On Functions Defined on Free Boolean Algebras

We characterize measures on free Boolean algebras and we examine the relationships that exists between measures and binary tables in relational databases. It is shown that these measures are completely defined by their values on positive conjunctions and an algorithm that leads to the construction of measures starting from its values on positive conjunction is also given, including a formula th...

Finitely Generated Invariants of Hopf Algebras on Free Associative Algebras

We show that the invariants of a free associative algebra of finite rank under a linear action of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra generated by group-like and skew-primitive elements form a finitely generated algebra exactly when the action is scalar. This generalizes an analogous result for group actions by automorphisms obtained by Dicks and Formanek, and Kharchenko.

Free pre-Lie algebras are free as Lie algebras

We prove that free pre-Lie algebras, when considered as Lie algebras, are free. Working in the category of S-modules, we define a natural filtration on the space of generators. We also relate the symmetric group action on generators with the structure of the anticyclic PreLie operad.

On generalizing free algebras for a functor

In this paper we introduce a new setting, based on partial algebras, for studying constructions of finitely generated free algebras. We give sufficient conditions under which the finitely generated free algebras for a variety V may be described as the colimit of a chain of finite partial algebras obtained by repeated application of a functor. In particular, our method encompasses the constructi...
