Let J and J' be Jordan rings. We prove under some conditions that if J contains a nontrivial idempotent, then n-multiplicative maps and n-multiplicative derivations from J to J' are additive maps.

We exhibit Osserman metrics with non-nilpotent Jacobi operators and with non-trivial Jordan normal form in neutral signature (n,n) for any n which is at least 3. These examples admit a natural almost para-Hermitian structure and are semi…

It is shown that any finite-dimensional homomorphic image of an inverse limit of nilpotent not-necessarily-associative algebras over a field is nilpotent. More generally, this is true of algebras over a general commutative ring k, with…

We prove that in the graded commutative ring $K_{*}(\mathbb{S})$, all positive degree elements are multiplicatively nilpotent. The analogous statements also hold for $TC_{*}(\mathbb{S};\mathbb{Z}^{\wedge}_p)$ and $K_{*}(\mathbb{Z})$.

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a normed field. In this work, we prove that every nil complete metric $\mathbb{F}$-algebra is nilpotent when $\mathbb{F}$ has characteristic zero. This result generalizes Grabiner's Theorem for Banach algebras, first…

Let $B$ be a nilpotent matrix and suppose that its Jordan canonical form is determined by a partition $\lambda$. Then it is known that its nilpotent commutator $N_B$ is an irreducible variety and that there is a unique partition $\mu$ such…

The 4-by-4 nilpotent matrices the numerical ranges of which have non-parallel flat portions on their boundary that are on lines equidistant from the origin are characterized. Their numerical ranges are always symmetric about a line through…

In my article 5-Engel algebras published on the arXiv in 2023 I proved that 5-Engel Lie algebras of characteristic zero or prime characteristic $p>7$ are nilpotent of class at most 11. In this note I investigate the ideal ID$(x)$ generated…

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…

In this paper, we first prove that $u,v,h$ are linearly dependent over ${\bf K}$ if $JH$ is nilpotent and $H$ has the form: $H=(u(x,y,z),v(u,h),h(x,y))$ with $H(0)=0$ or $H=(u(x,y),v(u,h),h(x,y,z))$ with $H(0)=0$. Then we classify…

Let $k$ be a field and let $A=\bigoplus_{n\ge 1}A_n$ be a positively graded $k$-algebra. We recall that $A$ is graded nilpotent if for every $d\ge 1$, the subalgebra of $A$ generated by elements of degree $d$ is nilpotent. We give a method…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p >0$. We consider the variety of nilpotent pairs $(A,B)$ with $[A,B]=\lambda I$, namely the set of pairs $ X = \{ (A,B) \in M_n(k) \times M_n(k) \mid A,B \text{ nilpotent},…

First we describe the Skjelbred-Sund method for classifying nilpotent Lie algebras. Then we use it to classify 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over any field of characteristic not 2. The proof of this classification is essentially…

In this paper we completely characterize all possible pairs of Jordan canonical forms for mutually annihilating nilpotent pairs, i.e. pairs $(A,B)$ of nilpotent matrices such that $AB=BA=0$.

We say that a list of complex numbers is "realisable" if it is the spectrum of some (entrywise) nonnegative matrix. The Nonnegative Inverse Eigenvalue Problem (NIEP) is the problem of characterising all realisable lists. Although the NIEP…

A sign pattern is a matrix that has entries from the set $\{+,-,0\}$. An $n\times n$ sign pattern $\mathcal{P}$ is called consistent if every real matrix in its qualitative class has exactly $k$ real eigenvalues and $n-k$ nonreal…

A loop is automorphic if its inner mappings are automorphisms. Using so-called associated operations, we show that every commutative automorphic loop of odd prime power order is centrally nilpotent. Starting with anisotropic planes in the…

A real $n$-by-$n$ idempotent matrix $A$ with all entries having the same absolute value is called {\it absolutely flat}. We consider the possible ranks of such matrices and herein characterize the triples: size, constant, and rank for which…

Given a pair of nilpotent Lie algebras $A$ and $B$, an extension $0\xrightarrow{} A\xrightarrow{} L\xrightarrow{} B\xrightarrow{} 0$ is not necessarily nilpotent. However, if $L_1$ and $L_2$ are extensions which correspond to lifts of a map…

In this paper the notion of nilpotent right transversal and solvable right transversal has been defined. Further, it is proved that if a core-free subgroup has a generating solvable transversal or a generating nilpotent transversal, then…
