Algebraic scheme for constructing deformations of structure constants for associative algebras generated by a deformation driving algebras (DDAs) is discussed. An ideal of left divisors of zero plays a central role in this construction.…

We provide a superselection theory of symmetry defects in 2+1D symmetry enriched topological (SET) order in the infinite volume setting. For a finite symmetry group $G$ with a unitary on-site action, our formalism produces a $G$-crossed…

Conformal algebra is an axiomatic description of the operator product expansion of chiral fields in conformal field theory. On the other hand, it is an adequate tool for the study of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras satisfying the locality…

In this paper, we first recall the notion of (noncommutative) Poisson conformal algebras and describe some constructions of them. Then we study the formal distribution (noncommutative) Poisson algebras and coefficient (noncommutative)…

We classify the representation type of the descent algebras of type $\A$ in the positive characteristic case. The algebras have finite representation type only for a few small degrees; otherwise, they are wild. Our main reduction method…

A commutative algebra over a field gives rise to a representation of the category of finite sets and surjective maps. We consider the restriction of this representation to the subcategory of sets of cardinality at most $r$. For each $r$, we…

The role of automorphisms of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras in conformal field theory is examined. Two main types of applications are discussed; they are related to the enhancement and reduction of symmetry, respectively. The structures…

A basic finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ is isomorphic to a quotient of a tensor algebra by an admissible ideal. The category of left modules over the algebra is isomorphic to the category of representations…

We first establish several general properties of modality of algebraic group actions. In particular, we introduce the notion of a modality-regular action and prove that every visible action is modality-regular. Then, using these results, we…

Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…
