We study the existence of free subalgebras in division algebras, and prove the following general result: if $A$ is a noetherian domain which is countably generated over an uncountable algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0, then…
It is shown that over an arbitrary countable field, there exists a finitely generated algebra that is nil, infinite dimensional, and has Gelfand-Kirillov dimension at most three.
We construct an algebra of dimension $2^{\aleph_0}$ consisting only of functions which in no point possess a finite one-sided derivative. We further show that some well known nowhere differentiable functions generate algebras, which contain…
We consider the functions that bound the dimensions of finite-dimensional associative or Lie algebras in terms of the dimensions of their commutative subalgebras. It is proved that these functions have quadratic growth. As a result, we also…
We construct a nil algebra over a countable field which has finite but non-zero Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.
Associative algebras with involution over a field of zero characteristic are considered. It is proved that in this case for any finitely generated associative algebra with involution there exists a finite dimensional algebra with involution…
We introduce the completely positive rank, a notion of covering dimension for nuclear $C^*$-algebras and analyze some of its properties. The completely positive rank behaves nicely with respect to direct sums, quotients, ideals and…
Let $K[x,y]$ be the polynomial algebra in two variables over an algebraically closed field $K$. We generalize to the case of any characteristic the result of Furter that over a field of characteristic zero the set of automorphisms $(f,g)$…
In this paper, we describe an elementary method for counting the number of non-isomorphic algebras of a fixed dimension over a given finite field. We show how this method works for the explicit example of $2$-dimensional algebras over the…
Intuitively, the filter dimension of an algebra or a module measures how `close' standard filtrations of the algebra or the module are. In particular, for a simple algebra it also measures the growth of how `fast' one can prove that the…
We show that if $k$ is a countable field, then there exists a finitely generated, infinite-dimensional, primitive algebraic $k$-algebra $A$ whose Gelfand-Kirillov dimension is at most six. In addition to this we construct a two-generated…
The well-behaved representations of the coordinate algebra of a 2-dimensional quantum complex plane are classified and a C*-algebra is defined which can be viewed as the algebra of continuous functions on the 2-dimensional quantum complex…
We introduce "embedding dimensions" of a family of generators of a finite von Neumann algebra when the von Neumann algebra can be faithfully embedded into the ultrapower of the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor. These embedding dimensions are von…
A new (in)finite dimensional algebra which is a fundamental dynamical symmetry of a large class of (continuum or lattice) quantum integrable models is introduced and studied in details. Finite dimensional representations are constructed and…
We show that the finitistic dimension conjecture holds for all finite dimensional algebras if and only if, for all finite dimensional algebras, the finitistic dimension of an algebra being finite implies that the finitistic dimension of its…
We establish several properties of the free Stein dimension, an invariant for finitely generated unital tracial $*$-algebras. We give formulas for its behaviour under direct sums and tensor products with finite dimensional algebras. Among a…
A new homological dimension is introduced to measure the quality of resolutions of `singular' finite dimensional algebras (of infinite global dimension) by `regular' ones (of finite global dimension). Upper bounds are established in terms…
Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$. We survey some results on algebras of finite global dimension and address some open problems.
We show that separable, nuclear and strongly purely infinite C*-algebras have finite nuclear dimension. In fact, the value is at most three. This exploits a deep structural result of Kirchberg and R{\o}rdam on strongly purely infinite…
Smoktunowicz, Lenagan, and the second-named author recently gave an example of a nil algebra of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension at most three. Their construction requires a countable base field, however. We show that for any field $k$ and any…
