Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring. A well-known factorization problem is whether any matrix in $\mathrm{SL}_n(R)$ is a product of elementary matrices with entries in $R$. To solve the problem, we use two approaches based on the notion of…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional associative $\mathbb{K}$-algebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic zero. To $A$, we can associate its basic form that is given by a quiver $Q = (Q_0, Q_1)$ with an admissible…

An associative $*$-algebra is introduced (containing a $TTR$-algebra as a subalgebra) that implements the form factor axioms, and hence indirectly the Wightman axioms, in the following sense: Each $T$-invariant linear functional over the…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional $Q-$algebra and $\Gamma subset A$ a $Z-$order. We classify those $A$ with the property that $Z^2$ does not embed in $\mathcal{U}(\Gamma)$. We call this last property the hyperbolic property. We apply this in…

We introduce partial group algebras with relations in a purely algebraic framework. Given a group and a set of relations, we define an algebraic partial action and prove that the resulting partial skew group ring is isomorphic to the…

We show that if a finite dimensional Hopf algebra over ${\bf C}$ has a basis such that all the structure constants are non-negative, then the Hopf algebra must be given by a finite group $G$ and a factorization $G=G_+G_-$ into two…

A commutative semigroup of abstract factorials is defined in the context of the ring of integers. We study such factorials for their own sake, whether they are or are not connected to sets of integers. Given a subset X of the positive…

Following a recent proposal of Richard Borcherds to regard fusion as the ring-like tensor product of modules of a {\em quantum ring}, a generalization of rings and vertex operators, we define fusion as a certain quotient of the (vector…

Recognizing when a ring is a complete matrix ring is of significant importance in algebra. It is well-known folklore that a ring $R$ is a complete $n\times n$ matrix ring, so $R\cong M_{n}(S)$ for some ring $S$, if and only if it contains a…

For every algebraically closed field $\boldsymbol k$ of characteristic different from $2$, we prove the following: (1) Generic finite dimensional (not necessarily associative) $\boldsymbol k$-algebras of a fixed dimension, considered up to…

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate a fusion rule algebra arising from irreducible characters of a compact group $G$ and a closed subgroup $G_0$ of $G$ with finite index. The convolution of this fusion rule algebra is…

After the language of module and theirs morphisms, this short course presents matricial calculus and determinants in a commutative ring as appliction of ``remarquable identities'' in the ring of polynomials with integer coefficients with…

Let $\mathbf{B}$ be a basis for an $r$-dimensional algebra $A$ over a field or commutative ring with unity. The semifusions of $\mathbf{B}$ are the partitions of $\mathbf{B}$ whose characteristic functions form the basis of a subalgebra of…

We review the main topics concerning Fusion Rule Algebras (FRA) of Rational Conformal Field Theories. After an exposition of their general properties, we examine known results on the complete classification for low number of fields ($\leq…

The superconformal algebraic approach to hadronic physics is used to construct a semiclassical effective theory for nucleons which incorporates essential nonperturbative dynamical features, such as the emergence of a confining scale and the…

The behavior of factorization properties in various ring extensions is a central theme in commutative algebra. Classically, the UFDs are (completely) integrally closed and tend to behave well in standard ring extensions, with the notable…

For an integral domain $R$ and a commutative cancellative monoid $M$, the ring consisting of all polynomial expressions with coefficients in $R$ and exponents in $M$ is called the monoid ring of $M$ over $R$. An integral domain is called…

Computational effects are commonly modelled by monads, but often a monad can be presented by an algebraic theory of operations and equations. This talk is about monads and algebraic theories for languages for inference, and their…

We study fusion rings for degenerate minimal models ($p=q$ case) for N=0 and N=1 (super)conformal algebras. We consider a distinguished family of modules at the level $c=1$ and $c=3/2$ and show that the corresponding fusion rings are…

We investigate the structure of an alternative finite dimensional $\Q$-algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ subject to the condition that for a $\Z$-order $\Gamma \subset \mathfrak{A}$, and thus for every $\Z$-order of $\mathfrak{A}$, the loop of units…
