We show that Berkovich analytic geometry can be viewed as relative algebraic geometry in the sense of To\"{e}n--Vaqui\'{e}--Vezzosi over the category of non-Archimedean Banach spaces. For any closed symmetric monoidal quasi-abelian category…

We identify two Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra structures, one obtained by Kowalzig and Krahmer on the Hochschild cohomology of an Artin-Schelter regular algebra with semisimple Nakayama automorphism and the other obtained by Lambre, Zhou and…

We introduce the notion of almost unital and finite-dimensional (AUF) algebras, which are associative $\mathbb C$-algebras that may be non-unital or infinite-dimensional, but have sufficiently many idempotents. We show that the pseudotrace…

We define nonselfadjoint operator algebras with generators $L_{e_1},..., L_{e_n}, L_{f_1},...,L_{f_m}$ subject to the unitary commutation relations of the form \[ L_{e_i}L_{f_j} = \sum_{k,l} u_{i,j,k,l} L_{f_l}L_{e_k}\] where $u=…

By analogy with the classical construction due to Forrest, Samei and Spronk we associate to every compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ a completely contractive Banach algebra $A_\Delta(\mathbb{G})$, which can be viewed as a deformed Fourier…

Let $A$ be a connected commutative $\C$-algebra with derivation $D$, $G$ a finite linear automorphism group of $A$ which preserves $D$, and $R=A^G$ the fixed point subalgebra of $A$ under the action of $G$. We show that if $A$ is generated…

A hermitian algebra is a unital associative ${\mathbb C}$-algebra endowed with an involution such that the spectra of self-adjoint elements are contained in ${\mathbb R}$. In the case of an algebra ${\mathcal A}$ endowed with a…

A multi-relational graph maintains two or more relations over a vertex set. This article defines an algebra for traversing such graphs that is based on an $n$-ary relational algebra, a concatenative single-relational path algebra, and a…

One of the questions investigated in deformation theory is to determine to which algebras can a given associative algebra be deformed. In this paper we investigate a different but related question, namely: for a given associative…

In this work, we introduce a new class of algebras called skew-Brauer graph algebras, which generalize the well-known Brauer graph algebras. We establish that skew-Brauer graph algebras are symmetric and can be defined using a Brauer graph…

For any Kumjian-Pask algebra $KP_R(\Lambda)$ defined over a $k$-graph $\Lambda$ of a special kind (a "standard $k$-graph"), we obtain an $R$-basis.

A Vogan diagram is a Dynkin diagram of a Kac-Moody Lie algebra of finite or affine type overlayed with additional structures. This paper develops the theory of Vogan diagrams for almost compact real forms of indecomposable twisted affine…

The partition algebra is an associative algebra with a basis of set-partition diagrams and multiplication given by diagram concatenation. It contains as subalgebras a large class of diagram algebras including the Brauer, planar partition,…

Kumjian and Pask introduced an aperiodicity condition for higher rank graphs. We present a detailed analysis of when this occurs in certain rank 2 graphs. When the algebra is aperiodic, we give another proof of the simplicity of…

Equational Artinian algebras were introduced in our previous work: {\em Equational conditions in universal algebraic geometry, to appear in Algebra and Logic, 2015}. In this note, we define the notion of {\em radical topology with respect…

Let $A$ be a unital associative algebra over a field $k$, $E$ a vector space and $\pi : E \to A$ a surjective linear map with $V = {\rm Ker} (\pi)$. All algebra structures on $E$ such that $\pi : E \to A$ becomes an algebra map are…

There is a procedure, due to Dani and Levcovitz, for taking a finite simplicial graph (\Gamma) and a subgraph (\Lambda) of its complement, checking some conditions, and, if satisfied, producing a graph (\Delta) such that the right-angled…

A covariant functor from the category of mapping tori to a category of AF-algebras is constructed; the functor takes continuous maps between such manifolds to stable homomorphisms between the corresponding AF-algebras. We use this functor…

Let $A$ be a ring equipped with a derivation $\delta $. We study differential Azumaya $A$ algebras, that is, Azumaya $A$ algebras equipped with a derivation that extends $\delta $. We calculate the differential automorphism group of the…

We introduce a new class of partial actions of free groups on totally disconnected compact Hausdorff spaces, which we call convex subshifts. These serve as an abstract framework for the partial actions associated with finite separated…
