We prove a variant of the Titchmarsh convolution theorem for simply connected supersolvable Lie groups, namely we show that the convolution algebras of compactly supported continuous functions and compactly supported finite measures on such…

Let g be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We show that if the Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture holds for g, then g has type A_n, C_n or G_2.

Several general properties, concerning reduction algebras - rings of definition and algorithmic efficiency of the set of ordering relations - are discussed. For the reduction algebras, related to the diagonal embedding of the Lie algebra…

We define a transcendence degree for division algebras, by modifying the lower transcendence degree construction of Zhang. We show that this invariant has many of the desirable properties one would expect a noncommutative analogue of the…

A famous conjecture about group algebras of torsion-free groups states that there is no zero divisor in such group algebras. A recent approach to settle the conjecture is to show the non-existence of zero divisors with respect to the length…

Let S be a standard graded Artinian algebra over a field k. We identify constraints on the Hilbert function of S which are imposed by the hypothesis that S contains an exact pair of homogeneous zero divisors. As a consequence, we prove that…

Reduction algebras (also known as generalized Mickelsson algebras, Zhelobenko algebras, or transvector algebras) are well-studied associative algebras appearing in the representation theory of Lie algebras. In the 1990s, Zhelobenko noted…

We establish many previously unknown properties of zero-divisors in Cayley-Dickson algebras. The basic approach is to use a certain splitting that simplifies computations surprisingly.

Let $ L $ be a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra and $ d $ be the minimal number generators for $ L/Z(L). $ It is known that $ \dim L/Z(L)=d \dim L^{2}-t(L)$ for an integer $ t(L)\geq 0. $ In this paper, we classify all finite…

We link the recent theory of $L$-algebras to previous notions of Universal Algebra and Categorical Algebra concerning subtractive varieties, commutators, multiplicative lattices, and their spectra. We show that the category of $L$-algebras…

From a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ satisfying $\mathcal{Z}(\mathfrak{g})=0$ and $\Lambda^2(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{g}=0$ (in particular, for $\g$ semisimple) we describe explicitly all Lie bialgebra structures on extensions of the form…

We describe, in terms of generators and relations, the reduction algebra, related to the diagonal embedding of the Lie algebra $\gl_n$ into $\gl_n\oplus\gl_n$. Its representation theory is related to the theory of decompositions of tensor…

Consider the W-algebra $W$ attached to the smallest nilpotent orbit in a simple Lie algebra $\frak g$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We show that if an analogue of the Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture holds for such a…

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 associate a graph to a possible non-zero zero-divisor in the group algebra of a torsion-free group.

A new simple way to prove the Frobenius conjecture on the dimensions of real algebras without zero divisors is given.

Let $\mf{g}$ be any finite-dimensional Lie algebra with Killling form $B$. Let $\mf{h}$ be a subalgebra of $\mf{g}$ on which the Killing form is non degenerate. Then $\mf{h}$ is reductive.

We investigate the standard graded $k$-algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero for which general linear forms are exact zero divisors. We formulate a conjecture regarding the Hilbert function of such rings. We prove our conjecture…

We introduce the class of split Lie-Rinehart algebras as the natural extension of the one of split Lie algebras. We show that if $L$ is a tight split Lie-Rinehart algebra over an associative and commutative algebra $A,$ then $L$ and $A$…

The problem of providing complete presentations of reduction algebras associated to a pair of Lie algebras $(\mathfrak{G},\mathfrak{g})$ has previously been considered by Khoroshkin and Ogievetsky in the case of the diagonal reduction…
