Abstract

By means of principal isotopes lH(a,b) of the algebra lH [Ra 99] we give an exhaustive and not repetitive description of all 4-dimensional absolute-valued algebras satisfying (x^p, x^q, x^r) = 0 for fixed integers p, q, r \in\{1,2\}. For such an algebras the number N(p,q,r) of isomorphism classes is 2 or 3, or is infinite. Concretely 1. N(1,1,1)=N(1,1,2)=N(1,2,1)=N(2,1,1)=2, 2. N(1,2,2)=N(2,2,1)=3, 3. N(2,1,2)=N(2,2,2)=\infty. Besides, each one of the above algebras contains 2-dimensional subalgebras. However, the problem in dimension 8 is far from being completely solved. In fact, there are 8-dimensional absolute-valued algebras, containing no 4- dimensional subalgebras, satisfying (x^2,x,x^2)=(x^2,x^2,x^2)=0.

Normal Quaternionic Matrices and Finitely Generated Witt Rings

We present a new approach to verify the Elementary Type Conjecture for abstract Witt rings with small number of square classes. To do so, we make use of an abstract analogue of the 2-torsion part of the Brauer group. We develop a description of the entire structure of an abstract Witt ring with $2^n$ square classes in terms of a unique $n\times n$ matrix satisfying a small additional condition that particularly holds for Witt rings of fields. Via computational search, we find all these matrices for $n$ up to $7$. This verifies that all Witt rings of fields with up to $128$ square classes are of elementary type.

Graded differential polynomial rings

We study differential polynomial rings $R[t;δ]$ over $Γ$-graded rings, where $Γ$ is an arbitrary group. We show that $R[t;δ]$ admits a $Γ$-grading compatible with that of $R$ if and only if $δ$ is a $γ$-derivation for some $γ\in C_Γ(Γ_R)$, and that this grading is unique once $°(t)=γ$ is fixed; if $δ\neq0$, then $γ$ is itself uniquely determined by $δ$. We characterize the resulting graded ring by a universal property. We prove a characteristic-free center criterion for gr-simplicity whenever $Z(R[t;δ])$ is a graded subring; in characteristic zero, gr-simplicity is equivalent to $δ$-gr-simplicity of $R$ and $γ$-outerness of $δ$, extending Jordan's simplicity criterion to the graded setting. We further show that $R[t;δ]$ is gr-prime if and only if $R$ is $δ$-gr-prime, and that gr-Noetherianity of $R$ passes to $R[t;δ]$, recovering a graded Hilbert basis theorem as a special case. When $Γ$ is abelian, gr-simplicity and gr-primality are shown to be invariants of homogeneous graded Morita equivalence, and every ring homogeneously graded equivalent to $R[t;δ]$ via a compatible idempotent is again a graded differential polynomial ring.

Affinization of algebraic structures: Poisson algebras

An affinization of the notion of a Poisson algebra is presented. This is termed a Poisson affgebra and consists of an affine space together with an associative bi-affine multiplication and a bi-affine Lie bracket that acts as an affine derivation for the associative product. The constructive relation between Poisson affgebras and Poisson algebras is described and several low-dimensional examples are studied in detail.
