Consider two non-degenerate algebras B and C over the complex numbers. We study a certain class of idempotent elements E in the multiplier algebra of the tensor product of B with C, called separability idempotents. The conditions include…

We prove a {\Gamma}-equivariant version of the algebraic index theorem, where {\Gamma} is a discrete group of automorphisms of a formal deformation of a symplectic manifold. The particular cases of this result are the algebraic version of…

The algebra dual to Woronowicz's deformation of the 2-\-di\-men\-sion\-al Euclidean group is constructed. The same algebra is obtained from $SU_{q}(2)$ via contraction on both the group and algebra levels.

Metabelian algebras are introduced and it is shown that an algebra $A$ is metabelian if and only if $A$ is a nilpotent algebra having the index of nilpotency at most $3$, i.e. $x y z t = 0$, for all $x$, $y$, $z$, $t \in A$. We prove that…

The partition algebra is an associative algebra with a basis of set-partition diagrams and multiplication given by diagram concatenation. It contains as subalgebras a large class of diagram algebras including the Brauer, planar partition,…

We investigate graded retracts of polytopal algebras (essentially the homogeneous rings of affine cones over projective toric varieties) as polytopal analogues of vector spaces. In many cases we show that these retracts are again polytopal…

Motivated by relating the representation theory of the split real and $p$-adic forms of a connected reductive algebraic group $G$, we describe a subset of $2^r$ orbits on the complex flag variety for a certain symmetric subgroup. (Here $r$…

We develop a general method for computing the homological Euler characteristic of finite index subgroups G of GL_m(O_K) where O_K is the ring of integers in a number field K. With this method we find, that for large, explicitly computed…

In this article, we show explicitly the Wedderburn decomposition of the metacyclic group algebra $\mathbb F_qG$, where $G$ has a cyclic subgroup of index 2 and $\gcd(|G|,q)=1$. We also construct the complete set of central and left…

We describe a presentation for the descent algebra of the symmetric group $\sym{n}$ as a quiver with relations. This presentation arises from a new construction of the descent algebra as a homomorphic image of an algebra of forests of…

Irreducible skew-Berger algebras $\g\subset\gl(n,\Co)$, i.e. algebras spanned by the images of the linear maps $R:\odot^2\Co^n\to\g$ satisfying the Bianchi identity, are classified. These Lie algebras can be interpreted as irreducible…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring that is free of rank $k$ as an abelian group, $p$ a prime, and $SL(n,R)$ the special linear group. We show that the Lie algebra associated to the filtration of $SL(n,R)$ by $p$-congruence subgroups is…

We give an explicit description of the Lie algebra of derivations for a class of infinite dimensional algebras which are given by \'etale descent. The algebras under consideration are twisted forms of central algebras over rings, and…

This paper introduces Lie groups in degenerate geometric (Clifford) algebras that preserve four fundamental subspaces determined by the grade involution and reversion under the adjoint and twisted adjoint representations. We prove that…

The category of all $k$-algebras with a bilinear form, whose objects are all pairs $(R,b)$ where $R$ is a $k$-algebra and $b\colon R\times R\to k$ is a bilinear mapping, is equivalent to the category of unital $k$-algebras $A$ for which the…

Gaudin subalgebras are abelian Lie subalgebras of maximal dimension spanned by generators of the Kohno-Drinfeld Lie algebra t_n. We show that Gaudin subalgebras form a variety isomorphic to the moduli space of stable curves of genus zero…

Given a hyperplane arrangement in a complex vector space of dimension n, there is a natural associated arrangement of codimension k subspaces in a complex vector space of dimension k*n. Topological invariants of the complement of this…

Many relevant applications of group theoretical methods to physical problems are related, in some manner, to classification schemes by means of symmetry groups. In these schemes, irreducible representations of a Lie group have to be…

Solvable Lie algebras having at least one Abelian descending central ideal are studied. It is shown that all such Lie algebras can be built up from canonically defined ideals. The nature of such ideals is elucidated and their construction…

Let $ \mathbb{A}$ be a cellular algebra over a field $\mathbb{F}$ with a decomposition of the identity $ 1_{\mathbb{A}} $ into orthogonal idempotents $ e_i$, $i \in I$ (for some finite set $I$) satisfying some properties. We describe the…
