We investigate quasivarieties of (distributive) p-algebras. We sharpen some previous results, give a better picture of the subquasivariety lattice, and prove that quasivarieties generated by free p-algebras belong to a rather small…

In ``A remark about the description of free products of groups'', Proc. Cambgridge Philos. Soc 62(1966), io ha studite lo que occurre in le circumstantia que un gruppo $G$ ha un subensemble $P$ tal que tote elemento de $G$ es representabile…

We construct a generalized version for the free product of unital C*-algebras over a family of unital C*-subalgebras, starting from the group-analogue. When all the subalgebras are the same, we recover the free product with amalgamation…

Let $k$ be a field and let $A=\bigoplus_{n\ge 1}A_n$ be a positively graded $k$-algebra. We recall that $A$ is graded nilpotent if for every $d\ge 1$, the subalgebra of $A$ generated by elements of degree $d$ is nilpotent. We give a method…

Let $A$ and $B$ be two algebraic quantum groups (i.e. multiplier Hopf algebras with integrals). Assume that $B$ is a right $A$-module algebra and that $A$ is a left $B$-comodule coalgebra. If the action and coaction are matched, it is…

Let $K\langle X\rangle =K\langle X_1,...,X_n\rangle$ be the free algebra of $n$ generators over a field $K$, and let $R\langle X\rangle =R\langle X_1,...,X_n\rangle$ be the free algebra of $n$ generators over an arbitrary commutative ring…

In previous work, to each Hopf algebra H and each invertible right two-cocycle on H, Eli Aljadeff and the first-named author attached a subalgebra B of the free commutative Hopf algebra S generated by the coalgebra underlying H; the algebra…

Let $R$ be an algebra over a commutative ring $k$. Suppose that $R$ is endowed with a descending filtration indexed on an ordered group $(G,<)$ such that the restriction to $k$ is positive. We show that the existence of free algebras on a…

Suppose F is a finite set of selfadjoint elements in a tracial von Neumann algebra M. For $\alpha >0$, F is $\alpha$-bounded if the free packing $\alpha$-entropy of F is bounded from above. We say that M is strongly 1-bounded if M has a…

We define two coproducts for cycle-free oriented graphs, thus building up two commutative con- nected graded Hopf algebras, such that one is a comodule-coalgebra on the other, thus generalizing the result obtained previously for Hopf…

The equivariant version of semiprojectivity was recently introduced by the first author. We study properties of this notion, in particular its relation to ordinary semiprojectivity of the crossed product and of the algebra itself. We show…

We construct the analogue of Takeuchi's free Hopf algebra in the setting of Poisson Hopf algebras. More precisely, we prove that there exists a free Poisson Hopf algebra on any coalgebra or, equivalently that the forgetful functor from the…

Let $F$ be a field with at least three elements and $G$ a locally finite group. This paper aims to show that if either $F$ is algebraically closed or the characteristic of $F$ is positive, then an element in the group algebra $FG$ is a…

We consider homogeneity properties of Boolean algebras that have nonprincipal ultrafilters which are countably generated.It is shown that a Boolean algebra B is homogeneous if it is the union of countably generated nonprincipal ultrafilters…

We say that an algebra is zero-product balanced if $ab\otimes c$ and $a\otimes bc$ agree modulo tensors of elements with zero-product. This is closely related to but more general than the notion of a zero-product determined algebra of…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$ and let $\delta$ be a $\sigma$-derivation of $K$. We show that the division ring $D=K(x;\sigma,\delta)$ either has the property that every finitely generated…

A finite group $G$ is \emph{coprimely-invariably generated} if there exists a set of generators $\{g_1, ..., g_u\}$ of $G$ with the property that the orders $|g_1|, ..., |g_u|$ are pairwise coprime and that for all $x_1, ..., x_u \in G$ the…

The theory of bounded cohomology of groups has many applications. A key open problem is to compute the full bounded cohomology $H_b^n(F, R)$ of a non-abelian free group $F$ with trivial real coefficients. It is known that $H_b^n(F,R)$ is…

We develop the theory of subproduct systems over the monoid $\mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{N}$, and the non-self-adjoint operator algebras associated with them. These are double sequences of Hilbert spaces $\{X(m,n)\}_{m,n=0}^\infty$ equipped…

We show that pseudovarieties of finitely generated algebras, i.e., classes $C$ of finitely generated algebras closed under finite products, homomorphic images, and subalgebras, can be described via a uniform structure $U$ on the free…
