Let $\Lambda$ be a finite-dimensional associative algebra over a field. A semibrick pair is a finite set of $\Lambda$-modules for which certain Hom- and Ext-sets vanish. A semibrick pair is completable if it can be enlarged so that a…

In this paper a general theory of semi-classical matrix orthogonal polynomials is developed. We define the semi-classical linear functionals by means of a distributional equation $D(u A) = u B,$ where $A$ and $B$ are matrix polynomials.…

A new matrix product, called the semi-tensor product (STP), is briefly reviewed. The STP extends the classical matrix product to two arbitrary matrices. Under STP the set of matrices becomes a monoid (semi-group with identity). Some related…

We study graded symmetric algebras, which are the symmetric monoids in the monoidal category of vector spaces graded by a group. We show that a finite dimensional graded semisimple algebra is graded symmetric. The center of a symmetric…

An $m \times (n+1)$ multiplicity matrix is a matrix $M = ( \mu_{i,j} )$ with rows enumerated by $i \in \{ 1,\ 2, \ldots, m \}$ and columns enumerated by $j \in \{ 0,1,\ldots, n \}$ whose coordinates are nonnegative integers satisfying the…

In this note we show that unsatisfiable systems of linear equations with a constant number of variables per equation over prime finite fields have polynomial-size constant-degree semi-algebraic proofs of unsatisfiability. These are proofs…

Let K be an arbitrary field, and a,b,c,d be elements of K such that the polynomials t^2-at-b and t^2-ct-d are split in K[t]. Given a square matrix M with entries in K, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of two…

The Amitsur-Levitski theorem asserts that $M_n(F)$ satisfies a polynomial identity of degree $2n$. (Here, $F$ is a field and $M_n(F)$ is the algebra of $n \times n$ matrices over $F$). It is easy to give examples of subalgebras of $M_n(F)$…

Let A and B be finite dimensional simple real algebras with division gradings by an abelian group G. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the coincidence of the graded identities of A and B. We also prove that every…

We say that the polynomial sequence $(Q^{(\lambda)}_n)$ is a semiclassical Sobolev polynomial sequence when it is orthogonal with respect to the inner product $$ <p, r>_S=<{{\bf u}} ,{p\, r}> +\lambda <{{\bf u}}, {{\mathscr D}p \,{\mathscr…

We consider a family of pairs of m-by-p and m-by-q matrices, in which some entries are required to be zero and the others are arbitrary, with respect to transformations (A,B)--> (SAR,SBL) with nonsingular S, R, L. We prove that almost all…

For two semi-simple algebras $A$ and $B$ over an arbitrary ground field $F$, we give a numerical criterion when $\Hom_F(A,B)$, the set of $F$-algebra homomorphisms between them, is non-empty. We also determine when the orbit set $B^\times…

Let $\mathbb F$ be an algebraically closed field, $G$ be an abelian group, and let $A$ and $B$ be arbitrary finite-dimensional $G$-graded simple algebras over $\mathbb F$. We prove that $A$ and $B$ are isomorphic if, and only if, they…

Let $\mathcal A$ be an $\mathbb F$-algebra and $\omega \in \mathcal A\langle x_1, \ldots, x_m \rangle$ which defines a map $\mathcal A^m \rightarrow \mathcal A$ by evaluation, called a polynomial map with constant. We consider $\mathcal {A}…

A new sufficient condition for a list of real numbers to be the spectrum of a symmetric doubly stochastic matrix is presented; this is a contribution to the classical spectral inverse problem for symmetric doubly stochastic matrices that is…

Two matrices $A$ and $B$ are called unitary (resp. orthogonal) equivalent if $AU=VB$ for two unitary (resp. orthogonal) matrices $U$ and $V$. Using trace identities, criteria are given for simultaneous unitary, orthogonal or complex…

When $\mathbb{K}$ is a field, and $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ denote commuting subspaces of $\text{M}_n(\K)$ each of which contains a non-scalar matrix, we prove that $\dim \mathcal{A} +\dim \mathcal{B} \leq (n-1)^2+3$. We also give a…

We study a nonlinear analogue of additive commutators, known as \textit{polynomial commutators}, defined by $p(ab) - p(ba)$ for a polynomial $p \in F[x]$ and elements $a, b$ in an algebra $R$ over a field $F$. Originally introduced by…

Let $\Lambda = \left[\begin{array}{cc} A & 0 \\ M & B \end{array}\right] $ be an Artin algebra and $_BM_A$ a $B$-$A$-bimodule. We prove that there is a triangle equivalence $D_{sg}(\Lambda) \cong D_{sg}(A)\coprod D_{sg}(B)$ between the…
