The present paper continues a series of papers of the author (some of them are written in collaboration), in which the Yoneda algebras are calculated for several families of algebras of dihedral and semidihedral type (in K. Erdmann’s classification). In the paper, the Yoneda algebras are described (in terms of quivers with relations) for the algebras of semidihedral type that form the family SD(3 $$\mathcal{K}$$ ). Bibliography: 10 titles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Pseudoeffect (PE) algebras have been introduced as a noncommutative generalization of effect algebras. We study in this paper PE algebras with the special property of having a nonempty state space. To this end, we consider PE algebras which are po-group intervals and which are, in a certain sense, noncommutative only in the small. Such a PE algebra is shown to possess a nontrivial commutative homomorphic image from which then follows that there exist states. A typical example is given by an interval of the lexicographical product of two po-groups the first of which is abelian. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
