Degree-inverting involutions on matrix algebras

Rings and Algebras 2020-01-03 v2

Abstract

Let FF be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and GG be a finite abelian group. If A=gGAgA=\oplus_{g\in G} A_g is a GG-graded algebra, we study degree-inverting involutions on AA, i.e., involutions * on AA satisfying (Ag)Ag1(A_g)^*\subseteq A_{g^{-1}}, for all gGg\in G. We describe such involutions for the full n×nn\times n matrix algebra over FF and for the algebra of n×nn\times n upper triangular matrices.
