Abstract

For R1,R2,R3,R_1,R_2,R_3,\dots a family of non isomorphic rings (or algebras) having each only 2 idempotents (11 and 00), we classify up to isomorphism the rings (or algebras) obtained by taking products of powers of the different RiR_i. We show that the automorphism groups of such rings (or algebras) split naturally into the product of wreath products Aut(Rn)SmnAut( R_n)\wr \mathfrak{S}_{m_n} for different nn. These results are applied to algebras generated by one element over a perfect field K\mathbb{K}. Such algebra is either K[X]\mathbb{K}[X] or a quotient of K[X]\mathbb{K}[X]. We show that in the later case the algebra is isomorphic to a finite product of the form A=(Li[X]/(Xj))ni,jA=\prod (\mathbb{L}_i[X]/(X^j))^{n_{i,j}}, where the Li\mathbb{L}_i are non isomomorphic finite field extensions of K\mathbb{K} ((not isomophic as K\mathbb{K}-algebras)), with restrictions on the numbers ni,jn_{i,j} if K\mathbb{K} is finite. We classify these algebras up to isomorphism. We have also that the K\mathbb{K}-algebra automorphism group of A=(Li[X]/(Xj))ni,jA=\prod (\mathbb{L}_i[X]/(X^j))^{n_{i,j}} splits naturally into the product of wreat products AutK(Li[X]/(Xj))Sni,jAut_\mathbb{K}(\mathbb{L}_i[X]/(X^j) )\wr \mathfrak{S}_{n_{i,j}} (AutK()Aut_\mathbb{K}(-) is for K\mathbb{K}-algebra automorphism group). Finally, we prove that AutK(Li[X]/(Xn))Aut_\mathbb{K}(\mathbb{L}_i[X]/(X^n) ) is isomorphic to the semi-direct product Gn(Li)AutK(Li)G_n(\mathbb{L}_i)\rtimes Aut_\mathbb{K}(\mathbb{L}_i) (AutK()Aut_\mathbb{K}(-) is for K\mathbb{K}-algebra automorphism group), where Gn(Li)AutLi(Li[X]/(Xn))G_n(\mathbb{L}_i)\simeq Aut_{\mathbb{L}_i}(\mathbb{L}_i[X]/(X^n) ) (Li\mathbb{L}_i algebra automorphism group) is an algebraic subgroup of invertible lower triangular matrices of dimension (n1)×(n1)(n-1)\times (n-1) with coefficients in Li\mathbb{L}_i; the conjugate of a matrix MGn(Li)M\in G_n(\mathbb{L}_i) by σAutK(Li)\sigma \in Aut_\mathbb{K}(\mathbb{L}_i) is the matrix obtained from MM by applying σ\sigma to its coefficients.
