Let End(V) denote the ring of all linear transformations of an arbitrary k-vector space V over a field k. We define a subset X of End(V) to be "triangularizable" if V has a well-ordered basis such that X sends each vector in that basis to…
Let $A$ be a finite dimensional associative algebra over a perfect field and let $R$ be the radical of $A$. We show that for every one-sided ideal $I$ of $A$ there exists a semisimple subalgebra $S$ of $A$ such that $I=I_{S}\oplus I_{R}$…
We study, in the setting of algebraic varieties, finite-dimensional spaces of functions V that are invariant under a ring D^V of differential operators, and give conditions under which D^V acts irreducibly. We show how this problem,…
We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…
By any measure, semisimple modules form one of the most important classes of modules and play a distinguished role in the module theory and its applications. One of the most fundamental results in this area is the Wedderburn-Artin theorem.…
We establish a link between abelian regular subgroup of the affine group, and commutative, associative algebra structures on the underlying vector space that are (Jacobson) radical rings. As an application, we show that if the underlying…
Extending the Wedderburn-Artin theory of (classically) semisimple associative rings to the realm of topological rings with right linear topology, we show that the abelian category of left contramodules over such a ring is split…
In this paper, we study the endomorphism properties of vertex operator algebras over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$, with $\text{Char}(\mathbb{F}) \neq 2$. Let $V$ be a strongly finitely generated vertex operator algebra over $\mathbb{F}$,…
This paper gives an analogue of A_g(V) theory for a vertex operator superalgebra V and an automorphism g of finite order. The relation between the g-twisted V-modules and A_g(V)-modules is established. It is proved that if V is g-rational,…
Let V be a simple vertex operator algebra and G a finite automorphism group. Then there is a natural right G-action on the set of all inequivalent irreducible V-modules. Let S be a finite set of inequivalent irreducible V-modules which is…
We determine the structure of the semisimple group algebra of certain groups over the rationals and over those finite fields where the Wedderburn decompositions have the least number of simple components. We apply our work to obtain similar…
We prove that a finite von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal A}$ is semisimple if the algebra of affiliated operators ${\mathcal U}$ of ${\mathcal A}$ is semisimple. When ${\mathcal A}$ is not semisimple, we give the upper and lower bounds for the…
We provide a characterization of the finite dimensionality of vector spaces in terms of the right-sided invertibility of linear operators on them.
A double algebra is a linear space $V$ equipped with linear map $V\otimes V\to V\otimes V$. Additional conditions on this map lead to the notions of Lie and associative double algebras. We prove that simple finite-dimensional Lie double…
The residual finite-dimensionality of a $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra is known to be encoded in a topological property of its space of representations, stating that finite-dimensional representations should be dense therein. We extend this…
Let E be an operator algebra on a Hilbert space with finite-dimensional generated C*-algebra. A classification is given of the locally finite algebras and the operator algebras obtained as limits of direct sums of matrix algebras over E…
Let V be a normal affine variety over the real numbers R, and let S be a semi-algebraic subset of V(R). We study the subring B(S) of the coordinate ring of V consisting of the polynomials that are bounded on S. We introduce the notion of…
We consider a version of a famous open problem formulated by Kadison, asking whether bounded representations of operator algebras are automatically completely bounded. We investigate this question in the context of amenable operator…
Any finite dimensional semisimple algebra A over a field K is isomorphic to a direct sum of finite dimensional full matrix rings over suitable division rings. In this paper we will consider the special case where all division rings are…
Let $K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. Let $End(V)$ denote the $K$-algebra consisting of all $K$-linear transformations from $V$ to $V$. We consider a pair $A,A^* \in End(V)$ that…
