Construction of Graded Covariant GL(m/n) Modules Using Tableaux

Irreducible covariant tensor modules for the Lie supergroups GL(m/n) and the Lie superalgebras gl(m/n) and sl(m/n) are obtained through the use of Young tableaux techniques. The starting point is the graded permutation action, first introduced by Dondi and Jarvis, on V ^l . The isomorphism between this group of actions and the symmetric group S _l enables the graded generalization of the Young symmetrizers, and hence of the column relations and Garnir relations, to be made. Consequently, corresponding to each partition of l an irreducible GL(m/n) module may be obtained as a submodule of V ^l . A basis for the module labeled by the partition is provided by GL(m/n)–standard tableaux of shape defined by Berele and Regev. The reduction of an arbitrary tableau to standard form is accomplished through the use of graded column relations and graded Garnir relations. The standardization procedure is algorithmic and allows matrix representations of the Lie superalgebras gl(m/n) and sl(m/n) to be constructed explicitly over the field of rational numbers. All the various steps of the standardization algorithm are exemplified, as well as the explicit construction of matrices representing particular elements of gl(m/n) and sl(m/n).     

Modules with the Direct Summand Sum Property

The present work gives some characterizations of R-modules with the direct summand sum property (in short DSSP), that is of those R-modules for which the sum of any two direct summands, so the submodule generated by their union, is a direct summand, too. General results and results concerning certain classes of R-modules (injective or projective) with this property, over several rings, are presented.     

A Sato–Tate Law for Drinfeld Modules

We formulate and prove a Sato–Tate equidistribution law for Drinfeld modules.     

On the theory and application of a domain decomposition method for computing conformal modules

We consider the theory and application of a domain decomposition method for computing the conformal modules of long quadrilaterals. The method has been studied already by us and also by Gaier and Hayman. Our main purpose here is to extend its area of application and, in the same time, improve some of our earlier error estimates.     

Extension closure of k-torsionfree modules

Let Λ be a left and right Noetherian ring. For a positive integer k, we give an equivalent condition that flat dimensions of the first k terms in the minimal injective resolution of Λ are less than or equal to k. In this case we show that the subcategory consisting of k-torsionfree modules is extension closed. Moreover we prove that for a Noetherian algebra every subcategory consisting of i-torsionfree modules is extension closed for any 1 ≤ i ≤ k if and only if every subcategory consisting of i-th syzygy modules is extension closed for any 1 ≤ i ≤ k. Our results generalize the main results in Auslander and Reiten [4].     

ZL-amenability and characters for the restricted direct products of finite groups

Let G   be a restricted direct product of finite groups _{Gi}i∈I${\{G_i\}}_{i\in I}$, and let Z?¹(G)${\mathrm{Z}?}^1(G)$ denote the centre of its group algebra. We show that Z?¹(G)${\mathrm{Z}?}^1(G)$ is amenable if and only if _Gi$G_i$ is abelian for all but finitely many i  , and characterize the maximal ideals of Z?¹(G)${\mathrm{Z}?}^1(G)$ which have bounded approximate identities. We also study when an algebra character of Z?¹(G)${\mathrm{Z}?}^1(G)$ belongs to _c0$c_0$ or ?^p${?}^p$ and provide a variety of examples.
