Given a monic linear pencil L in g variables let D_L be its positivity domain, i.e., the set of all g-tuples X of symmetric matrices of all sizes making L(X) positive semidefinite. Because L is a monic linear pencil, D_L is convex with…

We show that every proper, dense ideal in a C*-algebra is contained in a prime ideal. It follows that a subset generates a C*-algebra as a not necessarily closed ideal if and only if it is not contained in any prime ideal. This allows us to…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a simple, $\sigma$-unital, non-unital, non-elementary C*-algebra and let $I_{min}$ be the intersection of all the ideals of $\mathcal M(\mathcal A)$ that properly contain $\mathcal A$. $I_{min}$ coincides with the ideal…

This article gives a class of Nullstellens\"atze for noncommutative polynomials. The singularity set of a noncommutative polynomial $f=f(x_1,\dots,x_g)$ is $Z(f)=(Z_n(f))_n$, where $Z_n(f)=\{X \in M_n^g: \det f(X) = 0\}.$ The first main…

We show that Hilbert's Nullstellensatz, the problem of deciding if a system of multivariate polynomial equations has a solution in the algebraic closure of the underlying field, lies in the counting hierarchy. More generally, we show that…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and ${\rm Nil}(R)$ be the set of nilpotent elements of $R$. The nil-graph of ideals of $R$ is defined as the graph $\mathbb{AG}_N(R)$ whose vertex set is $\{I:\ (0)\neq I\lhd R$ and there exists a…

By a result of Helton and McCullough, open bounded convex free semialgebraic sets are exactly open (matricial) solution sets D_L of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) L(X)>0. This paper gives a precise algebraic certificate for a polynomial…

This paper addresses the isomorphism problem for the universal (nonself-adjoint) operator algebras generated by a row contraction subject to homogeneous polynomial relations. We find that two such algebras are isometrically isomorphic if…

In the article "Non-commutative Grobner bases for commutative algebras", Eisenbud-Peeva-Sturmfels proved a number of results regarding Grobner bases and initial ideals of those ideals in the free associative algebra which contain the…

We solve the last standing open problem from the seminal paper by J. Gerlits and Zs. Nagy, which was later reposed by A. Miller, T. Orenshtein and B. Tsaban. Namely, we show that under p = c there is a \delta-set that is not a \gamma-set.…

In this article, we first describe all nonempty sets of integers S with the property that for all n and m in S, not necessarily distinct, the set {n-m,n+m} intersected with S consists of a single element. These are the sets with at most two…

Let $A$ be a finite commutative nilpotent $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra structure on $G$, an elementary abelian group of order $p^n$. If $K/k$ is a Galois extension of fields with Galois group $G$ and $A^p = 0$, then corresponding to $A$ is an…

A Nullstellensatz is a theorem providing information on polynomials that vanish on a certain set: David Hilbert's Nullstellensatz (1893) is a cornerstone of algebraic geometry, and Noga Alon's Combinatorial Nullstellensatz (1999) is a…

Fix an integral semisimple element $\lambda$ in the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of a complex reductive algebraic group $G$. Let $L$ denote the centralizer of $\lambda$ in $G$ and let $\mathfrak{g}(-1)$ denote the $-1$ eigenspace of…

We generalize the Abel--Hurwitz identities to an almost entirely noncommutative setting. Namely, let $V$ be a finite set of size $n$, and let $\mathbb{L}$ be any noncommutative ring. For each $s\in V$, let $x_{s}\in\mathbb{L}$. Set $x\left(…

In this paper we will investigate commutative rings which have the $\ast $-property. We say that a ring $R$ satisfy $\ast-$property if for any family of ideals $\left\{ I_{\alpha}\right\} _{\alpha\in S}$ of $R$ in which $S$ is an index set,…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of S-J-ideals in both commutative and noncommutative rings. For a commutative ring R and a multiplicatively closed subset S, we show that many properties of J-ideals apply to S-J-ideals and examine…

Let $X$ be a first countable space which admits a non-trivial convergent sequence and let $\mathcal{I}$ be an analytic P-ideal. First, it is shown that the sets of $\mathcal{I}$-limit points of all sequences in $X$ are closed if and only if…

This article - a part of a multipaper project investigating arithmetic mean ideals - investigates the codimension of commutator spaces [I, B(H)] of operator ideals on a separable Hilbert space, i.e., ``How many traces can an ideal support?"…

A subspace of an algebra with involution is called a Lie skew-ideal if it is closed under Lie products with skew-symmetric elements. Lie skew-ideals are classified in central simple algebras with involution (there are eight of them for…
