We provide a complete classification of matrix semirings $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$ over two-element additively idempotent semirings $S$ with respect to the finite basis property.Our main theorem shows that for every integer $n \geq 2$,the semiring…

Working over an algebraically closed base field $k$ of characteristic 2, the ring of invariants $R^G$ is studied, where $G$ is the orthogonal group O(n) or the special orthogonal group SO(n), acting naturally on the coordinate ring $R$ of…

For the Lie algebras $g_n= \mathfrak{o}_{2n+1},\mathfrak{sp}_{2n},\mathfrak{o}_{2n}$ a simple construction of a base in an irreducible representation is given. The construction of this base uses the method of $Z$-invariants of Zhelobenko…

We introduce the notion of $GL(n)$-dependence of matrices, which is a generalization of linear dependence taking into account the matrix structure. Then we prove a theorem, which generalizes, on the one hand, the fact that $n+1$ vectors in…

The paper studies the question of existence of polynomials with given roots over associative non-commutative rings with identity. It is shown that in the case of an associative division ring for arbitrary n elements of this ring there…

With the advent of computers, one needs algebraic structures that can simultaneously work with bulk data. One such algebraic structure, namely, n-linear algebras of type I are introduced in this book and its applications to n-Markov chains…

In a previous paper, we have given an algebraic model to the set of intervals. Here, we apply this model in a linear frame. We define a notion of diagonalization of square matrices whose coefficients are intervals. But in this case, with…

Jacobson's commutativity theorem says that a ring is commutative if, for each $x$, $x^n = x$ for some $n > 1$. Herstein's generalization says that the condition can be weakened to $x^n-x$ being central. In both theorems, $n$ may depend on…

Let $\{U(m)\}_{m\in \N}$ and $\{V(n)\}_{n\in \N}$ be linear recurrence sequences. It is a well-known Diophantine problem to determine the finiteness of the set of natural numbers $n$ such that the ratio $U(n)/V(n)$ is an integer. We study…

Elements of the Riordan group $\cal R$ over a field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero are infinite lower triangular matrices which are defined in terms of pairs of formal power series. We wish to bring to the forefront, as a tool in the…

Let $k \leq n$ be nonnegative integers and let $\lambda$ be a partition of $k$. S. Griffin recently introduced a quotient $R_{n,\lambda}$ of the polynomial ring $\mathbb{Q}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ in $n$ variables which simultaneously generalizes…

Suppose that $R$ is an associative unital ring and that $E=(E^0,E^1,r,s)$ is a directed graph. Utilizing results from graded ring theory we show, that the associated Leavitt path algebra $L_R(E)$ is simple if and only if $R$ is simple,…

We consider the problem of classifying (possibly noncommutative) R-algebras of low rank over an arbitrary base ring R. We first classify algebras by their degree, and we relate the class of algebras of degree 2 to algebras with a standard…

In this short note we prove a lemma about the dimension of certain algebraic sets of matrices. This result is needed in our paper arXiv:1201.1672. The result presented here has also applications in other situations and so it should appear…

The algebra of ${\rm GL}_n$-invariants of $m$-tuples of $n\times n$ matrices with respect to the action by simultaneous conjugation is a classical topic in case of infinite base field. On the other hand, in case of a finite field generators…

A composition of birational maps given by Laurent polynomials need not be given by Laurent polynomials; however, sometimes---quite unexpectedly---it does. We suggest a unified treatment of this phenomenon, which covers a large class of…

For any field $\K$ and integer $n\geq 2$ we consider the Leavitt algebra $L_\K(n)$; for any integer $d\geq 1$ we form the matrix ring $S = M_d(L_\K(n))$. $S$ is an associative algebra, but we view $S$ as a Lie algebra using the bracket…

This survey of the recent developments in the investigations of a Leavitt path algebra L of an arbitrary graph E over a field K consists of two parts. In the first part describes how very often a single graph property of E implies multiple…
