let $ m , n in mathbb{n}$, $d$ be a division ring, and $m_{m times n}(d)$ denote the bimodule of all $m times n$ matrices with entries from $d$. first, we characterize one-sided submodules of $m_{m times n}(d)$ in terms of left row reduced echelon or right column reduced echelon matrices with entries from $d$. next, we introduce the notion of a nest module of matrices with entries from $d$. we ...

Supersymmetry is deeply related to division algebras. For example, nonabelian Yang–Mills fields minimally coupled to massless spinors are supersymmetric if and only if the dimension of spacetime is 3, 4, 6 or 10. The same is true for the Green–Schwarz superstring. In both cases, supersymmetry relies on the vanishing of a certain trilinear expression involving a spinor field. The reason for this...

Let A be a finitely generated domain of GK dimension less than 3 over a field K and let Q(A) denote the quotient division algebra of A. Using the ideas of Smoktunowicz, we show that if D is a finitely generated division subalgebras of Q(A) of GK dimension at least 2, then Q(A) is finite dimensional as a left D-vector space. We use this to show that if A is a finitely generated domain of GK dime...

An algorithm to construct a maximal order Λ in a finite-dimensional semisimple rational algebra A is presented. The discriminants of the simple components of Λ allow one to read off the Wedderburn structure of A. If A has uniformly distributed invariants, which is the case for centralizer algebras of representations of finite groups, then it suffices to do the calculation over the rational inte...

The concept of doubling, introduced around 1840 by Hamilton and Graves, associates with any quadratic algebra A over a field k of characterstic not 2 its double V(A) = A×A, with multiplication (w, x)(y, z) = (wy− z̄x, xȳ + zw). It yields an endofunctor on the category of all quadratic k-algebras which is faithful but not full. We study in which respect the division property of a quadratic k-alge...
