A thin Lie algebra is a Lie algebra graded over the positive integers satisfying a certain narrowness condition. We describe several cyclic grading of the modular Hamiltonian Lie algebras H(2 : n;ω2) (of dimension one less than a power of p) from which we construct infinite-dimensional thin Lie algebras. In the process we provide an explicit identification of H(2 : n;ω2) with a Block algebra. W...

We develop the theory of “branch algebras”, which are infinitedimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting on trees. In particular, we construct an algebra over the field of two elements, that is finitely generated, prime, infinite-dimensional but with all proper quo...

The notion of filter is established in fuzzy class theory. Graded properties of filters, prime filters and related concepts are investigated. In particular we study properties of filters relativized with respect to the basic three t-norms: Gödel, product, and Lukasiewicz. It is shown that our approach gives rise to a broad class of models including probability and necessity measures on fuzzy se...

A nilpotent quotient algorithm for graded Lie rings of prime characteristic is described. The algorithm has been implemented and applications have been made to the investigation of the associated Lie rings of Burnside groups. New results about Lie rings and Burnside groups are presented. These include detailed information on groups of exponent 5 and 7 and their associated Lie rings. Appeared: J...

Semiconductor alloy nanowires with spatially graded compositions (and bandgaps) provide a new material platform for many new multifunctional optoelectronic devices, such as broadly tunable lasers, multispectral photodetectors, broad-band light emitting diodes (LEDs) and high-efficiency solar cells. In this review, we will summarize the recent progress on composition graded semiconductor alloy n...

Cognitive radio is one of the most promising technologies that resolves the problem of inefficient spectrum utilization by enabling secondary user to opportunistically utilize the unused licensed bands. The prime functionality of cognitive radio is spectrum sensing in which presence of the primary usersis accurately detected. In this paper various spectrum sensing methods are presented together...

We show that the category of projective modules over a graded commutative ring admits a triangulation with respect to module suspension if and only if the ring is a finite product of graded fields and exterior algebras on one generator over a graded field (with a unit in the appropriate degree). We also classify the ungraded commutative rings for which the category of projective modules admits ...

Let N be a near-ring. In this paper, we associate a graph corresponding to the 3-prime radical I of N , denoted by ΓI(N). Further we obtain certain topological properties of Spec(N), the spectrum of 3-prime ideals of N and graph theoretic properties of ΓI(N). Using these properties, we discuss dominating sets and connected dominating sets of ΓI(N).

Let p be a prime number. This paper describes the primitive idempotents and prime spectrum of the crossed Burnside algebra of a finite group over a p-local ring. The main application is a formula for the block idempotents of the p-local Mackey algebra of the group, in terms of the corresponding blocks of the group algebra.
