There exists two types of nonassociative algebras whose associator satisfies a symmetric relation associated with a 1-dimensional invariant vector space with respect to the natural action of the symmetric group on three elements. The first…

Monographs are graph-like structures with directed edges of unlimited length that are freely adjacent to each other. The standard nodes are represented as edges of length zero. They can be drawn in a way consistent with standard graphs and…

In this article -that has also the intention to survey some known results in the theory of compact quantum groups using methods different from the standard and with a strong algebraic flavor- we consider compact o-coalgebras and Hopf…

We prove an algebraic ``no-go theorem'' to the effect that a nontrivial Poisson algebra cannot be realized as an associative algebra with the commutator bracket. Using this, we show that there is an obstruction to quantizing the Poisson…

The partition algebras are algebras of diagrams (which contain the group algebra of the symmetric group and the Brauer algebra) such that the multiplication is given by a combinatorial rule and such that the structure constants of the…

An iterative square root of a function $f$ is a function $g$ such that $g(g(\cdot))=f(\cdot)$. We obtain new characterizations for detecting the non-existence of such square roots for self-maps on arbitrary sets. This is used to prove that…

The quasisymmetric functions, $QSym$, are generalized for a finite alphabet $A$ by the colored quasisymmetric functions, $QSym_A$, in partially commutative variables. Their dual, $NSym_A$, generalizes the noncommutative symmetric functions,…

A variety is a class of algebraic structures axiomatized by a set of equations. An equation is linear if there is at most one occurrence of an operation symbol on each side. We show that a variety axiomatized by linear equations has the…

The algebra of so-called shifted symmetric functions on partitions has the property that for all elements a certain generating series, called the $q$-bracket, is a quasimodular form. More generally, if a graded algebra $A$ of functions on…

Quadratic algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras; they include the symmetry algebras of 2nd order superintegrable systems in 2 dimensions as special cases. The superintegrable systems are exactly solvable physical systems in classical…

Let G be a finite group and let p be a prime. A module for G over a field of characteristic p is called algebraic if it satisfies a polynomial, with addition and multiplication given by direct sum and tensor product. In some sense, having…

Without imposing restrictions on a weighted graph's arc lengths, symmetry structures cannot be expected. But, they exist. To find them, the graphs are decomposed into a component that dictates all closed path properties (e.g., shortest and…

We give an explicit and essentially minimal list of defining relations of a Nichols algebra of diagonal type with finite root system. This list contains the well-known quantum Serre relations but also many new variations. A conjecture by…

The algebra of holomorphic polynomial Sp_{2n}-invariants of k complex 2n by 2n matrices (under diagonal conjugation action) is generated by the traces of words in these matrices and their symplectic adjoints. No concrete minimal generating…

Based on the Connes--Kreimer Hopf algebra of rooted trees, the rooted tree maps are defined as linear maps on noncommutative polynomial algebra in two indeterminates. It is known that they induce a large class of linear relations for…

A set $A$ of nonnegative integers is an asymptotic basis of order $h$ if every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of $h$ not necessarily distinct elements of $A$. The asymptotic basis $A$ is minimal if removing any…

Let $A$ be a non-degenerate algebra over the complex numbers and $\Delta$ a homomorphism from $A$ to the multiplier algebra $M(A\otimes A)$. Consider the linear maps $T_1$ and $T_2$ from $A\otimes A$ to $M(A\otimes A)$ defined by…

It is well known from universal algebra that, for every signature $\Sigma$, there exist algebras over $\Sigma$ which are absolutely free, meaning that they do not satisfy any identities or, alternatively, satisfy the universal mapping…

A wealth of geometric and combinatorial properties of a given linear endomorphism $X$ of $\R^N$ is captured in the study of its associated zonotope $Z(X)$, and, by duality, its associated hyperplane arrangement ${\cal H}(X)$. This…

We prove that among the finite dimensional algebras of finite representation type those that are string algebras are precisely the ones that have the property that the middle term of an arbitrary extension of indecomposable modules has at…
