An element of the algebra $M_n(\mathbb{F})$ of $n \times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is called an involution if its square equals the identity matrix. Gustafson, Halmos, and Radjavi proved that any product of involutions in…

In this paper, we consider the relatively free algebra of rank $n$, $F_n(\mathfrak{N}_p)$, in the variety of Lie nilpotent associative algebras of index $p$, denoted by $\mathfrak{N}_p$, over a field of characteristic zero. We describe an…

For a sequence of polynomials $\{p_k(t)\}$ in one real or complex variable, where $p_k$ has degree $k$, for $k\ge 0$, we find explicit expressions and recurrence relations for infinite matrices whose entries are the coefficients $d(n,m,k)$,…

We give a combinatorial characterization of the identities holding in the semiring of all upper triangular Boolean $n\times n$-matrices and apply the characterization to computational complexity of identity checking, finite axiomatizability…

We characterize the monomial ideals $I\subset K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ with the property that the polarization $I^p$ and $I^{\sigma^n}:=$ the ideal obtained from $I$ by the $n$-th iterated squarefree operator $\sigma$ are isomorphic via a…

Given a square matrix $A$ with entries in a commutative ring $S$, the ideal of $S[X]$ consisting of polynomials $f$ with $f(A) =0$ is called the null ideal of $A$. Very little is known about null ideals of matrices over general commutative…

We study the symbolic powers of determinantal ideals of generic, generic symmetric, and Hankel matrices of variables, and of Pfaffians of generic skew-symmetric matrices, in prime characteristic. Specifically, we show that the limit…

Given a direct sum $A$ of full matrix algebras, if there is a combinatorial interpretation associated with both the dimension of $A$ and the dimensions of the irreducible $A$-modules, then this can be thought of as providing an analogue of…

We prove that for every natural number n there exists a natural number N(n) such that every multilinear skew-symmetric polynomial on N(n) or more variables which vanishes in the free associative algebra vanishes as well in any n-generated…

For an irreducible polynomial $\chi(x)\in \mathcal{O}_k[x]$ of degree $n$, where $k$ is a number field and $\mathcal{O}_k$ its ring of integers, let $N(X, T)$ denote the number of $n \times n$ integral matrices whose characteristic…

We introduce the notion of Groebner S-basis of an ideal of the free associative algebra K<X> over a field K invariant under the action of a semigroup S of endomorphisms of the algebra. We calculate the Groebner S-bases of the ideal…

In part 1, we review the structure theory of $\mathbb{F} S_n$, the group algebra of the symmetric group $S_n$ over a field of characteristic 0. We define the images $\psi(E^\lambda_{ij})$ of the matrix units $E^\lambda_{ij}$ ($1 \le i, j…

Let $\mathcal S \subseteq \mathbb Z^m \oplus T$ be a finitely generated and reduced monoid. In this paper we develop a general strategy to study the set of elements in $\mathcal S$ having at least two factorizations of the same length,…

Let K be a field and let M_n(K) denote the space of n x n matrices with entries in K. Let M be a subspace of M_n(K) of dimension d with the property that there are elements in M with non-zero determinant. Given a basis of M, we define the…

Let $X$ be a matrix of indeterminates, $t$ an integer, and $P_t(X)$ define the ideal generated by the permanents of all $t\times t$ submatrix of $X$. $P_t(X)$ is called a permanental ideal. In this article, we study the algebras…

Let $f,g\in Z[X]$ be monic polynomials of degree $n$ and let $C,D\in M_n(Z)$ be the corresponding companion matrices. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the subalgebra $Z< C,D>$ to be a sublattice of finite index in the full…

Every homomorphism from finite index subgroups of a universal lattices to mapping class groups of orientable surfaces (possibly with punctures), or to outer automorphism groups of finitely generated nonabelian free groups must have finite…

Motivated by a work of Knutson, in a recent paper Conca and Varbaro have defined a new class of ideals, namely "Knutson ideals", starting from a polynomial $f$ with squarefree leading term. We will show that the main properties that this…

In this paper it is proved that the ideal $I_w$ of the weak polynomial identities of the superalgebra $M_{1,1}(E)$ is generated by the proper polynomials $[x_1,x_2,x_3]$ and $[x_2,x_1][x_3,x_1][x_4,x_1]$. This is proved for any infinite…

The standard parametrization of totally non-negative Grassmannians was obtained by A. Postnikov [45] introducing the boundary measurement map in terms of discrete path integration on planar bicolored (plabic) graphs in the disk. An…
