We find an infinite dimensional free algebra which lives at large N in any SU(N)-invariant action or Hamiltonian theory of bosonic matrices. The natural basis of this algebra is a free-algebraic generalization of Chebyshev polynomials and…

Algorithmic computation in polynomial rings is a classical topic in mathematics. However, little attention has been given to the case of rings with an infinite number of variables until recently when theoretical efforts have made possible…

Gr\"obner bases are a fundamental tool when studying ideals in multivariate polynomial rings. More recently there has been a growing interest in transferring techniques from the field case to other coefficient rings, most notably Euclidean…

Let K be a field with a valuation $\nu$ and let L = K(x) be a transcendental extension of K, then any valuation $\mu$ of L which extends $\nu$ is determined by its restriction to the polynomial ring K[x]. We know how to associate to this…

For a fixed irreducible polynomial $F$ we study the set $\mathcal V_F$ of all valuations on $K[x]$ bounded by valuations whose support is $(F)$. The first main result presents a characterization for valuations in $\mathcal V_F$ in terms of…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $G$ be a finite group. We consider graded Verbally prime $T$-ideals in the free $G$-graded algebra. It turns out that equivalent definitions in the ordinary case (i.e.…

S. Alesker has shown that if $G$ is a compact subgroup of O(n) acting transitively on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$ then the vector space $Val^G$ of continuous, translation-invariant, $G$-invariant convex valuations on $R^n$ has the structure…

Given a closed ideal $I$ in a C*-algebra $A$, we develop techniques to bound the real rank of $A$ in terms of the real ranks of $I$ and $A/I$. Building on work of Brown, Lin and Zhang, we obtain complete solutions if $I$ belongs to any of…
