On the minimal number of singular fibers with non-compact Jacobians for families of curves over P1

2016

Abstract Let f : X → P 1 be a non-isotrivial family of semi-stable curves of genus g ≥ 1 defined over an algebraically closed field k. Denote by s nc the number of the singular fibers whose Jacobians are non-compact. We prove that s nc ≥ 5 if k = C and g ≥ 5 ; we also prove that s nc ≥ 4 if char ( k ) > 0 and the relative Jacobian of f is non-smooth.

Varieties of algebras with pseudoinvolution and polynomial growth

2017

Let A be an associative algebra with pseudoinvolution (Formula presented.) over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let (Formula presented.) be its sequence of (Formula presented.) -codimensions. We shall prove that such a sequence is polynomially bounded if and only if the variety generated by A does not contain five explicitly described algebras with pseudoinvolution. As a consequence, we shall classify the varieties of algebras with pseudoinvolution of almost polynomial growth, i.e. varieties of exponential growth such that any proper subvariety has polynomial growth and, along the way, we shall give also the classification of their subvarieties. Finally, we shall de…

On the group of the automorphisms of some algebraic systems

1968

Within a framework of general algebra we firstly formulate a proposition on the group of the automorphisms of some irreducible algebrae (id est algebrae without proper non trivial subalgebrae). This proposition includes as particular cases the uniqueness of the automorphisms of the rational field and the Burnside theorem on the commutant of an irreducible set of operators of a finite dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field. Afterwards we apply the general proposition to modules with irreducible sets of semilinear operators and we obtain a theorem which generalises from several points of view the Burnside theorem. Finally we derive as an application a proposition which sp…

Varieties of algebras with pseudoinvolution: Codimensions, cocharacters and colengths

2022

Abstract Let A be a finitely generated superalgebra with pseudoinvolution ⁎ over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic zero. In this paper we develop a theory of polynomial identities for this kind of algebras . In particular, we shall consider three sequences that can be attached to Id ⁎ ( A ) , the T 2 ⁎ -ideal of identities of A: the sequence of ⁎-codimensions c n ⁎ ( A ) , the sequence of ⁎-cocharacter χ 〈 n 〉 ⁎ ( A ) and the ⁎-colength sequence l n ⁎ ( A ) . Our purpose is threefold. First we shall prove that the ⁎-codimension sequence is eventually non-decreasing, i.e., c n ⁎ ( A ) ≤ c n + 1 ⁎ ( A ) , for n large enough. Secondly, we study superalgebras with pseudoinvoluti…

On the Quadratic Type of Some Simple Self-Dual Modules over Fields of Characteristic Two

1997

Let G be a finite group and let K be an algebraically closed field of Ž characteristic 2. Let V be a non-trivial simple self-dual KG-module we . say that V is self-dual if it is isomorphic to its dual V * . It is a theorem of w x Fong 4, Lemma 1 that in this case there is a non-degenerate G-invariant alternating bilinear form, F, say, defined on V = V. We say that V is a KG-module of quadratic type if F is the polarization of a non-degenerate w x G-invariant quadratic form defined on V. In a previous paper 6 , the present authors described some methods to decide if such a module V is of w x quadratic type. One of the main results of 6 is the following. Suppose that Ž . G is a group with a s…

Graded Involutions on Upper-triangular Matrix Algebras

2009

Let UTn be the algebra of n × n upper-triangular matrices over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We describe all G-gradings on UTn by a finite abelian group G commuting with an involution (involution gradings).

Finite Groups with Only One NonLinear Irreducible Representation

2012

Let 𝕂 be an algebraically closed field. We classify the finite groups having exactly one irreducible 𝕂-representation of degree bigger than one. The case where the characteristic of 𝕂 is zero, was done by G. Seitz in 1968.

Star-polynomial identities: computing the exponential growth of the codimensions

2017

Abstract Can one compute the exponential rate of growth of the ⁎-codimensions of a PI-algebra with involution ⁎ over a field of characteristic zero? It was shown in [2] that any such algebra A has the same ⁎-identities as the Grassmann envelope of a finite dimensional superalgebra with superinvolution B. Here, by exploiting this result we are able to provide an exact estimate of the exponential rate of growth e x p ⁎ ( A ) of any PI-algebra A with involution. It turns out that e x p ⁎ ( A ) is an integer and, in case the base field is algebraically closed, it coincides with the dimension of an admissible subalgebra of maximal dimension of B.

Identities of PI-Algebras Graded by a Finite Abelian Group

2011

We consider associative PI-algebras over an algebraically closed field of zero characteristic graded by a finite abelian group G. It is proved that in this case the ideal of graded identities of a G-graded finitely generated PI-algebra coincides with the ideal of graded identities of some finite dimensional G-graded algebra. This implies that the ideal of G-graded identities of any (not necessary finitely generated) G-graded PI-algebra coincides with the ideal of G-graded identities of the Grassmann envelope of a finite dimensional (G × ℤ2)-graded algebra, and is finitely generated as GT-ideal. Similar results take place for ideals of identities with automorphisms.
