We describe families of complete orthogonal bases of full rank matrices which span the vector spaces of square matrices. The proposed bases generalise non-trivially the Pauli matrice while shedding light on their algebraic properties.…

We consider the variety of Filippov ($n$-Lie) algebra structures on an $(n+1)$-dimensional vector space. The group $GL_n(K)$ acts on it, and we study the orbit closures with respect to the Zariski topology. This leads to the definition of…

We introduce a notion of rank completion for bi-modules over a finite tracial von Neumann algebra. We show that the functor of rank completion is exact and that the category of complete modules is abelian with enough projective objects.…

One of the most significant discrete invariants of a quadratic form $\phi$ over a field $k$ is its (full) splitting pattern, a finite sequence of integers which describes the possible isotropy behaviour of $\phi$ under scalar extension to…

Let $f$ bea noncommutativepolynomial of degree $m\ge 1$ over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic $0$. If $n\ge m-1$ and $\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_3$ are nonzero elements from $F$ such that $\alpha_1+\alpha_2+\alpha_3=0$,…

Let ${\bf M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ be the algebra of $n\times n$ matrices over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. We consider linear maps $\Phi: {\bf M}_n(\mathbb{F}) \rightarrow {\bf M}_r(\mathbb{F})$ preserving matrices annihilated by a fixed…

We show that singular Riemannian foliations, or, more generally, manifold submetries, defined on a compact normal homogeneous space, have algebraic nature. Moreover, in this case there exists a one-to-one correspondence between algebras of…

While not obvious from its initial motivation in linear algebra, there are many context where iterated traces can be defined. In this paper we prove a very general theorem about iterated 2-categorical traces. We show that many…

We introduce the notion of biexactness for general von Neumann algebras, naturally extending the notion from group theory. We show that biexactness implies solidity for von Neumann algebras, and that many of the examples of solid von…

We prove a noetherian criterion for a sequence of modules with linear maps between them. This generalizes a noetherian criterion of Gan and Li for infinite EI categories. We apply our criterion to the linear categories associated to certain…

The graded Lie algebra associated with the Nottingham group over a field of prime characteristic serves as a fundamental example of Nottingham algebras, a class of infinite-dimensional, positively graded thin algebras. This paper completes…

The dimension of any module over an algebra of affiliated operators ${\mathcal U}$ of a finite von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal A}$ is defined using a trace on ${\mathcal A}.$ All zero-dimensional ${\mathcal U}$-modules constitute the torsion…

We characterize the connection between closed and $\sigma$-finite measures on orthogonal projections of von Neumann algebras.

Solving a well-known problem of Maharam, Talagrand [17] constructed an exhaustive non uniformly exhaustive submeasure, thus also providing the first example of a Maharam algebra that is not a measure algebra. To each exhaustive submeasure…

Let $F/F_0$ be a quadratic extension of totally real number fields, and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $F$ which is isogenous to its Galois conjugate over $F_0$. A quadratic extension $M/F$ is said to be almost totally complex (ATC) if…

Extensions of one-parameter operator semigroups on Archimedean vector lattices to their order/ru-completions are studied. Existence and uniqueness of the extension to the ru-completion is established in the class of positive semigroups. An…

For a positive linear map F and a normal matrix N, we show that |F(N)| is bounded by some simple linear combinations in the unitary orbit of F(|N|). Several elegant sharp inequalities are derived, especially for the Schur product.

Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…

We investigate surjective isometries between projection lattices of two von Neumann algebras. We show that such a mapping is characterized by means of Jordan $^*$-isomorphisms. In particular, we prove that two von Neumann algebras without…

The aim of this note is to define certain sheaves of vertex algebras on smooth manifolds. For each smooth complex algebraic (or analytic) manifold $X$, we construct a sheaf $\Omega^{ch}_X$, called the {\bf chiral de Rham complex} of $X$. It…
