We study just infinite algebras which remain so upon extension of scalars by arbitrary field extensions. Such rings are called stably just infinite. We show that just infinite rings over algebraically closed fields are stably just infinite…
A prime ring $R$ with extended centroid $C$ is said to be exceptional if both $\text{\rm char}\,R=2$ and $\dim_CRC=4$. Herstein characterized additive subgroups $A$ of a nonexceptional simple ring $R$ satisfying $\big[A, [R,…
In this paper we introduce the concept of purely infinite rings, which in the simple case agrees with the already existing notion of pure infiniteness. We establish various permanence properties of this notion, with respect to passage to…
We extend the notion of chain algebra, originally defined in \cite{GN} for finite distributive lattices, to that of finite pure posets. We show this algebra corresponds to the Ehrhart ring of a (0,1)-polytope, termed the chain polytope, and…
By analogy with the well-established notions of just-infinite groups and just-infinite algebras, in particular $C^*$-algebras, we initiate a study of just-infinite $JB$-algebras, i.e. infinite dimensional $JB$-algebras for which all proper…
It is shown that if the universal enveloping algebra of a simple $\mathbb Z^n$-graded Lie algebra is Noetherian, then the Lie algebra is finite-dimensional.
An extension of algebras is a homomorphism of algebras preserving identities. We use extensions of algebras to study the finitistic dimension conjecture over Artin algebras. Let $f: B \to A$ be an extension of Artin algebras. We denote by…
Let $A$ be an associative commutative algebra with $1$ over a field of zero characteristic, $\{,\} : A \times A \to A$ is a Poisson bracket, $Z = \{ a \in A \mid \{a, A\} = (0) \}.$ We prove that if $A$ is simple as a Poisson algebra then…
The notion of derivation with invertible values as a derivation of ring with unity that only takes multiplicatively invertible or zero values appeared in a paper of Bergen, Herstein and Lanski, in which they determined the structure of…
We prove that if an algebra is either selfinjective, local or graded, then the Hochschild homology dimension of its trivial extension is infinite.
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a separable nuclear C*-algebra, and $\mathcal{B}$ be a nonunital separable simple $\mathcal{Z}$-stable C*-algebra. Continuing the work from Gabe-Lin-Ng, we classify all essential extensions, with large complement, of…
The Grigorchuk and Gupta-Sidki groups play fundamental role in modern group theory. Their natural analogues are self-similar nil Lie $p$-algebras. In characteristic zero, similar examples of Lie algebras do not exist (Martinez and…
It is well known that a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero is simple exactly when its derivation algebra is simple. In this paper we characterize those Lie algebras of arbitrary dimension over any field that…
Certain reduced free products of C*-algebras, (A,phi)=(A_1,phi_1)*(A_2,\phi_2), taken with respect to faithful states, at least one of which is not a trace, are shown to be purely infinite and simple. It is assumed that one of the A_i…
All results concern characteristic 2. Two procedures that to every simple Lie algebra assign simple Lie superalgebras, most of the latter new, are offered. We prove that every simple finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra is obtained as the…
We give an example of a finite-dimensional algebra with a 2-cluster tilting module and a simple module which has infinite complexity. This answers a question of Erdmann and Holm.
We refine the infinitesimal Hecke algebra associated to a 2-reflection group into a $\Z/2\Z$-graded Lie algebra, as a first step towards a global understanding of a natural $\mathbbm{N}$-graded object. We provide an interpretation of this…
It is shown that the crossed product of a unital AH-algebra with slow dimension growth by an endomorphism is purely infinite when it is simple, provided the endomorphism does not leave a trace state invariant and maps the unit to a full…
Some basic properties of the ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ are extended to entire rings. In particular, arithmetic in entire principal rings is very similar than arithmetic in the ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}$. These arithmetic properties…
We introduce the notion of basic superrank for varieties of algebras which generalizes that of basic rank. First we consider a number of varieties of nearly associative algebras over a field of characteristic $0$ that have infinite basic…
