We consider the permutation group algebra defined by Cameron and show that if the permutation group has no finite orbits, then no homogeneous element of degree one is a zero-divisor of the algebra. We proceed to make a conjecture which…

We define a notion of pseudo-unitarizability for weight modules over a generalized Weyl algebra (of rank one, with commutative coeffiecient ring $R$), which is assumed to carry an involution of the form $X^*=Y$, $R^*\subseteq R$. We prove…

In this paper, we first show that homogeneous Keller maps are injective on lines through the origin. We subsequently formulate a generalization, which is that under some conditions, a polynomial endomorphism with $r$ homogeneous parts of…

Automorphisms of the quantum Schubert cell algebras ${\mathcal U}_q^\pm[w]$ of De Concini, Kac, Procesi and Lusztig and their restrictions to some key invariant subalgebras are studied. We develop some general rigidity results and apply…

This article sets out to understand the categories $\QGr A$ where $A$ is either a monomial algebra or a path algebra of finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. The principle questions are: 1) What is the structure of the point modules up to…

The $q$-Onsager algebra $\mathcal O_q$ is defined by two generators $W_0, W_1$ and two relations called the $q$-Dolan/Grady relations. Recently Baseilhac and Kolb obtained a PBW basis for $\mathcal O_q$ with elements denoted $\lbrace B_{n…

Let $\L (f) = K[x][y; f\frac{d}{dx} ]$ be an Ore extension of a polynomial algebra $K[x]$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero where $f\in K[x]$. For a given polynomial $f$, the automorphism group of the algebra $\L (f) $ is explicitly…

In this paper, a simple Lie algebra, referred to as the completed Witt Lie algebra, is introduced. Its derivation algebra and automorphism group are completely described. As a byproduct, it is obtained that the first cohomology group of…

For an algebraically closed field $K$, we investigate a class of noncommutative $K$-algebras called connected quantized Weyl algebras. Such an algebra has a PBW basis for a set of generators $\{x_1,\dots,x_n\}$ such that each pair satisfies…

The theory of generalized Weyl algebras is used to study the $2\times 2$ reflection equation algebra $\mathcal{A}=\mathcal{A}_q(\operatorname{M}_2)$ in the case that $q$ is not a root of unity, where the $R$-matrix used to define…

The paper describes the algebraic structure of the graded algebra of differentially homogeneous polynomials of fixed finite order. We show that it is a finitely generated algebra, and we exhibit a minimal set of generators. Along the way,…

A long-standing conjecture asserts that every finite non-abelian $p$-group has a non-inner automorphism of order $p$. In this paper, we settle the conjecture for a finite $p$-group ($p >2$) of nilpotency class $n$ with certain conditions.

We investigate the gauge-independent Hamiltonian formulation and the anomalous Ward identities of a matter-induced 1+1-dimensional gravity theory invariant under Weyl transformations and area-preserving diffeomorphisms, and compare the…

If the bimodule of 1-forms of a differential calculus over an associative algebra is the direct sum of 1-dimensional bimodules, a relation with automorphisms of the algebra shows up. This happens for some familiar quantum space calculi.

The first Weyl algebra, $A_1 = k \langle x, y\rangle/(xy-yx - 1)$ is naturally $\mathbb{Z}$-graded by letting $\operatorname{deg} x = 1$ and $\operatorname{deg} y = -1$. Sue Sierra studied $\operatorname{gr}- A_1$, category of graded right…

The class of generic structures among those consisting of the measure algebra of a probability space equipped with an automorphism is axiomatizable by positive sentences interpreted using an approximate semantics. The separable generic…

We study the Lie algebra structure of the first Hochschild cohomology group of a finite dimensional monomial algebra A, in terms of the combinatorics of its quiver, in any characteristic. This allows us also to examine the identity…

We give elementary proofs of the following two theorems on automorphisms of a finite group G: (1) An automorphism of G is inner if and only if it extends to an automorphism of every finite group containing G. (2) There exists a finite…

Let $\delta$ be a derivation in a $K$-algebra $R$ and let $Aut_{\delta}(R)$ be the isotropy group with respect to the natural conjugation action of $Aut(R)$ of $K$-automorphisms on the set $Der(R)$ of $K$-derivations: that is, the subgroup…

We prove that the quantum unipotent coordinate algebra $A_q(\mathfrak{n}(w))\ $ associated with a symmetric Kac-Moody algebra and its Weyl group element $w$ has a monoidal categorification as a quantum cluster algebra. As an application of…
