Non-weakly amenable Beurling algebras

A deformation-theoretic version of Maschke's theorem for modular group algebras: The commutative case

Let G be a locally compact abelian group, $\omega:G\to (0,\infty)$ be a weight, and ($\Phi$,$\Psi$) be a complementary pair of strictly increasing continuous Young functions. We show that for the weighted Orlicz algebra $L^\Phi_\omega(G)$, the weak amenability is obtained under conditions similar to the one considered by Y. Zhang for weighted group algebras. Our methods can be applied to various families of weighted Orlicz algebras, including weighted $L^p$-spaces.

Recent research on Dunford-Pettis operators associated with the group algebra L 1 (G) and the Fourier algebra A(G) of a locally compact group has motivated the study of the structure of the Dunford-Pettis space for a Banach module ϵ over a Banach algebra . In this paper, we study conditions under which (ϵ) coincides with the entire Banach right -module ϵ, and investigate its connections with some classical geometric properties. We analyze the structure of Dunford-Pettis elements for various classical Banach spaces and study their behavior under continuous homomorphisms and quotient maps. Moreover, we explore the geometric properties of certain ideals in commutative Banach algebras.

This paper presents and studies a class of algebras which includes the usual Volterra algebra. Roughly speaking, they relate to the Volterra algebra in the way a general locally compact group relates to R. We show that they can be viewed as quotients of some semigroup algebras introduced by BAKER and BAKER (1). Their sets of nilpotent elements are dense. We investigate the second duals of these algebras and find that most of the properties found in (7) for the biduals of the group algebras L 1 (G) for compact G are retained here.

This paper introduces the study of LG-quadratic quotients of exterior algebras, showing that they are Koszul, as in the commutative case. We construct an example of an LG-quadratic algebra that is not G-quadratic and another example that is Koszul but not LG-quadratic. This is only the second known Koszul algebra that is not LG-quadratic and the first that is noncommutative.

Let B be an associative ring with identity, A a subring of B containing the identity of B. If B is commutative then it is customary to define an element b of B to be integral over A if it satisties an equation of the form for some a1, a2, …, an A. This definition does not generalize readily to the case when B is non-commutative. Van der Waerden ([11], p. 75) defines b ∈ B to be integral over A if all powers of b belong to a finite A-module. This definition is quite satisfactory when A satisfies the ascending chain condition for left ideals, but in the general case this type of integrity is not necessarily transitive, even when B is commutative. Krull [6] calls an element b ∈ B which satisfies the above condition almost integral over A (but he only considers the commutative case). The subset Ā of B consisting of all almost integral elements over A is called the complete integral closure of A in B. If Ā = A, A is said to be completely integrally closed in B. More recently (in [3]), Gilmer and Heinzer (see also Bourbaki, [1]) have discussed these properties in the commutative case and have shown that the complete integral closure of A in B need not be completely integrally closed in B. If B is not commutative, the set A of elements of B almost integral over A, may not even form a ring. In [5] p. 122, Jacobson uses a definition equivalent to Van der Waerden's for the non-commutative case but the definition applies only for a very restricted class of rings.

We extend the periodicity of birational rowmotion for rectangular posets to the case when the base field is replaced by a noncommutative ring (under appropriate conditions). This resolves a conjecture from 2014. The proof uses a novel approach and is fully self-contained. Consider labelings of a finite poset \(P\) by \(\left\vert P\right\vert + 2\) elements of a ring \(\mathbb{K}\): one label associated with each poset element and two constant labels for the added top and bottom elements in \(\widehat{P}\). Birational rowmotion is a partial map on such labelings. It was originally defined by Einstein and Propp for \(\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}\) as a lifting (via detropicalization) of piecewise-linear rowmotion, a map on the order polytope \(\mathcal{O}(P) := \{\text{order-preserving } f: P \to[0,1]\}\). The latter, in turn, extends the well-studied rowmotion map on the set of order ideals (or more properly, the set of order filters) of \(P\), which correspond to the vertices of \(\mathcal{O}(P)\). Dynamical properties of these combinatorial maps sometimes (but not always) extend to the birational level, while results proven at the birational level always imply their combinatorial counterparts. Allowing \(\mathbb{K}\) to be noncommutative, we generalize the birational level even further, and some properties are in fact lost at this step.In 2014, the authors gave the first proof of periodicity for birational rowmotion on rectangular posets (when \(P\) is a product of two chains) for \(\mathbb{K}\) a field, and conjectured that it survives (in an appropriately twisted form) in the noncommutative case. In this paper, we prove this noncommutative periodicity and a concomitant antipodal reciprocity formula. We end with some conjectures about periodicity for other posets, and the question of whether our results can be extended to (noncommutative) semirings.It has been observed by Glick and Grinberg that, in the commutative case, periodicity of birational rowmotion can be used to derive Zamolodchikov periodicity in the type \(AA\) case, and vice-versa. However, for noncommutative \(\mathbb{K}\), Zamolodchikov periodicity fails even in small examples (no matter what order the factors are multiplied), while noncommutative birational rowmotion continues to exhibit periodicity. Thus, our result can be viewed as a lateral generalization of Zamolodchikov periodicity to the noncommutative setting.Mathematics Subject Classifications: 06A07, 05E99Keywords: Rowmotion, posets, noncommutative rings, semirings, Zamolodchikov periodicity, root systems, promotion, trees, graded posets, Grassmannian, tropicalization

For a real algebraic M-variety X, the canonical homomorphism of the algebraic cohomology group of the set of real points into the algebraic cohomology group of the set of complex points $$\varrho _k :H_{alg}^k (X(\mathbb{R}),\mathbb{Z}/2) \to H_{alg}^{2k} (X(\mathbb{C}),\mathbb{Z}/2)$$ is considered. This homomorphism agrees with the cycle mappings. Estimates for the dimension of the kernel of this homomorphism are given.

In order to summarize the contents of this paper it is necessary to use some of the definitions in [5]. These definitions are repeated below at the beginning of Section 1. Although this paper adds to the material in [5] we have attempted to reduce the number of references to [o] to a minimum. An approximate diagonal in a Banach algebra 31 is a bounded net {ma} in 31 a for all a in 31 in the norm topologies where 31? 31 is the usual projective tensor product [2] and -k is the continuous linear map 31?31->31 defined by ir(a?b) =ab. The net {m 31) ** with aM = Ma and ?r** (M) a = a for all a ? 31. In the algebraic cohomology of algebras the existence of an element m of A A with ma = am and ir(m) the identity of A is equivalent to the statement that H1(A, X) =0 for all 31 modules X almost never holds?in fact, in the commutative case for all A bimodules X. Among Banach algebras the statement jEP^S^X) =0 (see [3; Theorem 1] and [5; Proposition 8.1]) we can always find a Banach 31 module ? with S^1(3I,36)=t^O unless 31 zz?n. The existence of an approxi? mate diagonal is not unusual and is equivalent to the statement !M* (31,36*) = 0 for all Banach 31 modules X; thatis 31 is an emenable Banach algebra. The element M plays the same role in the theory of amenable tlgebras that the invariant mean does for amenable groups. The definitions used from [5] and the theorem connecting amenability with approximate diagonals are given in ? 1. In ? 2 we show that if 31 has a virtual diagonal with Ma? 31? St for all a in 3T then 913 (31, 3E) ? .0 for all Banach 31 modules 3?. Algebras satisfying this condition are grdup algebras of compact topological groups and the algebra c0 of convergent sequences of complex numbers. Although we do not prove it the result also applies to any annihilator B* algebra with only finite dimensional minimal ideals. In ? 3 we show that if 31 is a semi simple commutative amenable Banach algebra then there is a Banach 31 module X with 3/2(3I,3E) ^0, unless 31 is finite

This chapter is an overview of the arguments relating symmetry, experimental data, and inference that appear in the theory, methods, and applications of dihedral analysis. The example introduced here is based on the only commutative case (n = 2) and yet it includes all the basic elements present in the non-commutative (n > 2) cases.

Let G1 and G2 be LCA groups with identities being e1 and e2, and let ω be a (Borel measurable) weight function on G1 ×G2. Let ω(s,t) = ω(s,e2)ω(e1,t) ((s,t) ∈G1 ×G2). Then ω is also a weight function on G1 ×G2. In this small note, it is proved that the Beurling algebra L1(G1 ×G2,ω) has unique uniform norm property iff L1(G1 ×G2,ω) has the same property. This result is important because the above statement does not hold true for some properties.

ABSTRACTLet σ be an automorphism of a field K with fixed field F. We study the automorphisms of nonassociative unital algebras which are canonical generalizations of the associative quotient algebras K[t;σ]∕fK[t;σ] obtained when the twisted polynomial f∈K[t;σ] is invariant, and were first defined by Petit. We compute all their automorphisms if σ commutes with all automorphisms in AutF(K) and n≥m−1, where n is the order of σ and m the degree of f, and obtain partial results for n<m−1. In the case where K∕F is a finite Galois field extension, we obtain more detailed information on the structure of the automorphism groups of these nonassociative unital algebras over F. We also briefly investigate when two such algebras are isomorphic.

Equivariant matrices, commuting with a group of permutation matrices, are considered. Such matrices typically arise from PDEs and other computational problems where the computational domain exhibits discrete geometrical symmetries. In these cases, group representation theory provides a powerful tool for block diagonalizing the matrix via the Generalized Fourier Transform (GFT). This technique yields substantial computational savings in problems such as solving linear systems, computing eigenvalues and computing analytic matrix functions such as the matrix exponential. The paper is presenting a comprehensive self contained introduction to this field. Building upon the familiar special (finite commutative) case of circulant matrices being diagonalized with the Discrete Fourier Transform, we generalize the classical convolution theorem and diagonalization results to the noncommutative case of block diagonalizing equivariant matrices. Applications of the GFT in problems with domain symmetries have been developed by several authors in a series of papers. In this paper we elaborate upon the results in these papers by emphasizing the connection between equivariant matrices, block group algebras and noncommutative convolutions. Furthermore, we describe the algebraic structure of projections related to non-free group actions. This approach highlights the role of the underlying mathematical structures, and provides insight useful both for software construction and numerical analysis. The theory is illustrated with a selection of numerical examples.

In [ 2 ] Bieri and Strebel introduced a geometric invariant for finitely generated abstract metabelian groups that determines which groups are finitely presented. For a valuable survey of their results, see [ 6 ]; we recall the definition briefly in Section 4. We shall introduce a similar invariant for pro- p groups. Let [ ] be the algebraic closure of [ ] p and U be the formal power series algebra [ ][lobrk ] T [robrk ], with group of units U × . Let Q be a finitely generated abelian pro- p group. We write ℤ p [lobrk ] Q [robrk ] for the completed group algebra of Q over ℤ p . Let T ( Q ) be the abelian group Hom( Q , U × ) of continuous homomorphisms from Q to U × . We write 1 for the trivial homomorphism. Each v ∈ T ( Q ) extends to a unique continuous algebra homomorphism vmacr; from ℤ p [lobrk ] Q [robrk ] to U .

In 1969 Lindenstrauss and Rosenthal showed that if a Banach space is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of an Lp-space, then it is either an Lp-space or isomorphic to a Hilbert space. This is the motivation of this paper where we study non- Hilbertian complemented operator subspaces of non-commutative Lp-spaces and show that this class is much richer than in the commutative case. We investigate the local properties of some new classes of operator spaces for every 2 < p < 1 which can be considered as operator space analogues of the Rosenthal sequence spaces from Banach space theory, constructed in 1970. Under the usual conditions on the defining sequence we prove that most of these spaces are operator Lp-spaces, not completely isomorphic to previously known such spaces. However, it turns out that some column and row versions of our spaces are not operator Lp-spaces and have a rather complicated local structure which implies that the Lindenstrauss-Rosenthal alternative does not carry over to the non-commutative case.
