We show how methods from K-theory of operator algebras can be applied in a completely algebraic setting to define a bivariant, matrix-stable, homotopy-invariant, excisive K-theory of algebras over a fixed unital ground ring H, kk_*(A,B),…

We consider an evolution algebra which corresponds to a bisexual population with a set of females partitioned into finitely many different types and the males having only one type. We study basic properties of the algebra. This algebra is…

Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space over a field k and let W be a 1-dimensional k-vector space. Let < , >: V x V \to W be a symmetric bilinear form. Then < , > is called anisotropic if for all nonzero v \in V we have <v,v> \neq 0.…

We relate commutative algebras in braided tensor categories to braid-reversed tensor equivalences, motivated by vertex algebra representation theory. First, for $\mathcal{C}$ a braided tensor category, we give a detailed construction of the…

Metabelian algebras are introduced and it is shown that an algebra $A$ is metabelian if and only if $A$ is a nilpotent algebra having the index of nilpotency at most $3$, i.e. $x y z t = 0$, for all $x$, $y$, $z$, $t \in A$. We prove that…

In 1990 Kantor defined the conservative algebra $W(n)$ of all algebras (i.e. bilinear maps) on the $n$-dimensional vector space. If $n>1$, then the algebra $W(n)$ does not belong to any well-known class of algebras (such as associative,…

We give two new criteria for a basic algebra to be biserial. The first one states that an algebra is biserial iff all subalgebras of the form eAe where e is supported by at most 4 vertices are biserial. The second one gives some condition…

We show that a structural matrix algebra $A$ is isomorphic to the endomorphism algebra of an algebraic-combinatorial object called a generalized flag. If the flag is equipped with a group grading, an algebra grading is induced on $A$. We…

Module structures of an algebra on a fixed finite dimensional vector space form an algebraic variety. Isomorphism classes correspond to orbits of the action of an algebraic group on this variety and a module is a degeneration of another if…

In this paper we generalize classical results on Lie algebras and universal enveloping algebras of Lie algebras to Lie-Rinehart algebras. We define for any Lie-Rinehart algebra $L$ and any cocycle $f$ in $Z^2(L,B)$, a universal enveloping…

In this paper we explain the parallelism in the classification of three different kinds of mathematical objects: (i) Classical r-matrices. (ii) Generalized cohomology theories that have Chern classes for complex vector bundles. (iii)…

Directly infinite algebras, those algebras, $E$ which have a pair of elements $x$ and $y$ where $1 = xy \neq yx$, are well known to have a sub-algebra isomorphic to $M_\infty(K)$, the set of infinite $\zplus \times \zplus$-indexed matrices…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$. We investigate the structure properties of the endomorphism algebras of semi-tilting $A$-modules, and prove that the endomorphism algebras arising from the…

For a Lie-Rinehart algebra (A,L), generators for the Gerstenhaber algebra \Lambda_A L correspond bijectively to right (A,L)-connections on A in such a way that B-V structures correspond to right (A,L)-module structures on A. When L is…

Nilpotent Leibniz algebras with isomorphic maximal subalgebras are considered. The algebras are classified for coclass zero, one, and two. The results are field dependent.

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field and $d$ a positive integer. For each degenerate symmetric or antisymmetric bilinear form $M$ on $k^{d}$ we determine the structure of the Lie algebra of matrices that preserve $M$, and of the Lie algebra of…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a real finite-dimensional Lie algebra equipped with a symmetric bilinear form $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle$. We assume that $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle $ is nil-invariant. This means that every nilpotent operator in the…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be the class of finite-dimensional algebras isomorphic to endomorphism algebras of silting complexes over hereditary abelian categories. It is proved that the class $\mathcal{E}$ is closed under taking idempotent…

We consider inhomogeneous supersymmetric bilinear forms, i.e., forms that are neither even nor odd. We classify such forms up to dimension seven in the case when the restrictions of the form to the even and odd parts of the superspace are…

Let $A$ and $B$ be two connected graded algebras finitely generated in degree one. If $A$ is isomorphic to $B$ as ungraded algebras, then they are also isomorphic to each other as graded algebras.
