Abstract

We present a Veronese formulation of the octonionic and split-octonionic projective and hyperbolic planes. This formulation of the incidence planes highlights the relationship between the Veronese vectors and the rank-1 elements of the Albert algebras over octonions and split-octonions, yielding to a clear formulation of the relationship with the real forms of the Lie groups arising as collineation groups of these planes. The Veronesean representation also provides a novel and minimal construction of the same octonionic and split-octonionic planes, by exploiting two symmetric composition algebras: the Okubo algebra and the paraoctonionic algebra. Besides the intrinsic mathematical relevance of this construction of the real forms of the Cayley-Moufang plane, we expect this approach to have implications in all mathematical physics related with exceptional Lie Groups of type $G_{2},F_{4}$ and $E_{6}$.

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.
