We apply the filtered and graded methods developed in earlier works to find (noncommutative) free group algebras in division rings. If $L$ is a Lie algebra, we denote by $U(L)$ its universal enveloping algebra. P. M. Cohn constructed a…

Let D be a valued division algebra, finite-dimensional over its center F. Assume D has an unramified splitting field. The paper shows that if D contains a maximal subfield which is Galois over F (i.e. D is a crossed product) then the…

We show that a finite-dimensional tame division algebra D over a Henselian field F has a maximal subfield Galois over F if and only if its residue division algebra has a maximal subfield Galois over the residue field of F. This generalizes…

For any central simple algebra over a field F which contains a maximal subfield M with non-trivial F-automorphism group G, G is solvable if and only if the algebra contains a finite chain of subalgebras which are generalized cyclic algebras…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup. $D(H;G)$ is the crossed product of $C(H)$ and ${\Bbb C}G$ which is only a subalgebra of $D(G)$, the quantum double of $G$. One can construct a $C^*$-subalgebra ${\mathcal{F}}_{_H}$ of the…

We consider differential rings of the form (K[x; y];D), where K is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and D : K[x; y] \to K[x; y] is a K-derivation. We study the Automorphism Group of such a ring and give criteria for…

We study whether a unital associative algebra $ A $ over a field admits a decomposition of the form $A = Z(A) + [A,A]$ where $ Z(A) $ is the center of $ A $ and $ [A,A] $ denotes the additive subgroup of $A$ generated by all additive…

Let K be a local non-archimedian field, F=K((t)) and let G be a split semi-simple group. The purpose of this paper is to study certain analogs of spherical (and Iwahori) Hecke algebras for representations of the group G(F) and its central…

Let D be a division algebra with center F. A maximal subfield of D is defined to be a field K such that CD(K) = K; that is, K is its own centralizer in D. A maximal subfield K is said to be self-invariant if it normalises by itself, i.e.…

Let $D$ be a commutative domain with field of fractions $K$, let $A$ be a torsion-free $D$-algebra, and let $B$ be the extension of $A$ to a $K$-algebra. The set of integer-valued polynomials on $A$ is ${\rm Int}(A) = \{f \in B[X] \mid f(A)…

A division ring $D$ is Amitsur-Small if for every $n$ and every maximal left ideal $I$ in $D[x_1,\dots,x_n]$, $I \cap D[x_1,\dots,x_{n-1}]$ is maximal in $D[x_1,\dots,x_{n-1}]$. The goal of this note is to prove that cyclic division…

For a cancellative semigroup S and a field F, it is proved that the semigroup algebra FS is centrally essential if and only if the group of fractions $G_S$ of the semigroup $S$ exists and the group algebra $FG_S$ of $G_S$ is centrally…

Let $K$ be a field, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$, and let $\delta$ be a derivation of $K$. We show that if $D$ is one of $K(x;\sigma)$ or $K(x;\delta)$, then $D$ either contains a free algebra over its center on two generators, or…

Let $G$ be a semisimple linear algebraic group over a field $k$ and let $G^+(k)$ be the subgroup generated by the subgroups $R_u(Q)(k)$, where $Q$ ranges over all the minimal $k$-parabolic subgroups $Q$ of $G$. We prove that if $G^+(k)$ is…

For a semialgebraic set K in R^n, let P_d(K) be the cone of polynomials in R^n of degrees at most d that are nonnegative on K. This paper studies the geometry of its boundary. When K=R^n and d is even, we show that its boundary lies on the…

A polynomial $f(t)$ in an Ore extension $K[t;S,D]$ over a division ring $K$ is a Wedderburn polynomial if $f(t)$ is monic and is the minimal polynomial of an algebraic subset of $K$. These polynomials have been studied in "Wedderburn…
