We construct a matrix algebra $\Lambda(A,B)$ from two given finite dimensional elementary algebras $A$ and $B$ and give some sufficient conditions on $A$ and $B$ under which the derived Jordan--H\"older property (DJHP) fails for…

In positive characteristic the Jordan plane covers a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra that was described by Cibils, Lauve and Witherspoon and we call the restricted Jordan plane. In this paper the characteristic is odd. The defining…

We address a Jordan version of Johnson theorem on (associative) algebras of quotients, namely whether a strongly nonsingular (the Jordan version of nonsingularity) has a von Neumann regular algebra of quotients. Although the answer is…

Fix a field F. A zero-nonzero pattern A is said to be potentially nilpotent over F if there exists a matrix with entries in F with zero-nonzero pattern A that allows nilpotence. In this paper we initiate an investigation into which…

We consider the conjugation-action of an arbitrary upper-block parabolic subgroup of GL_n(C) on the variety of x-nilpotent complex matrices. We obtain a criterion as to whether the action admits a finite number of orbits and specify a…

In this paper, we demonstrate that several classes of functions, specifically n-multiplicative isomorphisms, derivations, elementary maps, and Jordan elementary maps on a class of algebras that includes Jordan algebras with idempotents,…

We prove that the family of all connected n-dimensional real Lie groups is uniformly Jordan for every n. This implies that all algebraic groups (not necessarily affine) over fields of characteristic zero and some transformation groups of…

Determining the Jordan canonical form of the tensor product of Jordan blocks has many applications including to the representation theory of algebraic groups, and to tilting modules. Although there are several algorithms for computing this…

A proof of the Jordan canonical form, suitable for a first course in linear algebra, is given. The proof includes the uniqueness of the number and sizes of the Jordan blocks.

The singular value decomposition of a complex matrix is a fundamental concept in linear algebra and has proved extremely useful in many subjects. It is less clear what the situation is over a finite field. In this paper, we classify the…

We investigate an analogue to the Wedderburn Principal Theorem (WPT) for a finite-dimensional Jordan superalgebra $J$ with solvable radical $N$ such that $N^2=0$ and $J/N\cong JP_n$, $n\geq 3$. We consider $N$ as an irreducible…
