Let $\mathbb K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $\mathbb K[X]$ the polynomial ring in $n$ variables. The vector space $T_n = \mathbb K[X]$ is a $\mathbb K[X]$-module with the action $x_i \cdot v = v_{x_i}'$ for $v…

We review the known results about characteristically nilpotent complex Lie algebras, as well as we comment recent developements in the theory.

A sign pattern is a matrix whose entries belong to the set $\{+,-,0\}$. A sign pattern requires a unique inertia if every real matrix in its qualitative class has the same inertia. Symmetric tree sign patterns requiring a unique inertia has…

We give a geometric classification of complex $n$-dimensional $2$-step nilpotent (all, commutative and anticommutative) algebras. Namely, has been found the number of irreducible components and their dimensions. As a corollary, we have a…

We introduce left and right series of left semi-braces. This allows to define left and right nilpotent left semi-braces. We study the structure of such semi-braces and generalize some results, known for skew left braces, to left…

We are interested in the phenomenon of the essential spectrum instability for a class of unbounded (block) Jacobi matrices. We give a series of sufficient conditions for the matrices from certain classes to have a discrete spectrum on a…

A tree diagram is a tree with positive integral weight on each edge, which is a notion generalized from the Dynkin diagrams of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. We introduce two nilpotent Lie algebras and their extended solvable Lie…

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 real symmetric matrix (resp., tensor) is said to be copositive if the associated quadratic (resp., homogeneous) form is greater than or equal to zero over the nonnegative orthant. The problem of detecting their copositivity is NP-hard.…

We consider a weak version of the Rost Nilpotence Principle. For characteristic zero fields k, we show that if it holds for all smooth projective schemes over k, then the Rost Nilpotence Principle does also. We also correct the proof of a…

Let $\mathcal{V}$ be a congruence permutable variety generated by a finite nilpotent algebra $\mathbf{A}$. If $\mathbf{A}$ is a product of algebras of prime power order, then the class $\mathcal{V}_\text{si}$ of subdirectly irreducible…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $\mathcal{F}$ be a fusion system over a finite $p$-group $P$. A fusion system $\mathcal{F}$ is said to be nilpotent if $\mathcal{F}=\mathcal{F}_{P}(P)$. In this paper we provide new criteria for saturated…

In a precedent article, we computed the set $\textbf{C}(K)$ of central elements of an unstable algebra $K$ over the Steenrod algebra, in the sense of Dwyer and Wilkerson, when $K$ is noetherian and $nil_1$-closed. For $K$ noetherian and $k$…

We give a geometric classification of $n$-dimensional nilpotent, commutative nilpotent and anticommutative nilpotent algebras. We prove that the corresponding geometric varieties are irreducible, find their dimensions and describe explicit…

It is well-known that a nilpotent n by n matrix B is determined up to conjugacy by a partition of n formed by the sizes of the Jordan blocks of B. We call this partition the Jordan type of B. We obtain partial results on the following…

We prove that the maximal nilpotent subalgebra of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra has an (essentially unique) Euclidean metric with respect to which the Laplace operator in the chain complex is scalar on each component of a given degree. Moreover,…

The parameter coclass has been used successfully in the study of nilpotent algebraic objects of different kinds. In this paper a definition of coclass for nilpotent semigroups is introduced and semigroups of coclass 0, 1, and 2 are…

Persymmetric Jacobi matrices are invariant under reflection with respect to the anti-diagonal. The associated orthogonal polynomials have distinctive properties that are discussed. They are found in particular to be also orthogonal on the…

Let $\mathfrak{n}$ be a locally nilpotent infinite-dimensional Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $\mathrm{U}(\mathfrak{n})$ and $\mathrm{S}(\mathfrak{n})$ be its universal enveloping algebra and its symmetric algebra respectively. Consider…

We answer a question by Shestakov on the Jacobson radical in differential polynomial rings. We show that if R is a locally nilpotent ring with a derivation D then R[X;D] need not be Jacobson radical. We also show that J(R[X;D])\cap R is a…
