Constructive Arithmetics in Ore Localizations of Domains

Abstract

For a non-commutative domain $R$ and a multiplicatively closed set $S$ the (left) Ore localization of $R$ at $S$ exists if and only if $S$ satisfies the (left) Ore property. Since the concept has been introduced by Ore back in the 1930's, Ore localizations have been widely used in theory and in applications. We investigate the arithmetics of the localized ring $S^{-1}R$ from both theoretical and practical points of view. We show that the key component of the arithmetics is the computation of the intersection of a left ideal with a submonoid $S$ of $R$. It is not known yet, whether there exists an algorithmic solution of this problem in general. Still, we provide such solutions for cases where $S$ is equipped with additional structure by distilling three most frequently occurring types of Ore sets. We introduce the notion of the (left) saturation closure and prove that it is a canonical form for (left) Ore sets in $R$. We provide an implementation of arithmetics over the ubiquitous $G$-algebras in \textsc{Singular:Plural} and discuss questions arising in this context. Numerous examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

On solutions of singular Sylvester equations in quaternions

The quaternionic equations ax-xb=0 and ax-xb=c are investigated, which are called homogeneous and inhomogeneous Sylvester equations, respectively. Conditions for the existence of solutions are provided. In addition, the general and nonzero solutions to these equations are derived applying quaternion square roots.

Positivity preservers over finite fields II

We say that a matrix over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is positive definite if it is symmetric and each of its leading principal minors is a nonzero square in $\mathbb{F}_q$. In previous work of the authors [J. Algebra, 2025], the entrywise positivity preservers on $M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ were classified in every case except when $n=2$, $q\equiv1\pmod4$, and $q$ is not a square. We settle this remaining case, thereby completing the classification of entrywise positivity preservers over every finite field and in every dimension $n\ge2$. Our proof is based on a novel idempotent reduction that not only resolves the remaining case but also yields a self-contained proof of the complete classification, while avoiding several technical results used in the earlier arguments. As a further application of the same reduction, we classify the entrywise preservers of strongly nonsingular matrices, i.e., matrices whose leading principal minors are all nonzero. We also prove a more general theorem in odd characteristic: for every prescribed sign pattern of nonzero leading principal minors of matrices of a fixed dimension $n\ge2$, the entrywise preservers are precisely the positive scalar multiples of field automorphisms. Thus, in odd characteristic, preserving any nonzero leading-principal-minor sign pattern surprisingly forces the preservation of every such sign pattern.

Graphs of Moore-Penrose inverse of matrices possessing the treeangle property

It is known that the inverse of an invertible real square matrix satisfying the treeangle property, is a treediagonal matrix. A converse statement also holds. We show that the verbatim analogues are not true for the Moore-Penrose inverse, and obtain the precise structure of graphs corresponding to the Moore-Penrose inverse of matrices possessing the treeangle property.
