Abstract

For a given extension AEA \subset E of associative algebras we describe and classify up to an isomorphism all AA-complements of EE, i.e. all subalgebras XX of EE such that E=A+XE = A + X and AX={0}A \cap X = \{0\}. Let XX be a given complement and (A,X,,,,)(A, \, X, \, \triangleright, \triangleleft, \leftharpoonup, \rightharpoonup \bigl) the canonical matched pair associated with the factorization E=A+XE = A + X. We introduce a new type of deformation of the algebra XX by means of the given matched pair and prove that all AA-complements of EE are isomorphic to such a deformation of XX. Several explicit examples involving the matrix algebra are provided.
