Graded self-injective algebras “are” trivial extensions

For a positively graded artin algebra A=_n0A_n we introduce its Beilinson algebra b(A). We prove that if A is well-graded self-injective, then the category of graded A-modules is equivalent to the category of graded modules over the trivial extension algebra T(b(A)). Consequently, there is a full exact embedding from the bounded derived category of b(A) into the stable category of graded modules over A; it is an equivalence if and only if the 0-th component algebra A₀ has finite global dimension.     

Palindromic Resolutions of Simple Modules

For a finite dimensional hereditary k-algebra H of Dynkin type, it is known that the trivial extension T(H) has the property that minimal projective resolutions of T(H)-modules are periodic. We examine conditions in which T(H)-modules have additional symmetry in their resolutions—namely, their resolutions are “palindromic.” A more general framework in which “palindromic” resolutions occur is also presented.     

Quasitilted algebras admit a preprojective component

Quasitilted algebras are generalizations of tilted algebras. As a main result we show here that the Auslander-Reiten quiver of such an algebra has a preprojective component

     

Quiver varieties and Lusztig's algebra

We study preprojective algebras of graphs and their relationship to module categories over representations of quantum SL(2). As an application, ADE quiver varieties of Nakajima are shown to be subvarieties of the variety of representations of a certain associative algebra introduced by Lusztig.     

On Galois Algebras Satisfying the Fundamental Theorem

Let B be a Galois algebra over a commutative ring R with Galois group G such that B ^H is a separable subalgebra of B for each subgroup H of G. Then it is shown that B satisfies the fundamental theorem if and only if B is one of the following three types: (1) B is an indecomposable commutative Galois algebra, (2) B = Re ⊕ R(1 ? e) where e and 1 ? e are minimal central idempotents in B, and (3) B is an indecomposable Galois algebra such that for each separable subalgebra A, V _B (A) = ?∑ _g∈G(A) J _g , and the centers of A and B ^G(A) are the same where V _B (A) is the commutator subring of A in B, J _g  = {b ∈ B | bx = g(x)b for each x ∈ B} for a g ∈ G, and G(A) = {g ∈ G | g(a) = a for all a ∈ A}.     

Gaussian Polynomials and Content Ideal in Pullbacks

This article deals mainly with rings (with zerodivisors) in which regular Gaussian polynomials have locally principal contents. Precisely, we show that if (T,M) is a local ring which is not a field, D is a subring of T/M such that qf(D) = T/M, h: T → T/M is the canonical surjection and R = h ^?1(D), then if T satisfies the property “every regular Gaussian polynomial has locally principal content,” then also R verifies the same property. We also show that if D is a Prüfer domain and T satisfies the property “every Gaussian polynomial has locally principal content”, then R satisfies the same property. The article includes a brief discussion of the scopes and limits of our result.     

Homological properties of sklyanin algebras

In their recent paper [13], Tate and Van den Bergh studied certain quadratic algebras, called the “Sklyanin algebras”. They proved that these algebras have the Hilbert series of a polynomial algebra, are Noetherian and Koszul, and satisfy the Auslander-Gorenstein and Cohen-Macaulay conditions. This paper gives an alternative proof of these results, as suggested in [13], and thereby answering a question in their paper.     

Co-Point Modules Over Frobenius Koszul Algebras

Let A be a Frobenius Koszul algebra such that its Koszul dual A ^! is a quantum polynomial algebra. Co-point modules over A were defined as dual notion of point modules over A ^! with respect to the Koszul duality. In this article, we will see that various important functors between module categories over A used in representation theory of finite dimensional algebras send co-point modules to co-point modules. As a consequence, we will show that if (E, σ) is a geometric pair associated to A ^!, then the map σ:E → E is an automorphism of the point scheme E of A ^!, so that there is a bijection between isomorphism classes of left point modules over A ^! and those of right point modules over A ^!.     

The Invariant Subrings of an Azumaya Galois Extension

Let B be an Azumaya Galois extension or a DeMeyer-Kanzaki Galois extension with Galois group G. Equivalent conditions are given for a separable subextension of a Galois extension in the skew group ring B * G being an invariant subring of a subgroup of the Galois group G.AMS Subject Classification (2000): 16S35, 16W20.     

The Generalized Center Galois Extensions of Rings

Let B be a ring with 1, C the center of B, G a finite automorphism group of B, and I_i = {c - g_i(c) | c C} for each g_i G. Then, B is called a center Galois extension with Galois group G if BI_i = B for each g_i 1 in G, and a weak center Galois extension with group G if BI_i = Be_i for some nonzero idempotent e_i in C for each g_i 1 in G. When e_i is a minimal element in the Boolean algebra generated by {e_i | g_i G} Be_i is a center Galois extension with Galois group H_i for some subgroup H_i of G. Moreover, the central Galois algebra B(1 – e_i) is characterized when B is a Galois algebra with Galois group G.AMS Subject Classification (1991): 16S35 16W20Supported by a Caterpillar Fellowship, Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois, USA.

Koszulity for graded skew PBW extensions

Pre-Koszul and Koszul algebras were defined by Priddy [15 Priddy, S. (1970). Koszul resolutions. Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 152:39–60.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]]. There exist some relations between these algebras and the skew PBW extensions defined in [8 Gallego, C., Lezama, O. (2011). Gröbner bases for ideals of σ-PBW extensions. Comm. Algebra 39(1):50–75.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. In [24 Suárez, H., Reyes, A. (submitted for publications). Koszulity for skew PBW extensions over fields. [Google Scholar]] we gave conditions to guarantee that skew PBW extensions over fields it turns out homogeneous pre-Koszul or Koszul algebra. In this paper we complement these results defining graded skew PBW extensions and showing that if R is a finite presented Koszul 𝕂-algebra then every graded skew PBW extension of R is Koszul.     

Extensions of Modules over Schur Algebras, Symmetric Groups and Hecke Algebras

We study the relation between the cohomology of general linear and symmetric groups and their respective quantizations, using Schur algebras and standard homological techniques to build appropriate spectral sequences. As our methods fit inside a much more general context within the theory of finite-dimensional algebras, we develop our results first in that general setting, and then specialize to the above situations. From this we obtain new proofs of several known results in modular representation theory of symmetric groups. Moreover, we reduce certain questions about computing extensions for symmetric groups and Hecke algebras to questions about extensions for general linear groups and their quantizations.     

Cleft extensions of a family of braided Hopf algebras

We introduce a family of braided Hopf algebras that (in characteristic zero) generalizes the rank 1 Hopf algebras introduced by Krop and Radford and we study its cleft extensions.     

Null ideals and spanning ranks of matrices,II

Suppose R is an integral domain and A ∈ M _{n × n}(R) \{O}. If D is a spanning rank partner of A, then precisely one of the following three relationships holds: N _A = N _D N _A = XN _D or XN _A = N _D. Here X is an indeterminate and N _A(N _D) denotes the null ideal of A(D) in R[X]. There are easy examples of A and D for which N _A = N _D and N _A = XN _D. In this paper, we give an example where XN _A = N _D. We give sharper versions of the theorem for n ≤ 4.     

Quasitilted extensions of algebras I

Let be a connected finite dimensional -algebra, and let be a nonzero decomposable -module such that the one-point extension is quasitilted. We show here that every nonzero indecomposable direct summand of is directing and is a tilted algebra.

     

On Cleft Extensions of the Tensor Product of Two Hopf Algebras

In this article, we first decompose a cleft extension for X ? Y into two cleft extensions for X and Y respectively, where X and Y are Hopf algebras on a commutative ring R. Conversely, we introduce the concept of consistent cleft Hopf extensions and prove that one can construct a cleft extension for X ? Y by two cleft extensions for X and Y if and only if these two cleft extensions are consistent. An example is also given to show an application of our main results.
