Peter Neumann was born in Oxford on 28 December 1940, the first son of mathematicians Bernhard and Hanna Neumann, who came to the UK from Germany in the 1930s. Peter obtained his DPhil in 1963 under the supervision of Graham Higman, after which he was appointed to a fellowship at Queen's and a university lectureship. He spent his entire career at Oxford, retiring in 2008. Peter's lifelong contribution to mathematics in the UK and worldwide was monumental and wide‐ranging: through his research in algebra and the history of algebra; his supervision of over 40 doctoral students, many of whom went on to have distinguished academic careers; his extensive service to the London Mathematical Society; and his enormous contribution to mathematics education. Peter was a leading figure in algebra for over 50 years, publishing around 100 papers and books on varieties of groups, soluble groups, group enumeration, permutation groups, computational algebra, and the history of algebra. He was a great collaborator, publishing with 38 different co‐authors, and holding visiting positions at many places around the world. His contributions to research and scholarship were recognised by the London Mathematical Society with the award of the Senior Whitehead Prize in 2003 and with the joint LMS–IMA David Crighton Medal in 2012. Peter also made an enormous contribution to mathematics education in the UK. He was the founding Chairman of UK Mathematics Trust, serving from 1996 to 2005. During his period as chairman, Peter led UKMT in taking on the staging of the 2002 International Mathematical Olympiad. For his services to mathematics education, Peter was awarded an OBE in 2008. Peter was a superb lecturer, writer and expositor, and delightful company with a sparkling sense of humour. Above all, Peter is remembered for his kindness and generosity, his infectious and inspirational enthusiasm, and his boundless energy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A Picard–Borel algebra is a commutative unital complex algebra A$A$ such that every family of pairwise linearly independent invertible elements of A$A$ is linearly independent, and a Picard–Borel ideal I$I$ in a commutative complex unital algebra A$A$ is an ideal of I$I$ of A$A$ such that the quotient algebra A/I$A/I$ is a Picard–Borel algebra. In a preliminary paper, the author proved that every commutative unital Fréchet algebra which is a Picard–Borel algebra is an integral domain. The main result of the present paper is that all Picard–Borel ideals in commutative unital Fréchet algebras are prime. This result seems to be relevant for Michael's problem, since dense Picard–Borel ideals could play a role in the construction of discontinuous characters on some commutative unital Fréchet algebras.

ALGEBRA , *AFFINE algebraic groups , *CAMPUS visits - Abstract
The paper written many years ago by Resco and Small, constructed an example in prime characteristic of a finitely generated Noetherian K$K$‐algebra that does not necessarily remain Noetherian under field extensions. After this work was completed, Yuri Medvedev, then at the University of Ottawa, visited Resco at the University of Oklahoma, read the paper, and suggested an approach using Jordan algebras that would yield a similar example in characteristic 0. This was announced in the paper by Resco and Small, but to our knowledge the details were never published nor even entirely verified. We take the opportunity to do this now, but stress that the key sequence {an∣n=1,2,3,...}$\lbrace a_n\mid n=1,2,3,\ldots \rbrace$ and its relevant properties are due to Medvedev. Also, Resco suggested avoiding Jordan algebras and working directly and ring theoretically with the exterior algebra. This is the approach we take. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We prove that the localization Cw of the monoidal category Cw is rigid, and the category Cw,v admits a localization via a real commuting family of central objects. For a quiver Hecke algebra R and an element w in the Weyl group, the subcategory Cw of the category R-gmod of finite-dimensional graded R-modules categorifies the quantum unipotent coordinate ring Aq(n(w)). In the previous paper, we constructed a monoidal category Cw such that it contains Cw and the objects {(M(wΛi,Λi) i ∈ 1} corresponding to the frozen variables are invertible. In this paper, we show that there is a monoidal equivalence between the category Cw and (Cw-1)rev. Together with the already known left-rigidity of Cw, it follows that the monoidal category Cw is rigid. If v ≤ w in the Bruhat order, there is a subcategory Cw,v of Cw of that categorifies the doubly-invariant algebra N'(w)ℂ[N]N(v). We prove that the family [M(wΛi,vΛi))i∈I of simple R-module forms a real commuting family of graded central objects in the category Cw,v so that there is a localization Cw,v of Cw,v in which M(wΛi,vΛi) are invertible. Since the localization of the algebra N'(w)ℂ[N]N(v) by the family of the isomorphism classes of M(wΛi,vΛi) is isomorphic to the coordinate ring ℂ[Rw,v] of the open Richardson variety associated with w and v, the localization Cw,v categorifies the coordinate ring ℂ[Rw,v].

Important correspondences in representation theory can be regarded as restrictions of the Morita–Tachikawa correspondence. Moreover, this correspondence motivates the study of many classes of algebras like Morita algebras and gendo‐symmetric algebras. Explicitly, the Morita–Tachikawa correspondence describes that endomorphism algebras of generators–cogenerators over finite‐dimensional algebras are exactly the finite‐dimensional algebras with dominant dimension at least two. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of quasi‐generators and quasi‐cogenerators that generalise generators and cogenerators, respectively. Using these new concepts, we present higher versions of the Morita–Tachikawa correspondence that take into account relative dominant dimension with respect to a self‐orthogonal module with arbitrary projective and injective dimensions. These new versions also hold over Noetherian algebras that are finitely generated and projective over a commutative Noetherian ring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For any finite group G, the Terwilliger algebra T(G) of the group association scheme satisfies the following inclusions: T0(G)⊆T(G)⊆T˜(G), where T0(G) is a specific vector space and T˜(G) is the centralizer algebra of the permutation representation of G induced by the action of conjugation. The group G is said to be triply transitive if T0(G)=T˜(G). In this paper, we determine the dimensions of T0(G) and T˜(G) for G being Tn,k=〈a,b∣a2n=1,an=b2,bab−1=ak〉, Cn⋊Cp and Cp⋊Cn, and show that Tn,k,Cn⋊C2 and C3⋊C2n are triply transitive. Additionally, we give a complete characterization of the Wedderburn components of the Terwilliger algebras of Tn,k, Cn⋊Cp and Cp⋊Cn when they are triply transitive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we prove that the hyperfocal subalgebra of a block with an abelian defect group and a cyclic hyperfocal subgroup is Rickard equivalent to the group algebra of the semidirect of the hyperfocal subgroup by the inertial quotient of the block. In particular, the hyperfocal subalgebra is a Brauer tree algebra, which is analogous to the structure of blocks with cyclic defect groups. As a consequence, we show that Broué's abelian defect group conjecture holds for blocks with cyclic hyperfocal subgroups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, adaptive filtering algorithms have attracted much more attention in the field of signal processing. By studying the shortcoming of the traditional real‐valued fixed step size adaptive filtering algorithm, this paper proposed the novel approach to adaptive filtering with variable step size based on Sigmoid function and geometric algebra (GA). First, the proposed approach to adaptive filtering with variable step size based on geometric algebra represents the multi‐dimensional signal as a GA multi‐vector for the vectorization process. Second, the proposed approach to adaptive filtering with variable step size based on geometric algebra solves the contradiction between the steady‐state error and the convergence rate by establishing a non‐linear function relationship between the step size and the error signal. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach to adaptive filtering with variable step size based on geometric algebra achieves better performance than that of the existing adaptive filtering algorithms.

This paper presents a bicoprime factorization (BCF) approach to deal with various stability problems for linear discrete time‐varying (LTV) systems within the framework of nest algebra. Based on the bicoprime factorization, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for (strongly) simultaneous stabilization of three systems, which generalize similar results for systems by coprime factorization (CF). Finally, when the bicoprime factorization for the plant and controller has additive perturbations, we derive sufficient conditions using the norm inequality for robust stability of the system.

Several of the most fundamental transformations widely used by the power engineering community are strongly based on geometrical considerations. Clifford's geometric algebra (GA) is the natural language for describing concepts in Euclidean geometry. In this work, we show how Clarke, Park, and Depenbrock's FBD transformations can be derived by imposing orthogonality on the voltage and current vectors defined in a Euclidean space by using GA. This paper presents these transformations as spatial‐like rotations and projections by means of the use of special algebraic objects named GA rotors. We prove that there is no need to use complex numbers nor matrices to perform the mentioned transformations and to provide geometrical intuition for electrical quantities and their transformations. Furthermore, power properties can be described using GA terminology by means of the proposed geometric power. The manipulation of the geometric power allows a useful current decomposition for a variety of applications such active filtering, frequency estimation, or electrical machinery. We provide in this paper an alternative approach focused on power systems under the paradigm of GA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The automorphism group of a quantised coordinate algebra is usually much smaller than that of its classical counterpart. Nevertheless, these automorphism groups are often very difficult to calculate. In this paper, we calculate the automorphism group of the quantum grassmannian in the case that the deformation parameter is not a root of unity. The main tool employed is the dehomogenisation equality which shows that a localisation of the quantum grassmannian is equal to a skew Laurent extension of quantum matrices. This equality is used to connect the automorphism group of the quantum grassmannian with that of quantum matrices, where the automorphism group is known. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is devoted to the study of multigraded algebras and multigraded linear series. For an Ns$\mathbb {N}^s$‐graded algebra A$A$, we define and study its volume function FA:N+s→R$F_A:\mathbb {N}_+^s\rightarrow \mathbb {R}$, which computes the asymptotics of the Hilbert function of A$A$. We relate the volume function FA$F_A$ to the volume of the fibers of the global Newton–Okounkov body Δ(A)$\Delta (A)$ of A$A$. Unlike the classical case of standard multigraded algebras, the volume function FA$F_A$ is not a polynomial in general. However, in the case when the algebra A$A$ has a decomposable grading, we show that the volume function FA$F_A$ is a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients. We then define mixed multiplicities in this case and provide a full characterization for their positivity. Furthermore, we apply our results on multigraded algebras to multigraded linear series. Our work recovers and unifies recent developments on mixed multiplicities. In particular, we recover results on the existence of mixed multiplicities for (not necessarily Noetherian) graded families of ideals and on the positivity of the multidegrees of multiprojective varieties.

Several useful properties of the ST‐QOLCT are obtained from the properties of the ST‐QOLCT kernel. Based on the properties of the ST‐QOLCT and the convolution and correlation operators associated with QOLCT, we derive convolution and correlation theorems for the ST‐QOLCT. Finally, some potential applications of the ST‐QOLCT are introduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Additive light field displays are transparent autostereoscopic three‐dimensional displays without backlights, thus suitable for augmented reality applications. However, when the parallax between viewpoint images becomes large with the increase of viewing angle, the optimization algorithm is hard to handle too many dissimilarities evenly on all viewpoints, resulting in poor reconstructed quality. This paper presents an additive light field display using the weighted simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique with viewing angle‐dependent weight distribution functions. We constrain the optimization to deliver a reconstructed light field of high image quality for viewpoints of large weight. When the proposed method is applied, with a wide dynamic viewing angle of 57° × 43°, the tracked views' peak signal‐to‐noise ratio exceeds 30 dB with only two additive display layers.

Summary: This paper presents and discusses the usage of Geometric Algebra (GA) for the analysis of electrical alternating current (AC) circuits. The potential benefits of this novel approach are highlighted in the study of linear and nonlinear circuits with sinusoidal and non‐sinusoidal sources in the frequency domain, which are important issues in electrical engineering undergraduate courses. The analysis and understanding of how AC circuits operate in steady state are of a paramount importance for all the electrical engineers and practitioners around the world. Typically, lecturers of most undergraduate courses teach circuit theory using complex phasors, vector calculus, or linear algebra. However, these approaches have some important limitations in practice, which requires the development of strategies to improve teaching‐learning process related to AC circuit analysis. By formulating a new mathematical framework, the paper presents and discusses how GA can be of help in this approach. It is also described how the results obtained by using GA are validated using computer‐based simulations. It is highlighted how the proposed teaching methodology based on GA theory can be effective in helping students learn AC circuit analysis since it has several potential benefits derived from its simplicity, compactness, and use of easily identifiable geometrical concepts.

As is well‐known, on an Arens regular Banach algebra all continuous functionals are weakly almost periodic. In this paper, we show that ℓ1‐bases which approximate upper and lower triangles of products of elements in the algebra produce large sets of functionals that are not weakly almost periodic. This leads to criteria for extreme non‐Arens regularity of Banach algebras in the sense of Granirer. We find in particular that bounded approximate identities (bai's) and bounded nets converging to invariance (TI‐nets) both fall into this approach, suggesting that this is indeed the main tool behind most known constructions of non‐Arens regular algebras. These criteria can be applied to the main algebras in harmonic analysis such as the group algebra, the measure algebra, the semigroup algebra (with certain weights) and the Fourier algebra. In this paper, we apply our criteria to the Lebesgue‐Fourier algebra, the 1‐Segal Fourier algebra and the Figà‐Talamanca Herz algebra. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Summary: This paper proposes an algebraic system, verification algebra (VA), for reducing the number of component combinations to be verified in multi‐tenant architecture (MTA). MTA is a design architecture used in SaaS (Software‐as‐a‐Service) where a tenant can customize its applications by integrating services already stored in the SaaS databases or newly supplied services. Similar to SaaS, VaaS (Verification‐as‐a‐Service) is a verification service in a cloud that leverages the computing power offered by a cloud environment with automated provisioning, scalability and service composition. In VaaS architecture, however, there is a challenging problem called 'combinatorial explosion' that it is difficult to verify a large number of compositions constructed by both quantities of components and various combination structures even with computing resources in cloud. This paper proposes rules to emerge combinations status for future verification, on the basis of the existing results. Both composition patterns and properties are considered and analysed in VA rules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The flipped classroom (FC) is becoming an increasingly popular teaching method in mathematics education. However, few studies have rigorously evaluated its effectiveness, and less so in countries where students' level of mathematics achievement is low. In this study, we evaluated the impact of an FC intervention in Saudi Arabia, the country with the lowest level of maths achievement in the last iteration of the Trends International Mathematics and Science Study TIMSS. A total of 281 secondary school students received eight weeks of algebra training using either FC or traditional instruction, and were tested on algebra problems taken from past national standardised tests, as well as on a measure of self‐efficacy. Students who received the intervention showed higher self‐efficacy but no significant difference in maths achievement was observed. Students' and teachers' perceptions of the intervention were positive. Practitioner notes: What is already known about this topic The flipped classroom is an increasingly popular teaching method in mathematics education.There is evidence that the method is beneficial for students.However, there have been very few rigorous evaluation studies of flipped classrooms and most were conducted in the US, Taiwan and China.Whether the beneficial impact of flipped classrooms can be generalised to other countries, particularly countries with low proficiency in mathematics, remains unclear. What this paper adds We evaluated the impact of the flipped classroom in Saudi Arabia, a country with low proficiency in mathematics and limited technological resources.We used a rigorous design (with a control group) and educationally relevant outcome measures.We found that a flipped classroom can have a positive impact on students' self‐efficacy, and that the method was perceived positively by both teachers and students.Based on interview data, we also documented the perceptions and concerns of the participating teachers. Implications for practice and/or policy Flipped classrooms showed promising results in a context which differs markedly from previous evaluations, suggesting that the method can be beneficial in a range of contexts.This positive impact was observed despite the intervention being relatively short (six weeks) and implemented by teachers previously unfamiliar with the flipped classroom method.

FINITE fields , *ALGEBRA , *SHARING , *GEOMETRIC analysis - Abstract
In this work, we propose a geometric algebra‐based variation of a well‐known threshold secret‐sharing scheme introduced by Adi Shamir in 1979. Secret sharing is a cryptographic primitive which allows a secret input to be divided into multiple shares which are then sent to a collection of parties. The shares are generated so that only "authorized" sets of shares can reconstruct the secret. In Shamir's scheme, any sufficiently large set of shares can reconstruct the secret. The minimum number of shares which can obtain the secret is called the threshold, and any number of shares smaller than the threshold reveals nothing about the secret. The shares are generated such that each party can perform computations, generating a new set of shares that, when reconstructed, are equivalent to performing those exact computations directly on the secret input data. Our variant changes the domain from which secrets are taken: A finite field with prime order is replaced by a geometric algebra over a finite field of prime order. This change preserves the important security properties of Shamir's scheme, namely, idealness (secrets and shares are chosen from the same space) and perfectness ("unauthorized" sets of shares learn nothing about the secret). Our scheme allows secret sharing to be seamlessly added to the arsenal of GA‐based applications. Our extension of Shamir's secret scheme was first worked out for geometric algebras. It appears, however, that in fact it works for other algebras, a situation worthy to be explored in future work. For definiteness, in this paper, we restrict the analysis to the case of geometric algebras. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ROTORS , *ALGEBRA - Abstract
If an initial frame of vectors {ei}$$ \left\{{e}_i\right\} $$ is related to a final frame of vectors {fi}$$ \left\{{f}_i\right\} $$ by, in geometric algebra (GA) terms, a rotor, or in linear algebra terms, an orthogonal transformation, we often want to find this rotor given the initial and final sets of vectors. One very common example is finding a rotor or orthogonal matrix representing rotation, given knowledge of initial and transformed points. In this paper, we discuss methods in the literature for recovering such rotors and then outline a GA method, which generalises to cases of any signature and any dimension, and which is not restricted to orthonormal sets of vectors. The proof of this technique is both concise and elegant and uses the concept of characteristic multivectors as discussed in the book by Hestenes and Sobczyk, which contains a treatment of linear algebra using geometric algebra. Expressing orthogonal transformations as rotors, enables us to create fractional transformations and we discuss this for some classic transforms. In real applications, our initial and/or final sets of vectors will be noisy. We show how to use the characteristic multivector method to find a 'best fit' rotor between these sets and compare our results with other methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we address a question concerning nilpotent Frobenius actions on Rees algebras and associated graded rings. We prove a nilpotent analog of a theorem of Huneke for Cohen–Macaulay singularities. This is achieved by introducing a depth‐like invariant which captures as special cases Lyubeznik's F‐depth and the generalized F‐depth from Maddox–Miller and is related to the generalized depth with respect to an ideal. We also describe several properties of this new invariant and identify a class of regular elements for which weak F‐nilpotence deforms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BETTI numbers , *OPTIMISM , *POLYNOMIAL rings , *TORIC varieties , *ALGEBRA - Abstract
A foundational principle in the study of modules over standard graded polynomial rings is that geometric positivity conditions imply vanishing of Betti numbers. The main goal of this paper is to determine the extent to which this principle extends to the nonstandard Z$\mathbb {Z}$‐graded case. In this setting, the classical arguments break down, and the results become much more nuanced. We introduce a new notion of Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity and employ exterior algebra techniques to control the shapes of nonstandard Z$\mathbb {Z}$‐graded minimal free resolutions. Our main result reveals a unique feature in the nonstandard Z$\mathbb {Z}$‐graded case: the possible degrees of the syzygies of a graded module in this setting are controlled not only by its regularity, but also by its depth. As an application of our main result, we show that given a simplicial projective toric variety and a module M$M$ over its coordinate ring, the multigraded Betti numbers of M$M$ are contained in a particular polytope when M$M$ satisfies an appropriate positivity condition.

Let I$I$ be the ideal of minors of a 2×n$2 \times n$ matrix of linear forms with the expected codimension. In this paper, we prove that the Rees algebra of I$I$ and its special fiber ring are Cohen–Macaulay and Koszul; in particular, they are quadratic algebras. The main novelty in our approach is the analysis of a stratification of the Hilbert scheme of determinantal ideals. We study degenerations of Rees algebras along this stratification, and combine it with certain squarefree Gröbner degenerations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PICTURES , *ALGEBRA , *COLLECTIONS - Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the local structure of the semi‐invariant picture of a tame hereditary algebra near the null root. Using a construction that we call co‐amalgamation, we show that this local structure is completely described by the semi‐invariant pictures of a collection of self‐injective Nakayama algebras. We then describe the cones of this local structure using cluster‐like structures that we call support regular clusters. Finally, we show that the local structure is (piecewise linearly) invariant under cluster tilting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, a link between oriented CW complexes (that will also be mentioned as configurations) and alternative algebras is studied, determining which configurations are associated with those algebras. Moreover, the isomorphism classes of each two‐dimensional configuration associated with these algebras is analyzed, providing a new method to classify them. In order to complement the theoretical study, two algorithmic methods are implemented: The first one checks if a given algebra is alternative, while the second one constructs and draws the (pseudo)digraph associated with a given alternative algebra.

This paper presents an algorithm of computing the robust viability kernel for discrete‐time switched systems with arbitrary switching rule and bounded disturbance based on the robust one‐step set and Pontryagin difference. The algorithm can be implemented by performing the relevant set computations using polyhedral algebra and computational geometry software when switched systems are linear. In addition, we propose a method of computing inner approximation of the robust viability kernel for switched systems based on the set theory. The convergence of the iterative algorithm is proved using a null controllable set. Finally, two examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The components of complex analytic functions define solutions for the Laplace's equation, and in a simply connected domain, each solution of this equation is the first component of a complex analytic function. In this paper, we generalize this result; for each PDE of the form Auxx+Buxy+Cuyy=0, and for each affine planar vector field φ, we give an algebra 픸 with unit e = e1, with respect to which the components of all functions of the form L∘φ are all the solutions for this PDE, where L is differentiable in the sense of Lorch with respect to 픸. Solutions are also constructed for the following equations: Auxx+Buxy+Cuyy+Dux+Euy+Fu=0, 3rd‐order PDEs, and 4th‐order PDEs; among these are the bi‐harmonic, the bi‐wave, and the bi‐telegraph equations.

Quantum B‐algebras are partially ordered algebras characterizing the residuated structure of a quantale. Examples arise in algebraic logic, non‐commutative arithmetic, and quantum theory. A quantum B‐algebra with trivial partial order is equivalent to a group. The paper introduces a corresponding analogue of quantale modules. It is proved that every quantum B‐module admits an injective envelope which is a quantale module. The injective envelope is constructed explicitly as a completion, a multi‐poset version of the completion of Dedekind and MacNeille. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

LIE groups ,SOLVABLE groups ,ALGEBRA - Abstract
It has been known since (Pillay, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 53 (1988), no. 3, 239–255)that any group definable in an o$o$‐minimal expansion of the real field can be equipped with a Lie group structure. It is therefore natural to ask when is a Lie group Lie isomorphic to a group definable in such an expansion. Conversano, Starchenko and the first author answered this question in (Conversano, Onshuus, and Starchenko, J. Inst. Math. Jussieu 17 (2018), no. 2, 441–452) in the case when the group is solvable. This paper answers similar questions in more general contexts. We first give a complete classification in the case when the group is linear. Specifically, a linear Lie group G$G$ is Lie isomorphic to a group definable in an o$o$‐minimal expansion of the reals if and only if its solvable radical has the same property. We then deal with the general case of a connected Lie group, although unfortunately, we cannot achieve a full characterization. Assuming that a Lie group G$G$ has its Levi subgroups with finite center, we prove that in order for G$G$ to be Lie isomorphic to a definable group it is necessary and sufficient that its solvable radical satisfies the conditions given in (Conversano, Onshuus, and Starchenko, J. Inst. Math. Jussieu 17 (2018), no. 2, 441–452). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study some theoretical properties about this association and determine the properties of the (pseudo)digraphs associated with each type of evolution algebras. We also analyze the isomorphism classes for each configuration associated with these algebras providing a new method to classify them, and we compare our results with the current classifications of two‐ and three‐dimensional evolution algebras. In order to complement the theoretical study, we have designed and performed the implementation of an algorithm, which constructs and draws the (pseudo)digraph associated with a given evolution algebra and another procedure to study the solvability of a given evolution algebra.

WHOLE & parts (Philosophy) ,AXIOMS ,COMPUTABLE functions ,ALGEBRA - Abstract
Mereological theories are based on the binary relation "being a part of". The systematic investigations of mereology were initiated by Leśniewski. More recent authors (including Simons, Casati and Varzi, Hovda) formulated a series of first‐order mereological axioms. These axioms give rise to a plenitude of theories, which are of great philosophical interest. The paper considers first‐order mereological theories from the point of view of computable (or effective) algebra. Following the approach of Hirschfeldt, Khoussainov, Shore, and Slinko, we isolate two important computability‐theoretic properties P (namely, degree spectra of structures, and effective dimensions), and consider the following problem: for a given mereological theory T, is it true that its models can realize every possible variant of the property P? If the answer is positive, then we say that the theory T is DSED$\mathit {DSED}$‐universal. We obtain the following results about known mereological theories. Any theory T which is weaker than Extensional Closure Mereology (CEM) is DSED$\mathit {DSED}$‐universal. A similar fact is true for the theory GM2. On the other hand, any theory stronger that CEM + (C) + (G) is not DSED$\mathit {DSED}$‐universal. In particular, General Extensional Mereology is not DSED$\mathit {DSED}$‐universal.

In this paper, an iterative algorithm is established to solve discrete Lyapunov matrix equations. In this algorithm, a tuning parameter is introduced such that the iterative solution can be updated by using a combination of the information in the last step and the previous step. Some conditions for the convergence of the proposed algorithm are given. In addition, an approach is also developed to choose the optimal tuning parameter such that the algorithm achieves its fastest convergence rate. A numerical example is employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

40. Decidability of theories of modules over tubular algebras.
- Subjects
ALGEBRA ,MODEL theory - Abstract
We show that the common theory of all modules over a tubular algebra (over a recursive algebraically closed field) is decidable. This result supports a long standing conjecture of Mike Prest which says that a finite‐dimensional algebra (over a suitably recursive field) is tame if and only if its common theory of modules is decidable (Prest, Model theory and modules (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1988)). Moreover, as a corollary, we are able to confirm this conjecture for the class of concealed canonical algebras over algebraically closed fields. Tubular algebras are the first examples of non‐domestic algebras which have been shown to have decidable theory of modules. We also correct results in Harland and Prest (Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 110 (2015) 695–720), in particular, Corollary 8.8 of that paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MATRIX functions ,ALGEBRA ,FINITE, The - Abstract
In this paper we generalize classical results regarding minimal realizations of non‐commutative (nc) rational functions using nc Fornasini–Marchesini realizations which are centred at an arbitrary matrix point. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a minimal realization for every nc rational function, centred at an arbitrary matrix point in its domain of regularity. Moreover, we show that using this realization we can evaluate the function on all of its domain (of matrices of all sizes) and also with respect to any stably finite algebra. As a corollary we obtain a new proof of the theorem by Cohn and Amitsur, that equivalence of two rational expressions over matrices implies that the expressions are equivalent over all stably finite algebras. Applications to the matrix valued and the symmetric cases are presented as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AUTHORSHIP collaboration ,ALGEBRA - Abstract
Pascal's theorem gives a synthetic geometric condition for six points a,...,f in P2 to lie on a conic. Namely, that the intersection points ab¯∩de¯, af¯∩dc¯, ef¯∩bc¯ are aligned. One could ask an analogous question in higher dimension: is there a coordinate‐free condition for d+4 points in Pd to lie on a degree d rational normal curve? In this paper we find many of these conditions by writing in the Grassmann–Cayley algebra the defining equations of the parameter space of d+4‐ordered points in Pd that lie on a rational normal curve. These equations were introduced and studied in a previous joint work of the authors with Giansiracusa and Moon. We conclude with an application in the case of seven points on a twisted cubic.

POISSON algebras ,LOGICAL prediction ,LIE algebras ,ALGEBRA - Abstract
For a Lie algebra L, let S(L) denote the symmetric Poisson algebra and s(L) the truncated symmetric Poisson algebra of L. In characteristic p≠2, the conditions under which these Poisson algebras are solvable were established by Monteiro Alves and Petrogradsky in (J. Algebra 488 (2017) 244–281). The characterization in the harder case p=2 was left as an open problem and a related conjecture formulated. In this paper, we prove a corrected version of that conjecture, which thereby completes the classification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main aim of this paper is to generalize the classical concept of a positive operator, and to develop a general extension theory, which overcomes not only the lack of a Hilbert space structure, but also the lack of a normable topology. The concept of anti‐duality carries an adequate structure to define positivity in a natural way, and is still general enough to cover numerous important areas where the Hilbert space theory cannot be applied. Our running example – illustrating the applicability of the general setting to spaces bearing poor geometrical features – comes from noncommutative integration theory. Namely, representable extension of linear functionals of involutive algebras will be governed by their induced operators. The main theorem, to which the vast majority of the results is built, gives a complete and constructive characterization of those operators that admit a continuous positive extension to the whole space. Various properties such as commutation, or minimality and maximality of special extensions will be studied in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rickard proved that for certain self‐injective algebras, a stable equivalence induced from an exact functor is a stable equivalence of Morita type, in the sense of Broué. In this paper we study singular equivalences of finite‐dimensional algebras induced from tensor product functors. We prove that for certain Gorenstein algebras, a singular equivalence induced from tensoring with a suitable complex of bimodules induces a singular equivalence of Morita type with level, in the sense of Wang. This recovers Rickard's theorem in the self‐injective case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we review deformation, cohomology and homotopy theories of relative Rota–Baxter (RB$\mathsf {RB}$) Lie algebras, which have attracted quite much interest recently. Using Voronov's higher derived brackets, one can obtain an L∞$L_\infty$‐algebra whose Maurer–Cartan elements are relative RB$\mathsf {RB}$ Lie algebras. Then using the twisting method, one can obtain the L∞$L_\infty$‐algebra that controls deformations of a relative RB$\mathsf {RB}$ Lie algebra. Meanwhile, the cohomologies of relative RB$\mathsf {RB}$ Lie algebras can also be defined with the help of the twisted L∞$L_\infty$‐algebra. Using the controlling algebra approach, one can also introduce the notion of homotopy relative RB$\mathsf {RB}$ Lie algebras with close connection to pre‐Lie∞$_\infty$‐algebras. Finally, we briefly review deformation, cohomology and homotopy theories of relative RB$\mathsf {RB}$ Lie algebras of nonzero weights. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We show that the Iwahori--Hecke algebras Hn of type An-1 satisfy homological stability, where homology is interpreted as an appropriate Tor group. Our result precisely recovers Nakaoka's homological stability result for the symmetric groups in the case that the defining parameter is equal to 1. We believe that this paper, and our joint work with Boyd on Temperley--Lieb algebras, are the first time that the techniques of homological stability have been applied to algebras that are not group algebras.
