We show that there is a bijection between real-linear automorphisms of the multicomplex numbers of order $n$ and signed permutations of length $2^{n-1}$. This allows us to deduce a number of results on the multicomplex numbers, including a…
A classical theorem of Wonenburger, Djokovic, Hoffmann and Paige states that an element of the general linear group of a finite-dimensional vector space is the product of two involutions if and only if it is similar to its inverse. We give…
An element of the algebra $M_n(\mathbb{F})$ of $n \times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is called an involution if its square equals the identity matrix. Gustafson, Halmos, and Radjavi proved that any product of involutions in…
An involution $#$ on an associative ring $R$ is \textit{formally real} if a sum of nonzero elements of the form $r^# r$ where $r \in R$ is nonzero. Suppose that $R$ is a central simple algebra (i.e. $R=M_n(D)$ for some integer $n$ and…
To an orthogonal or unitary involution on a central simple algebra of degree 4, or to a symplectic involution on a central simple algebra of degree 8, we associate a Pfister form that characterises the decomposability of the algebra with…
We present an easily defined countable family of permutations of the natural numbers for which explicit rearrangements (i.e., the sums induced by the permutations) can be computed. The digamma function proves to be the key tool for the…
We consider an evolution algebra which corresponds to a bisexual population with a set of females partitioned into finitely many different types and the males having only one type. We study basic properties of the algebra. This algebra is…
We associate an square to any two dimensional evolution algebra. This geometric object is uniquely determined, does not depend on the basis and describes the structure and the behaviour of the algebra. We determine the identities of degrees…
We define a trivolution on a complex algebra $A$ as a non-zero conjugate-linear, anti-homomorphism $\tau$ on $A$, which is a generalized inverse of itself, that is, $\tau^3=\tau$. We give several characterizations of trivolutions and show…
We investigate bicomplex analogues of fundamental notions from classical algebraic number theory. In particular, we show that the primitive element theorem admits a natural generalization to bicomplex extensions, giving rise to two distinct…
We associate to every central simple algebra with involution of orthogonal type in characteristic two a totally singular quadratic form which reflects certain anisotropy properties of the involution. It is shown that this quadratic form can…
It is shown that a finite group in which more than 3/4 of the elements are involutions must be an elementary abelian 2-group. A group in which exactly 3/4 of the elements are involutions is characterized as the direct product of the…
A $k$-reflection of the $n$-dimensional complex hyperbolic space ${\rm H}_{\C}^n$ is an element in ${\rm U}(n,1)$ with negative type eigenvalue $\lambda$, $|\lambda|=1$, of multiplicity $k+1$ and positive type eigenvalue $1$ of multiplicity…
We describe absolute nilpotent and some idempotent elements of an $n$- dimensional evolution algebra corresponding to two permutations and we decompose such algebras to the direct sum of evolution algebras corresponding to cycles of the…
In this short note, we describe the so-called homogeneous involution on finite-dimensional graded-division algebra over an algebraically closed field. We also compute their graded polynomial identities with involution. As pointed out by L.…
In characteristic two, it is shown that a central simple algebra of degree equal to a power of two with anisotropic orthogonal involution is totally decomposable, if it becomes either anisotropic or metabolic over all extensions of the…
In the present paper we describe absolute nilpotent and some idempotent elements of an n- dimensional evolution algebra corresponding to two permutations and we decompose such algebras to the direct sum of evolution algebras corresponding…
Bicommutative algebras are nonassociative algebras satisfying the polynomial identities of right- and left-commutativity (xy)z=(xz)y and x(yz)=y(xz). We study subvarieties of the variety of all bicommutative algebras over a field of…
We study totally decomposable symplectic and unitary involutions on central simple algebras of index 2 and on split central simple algebras respectively. We show that for every field extension, these involutions are either anisotropic or…
We investigate the pfaffians of decomposable biquaternion algebras with involution of orthogonal type. In characteristic two, a classification of these algebras in terms of their pfaffians and some other related invariants is studied. Also,…
