A Note on the Special Unitary Group of a Division Algebra
نویسندگان
چکیده
If D is a division algebra with center a number field K and with an involution of the second kind, it is unknown if the group SU(1, D)/[U(1, D), U(1, D)] is trivial. We show that, by contrast, if K is a function field in one variable over a number field, and if D is an algebra with center K and with an involution of the second kind, the group SU(1, D)/[U(1, D), U(1, D)] can be infinite in general. We give an infinite class of examples.

A brief introduction to quaternion matrices and linear algebra and on bounded groups of quaternion matrices
The division algebra of real quaternions, as the only noncommutative normed division real algebra up to isomorphism of normed algebras, is of great importance. In this note, first we present a brief introduction to quaternion matrices and quaternion linear algebra. This, among other things, will help us present the counterpart of a theorem of Herman Auerbach in the setting of quaternions. More ...
متن کاملBehavior of $R$-groups for $p$-adic inner forms of quasi-split special unitary groups
We study $R$-groups for $p$-adic inner forms of quasi-split special unitary groups. We prove Arthur's conjecture, the isomorphism between the Knapp-Stein $R$-group and the Langlands-Arthur $R$-group, for quasi-split special unitary groups and their inner forms. Furthermore, we investigate the invariance of the Knapp-Stein $R$-group within $L$-packets and between inner forms. This w...
متن کاملA note on essentially left $phi$-contractible Banach algebras
In this note, we show that cite[Corollary 3.2]{sad} is not always true. In fact, we characterize essential left $phi$-contractibility of the group algebras in terms of compactness of its related locally compact group. Also, we show that for any compact commutative group $G$, $L^{2}(G)$ is always essentially left $phi$-contractible. We discuss the essential left $phi$-contractibility of some Fou...
متن کاملA note on $lambda$-Aluthge transforms of operators
Let $A=U|A|$ be the polar decomposition of an operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $mathscr{H}$ and $lambdain(0,1)$. The $lambda$-Aluthge transform of $A$ is defined by $tilde{A}_lambda:=|A|^lambda U|A|^{1-lambda}$. In this paper we show that emph{i}) when $mathscr{N}(|A|)=0$, $A$ is self-adjoint if and only if so is $tilde{A}_lambda$ for some $lambdaneq{1over2}$. Also $A$ is self adjoint if and onl...
متن کاملOn C0-Group of Linear Operators
In this paper we consider C0-group of unitary operators on a Hilbert C*-module E. In particular we show that if A?L(E) be a C*-algebra including K(E) and ?t a C0-group of *-automorphisms on A, such that there is x?E with =1 and ?t (?x,x) = ?x,x t?R, then there is a C0-group ut of unitaries in L(E) such that ?t(a) = ut a ut*.
