Hodges and Levasseur described the primitive spectra of quantized coordinate rings of SL3 [14], and then of SLn [15]. These results established a close connection between primitive ideals, torus action, and Poisson geometry. The proofs relied on explicit computations involving generators and relations. Subsequently, Joseph generalized the Hodges–Levasseur program to semisimple algebraic quantum...

A finite group G is said to have the nilpotent decomposition property (ND) if for every element α of integral ring Z[G] one has that αe also belong Z[G], primitive central idempotent e rational algebra Q[G]. Results Hales, Passi and Wilson, Liu Passman show this fundamental in investigations multiplicative Jordan rings. If all its subgroups ND then showed SSN, is, H, Y N G, N◁H Y⊆H N⊆Y or YN no...

We show that if R is an exchange ring with primitive factors artinian then K1(R) U(R)/V(R), where U(R) is the group of units of R and V(R) is the subgroup generated by {(1+ab)(1+ba)−1 | a,b ∈ R with 1+ab ∈ U(R)}. As a corollary, K1(R) is the abelianized group of units of R if 1/2∈ R. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 16E50, 19B10. Very recently, Ara et al. [2] showed that the natural hom...

We discuss simple partitioning phenomena for intersection rings of certain toric varieties, and apply this to prove the following results. ̋ We generalize a result of Gräbe, proving that Stanley–Reisner rings of homology spheres are Gorenstein. ̋ We give a new and direct proof of a theorem of the authors due to which the cohomology rings of matroids are Poincare duality algebras. ̋ We prove a conj...
