A reply to “a comment on generalized electromagnetism and Dirac algebra”

Issues raised by W. A. Rodrigues, Jr. are discussed.1. This is not a new result; see,e.g., Rohrlich.⁽³⁾ 2. A typographical error in Eq. (77) is corrected here: The productj A in the right-hand parentheses was erroneously transcribed in Ref. (2) as A.3. I define electromagnetic fieldF = A to be that generated by electric charges and the magnetoelectric fieldG = M to be that generated by magnetic monopoles:F F +₅ G. 4. Rodrigues, on the other hand, takes the position that the importance of the Lagrangian formulation should be downgraded if not discarded altogether: ... it is redundant to look for Lagrangians.⁽¹⁾ 5. In fact, he reformulates it using the language of differential forms.6. It is interesting to observe that this bilinear form has the additional virtue of being appropriate for dealing with the monopolecharge parity question, which was pointed out long ago.⁽¹⁴⁾ 7. In fact, even mathematics looks to Nature for its authority.⁽¹⁶⁾ There is evidence that Rodrigues does not understand this concept.⁽¹⁷⁾     

On deformed preprojective algebras

Deformed preprojective algebras are generalizations of the usual preprojective algebras introduced by Crawley-Boevey and Holland, which have applications to Kleinian singularities, the Deligne-Simpson problem, integrable systems and noncommutative geometry. In this paper we offer three contributions to the study of such algebras: (1) the 2-Calabi-Yau property; (2) the unification of the reflection functors of Crawley-Boevey and Holland with reflection functors for the usual preprojective algebras; and (3) the classification of tilting ideals in 2-Calabi-Yau algebras, and especially in deformed preprojective algebras for extended Dynkin quivers.     

Axiomatizing subcategories of Abelian categories

We investigate how to characterize subcategories of abelian categories in terms of intrinsic axioms. In particular, we find axioms which characterize generating cogenerating functorially finite subcategories, precluster tilting subcategories, and cluster tilting subcategories of abelian categories. As a consequence we prove that any d-abelian category is equivalent to a d-cluster tilting subcategory of an abelian category, without any assumption on the categories being projectively generated.     

分裂的正则Hom-Leibniz-Rinehart代数

作为Hom-Leibniz代数胚的代数类比, 本文引入Hom-Leibniz-Rinehart代数的概念. 证明了分裂的正则Hom-Leibniz-Rinehart代数$L$写成$L=U+\sum_{\gamma}I_\gamma$, 其中$U$为极大交换子代数$H$的子空间和$I_\gamma$为$L$的理想, 若$[\gamma]\neq[d]$, 满足$[I_\gamma, I_d]=0$. 随后分别发展了分裂Hom-Leibniz-Rinehart代数的根和权的连通技术.最后研究了紧致的正则Hom-Leibniz-Rinehart代数的结构.     

An algebraic approach to the vector ε-algorithm

The vector -algorithm is obtained from the scalar -algorithm by taking the pseudo-inverse of a vector instead of the inverse of a scalar. Thus the vector -algorithm is known only through its rules contrarily to the scalar -algorithm and some other extrapolation algorithms.The aim of this paper is to provide an algebraic approach to the vector -algorithm.     

Primeness of the enveloping algebra of a Cartan type Lie superalgebra

We show that a primeness criterion for enveloping algebras of Lie superalgebras discovered by Bell is applicable to the Cartan type Lie superalgebras , even. Other algebras are considered but there are no definitive answers in these cases.

     

A Hecke Algebra Quotient and Some Combinatorial Applications

Let (W, S) be a Coxeter group associated to a Coxeter graph which has no multiple bonds. Let H be the corresponding Hecke Algebra. We define a certain quotient \-H of H and show that it has a basis parametrized by a certain subset W _cof the Coxeter group W. Specifically, W _cconsists of those elements of W all of whose reduced expressions avoid substrings of the form sts where s and t are noncommuting generators in S. We determine which Coxeter groups have finite W _cand compute the cardinality of W _cwhen W is a Weyl group. Finally, we give a combinatorial application (which is related to the number of reduced expressions for w W _cof an exponential formula of Lusztig which utilizes a specialization of a subalgebra of \-H.     

Crumpled laminations and manifolds of nonfinite type

Using a group-theoretic construction due to Bestvina and Brady, we build -manifolds which admit partitions into closed, connected -manifolds but which do not have finite homotopy type.

     

The Braided product of Ockham algebras

In this paper we introduce an algebraic concept of the product of Ockham algebras called the Braided product. We show that ifL _i MS(i=1, 2, ,n) then the Braided product ofL _i(i=1, 2, ,n) exists if and only ifL ₁, ,L _n have isomorphic skeletons.     

Derivative of the exponential mapping for infinite dimensional lie groups

It is proved that for infinite dimensional Lie groups in the sense of the differential calculus of Frölicher and Kriegl the derivative of the exponential mappings is given by the formula d(exp)(X)Y=d_exp(X)(e) ₀ ¹ Ad_exp(–tX) Y dt, where stands for the left translation ande is the neutral element.This work was supported by the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung.
