A linear mapping $\phi$ from an algebra $\mathcal{A}$ into its bimodule $\mathcal M$ is called a centralizable mapping at $G\in\mathcal{A}$ if $\phi(AB)=\phi(A)B=A\phi(B)$ for each $A$ and $B$ in $\mathcal{A}$ with $AB=G$. In this paper, we…

We introduce the concept of centrally algebraically closed division rings and show that a division ring satisfies the central Nullstellensatz if and only if it is centrally algebraically closed. We also show that every division ring can be…

This paper is focused on the structure of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a punctured surface at roots of unity. A criterion that determines when a collection of skeins forms a basis of the skein algebra as an extension over the…

The higher rank Racah algebra $R(n)$ introduced recently is recalled. A quotient of this algebra by central elements, which we call the special Racah algebra $sR(n)$, is then introduced. Using results from classical invariant theory, this…

In this paper we prove that the subalgebras of cocommutative elements in the quantized coordinate rings of $M_{n}$, $GL_{n}$ and $SL_{n}$ are the centralizers of the trace $x_{1,1}+\dots+x_{n,n}$ in each algebra, for…

Let $\mathbf G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field, and let $s\in\mathbf G$ be a semisimple element. We show that the centraliser of $s$ is the semi-direct product of its identity component by its…

Associating to each pre-order on the indices 1,...,n the corresponding structural matrix ring, or incidence algebra, embeds the lattice of n-element pre-orders into the lattice of n x n matrix rings. Rings within the order-convex hull of…

Let $M_n$ denote the algebra of $n \times n$ complex matrices and let $\mathcal{A}\subseteq M_n$ be an arbitrary structural matrix algebra, i.e. a subalgebra of $M_n$ that contains all diagonal matrices. We consider injective maps $\phi :…

This papers studies centralizers of an element, $a$, in the nucleus of a non-associative algebra with a special type of valuation. We prove that the centralizer of $a$ is a free module of finite rank over the algebra generated by $a$.

It is well known that the full matrix ring over a skew-field is a simple ring. We generalize this theorem to the case of semirings. We characterize the case when the matrix semiring $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$, of all $n\times n$ matrices over a…

The centralizer of any non-scalar element of a free group algebra over a field is the coordinate ring of a nonsingular curve.

The structure and the existence of maximal subrings in division rings are investigated. We see that if $R$ is a maximal subring of a division ring $D$ with center $F$ and $N(R)\neq U(R)\cup \{0\}$, where $N(R)$ is the normalizer of $R$ in…

The concept of an $I$-matrix in the full $2\times 2$ matrix ring $M_2(R/I)$, where $R$ is an arbitrary UFD and $I$ is a nonzero ideal in $R$, was introduced in \cite{mar}. Moreover a concrete description of the centralizer of an $I$-matrix…

This paper presents a study on Jordan maps over matrix rings with some functional equations related to additive maps on these rings. We first show that every Jordan left (right) centralizer over a matrix ring is a left (right) centralizer.…

For a conjugation $C$ on a separable, complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, the set $\mathcal{S}_C$ of $C$-symmetric operators on $\mathcal{H}$ forms a weakly closed, selfadjoint, Jordan operator algebra. In this paper we study…

We consider some existing results regarding rings for which the classes of torsion-free and non-singular right modules coincide. Here, a right $R$-module $M$ is non-singular if $xI$ is nonzero for every nonzero $x \in M$ and every essential…

The recursively-constructed family of Mandelbrot matrices $M_n$ for $n=1$, $2$, $\ldots$ have nonnegative entries (indeed just $0$ and $1$, so each $M_n$ can be called a binary matrix) and have eigenvalues whose negatives $-\lambda = c$…

Let $K\langle X\rangle =K\langle X_1,...,X_n\rangle$ be the free algebra of $n$ generators over a field $K$, and let $R\langle X\rangle =R\langle X_1,...,X_n\rangle$ be the free algebra of $n$ generators over an arbitrary commutative ring…

This paper is, in a first stage, devoted to establish a topological--algebraic characterization of the principal component, $\mathcal{U}^0 (M)$, of the set of unitary elements, $\mathcal{U} (M)$, in a unital JB$^*$-algebra $M$. We arrive to…

For a braided tensor category C and a subcategory K there is a notion of centralizer C_C(K), which is a full tensor subcategory of C. A pre-modular tensor category is known to be modular in the sense of Turaev iff the center Z_2(C):=C_C(C)…
