Let $R$ be the polydisc algebra or the Wiener algebra. It is shown that the group $SL_n(R)$ is generated by the subgroup of elementary matrices with all diagonal entries $1$ and at most one nonzero off-diagonal entry. The result an easy…
We prove that any finitely generated one ended group has linear end depth. Moreover, we give alternative proofs to theorems relating the growth of a finitely generated group to the number of its ends.
The algebra of holomorphic polynomial Sp_{2n}-invariants of k complex 2n by 2n matrices (under diagonal conjugation action) is generated by the traces of words in these matrices and their symplectic adjoints. No concrete minimal generating…
It is shown how to construct *-homomorphic quantum stochastic Feller cocycles for certain unbounded generators, and so obtain dilations of strongly continuous quantum dynamical semigroups on C* algebras; this generalises the construction of…
A classical theorem of Forster asserts that a finite module $M$ of rank $\leq n$ over a Noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$ can be generated by $n + d$ elements. We prove a generalization of this result, with "module" replaced by…
The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (a)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…
We prove existence of subfactors of finite depth of the hyperfinite II_1 factor with indices (5+sqrt{13})/2= 4.302... and (5+sqrt{17})/2=4.561.... The existence of the former was announced by the second named author in 1993 and that of the…
Growing out of the initial connections between subfactors and knot theory that gave rise to the Jones polynomial, Jones' axiomatization of the standard invariant of an extremal finite index $II_1$ subfactor as a spherical $C^*$-planar…
There are several results in the literature concerning $p$-groups $G$ with a maximal elementary abelian normal subgroup of rank $k$ due to Thompson, Mann and others. Following an idea of Sambale we obtain bounds for the number of generators…
We characterize finite index depth 2 inclusions of type II_1 factors in terms of actions of weak Kac algebras and weak C*-Hopf algebras. If N\subset M \subset M_1 \subset M_2 \subset ... is the Jones tower constructed from such an inclusion…
We investigate a (potentially infinite) series of subfactors, called $3^n$ subfactors, including $A_4$, $A_7$, and the Haagerup subfactor as the first three members corresponding to $n=1,2,3$. Generalizing our previous work for odd $n$, we…
We give a minimal system of 476 generators (resp. 510 generators) for the algebra of SL(2,C)-covariant polynomials on binary forms of degree 9 (resp. degree 10). These results were only known as conjectures so far. The computations rely on…
Recently Brian Hartwig and the second author found a presentation for the three-point $sl_2$ loop algebra by generators and relations. To obtain this presentation they defined a Lie algebra $\boxtimes$ by generators and relations, and…
We prove that for the mixed $q$-Gaussian algebra $\Gamma_{Q}(H_{\mathbb{R}})$ associated to a real Hilbert space $H_{\mathbb{R}}$ and a real symmetric matrix $Q=(q_{ij})$ with $\sup|q_{ij}|<1$, the generator subalgebra is singular.
We study the Fourier spectrum of functions $f\colon \{0,1\}^{mk} \to \{-1,0,1\}$ which can be written as a product of $k$ Boolean functions $f_i$ on disjoint $m$-bit inputs. We prove that for every positive integer $d$, \[ \sum_{S \subseteq…
Algebras generated by strictly positive matrices are described up to similarity, including the commutative, simple, and semisimple cases. We provide sufficient conditions for some block diagonal matrix algebras to be generated by a set of…
Given a metric space $(X,d)$, a set $S\subseteq X$ is called a $k$-\emph{metric generator} for $X$ if any pair of different points of $X$ is distinguished by at least $k$ elements of $S$. A $k$-\emph{metric basis} is a $k$-metric generator…
We prove the finiteness of the genus of finite-dimensional division algebras over many infinitely generated fields. More precisely, let $K$ be a finite field extension of a field which is a purely transcendental extension of infinite…
The goal of this paper is to study the possible monoids appearing as the associated monoids of the initial algebra of a finitely generated homogeneous $\Bbbk$-subalgebra of a polynomial ring $\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. Clearly, any affine…
For $R_1,R_2,R_3,\dots$ a family of non isomorphic rings (or algebras) having each only 2 idempotents ($1$ and $0$), we classify up to isomorphism the rings (or algebras) obtained by taking products of powers of the different $R_i$. We show…
