A classical theorem of Burnside asserts that if X is a faithful complex character for the finite group G, then every irreducible character of G is a constituent of some power Xn of X . Fifty years after this appeared, Steinberg generalized it to a result on semigroup algebras K[G] with K an arbitrary field and with G a semigroup, finite or infinite. Five years later, Rieffel showed that the the...

A pro-C∗-algebra is a (projective) limit of C∗-algebras in the category of topological ∗algebras. From the perspective of non-commutative geometry, pro-C∗-algebras can be seen as non-commutative k-spaces. An element of a pro-C∗-algebra is bounded if there is a uniform bound for the norm of its images under any continuous ∗-homomorphism into a C∗-algebra. The ∗-subalgebra consisting of the bound...

Olshanski' s centralizer construction provides a realization of the Yangian Y(m) for the Lie algebra gl(m) as a subalgebra in the projective limit algebra A m = lim proj A m (n) as n → ∞, where A m (n) is the centralizer of gl(n − m) in the enveloping algebra U(gl(n)). We give a modified version of this construction based on a quantum analog of Sylvester's theorem. We then use it to get an alge...

In this paper we define $varphi$-Connes module amenability of a dual Banach algebra $mathcal{A}$ where $varphi$ is a bounded $w_{k^*}$-module homomorphism from $mathcal{A}$ to $mathcal{A}$. We are mainly concerned with the study of $varphi$-module normal virtual diagonals. We show that if $S$ is a weakly cancellative inverse semigroup with subsemigroup $E$ of idemp...

We study the minor relation for algebra homomorphims in finitely generated quasivarieties that admit a logarithmic natural duality. characterize homomorphism posets of finite algebras terms disjoint unions dual partition lattices and investigate reconstruction problems homomorphisms.

After introducing double derivations of $n$-Lie algebra $L$ we‎ ‎describe the relationship between the algebra $mathcal D(L)$ of double derivations and the usual‎ ‎derivation Lie algebra $mathcal Der(L)$‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we prove that the inner derivation algebra $ad(L)$‎ ‎is an ideal of the double derivation algebra $mathcal D(L)$; we also show that if $L$ is a perfect $n$-Lie algebra‎ ‎wit...

in this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to z/p) closed g-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is g-equivariantly formal, where g = z/p and p is an odd prime. using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a g-manifold in terms of algebra. this makes it p...

The canonical trace on the reduced C∗-algebra of a discrete group gives rise to a homomorphism from the K-theory of this C∗-algebra to the real numbers. This paper studies the range of this homomorphism. For torsion free groups, the Baum-Connes conjecture together with Atiyah’s L-index theorem implies that the range consists of the integers. We give a direct and elementary proof that if G acts ...

The Hopf algebra of renormalization in quantum field theory is described at a general level. The products of fields at a point are assumed to form a bialgebra B and renormalization endows T (T (B)+), the double tensor algebra of B, with the structure of a noncommutative bialgebra. When the bialgebra B is commutative, renormalization turns S(S(B)+), the double symmetric algebra of B, into a comm...
