We show that every finite ring has a partition, where each block corresponds to one idempotent. Remarkably, this partition provides a way to \emph{lift} a wide variety of special elements such as idempotents, nilpotents, unipotents, roots…

We show that an idempotent lies in the center if it commutes with the other idempotents in the ring. Next, we introduce a partition of the set of idempotents and show that the automorphisms of the ring act transitively on each equivalence…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a set of finite groups. A finite group $G$ is called an \emph{$\mathcal{F}$-cover} if every group in $\mathcal{F}$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $G$. An $\mathcal{F}$-cover is called \emph{minimal} if no proper…

For numerical approximation the reformulation of a PDE as a residual minimisation problem has the advantages that the resulting linear system is symmetric positive definite, and that the norm of the residual provides an a posteriori error…

We compute the integral cohomology of the minimal non-trivial nilpotent orbit in a complex simple (or quasi-simple) Lie algebra. We find by a uniform approach that the middle cohomology group is isomorphic to the fundamental group of the…

In this paper, we extend the notion of orthogonality to the general elements of an absolute matrix order unit space and relate it to the orthogonality among positive elements. We introduce the notion of a partial isometry in an absolute…

We study the concurrence of arbitrary dimensional bipartite quantum systems. An explicit analytical lower bound of concurrence is obtained, which detects entanglement for some quantum states better than some well-known separability…

Let $p>1$ and $1/p+1/q=1$. Consider H\"older's inequality $$ \|ab^*\|_1\le \|a\|_p\|b\|_q $$ for the $p$-norms of some trace ($a,b$ are matrices, compact operators, elements of a finite $C^*$-algebra or a semi-finite von Neumann algebra).…

We consider matrix problems in Hilbert spaces (orthoscalar representations of quivers and posets). A criterion of tameness of the problem of classification of indecomposable orthoscalar representations of a quiver is given.

In this paper, we define the minimum (maximum) rank, term rank and the sign nonsingular of tensors. The sufficiency and necessity for the minimum rank of a real tensor to be $1$ is given. And we show that the maximum rank of a tensor is not…

Given two elements $x,y$ of a semigroup $X$ we write $x\lesssim y$ if for every homomorphism $\chi:X\to\{0,1\}$ we have $\chi(x)\le\chi(y)$. The quasiorder $\lesssim$ is called the $binary$ $quasiorder$ on $X$. It induces the equivalence…

Arguments on PL,(=piecewise linear) topology work over any ordered field in the same way as over the real field, and those on differential topology do over a real closed field R in an o-minimal structure that expands (R,<,0,1,+,cdot). One…

Consider a Hilbert space obtained as the completion of the polynomials C[z} in m-variables for which the mnonomials are orthogonal. If the commuting weighted shifts defined by the coordinate functions are essentially normal, then the same…

Let $q$ be a prime and $A$ a finite $q$-group of exponent $q$ acting by automorphisms on a finite $q'$-group $G$. Assume that $A$ has order at least $q^3$. We show that if $\gamma_{\infty} (C_{G}(a))$ has order at most $m$ for any $a \in…

Let $\mathcal P(S)$ be the semigroup obtained by equipping the family of all non-empty subsets of a (multiplicatively written) semigroup $S$ with the operation of setwise multiplication induced by $S$ itself. We call a subsemigroup $P$ of…

A poset $\mathbf{P} = (X,\preceq)$ is {\em $m$-partite} if $X$ has a partition $X = X_1 \cup ... \cup X_m$ such that (1) each $X_i$ forms an antichain in $\mathbf{P}$, and (2) $x\prec y$ implies $x\in X_i$ and $y\in X_j$ where $i<j$. In…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a Hilbert space, $L(\mathcal{H})$ the algebra of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$ and $W \in L(\mathcal{H})$ a positive operator such that $W^{1/2}$ is in the p-Schatten class, for some $1 \leq p< \infty.$…

Valuation based systems verifying an idempotent property are studied. A partial order is defined between the valuations giving them a lattice structure. Then, two different strategies are introduced to represent valuations: as infimum of…

Let ${\mathbb M}$ be an arbitrary o-minimal structure. Let $G$ be a definably compact definably connected abelian definable group of dimension $n$. Here we compute the new the intrinsic o-minimal fundamental group of $G;$ for each $k>0$,…

A sign pattern is a matrix whose entries are from the set $\{+,-, 0\}$. A square sign pattern $A$ is called sign $k$-potent if $k$ is the smallest positive integer for which $A^{k+1}=A$, and for $k=1$, $A$ is called sign idempotent. In…
