In this paper we prove the generalized Kaplansky conjecture for the Jordan algebras of the type $J_n$ in particular for self adjoint $2\times 2$ matrices over $\R$, over $\C$, $\HH$ and $\Oct$. In fact, we prove that the image of…
We classify finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over finite nilpotent groups of odd order in group-theoretical terms. The main step is to show that the conjugacy classes of such finite groups are either abelian or of type C; this property…
In this paper we determine, for all $r$ sufficiently large, the irreducible component(s) of maximal dimension of the variety of commuting $r$-tuples of nilpotent elements of $\mathfrak{gl}_n$. Our main result is that in characteristic $\neq…
The paper is devoted to classify nilpotent Jordan algebras of dimension up to five over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not 2. We obtained a list of 35 isolated non-isomorphic 5-dimensional nilpotent non-associative Jordan…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$, and let $M_n(\mathbb{K})$ be the algebra of all $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb{K}$. We consider the corresponding special Jordan algebra $\mathcal{A}:=M_n(\mathbb{K})^+$…
We revisit the constructions given by J. Pevtsova and the author of refined invariants for finite dimensional representations of infinitesimal group schemes $\mathbb G_{(r)}$ over a field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Our focus is on the…
The "Modularity Conjecture" is the assertion that the join of two nonmodular varieties is nonmodular. We establish the veracity of this conjecture for the case of linear idempotent varieties. We also establish analogous results concerning…
A good knowledge of the Jordan canonical form (JCF) for a tensor product of `Jordan blocks' is key to understanding the actions of $p$-groups of matrices in characteristic $p$. The JCF corresponds to a certain partition which depends on the…
We investigate the nilpotence of a kind of circulant matrices $T_{n,m}$ over field $Z_p$ where $T_{n,m}= \sum_{i = 0}^{m - 1} {S_n^i}$ and $S_n$ is the fundamental circulant matrix of order $n$. The necessary and sufficient condition on $n$…
We consider the conjugation-action of an arbitrary upper-block parabolic subgroup of ${\rm GL}_n(\mathbf{C})$ on the variety of $x$-nilpotent complex matrices and translate it to a representation-theoretic context. We obtain a criterion as…
Let $\mathcal{J}$ be the exceptional Jordan algebra and $V=\mathcal{J}\oplus \mathcal{J}$. We construct an equivariant map from $V$ to $\mathrm{Hom}_k(\mathcal{J}\otimes \mathcal{J},\mathcal{J})$ defined by homogeneous polynomials of degree…
We show that while the number of coprime compositions of a positive integer $n$ into $k$ parts can be expressed as a $\mathbb{Q}$-linear combinations of the Jordan totient functions, this is never possible for the coprime partitions of $n$…
A nonzero pattern is a matrix with entries in {0,*}. A pattern is potentially nilpotent if there is some nilpotent real matrix with nonzero entries in precisely the entries indicated by the pattern. We develop ways to construct some…
We address a Jordan version of Johnson theorem on (associative) algebras of quotients, namely whether a strongly nonsingular (the Jordan version of nonsingularity) has a von Neumann regular algebra of quotients. Although the answer is…
Two statements concerning $n$-by-$n$ partial isometries are being considered: (i) these matrices are generic, if unitarily irreducible, and (ii) if nilpotent, their numerical ranges are circular disks. Both statements hold for $n\leq 4$ but…
The exceptional Jordan algebra is the algebra of $3\times 3$ Hermitian matrices with octonionic entries. It is the only one from Jordan's algebraic formulation of quantum mechanics which is not equivalent to the conventional formulation of…
The algebra of GL_n-invariants of d-tuple of n x n nilpotent matrices with respect to the action by simultaneous conjugation is generated by the traces of products of nilpotent generic matrices in the case of an algebraically closed field…
In 1934, Jordan et al. gave a necessary algebraic condition, the Jordan identity, for a sensible theory of quantum mechanics. All but one of the algebras that satisfy this condition can be described by Hermitian matrices over the complexes…
Let $\mathbb{F}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. Given a square matrix $A \in \mathbb{F}^{n \times n}$ and a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{F}[w]$, we determine the Jordan canonical form of the formal Fr\'{e}chet…
We investigate relations between the properties of an algebra and its varieties of finite-dimensional module structures, on the example of the Jordan plane $R=k<x,y>/ (xy-yx-y^2)$. Complete description of irreducible components of the…
