding variety, all closed homogeneous varieties occur as the variety of some module, the variety of an indecomposable module is connected, the variety of periodic modules are lines and for symmetric algebras a generalization of Webbs theorem is true. As a corollary of a more general result we show that Webbs theorem generalizes to finite dimensional cocommutative Hopf algebras.Received November 2003Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) Primary: 16E40, 16G10, 16P10, 16P20; Secondary: 16G70.

Interpretability Types for Regular Varieties of Algebras

It is proved that for every regular variety V of algebras, an interpretability type [V] in the lattice is primary w.r.t. intersection, and so has at most one covering. Moreover, the sole covering, if any, for [V] is necessarily infinite. For a locally finite regular variety V, [V] has no covering. Cyclic varieties of algebras turn out to be particularly interesting among the regular. Each of these is a variety of n-groupoids (A; f) defined by an identity , where is an n-cycle of degree n 2. Interpretability types of the cyclic varieties form, in , a subsemilattice isomorphic to a semilattice of square-free natural numbers n 2, under taking m n=[m,n] (l.c.m.).     

A New Cyclic Module for Hopf Algebras

We define a new cyclic module, dual to the Connes–Moscovici cocyclic module, for Hopf algebras, and give a characteristic map for coactions of Hopf algebras. We also compute the resulting cyclic homology for cocommutative Hopf algebras, and some quantum groups.

On a Plus-Construction for Algebras over an Operad

We prove a analogous to Quillen's plus-construction in the category of algebras over an operad. For that purpose we prove that this category is a closed model category and prove the existence of an obstruction theory. We apply further this plus-construction for the specific cases of Lie algebras and Leibniz algebras which are a noncommutative version of Lie algebras: let sl(A) be the kernel of the trace map gl(A)A/[A,A], where A is an associative algebra with unit and gl(A) is the Lie algebra of matrices over A. Then the homotopy of slA)⁺ in the category of Lie algebras is the cyclic homology of A whereas it is the Hochschild homology of A in the category of Leibniz algebras.     

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.

A Trace-Like Invariant for Representations of Hopf Algebras

We introduce an invariant for the irreducible representations of finite dimensional Hopf algebras, defined as the trace of a map induced by the antipode on the endomorphisms of each corresponding simple module. We also compute the value of this invariant for the representations of two families of non-semisimple Hopf algebras.

A Valuation Theory for Nonassociative Quaternion Algebras

A nonassociative quaternion algebra over a field F is a 4-dimensional F-algebra A whose nucleus is a separable quadratic extension field of F. We define the notion of a valuation ring for A, and we also define a value function on A with values from a totally ordered group. We determine the structure of the set on which the function assumes non-negative values and we prove that, given a valuation ring of A, there is a value function associated to it if and only if the valuation ring is integral and invariant under proper F-automorphisms of A.
