Let $F$ be a field of characteristic zero and $W$ be an associative affine $F$-algebra satisfying a polynomial identity (PI). The codimension sequence associated to $W$, $c_n(W)$, is known to be of the form $\Theta (c n^t d^n)$, where $d$…
We show that every inclusion of von Neumann algebras with a faithful normal conditional expectation has the weak relative Dixmier property. This answers a question of Popa \cite{Po99}. The proof uses an improvement of Ellis' lemma for…
The main objectives of this paper are to give general proofs of the following two facts: A. For an operad $\oo$ in $\ab$, let $A$ be a simplicial $\oo$-algebra such that $A_m$ is the $\oo$-subalgebra generated by $(\sum_{i = 0}^{m}…
We prove the longstanding physics conjecture that there exists a unique two-parameter $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$-algebra which is freely generated of type $\mathcal{W}(2,3,\dots)$, and generated by the weights $2$ and $3$ fields. Subject to…
In this paper we study the finite W-algebra for the queer Lie superalgebra Q(n) associated with the non-regular even nilpotent coadjoint orbits in the case when the corresponding nilpotent element has Jordan blocks each of size l. We prove…
We solve the isomorphism problem for non noetherian down-up algebras $A(\alpha,0,\gamma)$ by lifting isomorphisms between some of their non commutative quotients. The quotients we consider are either quantum polynomial algebras in two…
We provide an explicit bijection between the ad-nilpotent ideals of a Borel subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra g and the orbits of \check{Q}/(h+1)\check{Q} under the Weyl group (\check{Q} being the coroot lattice and h the Coxeter number of…
In this paper, for a C*-Algebra A with M = M(A) an AW*-algebra, or equivalently, for an essential, norm-closed, two-sided ideal A of an AW*-algebra M, we investigate the strict approximability of the elements of M from commutative C*-…

Let $G$ be a simply connected, nilpotent Lie group with Lie algebra $\gee$. The group $G$ acts on the dual space $\gee^*$ by the coadjoint action. %% which partitions $\gee^*$ into coadjoint orbits. By the orbit method of Kirillov, the…
A bilinear form on a possibly graded vector space $V$ defines a graded Poisson structure on its graded symmetric algebra together with a star product quantizing it. This gives a model for the Weyl algebra in an algebraic framework, only…
A basic finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ is isomorphic to a quotient of a tensor algebra by an admissible ideal. The category of left modules over the algebra is isomorphic to the category of representations…
In a paper by the authors, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type $A[D]=A\otimes F[D]$ were introduced, where $A$ is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field $F$ of any characteristic, and $F[D]$ is…
An Ore extension over a polynomial algebra $\mathbb{F}[x]$ is either a quantum plane, a quantum Weyl algebra, or an infinite-dimensional unital associative algebra $\mathsf{A}_h$ generated by elements $x,y$, which satisfy $yx-xy = h$, where…
With a nilpotent element in a semisimple Lie algebra g one associates a finitely generated associative algebra W called a W-algebra of finite type. This algebra is obtained from the universal enveloping algebra U(g) by a certain Hamiltonian…
We extend the notion of proper elements to all Coxeter groups. For all infinite families of finite Coxeter groups we prove that the probability a random element is proper goes to zero in the limit. This proves a conjecture of the third…
Let $(A,\sigma)$ be a central simple algebra with an orthogonal involution. It is well-known that $O(A,\sigma)$ contains elements of reduced norm $-1$ if and only if the Brauer class of $A$ is trivial. We generalize this statement to…
