By classifying $S$-maximal amenable subgroups of algebraic groups over a global field of characteristic zero, we obtain a complete classification of maximal amenable subgroups up to commensurability in the respective arithmetic groups.…

The automorphisms groups and derivation algebras of all two-dimensional algebras over algebraically closed fields are described.

The maximal dimension of a commutative subalgebra of the Grassmann algebra is determined. It is shown that for any commutative subalgebra there exists a commutative subalgebra which is spanned by monomials and has the same dimension. It…

Let K be a subfield of the real field, D be a discrete subset of K and f : D^n -> K be a function such that f(D^n) is somewhere dense. Then (K,f) defines the set of integers. We present several applications of this result. We show that K…

A uniform algebra $A$ on its Shilov boundary $X$ is {\em maximal} if $A$ is not $C(X)$ and there is no uniform algebra properly contained between $A$ and $C(X)$. It is {\em essentially pervasive} if $A$ is dense in $C(F)$ whenever $F$ is a…

In this paper we study the lengths of certain chains of subalgebras of a Lie algebra L: namely, a chief series, a maximal chain of minimal length, a chain of maximal length in which each subalgebra is modular in L, and a chain of maximal…

Let k be a field. A finite dimensional k-algebra is said to be minimal representation-infinite provided it is representation-infinite and all its proper factor algebras are representation-finite. Our aim is to classify the special biserial…

A chain $S_0 < S_1 < \ldots < S_n = L$ is a {\em maximal chain} if each $S_i$ is a maximal subalgebra of $S_{i+1}$. The subalgebra $S_0$ in such a series is called an {\em $n$-maximal} subalgebra. There are many interesting results…

We discuss a problem of Dixmier on continuous fields of postliminal C*-algebras and the greatest liminal ideals of the fibers.

Let $M$ be a maximal subalgebra of a Lie algebra $L$ and $A/B$ a chief factor of $L$ such that $B \subseteq M$ and $A \not \subseteq M$. We call the factor algebra $M \cap A/B$ a $c$-section of $M$. All such $c$-sections are isomorphic, and…

Let D be a division ring. We say that D is left algebraic over a (not necessarily central) subfield K of D if every x in D satisfies a polynomial equation x^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+...+a_0=0 with a_0,...,a_{n-1} in K. We show that if D is a…

Ge asked the question whether $LF_{\infty}$ can be embedded into $LF_2$ as a maximal subfactor. We answer it affirmatively by three different approaches, all containing the same key ingredient: the existence of maximal subgroups with…

We classify closed abelian subgroups of the simple groups $G_2$, $F_4$, $Aut(so(8))$ having centralizer the same dimension as the dimension of the subgroup, as well as finite abelian subgroups of certain spin and half-spin groups having…

Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$ and $N$ a subnormal subgroup of the multiplicative group $D^*$ of $D$. Assume that $N$ contains a non-abelian solvable subgroup. In this paper, we study the problem on the existence of non-abelian…

Triangular algebras, and maximal triangular algebras in particular, have been objects of interest for over fifty years. Rich families of examples have been studied in the context of many w$^*$- and C$^*$-algebras, but there remains a dearth…

We construct large classes of maximal commutative subalgebras in prime Steinberg algebras, generalizing a known result for Leavitt path algebras.

We show that any infinite algebraic subgroup of the plane Cremona group over a perfect field is contained in a maximal algebraic subgroup of the plane Cremona group. We classify the maximal groups, and their subgroups of rational points, up…

The purpose of this paper is to determine all maximal graded subalgebras of the four infinite series of finite-dimensional graded Lie superalgebras of odd Cartan type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$. All maximal…

We introduce the classes of descendingly flexible and descendingly alternative algebras over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. We suggest a new method based on the sequence of differences between the dimensions of the linear spans of words,…
