Let F be a field and q (x) a quadratic polynomial in F [ x ] with q (0) ≠ 0. We denote by T ∞ (F) the algebra of all infinite upper triangular matrices over the field F. A matrix A ∈ T ∞ (F) is called a quadratic matrix with respect to q (x) if q (A) = 0. In this paper, we first investigate the subgroup in T ∞ (F) generated by all quadratic matrices with respect to q (x) and then present some applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let F be a field of characteristic zero. By a ⁎-superalgebra we mean an algebra A with graded involution over F. Recently, algebras with graded involution have been extensively studied in PI-theory and the sequence of ⁎-graded codimensions { c n gri (A) } n ≥ 1 has been investigated by several authors. In this paper, we classify varieties generated by unitary ⁎-superalgebras having quadratic growth of ⁎-graded codimensions. As a result we obtain that a unitary ⁎-superalgebra with quadratic growth is T 2 ⁎ -equivalent to a finite direct sum of minimal unitary ⁎-superalgebras with at most quadratic growth, where at least one ⁎-superalgebra of this sum has quadratic growth. Furthermore, we provide a method to determine explicitly the factors of those direct sums. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For two given idempotents p and q from an associative algebra A , in this paper, we offer a comprehensive classification of algebras spanned by the idempotents p and q. This classification is based on the condition that p and q are not tightly coupled and satisfy (p q) m − 1 = (p q) m but (p q) m − 2 p ≠ (p q) m − 1 p for some m (≥ 2) ∈ N. Subsequently, we categorize all the group invertible elements and establish an upper bound for the Drazin index of any elements in these algebras spanned by p , q. Moreover, we formulate a new representation for the Drazin inverse of α p + q under two different assumptions, (p q) m − 1 = (p q) m and λ (p q) m − 1 = (p q) m , where α is a non-zero and λ is a non-unit real or complex number.

Let F be a field of characteristic zero and let m ≥ 2 be an integer. In this paper, we prove that if a group grading on U T m (F) admits a graded involution then this grading is a coarsening of a Z ⌊ m 2 ⌋ -grading on U T m (F) and the graded involution is equivalent to the reflection or symplectic involution on U T m (F) , this grading is called the finest grading on U T m (F). Furthermore, if m ≤ 4 the algebra U T m (F) with the finest grading satisfies no non-trivial monomial identities. For the finest grading, a finite basis for the (Z ⌊ m 2 ⌋ , ⁎) -identities is exhibited with the reflection and symplectic involutions and the asymptotic growth of the (Z ⌊ m 2 ⌋ , ⁎) -codimensions is determined. As a consequence, we prove that for any G -grading on U T m (F) and any graded involution the (G , ⁎) -exponent is m. Finally, we study the algebra U T 3 (F). For this algebra, there are, up to equivalence, two non-trivial gradings that admit a graded involution: the canonical Z -grading and the Z 2 -grading induced by (0 , 1 , 0). We determine a basis for the (Z 2 , ⁎) -identities and we compute the codimension sequence for the (Z 2 , ⁎) -graded identities for U T 3 (F). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2013 Benkart, Lopes and Ondrus introduced and studied in a series of papers the infinite-dimensional unital associative algebra A h generated by elements x , y , which satisfy the relation y x − x y = h for some 0 ≠ h ∈ F [ x ]. In this paper we investigate the standard polynomial identities and minimal identities for certain subspaces of A h over an infinite field of arbitrary characteristic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let F be any field of characteristic different from two and let E be the Grassmann algebra of an infinite dimensional F -vector space L. In this paper we will provide a condition for a Z 2 -grading on E to behave like the natural Z 2 -grading E c a n. More specifically, our aim is to prove the validity of a weak version of a conjecture presented in [10]. The conjecture poses that every Z 2 -grading on E has at least one non-zero homogeneous element of L. As a consequence, we obtain a characterization of E c a n by means of its Z 2 -graded polynomial identities. Furthermore we construct a Z 2 -grading on E that gives a negative answer to the conjecture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let n be an integer greater than 1, and M n (C) be the algebra of all n × n -complex matrices. Let x 0 ∈ C n be a nonzero vector, and Φ be a linear map on M n (C) such that Φ (I) is invertible. For any matrix T ∈ M n (C) , let γ (T , x 0) denote the local reduced minimum modulus of T at x 0. In this paper, we show that Φ satisfies γ (T , x 0) = 0 ⇔ γ (Φ (T) , x 0) = 0 , (T ∈ M n (C)) , if and only if there are two invertible matrices A , B ∈ M n (C) such that A x 0 = A ⁎ x 0 = x 0 and Φ (T) = B T A for all T ∈ M n (C). When n = 2 , we show that the invertibility hypothesis of Φ (I) is redundant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Max-plus algebra is an algebraic structure in which classical addition and multiplication are replaced by maximum and addition, respectively. We say that the columns of a real matrix A are strongly independent if the max-plus linear system A ⊗ x = b has a unique solution for at least one real vector b. A square matrix A with strongly independent columns is called strongly regular. The investigation of the properties of regularity is important for applications. The values of vector or matrix inputs in practice are usually not exact numbers and they can be rather considered as values in some intervals. The present paper studies three versions of the regularity of matrices and interval matrices, namely, strong regularity, von Neumann regularity and Gondran-Minoux regularity. For each concept of regularity we will present equivalent conditions which can be verified in polynomial time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study identities and images of polynomials on null-filiform Leibniz algebras. If L n is an n -dimensional null-filiform Leibniz algebra, we exhibit a finite minimal basis for Id (L n) , the polynomial identities of L n , and we explicitly compute the images of multihomogeneous polynomials on L n. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for the image of a multihomogeneous polynomial f to be a subspace of L n. For the particular case of multilinear polynomials, we prove that the image is always a vector space, showing that the analogue of the L'vov-Kaplansky conjecture holds for L n. We also prove similar results for an analog of null-filiform Leibniz algebras in the infinite-dimensional case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let G be a group and F an infinite field. Assume that A is a finite dimensional F -algebra with an elementary G -grading. In this paper, we study the graded identities satisfied by the tensor product grading on the F -algebra A ⊗ C , where C is an H -graded colour β -commutative algebra. More precisely, under a technical condition, we provide a basis for the T G -ideal of graded polynomial identities of A ⊗ C , up to graded monomial identities. Furthermore, the F -algebra of upper block-triangular matrices U T (d 1 , ... , d n) , as well as the matrix algebra M n (F) , with an elementary grading such that the neutral component corresponds to its diagonal, are studied. As a consequence of our results, a basis for the graded identities, up to graded monomial identities of degrees ≤ 2 d − 1 , for M d (E) and M q (F) ⊗ U T (d 1 , ... , d n) , with a tensor product grading, is exhibited. In this latter case, d = d 1 + ... + d n. Here E denotes the infinite dimensional Grassmann algebra with its natural Z 2 -grading, and the grading on M q (F) is Pauli grading. The results presented in this paper generalize results from [14] and from other papers which were obtained for fields of characteristic zero. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A universal algebra A with underlying set A is said to be a matroid algebra if (A , 〈 ⋅ 〉) , where 〈 ⋅ 〉 denotes the operator subalgebra generated by , is a matroid. A matroid algebra is said to be an independence algebra if every mapping α : X → A defined on a minimal generating X of A can be extended to an endomorphism of A. These algebras are particularly well-behaved generalizations of vector spaces, and hence they naturally appear in several branches of mathematics, such as model theory, group theory, and semigroup theory. It is well known that matroid algebras have a well-defined notion of dimension. Let A be any independence algebra of finite dimension n , with at least two elements. Denote by End (A) the monoid of endomorphisms of A. In the 1970s, Głazek proposed the problem of extending the matrix theory for vector spaces to a class of universal algebras which included independence algebras. In this paper, we answer that problem by developing a theory of matrices for (almost all) finite-dimensional independence algebras. In the process of solving this, we explain the relation between the classification of independence algebras obtained by Urbanik in the 1960s, and the classification of finite independence algebras up to endomorphism-equivalence obtained by Cameron and Szabó in 2000. (This answers another question by experts on independence algebras.) We also extend the classification of Cameron and Szabó to all independence algebras. The paper closes with a number of questions for experts on matrix theory, groups, semigroups, universal algebra, set theory or model theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The n -th Schrödinger algebra sch n defined in [14] is the semi-direct product of the Lie algebra sl 2 with the n -th Heisenberg Lie algebra h n , which generalizes the Schrödinger algebra sl 2 ⋉ h 1. Let ϕ : h n → C be a nonzero Lie algebra homomorphism. A sch n -module V is called quasi-Whittaker of type ϕ if V = U (sch n) v , where U (sch n) is the universal enveloping algebra of sch n , v is a nonzero vector such that x v = ϕ (x) v for any x ∈ h n. In this paper, we prove that a simple sch n -module V is a quasi-Whittaker module if and only if V is a locally finite h n -module. Then we classify the simple quasi-Whittaker modules of ϕ , according to the rank of ϕ. Furthermore, we characterize arbitrary quasi-Whittaker modules through the rank of ϕ. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let A be a finite dimensional associative algebra with derivations over a field of characteristic zero, i.e., an algebra whose structure is enriched by the action of a Lie algebra L by derivations, and let c n L (A) , n ≥ 1 , be its differential codimension sequence. Such sequence is exponentially bounded and exp L ⁡ (A) = lim n → ∞ ⁡ c n L (A) n is an integer that can be computed, called differential PI-exponent of A. In this paper we prove that for any Lie algebra L , exp L ⁡ (A) coincides with exp ⁡ (A) , the ordinary PI-exponent of A. Furthermore, in case L is a solvable Lie algebra, we apply such result to classify varieties of L -algebras of almost polynomial growth, i.e., varieties of exponential growth such that any proper subvariety has polynomial growth.

Let A be a unital C⁎-algebra equipped with its natural order. As usual the effect algebra of A is the interval { a ∈ A : 0 ≤ a ≤ I A } , where I A denotes the unit of A. In this paper, we give a complete description of order isomorphisms between effect algebras of C⁎-algebras of type C (X) ⊗ B (H) , where C (X) stands for the algebra of all continuous complex valued functions on a (non pathological) Hausdorff compact space X and B (H) denotes the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space H. Our results generalize some works by L. Molnár and P. Šemrl. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we construct a graded universal enveloping algebra of a G -graded Lie algebra, where G is not necessarily an abelian group. If the grading group is abelian, then it coincides with the classical construction. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the graded enveloping algebra. As consequences, we prove a graded variant of Witt's Theorem on the universal enveloping algebra of the free Lie algebra, and the graded version of Ado's Theorem, which states that every finite-dimensional Lie algebra admits a faithful finite dimensional representation. Furthermore we investigate if a Lie grading is equivalent to an abelian grading. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let M be a type II 1 von Neumann algebra, S (M) be the Murray–von Neumann algebra associated with M and let A be a ⁎-subalgebra in S (M) with M ⊆ A. We prove that any ring derivation D from A into S (M) is necessarily inner. Further, we prove that if A is an E W ⁎ -algebra such that its bounded part A b is a W ⁎ -algebra without finite type I direct summands, then any ring derivation D from A into L S (A b) — the algebra of all locally measurable operators affiliated with A b , is an inner derivation. We also give an example showing that the condition M ⊆ A is essential. At the end of this paper, we provide several criteria for an abelian extended W ⁎ -algebra such that all ring derivations on it are linear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let B (X) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex or real Banach space X with dim ⁡ X ≥ 3. In this paper, we characterize the maps from B (X) into itself which preserve the ascent of product of operators or, they preserve the descent of product of operators. It turns out that both problems are connected with preservers of the rank-one nilpotency of the product. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let A be a unital C ⁎ algebra and for every a ∈ A , r (a) denote the numerical radius of a ∈ A. The power inequality for numerical radius states that for every polynomial P (z) = z n and a ∈ A the inequality P (r (a)) ≥ r (P (a)) holds. In this paper, we get a characterization of polynomials with real coefficients that satisfy the power inequality on all 2 × 2 matrices with real entries. We also characterize all polynomials that satisfy the power inequality on every commutative unital C ⁎ algebra. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we study the lattice of restricted subalgebras of a restricted Lie algebra. In particular, we consider those algebras in which this lattice is dually atomistic, lower or upper semimodular, or in which every restricted subalgebra is a quasi-ideal. The fact that there are one-dimensional subalgebras which are not restricted results in some of these conditions being weaker than for the corresponding conditions in the non-restricted case.

In this paper, we consider a generalization of the classical Skjelbred–Sund method, used to classify nilpotent low-dimensional Lie algebras, in order to classify Lie-Yamaguti algebras with non-trivial annihilator. We develop this method with the purpose of classifying nilpotent Lie-Yamaguti algebras, and we obtain from it the algebraic classification of the nilpotent Lie-Yamaguti algebras up to dimension four.

Given a unital algebra A of linear transformations on a finite-dimensional complex vector space V , in this paper we study the set Col (A) consisting of those invertible linear transformations S on V which map every subspace M ∈ Lat (A) to a subspace S M ∈ Lat (A). We show that Col (A) is the normalizer of the group of invertible linear transformations in the reflexive cover of A. For the unital algebra (A) which is generated by a linear transformation A , we give the complete description of Col (A). By using the primary decomposition of A , we first reduce the problem of characterizing Col (A) to the problem of characterizing the group Col (N) of a given nilpotent linear transformation N. While Col (N) always contains all invertible linear transformations of the commutant (N) ′ of N , it is always contained in the reflexive cover of (N) ′. We prove that Col (N) is a proper subgroup of (Alg Lat (N) ′) − 1 if and only if at least two Jordan blocks in the Jordan decomposition of N are of dimension 2 or more. We also determine the group Col (J 2 ⊕ J 2). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the well-known Faulkner construction is revisited and adapted to include the super case, which gives a bijective correspondence between generalized Jordan (super)pairs and faithful Lie (super)algebra (super)modules, under certain constraints (bilinear forms with properties analogous to the ones of a Killing form are required, and only finite-dimensional objects are considered). We always assume that the base field has characteristic different from 2. It is also proven that associated objects in this Faulkner correspondence have isomorphic automorphism group schemes. Finally, this correspondence will be used to transfer the construction of the tensor product to the class of generalized Jordan (super)pairs with "good" bilinear forms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Kac–Moody algebras, g (A) , are Lie algebras defined by generators and relations given by generalized Cartan matrices A. In this paper, we study the graded identities for Kac–Moody algebras when the matrix A is diagonal. More precisely, we provide a basis for the graded identities of g (A) equipped with its natural grading, the grading of Cartan type. These results are obtained over an arbitrary infinite field. We also compute the graded codimensions for these algebras and provide a basis for the vector space of the multihomogeneous polynomials of any given multidegree in the relatively free algebra. As the base field is infinite we have a vector space basis of the relatively free algebra. As a consequence of our results, we give an alternative proof of Theorem 17 in [15] , and generalize it to characteristic two. Finally, we also describe a basis of the graded identities for the Heisenberg algebra with its natural grading, over any field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scaffolds are certain tensors arising in the study of association schemes, and have been (implicitly) understood diagrammatically as digraphs with distinguished "root" nodes and with matrix edge weights, often taken from Bose–Mesner algebras. In this paper, we first present a slight modification of Martin's conjecture (2021) concerning a duality of scaffolds whose digraphs are embedded in a closed disk in the plane with root nodes all lying on the boundary circle, and then show that this modified conjecture holds true if we restrict ourselves to the class of translation association schemes, i.e., those association schemes that admit abelian regular automorphism groups.

This paper contains two parts. In the first we determine the length of the central simple cyclic algebras of degree less than or equal to five. In the second we give a upper bound for the length of a commutative subalgebra of the full matrix algebra over the real quaternions. We also prove that if the length of a commutative matrix subalgebra is maximal, then this subalgebra is maximal under inclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let n ⩾ 2 be an integer and let T n (F) be the algebra of n × n upper triangular matrices over an arbitrary field F. In this paper, a complete structural characterization of commuting additive maps ψ : T n (F) → T n (F) on rank one triangular matrices, i.e., additive maps ψ satisfying ψ (A) A = A ψ (A) for all rank one matrices A ∈ T n (F) , is established.

In this paper, we investigate the consistency conditions for three classes of the max plus linear equations, including the case corresponding to the convex polyhedra which was the subject of the previous paper. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of finite solutions are expressed in the form of single equations, by using the ultra discrete permanent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let V be a variety of superalgebras with graded involution and let c n gri (V) be its sequence of ⁎-graded codimensions. We say that V has polynomial growth n k if asymptotically c n gri (V) ≈ a n k , for some a ≠ 0. Furthermore, V is minimal of polynomial growth n k if c n gri (V) grows as n k and any proper subvariety of V has polynomial growth n t , with t < k. In this paper, we classify superalgebras with graded involution generating minimal varieties of quadratic growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An algebra A of n × n complex matrices is said to be idempotent compressible if E A E is an algebra for all idempotents E ∈ M n (C). Analogously, A is said to be projection compressible if P A P is an algebra for all orthogonal projections P in M n (C). In this paper we construct several examples of unital algebras that admit these properties. In addition, a complete classification of the unital idempotent compressible subalgebras of M 3 (C) is obtained up to similarity and transposition. It is shown that in this setting, the two notions of compressibility agree: a unital subalgebra of M 3 (C) is projection compressible if and only if it is idempotent compressible. Our findings are extended to algebras of arbitrary size in [2]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A subalgebra A of M n (C) is said to be idempotent compressible if E A E is an algebra for all idempotents E ∈ M n (C). Likewise, A is said to be projection compressible if P A P is an algebra for all orthogonal projections P ∈ M n (C). In this paper, a case-by-case analysis is used to classify the unital projection compressible subalgebras of M n (C) , n ≥ 4 , up to transposition and unitary equivalence. It is observed that every algebra shown to admit the projection compression property is, in fact, idempotent compressible. We therefore extend the findings of [3] in the setting of M 3 (C) , proving that the two notions of compressibility agree for all unital matrix algebras. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let F be an infinite field of characteristic different from 2, and let E be the Grassmann algebra of an infinite dimensional F -vector space L. In this paper we study the Z -graded polynomial identities of E with respect to certain Z -grading such that the vector space L is homogeneous in the grading. More precisely, we construct three types of Z -gradings on E , denoted by E ∞ , E k ⁎ and E k , and we give the explicit form of the corresponding Z -graded polynomial identities. We show that the homogeneous superalgebras E ∞ , E k ⁎ and E k studied in [12] can be obtained from E ∞ , E k ⁎ and E k as quotient gradings. Moreover we exhibit several other types of homogeneous Z -gradings on E , and describe their graded identities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Terwilliger algebra of an association scheme of order n introduced in [13] is a subalgebra of the matrix algebra of all n × n matrices. Terwilliger algebras of wreath products of special association schemes are studied in several papers. In this paper we study the Terwilliger algebra of the wreath product T ≀ S of two arbitrary association schemes S and T . We will express the Terwilliger algebra of T ≀ S and its primitive central idempotents in terms of the Terwilliger algebras of S and T and their primitive central idempotents. The known results of Hanaki, Kim, etc. (cf. [7,10] ) are special cases of our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let F be an infinite field of characteristic p different from 2 and let E be the Grassmann algebra generated by an infinite dimensional vector space L over F. In this paper we provide, for any odd prime q , a finite basis for the T q -ideal of the Z q -graded polynomial identities for E and a basis for the T q -space of graded central polynomials for E , for any Z q -grading on E such that L is homogeneous in the grading. Moreover, we prove that the set of all graded central polynomials of E is not finitely generated as a T q -space, if p > 2. In the non-homogeneous case such bases are also described when at least one non-neutral component has infinite many homogeneous elements of the basis of L in the respective grading.

Let n ∈ N , and consider C n equipped with the standard inner product. Let A ⊆ L (C n) be a unital algebra and P ∈ L (C n) be an orthogonal projection. The space L : = P ⊥ A | ran P is said to be an off-diagonal corner of A , and L is said to be essential if ∩ { ker ⁡ L : L ∈ L } = { 0 } and ∩ { ker ⁡ L ⁎ : L ∈ L } = { 0 } , where L ⁎ denotes the adjoint of L. Our goal in this paper is to determine effective upper bounds on dim ⁡ A in terms of dim ⁡ L , where L is an essential off-diagonal corner of A. A detailed structure analysis of A based upon the dimension of L , while seemingly elusive in general, is nevertheless provided in the cases where dim ⁡ L ∈ { 1 , 2 }. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It has been conjectured that all graded Artinian Gorenstein algebras of codimension three have the weak Lefschetz property over a field of characteristic zero. In this paper, we study the weak Lefschetz property of associated graded algebras A of the Apéry set of M -pure symmetric numerical semigroups generated by four natural numbers. In 2010, Bryant proved that these algebras are graded Artinian Gorenstein algebras of codimension three. In a recent article, Guerrieri showed that if A is not a complete intersection, then A is of form A = R / I with R = K [ x , y , z ] and I = (x a , y b − x b − γ z γ , z c , x a − b + γ y b − β , y b − β z c − γ) , where 1 ≤ β ≤ b − 1 , max ⁡ { 1 , b − a + 1 } ≤ γ ≤ min ⁡ { b − 1 , c − 1 } and a ≥ c ≥ 2. We prove that A has the weak Lefschetz property in the following cases: • max ⁡ { 1 , b − a + c − 1 } ≤ β ≤ b − 1 and γ ≥ ⌊ β − a + b + c − 2 2 ⌋ ; • a ≤ 2 b − c and | a − b | + c − 1 ≤ β ≤ b − 1 ; • one of a , b , c is at most five.

Let F be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and G be an arbitrary finite cyclic group. In this paper, given an m -tuple (A 1 , ... , A m) of finite dimensional G -simple algebras, we focus on the study of the factorability of the T G -ideals Id G ((U T (A 1 , ... , A m) , α ˜)) of the G -graded upper block triangular matrix algebras U T (A 1 , ... , A m) endowed with elementary G -gradings induced by some maps α ˜. When G is a cyclic p -group we prove that the factorability of the ideal Id G ((U T (A 1 , ... , A m) , α ˜) is equivalent to the G -regularity of all (except for at most one) the G -simple components A 1 , ... , A m , as well to the existence of a unique isomorphism class of α ˜ -admissible elementary G -gradings for U T (A 1 , ... , A m). Moreover, we present some necessary and sufficient conditions to the factorability of Id G ((U T (A 1 , A 2) , α ˜)) , even in case G is not a p -group, with some stronger assumptions on the gradings of the algebras A 1 and A 2.

Max-plus algebra is a kind of idempotent semiring over R max : = R ∪ { − ∞ } with two operations ⊕ : = max and ⊗ : = +. In this paper, we introduce a new model of a walk on one dimensional lattice on Z , as an analogue of the quantum walk, over the max-plus algebra and we call it max-plus walk. In the conventional quantum walk, the summation of the ℓ 2 -norm of the states over all the positions is a conserved quantity. In contrast, the summation of eigenvalues of state decision matrices is a conserved quantity in the max-plus walk. Moreover, spectral analysis on the total time evolution operator is also given.

Let Γ denote a distance-biregular graph with vertex set X. Fix x ∈ X and let T = T (x) denote the Terwilliger algebra of Γ with respect to x. In this paper we consider irreducible T -modules with endpoint 1. We show that there are no such modules if and only if Γ is the complete bipartite graph K 1 , n (n ≥ 1) and x is a vertex of Γ with valency 1. If the valency of x is at least 2 then we show that up to isomorphism there is a unique irreducible T -module of endpoint 1, and this module is thin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Max-min algebra is an algebraic structure in which classical addition and multiplication are replaced by maximum and minimum, respectively. The notation A ⊗ X ⊗ C = B , where A , B , and C are given interval matrices, represents an interval max-min matrix equation. The paper deals with the solvability of interval matrix equations in max-min algebra. We define three types of solvability of interval max-min matrix equations, namely the strongly universal, universal and weakly universal solvability. We provide the equivalent conditions for each type of solvability that can be verified in polynomial times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we consider three operations on positive definite cones of C ⁎ -algebras which are related to weighted geometric means and appear in the formulas defining various versions of quantum Rényi relative entropy. We show how Jordan *-isomorphisms between C ⁎ -algebras can be characterized by the preservation of the norms of products under those operations or by the preservation of the operations themselves. We also obtain conditions for the commutativity of the underlying algebras by showing that we have that property if one of the quantities under considerations can be transformed by a surjective map to another different such quantity.

The inverses of indecomposable Cartan matrices are computed for finite-dimensional Lie algebras and Lie superalgebras over fields of any characteristic, and for hyperbolic (almost affine) complex Lie (super)algebras. This enables one to express the fundamental weights in terms of simple roots corresponding to the Cartan matrix. We discovered three yet inexplicable new phenomena, of which (a) and (b) concern hyperbolic (almost affine) complex Lie (super)algebras: (a) several of the inverses of Cartan matrices have all their elements negative (not just non-positive, as they should be according to an a priori characterization due to Zhang Hechun); (b) the 0s only occur on the main diagonals of the inverses; (c) the determinants of inequivalent Cartan matrices of the simple Lie (super)algebra of any dimension may differ (in any characteristic). We interpret most of the results of Wei and Zou (2017) [31] as inverses of the Gram matrices of non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear forms on the (super)algebras considered, not of Cartan matrices, and give more adequate references. In particular, the inverses of Cartan matrices of simple Lie algebras were already published, starting with Dynkin's paper in 1952, see also Table 2 in Springer's book by Onishchik and Vinberg (1990).

Let m be a positive integer and M 2 m (F) be the algebra of 2 m × 2 m matrices over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero F endowed with the transpose or the symplectic involution. In this paper, we construct a basis B of M 2 m (F) over F such that ± B is a group whose elements are symmetric or skew with respect to the given involution. Moreover all elements of this basis commute or anti commute among themselves. The construction is based on a specific irreducible representation of ± B , an extra-special 2-group. As an application, this basis solves the problem on finding the minimal degree of a standard polynomial identity in symmetric variables of (M 2 m (F) , s) , where s is the symplectic involution.

This paper introduces a concept of AE solutions to interval max-plus linear systems, a rather general concept which includes many known concepts of solutions to interval systems: weak solutions, strong solutions, tolerance solutions and control solutions, as its special cases. We state full characterizations of AE solutions for the interval max-plus systems, including both linear inequalities and linear equations. Moreover, a kind of dependency characterized by double appearance of some sub-matrix of the constraint matrix is discussed, and we prove that which can be relaxed with no change in AE solvability.

Let M n be the algebra of all n × n complex matrices, 1 ≤ k ≤ n − 1 be an integer, and φ : M n ⟶ M n be a linear operator. In this paper, it is shown that φ preserves the polynomial numerical hull of order k if and only if there exists a unitary matrix U ∈ M n such that either φ (A) = U ⁎ A U for all A ∈ M n , or φ (A) = U ⁎ A t U for all A ∈ M n.

Abstract We study groups of surjective linear isometries on Banach algebras of Lipschitz maps with values in some unital C ⁎ -algebras. In this paper, these spaces are endowed with the sum norm. For the case where the C ⁎ -algebras are commutative whose groups of all surjective isometries are algebraically reflexive, we prove that the group of all surjective isometries on the corresponding Banach algebra of Lipschitz maps are algebraically reflexive. We also prove that the group of unital surjective isometries between matrix-valued Lipschitz algebras are reflexive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract In the paper, we first classify all polynomial maps H of the following form: H = (H 1 (x 1 , x 2 , ... , x n) , H 2 (x 1 , x 2) , H 3 (x 1 , x 2) , ... , H n (x 1 , x 2)) with JH nilpotent. After that, we generalize the structure of H to H = (H 1 (x 1 , x 2 , ... , x n) , H 2 (x 1 , x 2) , H 3 (x 1 , x 2 , H 1) , ... , H n (x 1 , x 2 , H 1)). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract The class Ext of all extendable functions from R to R is the smallest among all Darboux-like classes of functions, which constitute different natural generalizations of the class of usual continuous functions. The goal of this paper is to construct, within Ext, an algebra A which has maximal possible cardinality, that is, 2 c. This, in particular, would confirm a conjecture of T. Natkaniec from 2013. Moreover, the constructed algebra A consists only of functions that are both Baire and Lebesgue measurable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
