Prime Modules and Associated Primes of Induced Modules over Rings Graded by Unique Product Monoids

Abstract

We study prime ideals, prime modules, and associated primes of graded modules over rings $S$ graded by a unique product monoid. We consider two situations in detail: (a) the case where $S$ is strongly group-graded and (b) the case where $S$ is a crossed product and the ideal or module is induced from the identity component $R$ of $S$. We give explicit conditions for ideals and modules of $R$ to induce prime ideals of or prime modules over $S$ in these two cases. We then describe the set of associated prime ideals of an arbitrary induced module. One of our main interests is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for primeness, and to describe the associated primes, in the crossed product case when the action of the monoid is not an action by automorphisms; this includes the case of a skew polynomial ring $R[x;σ]$ where $σ$ is an endomorphism of $R$. At the end, we give some illustrative examples, several of which show the necessity of the various hypotheses in our results.

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.
