The concept of descent algebras over a field of characteristic zero is extended to define descent algebras over a field of prime characteristic. Some basic algebraic structure of the latter, including its radical and irreducible modules, is…

Which matrices can be written as sums or products of square-zero matrices? This question is the central premise of this dissertation. Over the past 25 years a significant body of research on products and linear combinations of square-zero…

We study the problem of when a periodic square matrix of order $n$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$ is decomposable into the sum of a square-zero matrix and a torsion matrix, and show that this decomposition can always be obtained for…

We study the phenomenological implications of the presence of two zeros in a magic neutrino mass matrix. We find that only two such patterns of the neutrino mass matrix are experimentally acceptable. We express all the neutrino observables…

We develop a general approach to the study of maximal nilpotent subsemigroups of finite semigroups. This approach can be used to recover many known classifications of maximal nilpotent subsemigroups, in particular, for the symmetric inverse…

The focus of the paper is on the maximal dimension of affine subspaces of nilpotent $n \times n $ matrices with fixed rank. In particular we obtain two results in the "border" cases rank equal to $n-1$ and rank equal to $1$.

Given a lattice $\mathbb{L}$ and a class $K$ of algebraic structures, we say that $\mathbb{L}$ \emph{forces nilpotency} in $K$ if every algebra $\mathbf{A} \in K$ whose congruence lattice $\mathrm{Con} (\mathbf{A})$ is isomorphic to…

Let $G$ be a finite soluble group and $G^{(k)}$ the $k$th term of the derived series of $G$. We prove that $G^{(k)}$ is nilpotent if and only if $|ab|=|a||b|$ for any $\delta_k$-values $a,b\in G$ of coprime orders. In the course of the…

A relationship between nilpotency and primeness in a module is investigated. Reduced modules are expressed as sums of prime modules. It is shown that presence of nilpotent module elements inhibits a module from possessing good structural…

We study general nilpotent algebras. The results obtained are new even for the classical algebras, such as associative or Lie algebras. We single out certain generic properties of finite-dimensional algebras, mostly over infinite fields.…

In [H-Y83], Herman and Yoccoz prove that for any given locally analytic (at $z=0$) power series $f(z)=z(\lambda +\sum_{i=1}^\infty a_iz^i)$ over a complete non-Archimedean field of characteristic $0$ if $|\lambda|=1$ and $\lambda$ is not a…

Roots of matrices are well-studied. The conditions for their existence are understood: The block sizes of nilpotent Jordan blocks, arranged in pairs, have to satisfy some simple algebraic property. More interesting are structured roots of…

We present a complete list of groups $G$ and fields $F$ for which: (i) the group of normalized units V(FG) of the group algebra FG is locally nilpotent; (ii) the group algebra FG has a finite number of nilpotent elements and V(FG) is an…

We study the set $\partition{\nb}$ of all possible Jordan canonical forms of nilpotent matrices commuting with a given nilpotent matrix $B$. We describe $\partition{\nb}$ in the special case when $B$ has only one Jordan block. In the…

We prove that the algebraic set of pairs of matrices with a diagonal commutator over a field of positive prime characteristic, its irreducible components, and their intersection are $F$-pure when the size of matrices is equal to 3.…

We propose a method for solving the hidden subgroup problem in nilpotent groups. The main idea is iteratively transforming the hidden subgroup to its images in the quotient groups by the members of a central series, eventually to its image…

This work presents a sample constructions of two algebras both with the ideal of relations defined by a finite Gr\"obner basis. For the first algebra the question whether a given element is nilpotent is algorithmically unsolvable, for the…

Coclass theory has been a highly successful approach towards the investigation and classification of finite nilpotent groups. Here we suggest a similar approach for finite nilpotent semigroups. This differs from the group theory setting in…

A well-known theorem of P. Hall, usually called Hall's criterion for nilpotence, states: a group G is nilpotent whenever it has a normal subgroup N such that G/[N,N] and N are nilpotent. We widely generalize this result, replacing groups…

Consider formal power series $f_1,\ldots, f_k\in\mathbb{Q}[[z]]$ that are defined as the solutions of a system of polynomial differential equations together with a sufficient number of initial conditions. Given $P\in…
