Let $G$ be a finite group and $R$ be a commutative ring. The Mackey algebra $\mu_{R}(G)$ shares a lot of properties with the group algebra $RG$ however, there are some differences. For example, the group algebra is a symmetric algebra and…

In this article, we define and study a geometry and an order on the set of partitions of an even number of objects. One of the definitions involves the partition algebra, a structure of algebra on the set of such partitions depending on an…

We reexamine different examples of reduction chains $\mathfrak{g} \supset \mathfrak{g}'$ of Lie algebras in order to show how the polynomials determining the commutant with respect to the subalgebra $\mathfrak{g}'$ leads to polynomial…

The centralizer algebra of a matrix consists of those matrices that commute with it. We investigate the basic representation-theoretic invariants of centralizer algebras, namely their radicals, projective indecomposable modules, injective…

We consider fine G-gradings on M_n(C) (i.e. gradings of the matrix algebra over the complex numbers where each component is 1 dimensional). Groups which provide such a grading are known to be solvable. We consider the T-ideal of G-graded…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field of odd characteristic. When $|\mathbb{F}|\ge 5$, we prove that every matrix $A$ admits a decomposition into $D+M$ where $D$ is diagonalizable and $M^2=0$. For $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_3$, we show that such…

We consider commutativity equations $F_i F_j =F_j F_i$ for a function $F(x^1, \dots, x^N),$ where $F_i$ is a matrix of the third order derivatives $F_{ikl}$. We show that under certain non-degeneracy conditions a solution $F$ satisfies the…

We introduce a dense counterpart of graph degeneracy, which extends the recently-proposed invariant symmetric difference. We say that a graph has sd-degeneracy (for symmetric-difference degeneracy) at most $d$ if it admits an elimination…

In 1971 Fedi\u{i} proved the remarkable theorem that the linear second order partial differential operator in the plane with coefficients 1 and f^2 is hypoelliptic provided that f is smooth, vanishes at the origin and is positive otherwise.…

We give a natural definition for the transitivity of a matrix. Using an endomorphism d of a base ring R and a transitive nxn matrix over the center Z(R), we construct the subalgebra M_{n}(R,d,T) of the full nxn matrix algebra M_{n}(R)…

A trace on a C*-algebra is amenable (resp. quasidiagonal) if it admits a net of completely positive, contractive maps into matrix algebras which approximately preserve the trace and are approximately multiplicative in the 2-norm (resp.…

We study the semi-classical trace formula at a critical energy level for an $h$-pseudo-differential operator on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ whose principal symbol has a totally degenerate critical point for that energy. This problem is studied for a…

We find a necessary and sufficient conditions for the simplicity and uniqueness of trace for reduced free products of finite families of finite dimensional $C^*$-algebras with specified traces on them.

Given $D$ and $\gamma>0$, whenever $c>0$ is sufficiently small and $n$ sufficiently large, if $\mathcal{G}$ is a family of $D$-degenerate graphs of individual orders at most $n$, maximum degrees at most $\tfrac{cn}{\log n}$, and total…

In this paper, we study the degenerate central complete and incomplete Bell polynomials which are degenerate versions of the recently introduced central complete and incomplete Bell polynomials and also central analogues for the degenerate…

In this article, we prove that there are at most two meromorphic mappings of $\mathbb C^m$ into $\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C)\ (n\geqslant 2)$ sharing $2n+2$ hyperplanes in general position regardless of multiplicity, where all zeros with…

If a noncommutative polynomial $f$ is neither an identity nor a central polynomial of $\mathcal A=M_n(\C)$, then every trace zero matrix in $\mathcal A$ can be written as a sum of two matrices from $f(\mathcal A)-f(\mathcal A)$. Moreover,…

As shown by Ashtekar in the mid 80's, general relativity can be extended to incorporate degenerate metrics. This extension is not unique, however, as one can change the form of the hamiltonian constraints and obtain an {\it alternative}…

Let K be a field of positive characteristic p, let R be either a group algebra K[G] or a restricted enveloping algebra u(L), and let I be the augmentation ideal of R. We first characterize those R for which I satisfies a polynomial identity…

We study possible decompositions of totally decomposable algebras with involution, that is, tensor products of quaternion algebras with involution. In particular, we are interested in decompositions in which one or several factors are the…
