The inversion formulae for automorphisms of polynomial algebras and differential operators in prime characteristic

Abstract

Let $K$ be an {\em arbitrary} field of characteristic $p>0$, let $A$ be one of the following algebras: $P_n:= K[x_1, ..., x_n]$ is a polynomial algebra, $\CD (P_n)$ is the ring of differential operators on $P_n$, $\CD (P_n)\t P_m$, the $n$'th {\em Weyl} algebra $A_n$, the $n$'th {\em Weyl} algebra $A_n\t P_m$ with polynomial coefficients $P_m$, the power series algebra $K[[x_1, ..., x_n]]$, $T_{k_1, ..., k_n}$ is the subalgebra of $\CD (P_n)$ generated by $P_n$ and the higher derivations $\der_i^{[j]}$, $0\leq j <p^{k_i}$, $i=1, ..., n$ (where $k_1, ..., k_n\in \mathbb{N}$), $T_{k_1, ..., k_n}\t P_m$, an {\em arbitrary central simple} (countably generated) algebra over an {\em arbitrary} field. {\em The inversion formula} for automorphisms of the algebra $A$ is found {\em explicitly}.

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.
