Skew derivations on generalized Weyl algebras

Abstract

A wide class of skew derivations on degree-one generalized Weyl algebras $R(a,φ)$ over a ring $R$ is constructed. All these derivations are twisted by a degree-counting extensions of automorphisms of $R$. It is determined which of the constructed derivations are $Q$-skew derivations. The compatibility of these skew derivations with the natural ${\mathbb Z}$-grading of $R(a,φ)$ is studied. Additional classes of skew derivations are constructed for generalized Weyl algebras given by an automorphism $φ$ of a finite order. Conditions that the central element $a$ that forms part of the structure of $R(a,φ)$ need to satisfy for the orthogonality of pairs of aforementioned skew derivations are derived. General constructions are illustrated by classification of skew derivations of generalized Weyl algebras over the polynomial ring in one variable and with a linear polynomial as the central element.

Maximal tails,character fibres and induced modules for pullback Kumjian-Pask algebras

Let $f:\N^{k}\to\N^{\ell}$ be a surjective monoid homomorphism and let $Γ$ be a row-finite $\ell$-graph with no sources and finitely many vertices. We give an explicit graded isomorphism from the Kumjian--Pask algebra of the pullback $f^{*}Γ$ onto the tensor product of $\KP_{\K}(Γ)$ and the group algebra of the kernel of the group completion of $f$. When $Γ$ is strongly aperiodic, but need not be cofinal, every maximal tail $T$ and every maximal ideal $\mathfrak m$ of the kernel group algebra determine an explicit primitive ideal and primitive quotient. If, in addition, $\K$ is uncountable and algebraically closed, these ideals exhaust the primitive spectrum. We prove that the resulting parametrisation is a homeomorphism for the product of the maximal-tail and Zariski topologies. Each primitive ideal is realised as the annihilator of a simple module induced from the isotropy of a path which is cofinal in $T$, and the character fibres are algebraic tori. Two examples exhibit, respectively, a single character fibre and the non-Hausdorff gluing of two such fibres.

A classification of group gradings on incidence algebras over commutative rings

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with 1, $P$ a locally finite partially ordered set, and $G$ a group. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for an $R$-algebra isomorphism between the incidence algebra $I(P,R)$ and the group algebra $RG$. Then, for an indecomposable ring $R$, a finite poset $P$ and an arbitrary group $G$, we classify the $G$-gradings of $I(P,R)$ up to graded isomorphism. The classification rests on a complete set of primitive orthogonal homogeneous idempotents. The corner algebras are split group algebras of finite abelian subgroups of $G$, and the off-diagonal Peirce blocks are multiplicity-free sums of bimodules induced from characters of double coset stabilizers. Graded isomorphisms are shown to have a rigid form, and a grading is determined up to graded isomorphism by the poset of idempotents, the corner groups, the types of the atomic bimodules and the structure constants of their multiplication. The data which occur are characterized by polynomial conditions, and over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero only finitely many graded isomorphism classes share given partial invariants. An example shows that the structure constants cannot be omitted. Some previous results are extended and enhanced, while providing alternative proofs for some known facts.
