We present a very simple example of a theorem with constructive and non-constructive proofs: the equation c^2 x^2 - (c^2 + c)x + c = 0 has a solution.
An algebra $S$ is called a Skolem-Noether algebra (SN algebra for short) if for every central simple algebra $R$, every homomorphism $R\to R\otimes S$ extends to an inner automorphism of $R\otimes S$. One of the important properties of such…
A simple but rigorous proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is given in geometric calculus, after the basis for this theory in geometric algebra has been explained. Various classical examples of this theorem, such as the Green's and…
In this expository article, we give a self-contained introduction to the wonderfully well-behaved class of pseudocompact algebras, focusing on the foundational classes of semisimple and separable algebras. We give characterizations of such…
We study the structure and properties of free skew Boolean algebras. For finite generating sets, these free algebras are finite and we give their representation as a product of primitive algebras and provide formulas for calculating their…
The objective of this paper is to describe the structure of Zariski closed algebras, which provide a useful generalization to finite dimensional algebras in the study of representable algebras over finite fields. Our results include a…
We give a short and elementary proof of a theorem of Procesi, Schacher and (independently) Gondard, Ribenboim that generalizes a famous result of Artin. Let $A$ be an $n \times n$ symmetric matrix with entries in the polynomial ring…
In this paper a generalized topological central point theorem is proved for maps of a simplex to finite-dimensional metric spaces. Similar generalizations of the Tverberg theorem are considered.
Many proofs of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, including various proofs based on the theory of analytic functions of a complex variable, are known. To the best of our knowledge, this proof is different from the existing ones.
Proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra can be divided up into three groups according to the techniques involved: proofs that rely on real or complex analysis, algebraic proofs, and topological proofs. Algebraic proofs make use of the…
In this paper, we present a constructive proof of Herschfeld's Convergence Theorem. Our formulation differs from Herschfeld's in a few ways: We consider radicals that nest transfinitely many times, as these are essential to the proof;…
Sturm's theorem (1829/35) provides an elegant algorithm to count and locate the real roots of any real polynomial. In his residue calculus (1831/37) Cauchy extended Sturm's method to count and locate the complex roots of any complex…
Let ${\mathbb F}_0$ be an algebraically closed field, with $char({\mathbb F}_0)=0$. In this article, for prime numbers $p\geq 2$, we construct smooth affine algebras $B$ over ${\mathbb F}_0$, with $\dim B=p+2$. Further, we construct…
We describe the primitive central idempotents of the group algebra over a number field of finite monomial groups. We give also a description of the Wedderburn decomposition of the group algebra over a number field for finite strongly…
We consider the structure of groups and algebras that can be represented as automorphisms or derivations of distributive products -- which includes nonassociative rings, modules, forms, and commutation of groups and nonassociative loops. In…
We introduce a new construction of matrix wreath products of algebras that is similar to wreath products of groups. We then use it to prove embedding theorems for Jacobson radical, nil, and primitive algebras. In \S\ref{Section6}, we…
The paper describes the algebraic structure of the graded algebra of differentially homogeneous polynomials of fixed finite order. We show that it is a finitely generated algebra, and we exhibit a minimal set of generators. Along the way,…
This paper introduces (graded) skew cellular algebras, which generalise Graham and Lehrer's cellular algebras. We show that all of the main results from the theory of cellular algebras extend to skew cellular algebras and we develop a…
The book "A Course in Constructive Algebra" (1988) shows the way of understanding classical basic algebra in a constructive style similar to Bishop's Constructive Mathematics. Classical theorems are revisited, with a new flavour, and become…
A result of H.-W. Wiesbrock is extended from the case of a common cyclic and separating vector for the half-sided modular inclusion of von Neumann algebras to the case of a common faithful normal semifinite weight and at the same time a gap…
