On Periodic (Co)Homology of Groups

Here we show that a countable group G has periodic cohomology of period q after some steps with the periodicity isomorphisms induced by cup product with an element in H ^q (G, ?) if and only if G has periodic homology of period q after some steps with the periodicity isomorphisms induced by cap product with an element in H ^q (G, ?). In [2 Asadollahi , J. , Hajizamani , A. , Salarian , Sh. Periodic flat resolutions and periodicity in group (co)homology. To appear in Forum Mathematicum.  [Google Scholar]] Asadollahi, Hajizamani, and Salarian showed that, if a group G is such that every flat ?G-module has finite projective dimension, then G has periodic cohomology of period q after some steps with the periodicity isomorphisms induced by cup product with an element in H ^q (G, ?) if and only if G has periodic homology of period q after some steps with the periodicity isomorphisms induced by cap product with an element in H ^q (G, C), where C is the cotorsion envelope of the trivial ?G-module ?.     

Algebra structures on hom(C,L)

We consider the space of linear maps from a coassociative coalgebra C into a Lie algebra L. Unless C has a cocommutative coproduct, the usual symmetry properties of the induced bracket on Hom(C L) fail to hold. We define the concept of twisted domain (TD) algebras in order to recover the symmetries and also construct a modified Chevalley-Eilenbcrg complex in order to define the cohomology of such algebras.     

Codepth Two and Related Topics

A depth two extension A | B is shown to be weak depth two over its double centralizer V _A (V _A (B)) if this is separable over B. We consider various examples and non-examples of depth one and two properties. Depth two and its relationship to direct and tensor product of algebras as well as cup product of relative Hochschild cochains is examined. Section 6 introduces a notion of codepth two coalgebra homomorphism g : C → D, dual to a depth two algebra homomorphism. It is shown that the endomorphism ring of bicomodule endomorphisms End ^D C ^D forms a right bialgebroid over the centralizer subalgebra g ^* : D ^* → C ^* of the dual algebra C ^*.

Structure theorem for dual quasi-hopf bicomodules and its application

We present a structure theorem for dual quasi-Hopf bicomodules, and also obtain the structure theorem C ≌ D ? H for dual quasi-Hopf module coalgebras, where H is a dual quasi-Hopf algebra, C a right H-module coalgebra, and D a left H-comodule coalgebra in the tensor category ^H M induced from C, and D ? H the smash coproduct introduced by Bulacu and Nauwelaerts.     

On the Hochschild (Co)Homology of Quantum Exterior Algebras

We compute the Hochschild cohomology and homology of the algebra Λ = k 〈x, y〉/(x ², xy + qyx, y ²) with coefficients in ₁ Λ_ψ for every degree preserving k-algebra automorphism ψ : Λ → Λ. As a result we obtain several interesting examples of the homological behavior of Λ as a bimodule.     

Representation-Directed Incidence Coalgebras of Intervally Finite Posets and the Tame-Wild Dichotomy

Incidence coalgebras C = K ^□ I of intervally finite posets I that are representation-directed are characterized in the article, and the posets I with this property are described. In particular, it is shown that the coalgebra C = K ^□ I is representation-directed if and only if the Euler quadratic form q _C : ?^(I) → ? of C is weakly positive. Every such a coalgebra C is tame of discrete comodule type and gl. dimC ≤ 2. As a consequence, we get a characterization of the incidence coalgebras C = K ^□ I that are left pure semisimple in the sense that every left C-comodule is a direct sum of finite dimensional subcomodules. It is shown that every such coalgebra C = K ^□ I is representation-directed and gl. dimC ≤ 2. Finally, the tame-wild dichotomy theorem is proved, for the coalgebras K ^□ I that are right semiperfect.     

Doi–Hopf Modules Associated to Comodule Coalgebras

To any right comodule coalgebra C over a Hopf algebra H we associate a left H-comodule algebra A. Under certain conditions, in particular in the case where H has nonzero integrals, we show that the category of right C, H-comodules is isomorphic to a certain subcategory of the category of Doi–Hopf modules associated to A. As an application, we investigate the connection between C and the smash coproduct C ? H being right semiperfect.     

Algebra Structures on the Twisted Eilenberg–Zilber Theorem

Let G, G′, and G ×_τ G′ be three simplicial groups (not necessarily abelian) and C _N (G) ? _t  C _N (G′) be the “twisted” tensor product associated to C _N (G ×_τ G′) by the twisted Eilenberg–Zilber theorem. Here we prove that the pair (C _N (G) ? _t  C _N (G′), μ) is a DGA-algebra where μ is the standard product of C _N (G) ? C _N (G′). Furthermore, the injection of the twisted Eilenberg–Zilber contraction is a DGA-algebra morphism and the projection and the homotopy operator satisfy other weaker multiplicative properties.     

Completely 𝒲-Resolved Complexes

Let R be a ring and 𝒲 a self-orthogonal class of left R-modules which is closed under finite direct sums and direct summands. A complex C of left R-modules is called a 𝒲-complex if it is exact with each cycle Z ⁿ (C) ∈ 𝒲. The class of such complexes is denoted by 𝒞_𝒲. A complex C is called completely 𝒲-resolved if there exists an exact sequence of complexes D _· = … → D _?1 → D ₀ → D ₁ → … with each term D _i in 𝒞_𝒲 such that C = ker(D ₀ → D ₁) and D _· is both Hom(𝒞_𝒲, ?) and Hom(?, 𝒞_𝒲) exact. In this article, we show that C = … → C ^?1 → C ⁰ → C ¹ → … is a completely 𝒲-resolved complex if and only if C ⁿ is a completely 𝒲-resolved module for all n ∈ ?. Some known results are obtained as corollaries.     

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.     

On Combinatorial Properties of Bands

In this paper we study the D-saturated property of bands defined in terms of their Cayley graphs Cay(S,C), where S is a band and C ? Z(S), the center of S. Also we characterize the Cayley graphs of bands. More generally, for a finite graph Γ =Cay(T, D), where T is a band and D ? Z(T), we give an algorithm for finding all bands S and C ? Z(S) such that Γ =Cay(S, C).     

On B(5, 18) Groups

A group G is said to be a B(n, k) group if for any n-element subset A of G, |A²| ≤k. In this paper, a characterization of B(5, 18) groups is given. It is shown that G is a B(5, 18) group if and only if one of the following statements holds: (1) G is abelian; (2) |G| ≤18; (3) G ? ? a, b | a⁵ = b⁴ = 1, a^b = a^?1 ?.     

C*-bialgebra Defined as the Direct Sum of UHF Algebras

Let 𝒜₀(*) denote the direct sum of a certain set of uniformly hyperfinite (UHF) algebras, and let 𝒜(*) ≡ C ⊕ 𝒜₀(*). We introduce a non-cocommutative comultiplication Δ_? on 𝒜(*), and give an example of comodule-C*-algebra of the C*-bialgebra (𝒜(*), Δ_?). With respect to Δ_?, we define a nonsymmetric tensor product of *-representations of UHF algebras and show tensor product formulas of Gel'fand–Na\u?mark–Segal (GNS) representations by product states.     

On Generalizations of Prime Ideals (II)

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. We say that a proper ideal P of R is (n ? 1, n)-weakly prime (n ≥ 2) if 0 ≠ a ₁…a _n  ∈ P implies a ₁…a _i?1 a _i+1…a _n  ∈ P for some i ∈ {1,…, n}, where a ₁,…, a _n  ∈ R. In this article, we study (n ? 1, n)-weakly prime ideals. A number of results concerning (n ? 1, n)-weakly prime ideals and examples of (n ? 1, n)-weakly prime ideals are given. Rings with the property that for a positive integer n such that 2 ≤ n ≤ 5, every proper ideal is (n ? 1, n)-weakly prime are characterized. Moreover, it is shown that in some rings, nonzero (n ? 1, n)-weakly prime ideals and (n ? 1, n)-prime ideals coincide.     

On the Constructive Inverse Problem in Differential Galois Theory#

We give sufficient conditions for a differential equation to have a given semisimple group as its Galois group. For any group G with G ⁰ = G ₁ · ··· · G _r , where each G _i is a simple group of type A_?, C_?, D_?, E₆, or E₇, we construct a differential equation over C(x) having Galois group G.     

Principal Weak Flatness and Regularity of Diagonal Acts

For a monoid S, the set S × S equipped with the componentwise right S-action is called the diagonal act of S and is denoted by D(S). A monoid S is a left PP (left PSF) monoid if every principal left ideal of S is projective (strongly flat). We shall call a monoid S left P(P) if all principal left ideals of S satisfy condition (P). We shall call a monoid S weakly left P(P) monoid if the equalities as = bs, xb = yb in S imply the existence of r ∈ S such that xar = yar, rs = s. In this article, we prove that a monoid S is left PSF if and only if S is (weakly) left P(P) and D(S) is principally weakly flat. We provide examples showing that the implications left PSF ? left P(P) ? weakly left P(P) are strict. Finally, we investigate regularity of diagonal acts D(S), and we prove that for a right PP monoid S the diagonal act D(S) is regular if and only if every finite product of regular acts is regular. Furthermore, we prove that for a full transformation monoid S = 𝒯 _X , D(S) is regular.     

Chain and distributive coalgebras

We show that coalgebras whose lattice of right coideals is distributive are coproducts of coalgebras whose lattice of right coideals is a chain. Those chain coalgebras are characterized as finite duals of Noetherian chain rings whose residue field is a finite dimensional division algebra over the base field. They also turn out to be coreflexive. Infinite dimensional chain coalgebras are finite duals of left Noetherian chain domains. Given any finite dimensional division algebra D and D-bimodule structure on D, we construct a chain coalgebra as a cotensor coalgebra. Moreover if D is separable over the base field, every chain coalgebra of type D can be embedded in such a cotensor coalgebra. As a consequence, cotensor coalgebras arising in this way are the only infinite dimensional chain coalgebras over perfect fields. Finite duals of power series rings with coeficients in a finite dimensional division algebra D are further examples of chain coalgebras, which also can be seen as tensor products of D^∗, and the divided power coalgebra and can be realized as the generalized path coalgebra of a loop. If D is central, any chain coalgebra is a subcoalgebra of the finite dual of D[[x]].
