On modules of bounded multiplicities for the symplectic algebras

Simple infinite dimensional highest weight modules having
bounded weight multipicities are classified as submodules of a tensor product. Also, it is shown that a simple torsion free module of finite degree tensored with a finite dimensional module is completely reducible.

     

Pointed torsion free modules of affine lie algebras

It is shown that all pointed torsion free modules for affine Lie algebras belong to C⁽¹⁾ _n and A⁽¹⁾ _n-1 and are the result of the natural construction of tensoring the Laurent polynomials with a torsion free module of the “underlying” simple finite dimensional Lie Algebra. These latter modules have been completely determined by Britten and Lemire [1].     

Projective Summands in Tensor Products of Simple Modules of Finite Dimensional Hopf Algebras

Abstract

Let H be a finite dimensional Hopf algebra over a field k. We show that H contains a unique maximal Hopf ideal J _w (H) contained in J(H), the Jacobson radical of H. We give various characterizations of J _w (H), for example J _w (H) = Ann _H ((H/J(H))^?n ) for all large enough n. The smallest positive integer n with this property is denoted by l _w (H). We prove that l _w (H) equals the smallest number n such that (H/J(H))^?n contains every projective indecomposable H/J _w (H)-module as a direct summand. This also equals the minimal n such that the tensor product of n suitable simple H-modules contains the projective cover of the trivial H/J _w (H)-module as a direct summand. We define projective homomorphisms between H-modules, which are used to obtain various reciprocity laws for tensor products of simple H-modules and their projective indecomposable direct summands. We also discuss some consequences of our general results in case H = kG is a group algebra of a finite group G and k is a field of characteristic p.

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.     

Constructing G-algebras

In this article we define G-algebras, that is, graded algebras on which a reductive group G, acts as gradation preserving automorphisms. Starting from a finite dimensional G-module V and the polynomial ring ?[V], it is shown how one constructs a sequence of projective varieties V_k such that each point of V_k corresponds to a graded algebra with the same decomposition up to degree k as a G-module. After some general theory, we apply this to the case that V is the n+1-dimensional permutation representation of S_n+1, the permutation group on n+1 letters.     

Frames and bases in tensor products of Hilbert spaces and Hilbert <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-modules

In this article, we study tensor product of Hilbert C*-modules and Hilbert spaces. We show that if E is a Hilbert A-module and F is a Hilbert B-module, then tensor product of frames (orthonormal bases) for E and F produce frames (orthonormal bases) for Hilbert A ⊗ B-module E ⊗ F, and we get more results. For Hilbert spaces H and K, we study tensor product of frames of subspaces for H and K, tensor product of resolutions of the identities of H and K, and tensor product of frame representations for H and K.     

Extending involutions on Frobenius algebras

 Let A be a central simple algebra of degree n over a field of characteristic different from 2 and let B ? A be a maximal commutative subalgebra. We show that if there is an involution on A that preserves B and such that the socle of each local component of B is a homogeneous C ₂ -module for this action, then B is a Frobenius algebra. For a fixed commutative Frobenius algebra B of finite dimension n equipped with an involution σ, we characterize the central simple algebras A of degree n that contain B and carry involutions extending σ.

TORSION THEORIES FOR FINITE VON NEUMANN ALGEBRAS

ABSTRACT

The study of modules over a finite von Neumann algebra 𝒜 can be advanced by the use of torsion theories. In this work, some torsion theories for 𝒜 are presented, compared, and studied. In particular, we prove that the torsion theory (T, P) (in which a module is torsion if it is zero-dimensional) is equal to both Lambek and Goldie torsion theories for 𝒜.

Using torsion theories, we describe the injective envelope of a finitely generated projective 𝒜-module and the inverse of the isomorphism K ₀(𝒜) → K ₀ (𝒰), where 𝒰 is the algebra of affiliated operators of 𝒜. Then the formula for computing the capacity of a finitely generated module is obtained. Lastly, we study the behavior of the torsion and torsion-free classes when passing from a subalgebra ? of a finite von Neumann algebra 𝒜 to 𝒜. With these results, we prove that the capacity is invariant under the induction of a ?-module.     

A tensor product of the Steinberg module and a certain simple kG(pr)-module

Let G be a connected, semisimple, and simply connected algebraic group defined and split over the finite field of order p, and let G(q) be the corresponding finite Chevalley or twisted group, where q = p^r. Recently, Anwar determines the direct sum decomposition of the tensor product of the rth Steinberg module and a simple G-module with a (p,r)-minuscule highest weight λ. In this paper, we determine that of the tensor product regarded as a module for G(q) under some weak assumptions for λ.     

Representations of Nonstandard Poincaré Hopf Algebras

Let 𝔭 _q (1 + 1) be a nonstandard Poincaré Hopf algebra, we characterize all finite dimensional completely E-semisimple modules of 𝔭 _q (1 + 1). We also classify all finite dimensional E-semisimple modules of 𝔭 _q for a special quotient algebra of 𝔭 _q (1 + 1). Moreover, the decomposition of tensor product of two finite dimensional E-semisimple indecomposable modules is obtained.     

Words and Polynomial Invariants of Finite Groups in Non-Commutative Variables

Let V be a complex vector space with basis {x ₁, x ₂, . . . , x _n } and G be a finite subgroup of GL(V). The tensor algebra T(V) over the complex is isomorphic to the polynomials in the non-commutative variables x ₁, x ₂, . . . , x _n with complex coefficients. We want to give a combinatorial interpretation for the decomposition of T(V) into simple G-modules. In particular, we want to study the graded space of invariants in T(V) with respect to the action of G. We give a general method for decomposing the space T(V) into simple modules in terms of words in a Cayley graph of the group G. To apply the method to a particular group, we require a homomorphism from a subalgebra of the group algebra into the character algebra. In the case of G as the symmetric group, we give an example of this homomorphism from the descent algebra. When G is the dihedral group, we have a realization of the character algebra as a subalgebra of the group algebra. In those two cases, we have an interpretation for the graded dimensions and the number of free generators of the algebras of invariants in terms of those words.     

The algebraic theory of torsion. II: Products

The algebraic K-theory product K ₀(A) K ₁ B K ₁(A B) for rings A, B is given a chain complex interpretation, using the absolute torsion invariant introduced in Part I. Given a finitely dominated A-module chain complex C and a round finite B-module chain complex D, it is shown that the A B-module chain complex C D has a round finite chain homotopy structure. Thus, if X is a finitely dominated CW complex and Y is a round finite CW complex, the product X × Y is a CW complex with a round finite homotopy structure.     

Primary Decompositions in Varieties of Commutative Diassociative Loops

The decomposition theorem for torsion abelian groups holds analogously for torsion commutative diassociative loops. With this theorem in mind, we investigate commutative diassociative loops satisfying the additional condition (trivially satisfied in the abelian group case) that all nth powers are central, for a fixed n. For n = 2, we get precisely commutative C loops. For n = 3, a prominent variety is that of commutative Moufang loops.

Many analogies between commutative C and Moufang loops have been noted in the literature, often obtained by interchanging the role of the primes 2 and 3. We show that the correct encompassing variety for these two classes of loops is the variety of commutative RIF loops. In particular, when Q is a commutative RIF loop: all squares in Q are Moufang elements, all cubes are C elements, Moufang elements of Q form a normal subloop M ₀(Q) such that Q/M ₀(Q) is a C loop of exponent 2 (a Steiner loop), C elements of L form a normal subloop C ₀(Q) such that Q/C ₀(Q) is a Moufang loop of exponent 3. Since squares (resp., cubes) are central in commutative C (resp., Moufang) loops, it follows that Q modulo its center is of exponent 6. Returning to the decomposition theorem, we find that every torsion, commutative RIF loop is a direct product of a C 2-loop, a Moufang 3-loop, and an abelian group with each element of order prime to 6.

We also discuss the definition of Moufang elements and the quasigroups associated with commutative RIF loops.     

A Note on the Associated Primes of Local Cohomology Modules

In this note we give a simple proof of the following result: Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring,  an ideal of R and M a finite R-module, if H_ ⁱ (M) has finite support for all i < n, then Ass(H_ ⁿ (M)) is finite.     

When Does the Rational Torsion Split Off for Finitely Generated Modules

It is well known that the torsion part of any finitely generated module over the formal power series ring K[[X]] is a direct summand. In fact, K[[X]] is an algebra dual to the divided power coalgebra over K and the torsion part of any K[[X]]-module actually identifies with the rational part of that module. More generally, for a certain general enough class of coalgebras—those having only finite dimensional subcomodules—we see that the above phenomenon is preserved: the set of torsion elements of any C ^*-module is exactly the rational submodule. With this starting point in mind, given a coalgebra C we investigate when the rational submodule of any finitely generated left C ^*-module is a direct summand. We prove various properties of coalgebras C having this splitting property. Just like in the K[[X]] case, we see that standard examples of coalgebras with this property are the chain coalgebras which are coalgebras whose lattice of left (or equivalently, right, two-sided) coideals form a chain. We give some representation theoretic characterizations of chain coalgebras, which turn out to make a left-right symmetric concept. In fact, in the main result of this paper we characterize the colocal coalgebras where this splitting property holds non-trivially (i.e. infinite dimensional coalgebras) as being exactly the chain coalgebras. This characterizes the cocommutative coalgebras of this kind. Furthermore, we give characterizations of chain coalgebras in particular cases and construct various and general classes of examples of coalgebras with this splitting property.     

A Decomposition Theorem for Group Representations

In this paper we establish a decomposition theorem for an ordinary representation of a finite group G in any category C{\mathcal C} which expresses a suitable irreducible representation of G as the tensor product of two projective ones. The celebrated theorem due to Clifford for a linear representation turns out to be a particular case of it. For that purpose, a definition of projective extension of an ordinary representation of a normal subgroup of G is introduced, as well as a tensor product between two of them.     

A Note About Critical Percolation on Finite Graphs

In this note we study the geometry of the largest component C₁\mathcal {C}_{1} of critical percolation on a finite graph G which satisfies the finite triangle condition, defined by Borgs et al. (Random Struct. Algorithms 27:137–184, 2005). There it is shown that this component is of size n ^2/3, and here we show that its diameter is n ^1/3 and that the simple random walk takes n steps to mix on it. By Borgs et al. (Ann. Probab. 33:1886–1944, 2005), our results apply to critical percolation on several high-dimensional finite graphs such as the finite torus \mathbbZ_n^d\mathbb{Z}_{n}^{d} (with d large and n→∞) and the Hamming cube {0,1} ⁿ .     

Transitive Spaces of Operators

We investigate algebraic and topological transitivity and, more generally, k-transitivity for linear spaces of operators. In finite dimensions, we determine minimal dimensions of k-transitive spaces for every k, and find relations between the degree of transitivity of a product or tensor product on the one hand and those of the factors on the other. We present counterexamples to some natural conjectures. Some infinite dimensional analogues are discussed. A simple proof is given of Arveson’s result on the weak-operator density of transitive spaces that are masa bimodules. Authors partially supported by NSERC grants.     

On Finite n-Acentralizer Groups

Let G be a group and Aut(G) be the group of automorphisms of G. Then the Acentralizer of an automorphism α ∈Aut(G) in G is defined as C _G (α) = {g ∈ G∣α(g) = g}. For a finite group G, let Acent(G) = {C _G (α)∣α ∈Aut(G)}. Then for any natural number n, we say that G is n-Acentralizer group if |Acent(G)| =n. We show that for any natural number n, there exists a finite n-Acentralizer group and determine the structure of finite n-Acentralizer groups for n ≤ 5.     

Faisceaux sans torsion et faisceaux quasi localement libres sur les courbes multiples primitives

This paper is devoted to the study of some coherent sheaves on non reduced curves that can be locally embedded in smooth surfaces. If Y is such a curve and n is its multiplicity, then there is a filtration C₁ = C ? C₂ ? … ? C_n = Y such that C is the reduced curve associated to Y, and for every P ∈ C, if z ∈ O_Y,P is an equation of C then (zⁱ) is the ideal of C_i in O_Y,P. A coherent sheaf on Y is called torsion free if it does not have any non zero subsheaf with finite support. We prove that torsion free sheaves are reflexive. We study then the quasi locally free sheaves, i.e., sheaves which are locally isomorphic to direct sums of the O_Ci.We define an invariant for these sheaves, the complete type, and prove the irreducibility of the set of sheaves of given complete type. We study the generic quasi locally free sheaves, with applications to the moduli spaces of stable sheaves on Y (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
