The aim of this paper is to start the study of images of graded polynomials on full matrix algebras. We work with the matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ over a field $K$ endowed with its canonical $\mathbb{Z}_n$-grading (Vasilovsky's grading). We…

Let $A$ be a DG algebra with a trivial differential over a commutative unital ring. This paper investigates the image of the totaling functor, defined from the category of complexes of graded $A$-modules to the category of DG $A$-modules.…

For a tuple $A=(A_0, A_1, ..., A_n)$ of elements in a unital Banach algebra ${\mathcal B}$, its {\em projective spectrum} $p(A)$ is defined to be the collection of $z=[z_0, z_1, ..., z_n]\in \pn$ such that $A(z)=z_0A_0+z_1A_1+... +z_nA_n$…

The generalized L'vov-Kaplansky conjecture states that for any finite-dimensional simple algebra $A$ the image of a multilinear polynomial on $A$ is a vector space. In this paper we prove it for the algebra of octonions $\mathbb{O}$ over a…

We show that every $(2^n,2^n,2^n,1)$-relative difference set $D$ in $\Z_4^n$ relative to $\Z_2^n$ can be represented by a polynomial $f(x)\in \F_{2^n}[x]$, where $f(x+a)+f(x)+xa$ is a permutation for each nonzero $a$. We call such an $f$ a…

The L'vov-Kaplansky conjecture states that the image of a multilinear noncommutative polynomial $f$ in the matrix algebra $M_n(K)$ is a vector space for every $n \in {\mathbb N}$. We prove this conjecture for the case where $f$ has degree…

It has been recently shown that $|| F_n(A) ||\leq 2$, where $A$ is a linear continuous operator acting in a Hilbert space, and $F_n$ is the Faber polynomial of degree $n$ corresponding to some convex compact $E\subset \mathbb C$ containing…

In this survey paper we study the relationships between the coarse moduli space which parameterizes the finite dimensional linear representations of an associative alegebra, the non commutative hilbert scheme and the affine scheme which is…

Let M be a factor of type II_\infty or II_1 having separable predual and let M-bar be the algebra of affiliated \tau-measureable operators. We characterize the commutator space [I,J] for sub-(M,M)-bimodules I and J of M-bar.

Given a collection P of k^2 commutative polynomials in 2k^2 commutative variables, the objective is to find a condensed representation of these polynomials in terms of a single non-commutative polynomial p(X,Y) in two k x k matrix variables…

In a previous paper we showed that the category of cocommutative color Hopf algebras is semi-abelian in case the group $G$ is abelian and finitely generated and the characteristic of the base field is different from 2 (not needed if $G$ is…

Given a field $F$, an integer $n\geq 1$, and a matrix $A\in M_n(F)$, are there polynomials $f,g\in F[X]$, with $f$ monic of degree $n$, such that $A$ is similar to $g(C_f)$, where $C_f$ is the companion matrix of $f$? For infinite fields…

Let D be a domain with quotient field K and A a D-algebra. We call a polynomial with coefficients in K that maps every element of A to an element of A "integer-valued on A". For commutative A we also consider integer-valued polynomials in…

The connection between the commutativity of a family of $n\times n$ matrices and the generalized joint numerical ranges is studied. For instance, it is shown that ${\cal F}$ is a family of mutually commuting normal matrices if and only if…

We examine maps between noncommutative projective spaces. A surjection of graded rings A-->A/J induces a closed immersion Proj(A/J)-->Proj(A). A homomorphism f:A-->B between graded rings induces an affine map U --> Proj(A) from a non-empty…

We study anticommutative algebras with the property that commutator of any two multiplications is a derivation.

Let $f$ be a polynomial in the free algebra over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a $K$-algebra. We denote by $\S_A(f)$, $\A_A(f)$ and $\I_A(f)$, respectively, the `verbal' subspace, subalgebra, and ideal, in $A$, generated by the set of all…

Let $D$ be a homogeneous bounded domain of $\mathbb{C}^n$ and $\mathcal{A}$ a set of (anti--Wick) symbols that defines a commutative algebra of Toeplitz operators on every weighted Bergman space of $D$. We prove that if $\mathcal{A}$ is…

Consider two non-degenerate algebras B and C over the complex numbers. We study a certain class of idempotent elements E in the multiplier algebra of the tensor product of B with C, called separability idempotents. The conditions include…

Subsets of a matrix algebra over a field that are invariant under conjugation and contain the linear span of each two of their commuting elements are described. They obviously include the subsets of diagonalizable and nilpotent matrices. In…
