Localization and Catenarity in Iterated Differential Operator Rings

ABSTRACT

Let k be a field, R an associative k-algebra with identity, Δ a finite set of derivations of R, and R[Θ₁, δ₁] ··· [Θ _n , δ _n ] an iterated differential operator k-algebra over R such that δ _j (Θ _i ) ∈ R[Θ₁, δ₁] ··· [Θ _i?1, δ _i?1]; 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n. If R is Noetherian Δ-hypercentral, then every prime ideal P of A is classically localizable. The aim of this article is to show that under some additional hypotheses on the Δ-prime ideals of R, the local ring A _P is regular in the sense of Robert Walker. We use this result to study the catenarity of A and to compute the numbers μ _i of Bass. Let g be a nilpotent Lie algebra of finite dimension n acting on R by derivations and U(g) the enveloping algebra of g. Then the crossed product of R by U(g) is an iterated differential operator k-algebra as above. In this particular case, our results are known if k has characteristic zero.     

On Derived Equivalences for Selfinjective Algebras

We show that if A is a representation-finite selfinjective Artin algebra, then every P ^? ? K ^b(𝒫 _A ) with Hom _K(Mod?A)(P ^?,P ^?[i]) = 0 for i ≠ 0 and add(P ^?) = add(νP ^?) is a direct summand of a tilting complex, and that if A, B are derived equivalent representation-finite selfinjective Artin algebras, then there exists a sequence of selfinjective Artin algebras A = B ₀, B ₁,…, B _m  = B such that, for any 0 ≤ i < m, B _i+1 is the endomorphism algebra of a tilting complex for B _i of length ≤ 1.     

A determinantal version of the frobenius-könig theorem

Let F be a field and let {d ₁,…,d_k } be a set of independent indeterminates over F. Let A(d ₁,…,d_k ) be an n × n matrix each of whose entries is an element of F or a sum of an element of F and one of the indeterminates in {d ₁,…,d_k }. We assume that no d ¹ appears twice in A(d ₁,…,d_k ). We show that if det A(d ₁,…,d_k ) = 0 then A(d ₁,…,d_k ) must contain an r × s submatrix B, with entries in F, so that r + s = n + p and rank B ? p ? 1: for some positive integer p.     

APPLICATIONS OF CLIFFORD ALGEBRAS TO INVOLUTIONS AND QUADRATIC FORMS

ABSTRACT

Let k be a field, char k ≠ 2, F = k(x), D a biquaternion division algebra over k, and σ an orthogonal involution on D with nontrivial discriminant. We show that there exists a quadratic form ? ∈ I ²(F) such that dim ? = 8, [C(?)] = [D], and ? does not decompose into a direct sum of two forms similar to two-fold Pfister forms. This implies in particular that the field extension F(D)/F is not excellent. Also we prove that if A is a central simple K-algebra of degree 8 with an orthogonal involution σ, then σ is hyperbolic if and only if σ _K(A) is hyperbolic. Finally, let σ be a decomposable orthogonal involution on the algebra M _{2 ^m} (K). In the case m ≤ 5 we give another proof of the fact that σ is a Pfister involution. If m ≥ 2 ^n?2 ? 2 and n ≥ 5, we show that q _σ ∈ I ⁿ (K), where q _σ is a quadratic form corresponding to σ. The last statement is founded on a deep result of Orlov et al. (2000) concerning generic splittings of quadratic forms.     

Solvability of a Commutative Algebra which Satisfies (x 2)2 = 0

We studied the solvability of the algebra which satisfies the polynomial identity (x ²)² = 0. We believe that, if A is a finite dimensional commutative algebra over a field F of characteristic not 2 which satisfies (x ²)² = 0 for all x ∈ A, then A is solvable. In this article we proved this when dim  _F A ≤ 7.     

Adjunctions of Hom and Tensor as Endofunctors of (Bi-)Module Categories Over Quasi-Hopf Algebras

For a Hopf algebra H over a commutative ring k and a left H-module V, the tensor functors ? ? _k V and V ? _k  ? are known to be left adjoint to some kind of Hom-functors as endofunctors of _H 𝕄. The units and counits of adjunctions, in this case, are formally trivial as in the classical case.

In this paper, we generalize this Hom-tensor adjunction for (bi-)module categories over a quasi-Hopf algebra H and show that these (bi-)module categories are biclosed monoidal. However, the units and counits of adjunctions in these generalized cases are not as trivial as in the Hopf algebra case, and they should be modified in terms of the reassociator and the quasi-antipode. Also, if the H-module V is finitely generated and projective as a k-module, we will obtain a generalized form of adjunction between the tensor functors ? ?V and ? ?V* depending on the reassociator and quasi-antipode of H and describe a natural isomorphism between functors ? ?V* and Hom _k (V, ?) explicitly. Furthermore, we consider the special case V = A being an H-module algebra. In this case, each tensor functor will be a monad and its corresponding right adjoint is a comonad. We describe isomorphisms between the (Eilenberg–Moore) module categories over these monads and the (Eilenberg–Moore) comodule categories over their corresponding comonads explicitly.     

The Birman–Murakami–Wenzl Algebras of Type D n

The Birman–Murakami–Wenzl algebra (BMW algebra) of type D _n is shown to be semisimple and free of rank (2 ⁿ  + 1)n!! ? (2 ^n?1 + 1)n! over a specified commutative ring R, where n!! =1·3…(2n ? 1). We also show it is a cellular algebra over suitable ring extensions of R. The Brauer algebra of type D _n is the image of an R-equivariant homomorphism and is also semisimple and free of the same rank, but over the ring ?[δ^±1]. A rewrite system for the Brauer algebra is used in bounding the rank of the BMW algebra above. As a consequence of our results, the generalized Temperley–Lieb algebra of type D _n is a subalgebra of the BMW algebra of the same type.     

Hopf-Type Algebras

In this article, we provide an alternative approach to the definition of a weak Hopf algebra (WHA). For an associative unital algebra A with a coassociative comultiplication Δ ∈Alg ^u (A, A ? A), the set of homomorphisms from A to A ? A, which do not preserve the units. If the linear maps Ξ₁, Ξ₂ ∈ End(A ? A), defined by Ξ₁(a ? b) = Δ(a)(1 ? b), Ξ₂(a ? b) = (a ? 1)Δ(b), are von Neumann regular elements in the ring End(A ? A) of endomorphisms of A ? A satisfying some appropriate assumptions, we call the A a Hopf-type algebra. We show the existence of a target, a source, a counit, and an antipode of A as in the usual WHA.

Abstract

Let 𝒢 be a simple finite dimensional Lie algebra over the complex numbers and let 𝒢¯ = 𝒢₁ ⊕…⊕ 𝒢 _k be a regular semisimple subalgebra of 𝒢 with each 𝒢 _i being a simple algebra of type A or C. It is shown that the lattice of submodules of a generalized Verma 𝒢-module constructed by parabolic induction starting from a simple torsion free 𝒢¯-module is almost always isomorphic to the lattice of submodules of an associated module formed as a quotient of a classical Verma module by a sum of Verma submodules. In particular, it is shown that the Mathieu admissible Verma modules involved have maximal submodules which are the sum of Verma modules.     

Smash Products of H-Simple Module Algebras

Let H be a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra and A a finite-dimensional H-simple left H-module algebra. We show that the smash product A#H is isomorphic to End _A′(V ? H*), where V ≠ 0 is a finite-dimensional left A-module and (A′, V′) the stabilizer of (A, V). As an application it is proved that A#H is isomorphic to a full matrix algebra over A′ when H is semisimple and dim V|dim A.     

An Equivalence of Categories for Lie Color Algebras

Abstract

Let k be a field with char k = p > 0 and G an abelian group with a bicharacter λ on G. For each p-(G,λ)-Lie color algebra L over k the p-universal enveloping algebra u(L) is a G-graded Hopf algebra,i.e.,a Hopf algebra in the category ^kG ? of kG-comodules. In this paper we describe a subcategory of ^kG ? which is equivalent to the category of the finite dimensional p-(G,λ)-Lie color algebras over k.     

Matrix Characterization of 4-Ary Algebraic Operations of Idempotent Algebras

Let (U; F) be an idempotent algebra. There is an r-ary essentially algebraic operation in F where there is not any (r + 3)-ary algebraic operation depending on at least r + 1 variables. In this paper, we prove that the set of all 4-ary algebraic operations of this algebras forms a finite De Morgan algebra, and then we characterize this De Morgan algebra.     

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.     

Stability of Numerical Invariants in Free Groups

Let d be an odd integer, and let k be a field which contains a primitive dth root of unity. Let l ₁ and l ₂ be cyclic field extensions of k of degree d with norms n _{l 1/k} and n _{l 2/k} . Minà?'s approach which showed that quadratic Pfister forms are strongly multiplicative is applied to the form n _{l 1/k}  ? n _{l 2/k} of degree d. Let K = k(X ₁,…, X _{d ²} ). We compute polynomials which are similarity factors of a form of the kind N ? (n _{l 2/k}  ? _k K) over K, where N is the norm of a certain field extension of K of degree d. These polynomials arise by specializing certain indeterminates of the homogeneous polynomial representing the form n _{l 1/k}  ? n _{l 2/k} to be zero. Similar results are obtained for the tensor product of the norm of a cubic division algebra and a cubic norm n _{l 1/k} .     

Graph decompositions without isolated vertices III

Let G be a graph of order n, and n = Σ^k_i=1 a_i be a partition of n with a_i ≥ 2. In this article we show that if the minimum degree of G is at least 3k−2, then for any distinct k vertices v₁,…, v_k of G, the vertex set V(G) can be decomposed into k disjoint subsets A₁,…, A_k so that |A_i| = a_i,v_iisA_i is an element of A_i and “the subgraph induced by A_i contains no isolated vertices” for all i, 1 ≥ i ≥ k. Here, the bound on the minimum degree is sharp. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Nonsingular Equations over Groups II

Let G be a group, t an element distinct from G, and r(t) = g ₁ t ^{l ₁} …g _k t ^{l _k}  ∈ G* ?t?, where each g _i is an element of G order greater than 2, and the l _i are nonzero integers such that l ₁ + l ₂+…+l _k  ≠ 0 and |l _i | ≠ |l _j | for i ≠ j. We prove that if k = 4, then the natural map from G to the one-relator product ?G*t | r(t)? is injective. This together with previous results show that the natural map from G is injective for k ≥ 1.     

Commuting Derivations and Automorphisms of Certain Nilpotent Lie Algebras Over Commutative Rings

Let L be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra, L _? be the ?-span of a Chevalley basis of L, and L _R  = R ?_? L _? be a Chevalley algebra of type L over a commutative ring R. Let 𝒩(R) be the nilpotent subalgebra of L _R spanned by the root vectors associated with positive roots. A map ? of 𝒩(R) is called commuting if [?(x), x] = 0 for all x ∈ 𝒩(R). In this article, we prove that under some conditions for R, if Φ is not of type A ₂, then a derivation (resp., an automorphism) of 𝒩(R) is commuting if and only if it is a central derivation (resp., automorphism), and if Φ is of type A ₂, then a derivation (resp., an automorphism) of 𝒩(R) is commuting if and only if it is a sum (resp., a product) of a graded diagonal derivation (resp., automorphism) and a central derivation (resp., automorphism).
