It is shown that over an arbitrary countable field, there exists a finitely generated algebra that is nil, infinite dimensional, and has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension at most three.

Let $k$ be an uncountable field. We show that a finitely generated prime Goldie $k$-algebra of quadratic growth is either primitive or satisfies a polynomial identity, answering a question of Small in the affirmative.

Smoktunowicz, Lenagan, and the second-named author recently gave an example of a nil algebra of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension at most three. Their construction requires a countable base field, however. We show that for any field $k$ and any…

We construct a nil algebra over a countable field which has finite but non-zero Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.

We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…

We construct finitely generated nil algebras with prescribed growth rate. In particular, any increasing submultiplicative function is realized as the growth function of a nil algebra up to a polynomial error term and an arbitrarily slow…

Let $A$ be a finitely generated $K$-algebra that is a domain of GK dimension less than 3, and let $Q(A)$ denote the quotient division algebra of $A$. We show that if $D$ is a division subalgebra of $Q(A)$ of GK dimension at least 2 then…

We classify infinite-dimensional decomposable braided vector spaces arising from abelian groups whose components are either points or blocks such that the corresponding Nichols algebras have finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. In particular…

Let $k$ be a field and let $R$ be a countable dimensional prime von Neumann regular $k$-algebra. We show that $R$ is primitive, answering a special case of a question of Kaplansky.

Let $(V,c)$ be a finite-dimensional braided vector space of diagonal type. We show that the Gelfand Kirillov dimension of the Nichols algebra $\mathfrak{B}(V)$ is finite if and only if the corresponding root system is finite, that is…

We first offer a fast method for calculating the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of a finitely presented commutative algebra by investigating certain finite set. Then we establish a Groebner-Shirshov bases theory for bicommutative algebras, and…

We consider affine representable algebras, that is, finitely generated algebras over a field that can be embedded into some matrix algebra over a commutative algebra. We show that this algebra can in fact be chosen to be a polynomial…

For central simple finitely generated algebras of finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension and for their division algebras upper bounds are obtained for the transcendence degree of their commutative subalgebras and subfields respectively. In the…

Given a finitely generated free monoid $X$ and a morphism $\phi : X\to X$, we show that one can construct an algebra, which we call an iterative algebra, in a natural way. We show that many ring theoretic properties of iterative algebras…

Let k be an algebraically closed field, let K/k be a finitely generated field extension of transcendence degree 2 with automorphism sigma, and let A be an N-graded subalgebra of Q = K[t; sigma] with A_n finite dimensional over k for all n.…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$. We survey some results on algebras of finite global dimension and address some open problems.

For an arbitrary countable field, we construct an associative algebra that is graded, generated by finitely many degree-1 elements, is Jacobson radical, is not nil, is prime, is not PI, and has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two. This refutes a…

Let $H$ be a pointed Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If $H$ is a domain with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension greater than or equal to two, then $H$ contains a Hopf subalgebra of Gelfand-Kirillov…
