We establish a surprising correspondence between groups definable in o-minimal structures and linear algebraic groups, in the nilpotent case. It turns out that in the o-minimal context, like for finite groups, nilpotency is equivalent to…

A conjecture of Kadison and Kastler from 1972 asks whether sufficiently close operator algebras in a natural uniform sense must be small unitary perturbations of one another. For $n\geq 3$ and a free ergodic probability measure preserving…

We study the random \'etale algebra generated by a random polynomial with i.i.d. coefficients distributed according to Haar measure normalized on $\mathbb{Z}_p$. We determine the probability that this random algebra is an unramified field,…

Investigating a recent positive solution of a conjecture of Grunewald and O'Halloran for complex finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras, we are in the position to find results of existence and uniqueness for the construction of complex…

We consider the first-order theory of random variables with the probabilistic independence relation, which concerns statements consisting of random variables, the probabilistic independence symbol, logical operators, and existential and…

Deciding the positivity of a sequence defined by a linear recurrence with polynomial coefficients and initial condition is difficult in general. Even in the case of recurrences with constant coefficients, it is known to be decidable only…

Throughout the current paper, we extend the study of Zinbiel algebras to Zinbiel superalgebras. In particular, we show that all the Zinbiel superalgebras over an arbitrary field are nilpotent in the same way as occurs for Zinbiel algebras.…

In this work we study the Ruelle Operator associated to a continuous potential defined on a countable product of a compact metric space. We prove a generalization of Bowen's criterion for the uniqueness of the eigenmeasures. One of the main…

Problem 10 of the Landelijke Interuniversitaire Mathematische Olympiade 2010 asks for a proof that all matrices in a certain family are nilpotent. Both model solutions prove this using the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. I give a purely…

A loop is automorphic if its inner mappings are automorphisms. Using so-called associated operations, we show that every commutative automorphic loop of odd prime power order is centrally nilpotent. Starting with anisotropic planes in the…

We prove the equivalence of the Jacobian Conjecture (JC(n)) and the Conjecture on the cardinality of the set of fixed points of a polynomial nilpotent mapping (JN(n)) and prove a series of assertions confirming JN(n).

We give a new, geometric proof of the section conjecture for fixed points of finite group actions on projective curves of positive genus defined over the field of complex numbers, as well as its natural nilpotent analogue. As a part of our…

For a finite dimensional Lie algebra $L$, it is known that $s(L)=\f{1}{2}(n-1)(n-2)+1-\mathrm{dim} M(L)$ is non negative. Moreover, the structure of all finite nilpotent Lie algebras is characterized when $s(L)=0,1$ in \cite{ni,ni4}. In…

For sufficiently high dimensions, the naturally graded nonsplit nilpotent Lie algebras with linear characteristic sequence are classified.

A likelihood order is defined over linear subspaces of a finite dimensional Hilbert space. It is shown that such an order that satisfies some plausible axioms can be represented by a quantum probability in two cases: pure state and uniform…

Let $A$ be a positive operator on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ with $0<m\leq A\leq M$ and $X$ and $Y$ are two isometries on $\mathcal{H}$ such that $X^{*}Y=0$. For every 2-positive linear map $\Phi$, define…

Using unbounded Hilbert space representations basic results on the transition probability of positive linear functionals $f$ and $g$ on a unital *-algebra are obtained. The main assumption is the essential self-adjointness of GNS…

The main result of this paper is to prove that if a (right) Leibniz algebra $L$ is \textit{right nilpotent} of degree $n$, then $L$ is \textit{strongly nilpotent} of degree less or equal to $4n^2-2n+1$.

In this article we study maps with nilpotent Jacobian in $\mathbb{R}^n$ distinguishing the cases when the rows of $JH$ are linearly dependent over $\mathbb{R}$ and when they are linearly independent over $\mathbb{R}.$ In the linearly…

In this short note we confirm an analog of a conjecture of James Wiegold for finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras.
