چکیده

An experiment with the nonassociative algebra program Albert led to the discovery of the following surprising theorem. Let G be a groupoid satisfying the identity (xy)z = y(zx). Then for products in G involving at least ve elements, all factors commute and associate. A corollary is that any semiprime ring satisfying this identity must be commutative and associative, generalizing a known result of Chen.

Linear groupoids and the associated wreath products

A groupoid identity is said to be linear of length 2k if the same k variables appear on both sides of the identity exactly once. We classify and count all varieties of groupoids defined by a single linear identity. For k = 3, there are 14 nontrivial varieties and they are in the most general position with respect to inclusion. Hentzel et. al. [3] showed that the linear identity (xy)z = y(zx) im...

Derivations of a Finite Dimensional Jb∗-triple (after Meyberg)

and [[xy]z] + [[yz]x] + [[zx]y] = 0. Left multiplication in a Lie algebra is denoted by ad(x): ad(x)(y) = [x, y]. An associative algebra A becomes a Lie algebra A− under the product, [xy] = xy − yx. The first axiom implies that [xy] = −[yx] and the second (called the Jacobi identity) implies that x 7→ adx is a homomorphism of L into the Lie algebra (EndL)−, that is, ad [xy] = [adx, ad y]. Assum...

Mixed Arithmetic and Geometric Means and Related Inequalities

Mixed arithmetic and geometric means, with and without weights, are both considered. Related to mixed arithmetic and geometric means, the following three types of inequalities and their generalizations, from three variables to a general n variables, are studied. For arbitrary x, y, z ≥ 0 we have [ x + y + z 3 (xyz) ]1/2 ≤ ( x + y 2 · y + z 2 · z + x 2 )1/3 , (A) 1 3 (√ xy + √ yz + √ zx ) ≤ 1 2 ...

A generalization of entropy equation: homogeneous entropies

Shannon's entropy has been characterized in several ways. Kaminski and Mikusihski [5] simplified Fadeev's [3] approach by considering, what they called the entropy equation: (1.1) H(x, y, z) = H(x + y, 0, z) + H(x, y, 0) , (x ^ 0 , y ^ 0 , z > 0 , xy + yz + zx > 0) . A general continuous symmetric solution of (1.1) given by (1.2) H(x, y, z) = (x + y + z) log (x + y + z) — x log x y log y — z lo...
