On the consequences of the standard polynomial

1998

The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on the polynomial identities of low degree for the n × n matrix algebra over a field of characteristic 0.Our main result is that we have found all the consequences of degree n + 2 of the standard polynomial have calculated the S n+2-character of the T-ideal generated by this polynomial.

Central Units, Class Sums and Characters of the Symmetric Group

2010

In the search for central units of a group algebra, we look at the class sums of the group algebra of the symmetric group S n in characteristic zero, and we show that they are units in very special instances.

Group-graded algebras with polynomial identity

1998

LetG be a finite group and letR=Σg∈GRg be any associative algebra over a field such that the subspacesRg satisfyRgRh⊆Rgh. We prove that ifR1 satisfies a PI of degreed, thenR satisfies a PI of degree bounded by an explicit function ofd and the order ofG. This result implies the following: ifH is a finite-dimensional semisimple commutative Hopfalgebra andR is anyH-module algebra withRH satisfying a PI of degreed, thenR satisfies a PI of degree bounded by an explicit function ofd and the dimension ofH.

Characterization of chain geometries of finite dimension by their automorphism group

1990

A large class of chain geometries of finite dimension is characterized as strong chain spaces possessing a distinguished group of automorphisms fixing two distant points.

Divisible Designs Admitting, as an Automorphism Group, an Orthogonal Group or a Unitary Group

We construct some divisible designs starting from a projective space. These divisible designs admit an orthogonal group or a unitary group as an automorphism group.

A Star-Variety With Almost Polynomial Growth

2000

Abstract Let F be a field of characteristic zero. In this paper we construct a finite dimensional F -algebra with involution M and we study its ∗ -polynomial identities; on one hand we determine a generator of the corresponding T -ideal of the free algebra with involution and on the other we give a complete description of the multilinear ∗ -identities through the representation theory of the hyperoctahedral group. As an outcome of this study we show that the ∗ -variety generated by M , var( M , ∗ ) has almost polynomial growth, i.e., the sequence of ∗ -codimensions of M cannot be bounded by any polynomial function but any proper ∗ -subvariety of var( M , ∗ ) has polynomial growth. If G 2 is…

Computing the Kekulé structure count for alternant hydrocarbons

2002

A fast computer algorithm brings computation of the permanents of sparse matrices, specifically, molecular adjacency matrices. Examples and results are presented, along with a discussion of the relationship of the permanent to the Kekule structure count. A simple method is presented for determining the Kekule structure count of alternant hydrocarbons. For these hydrocarbons, the square of the Kekule structure count is equal to the permanent of the adjacency matrix. In addition, for alternant structures the adjacency matrix for N atoms can be written in such a way that only an N/2 × N/2 matrix need be evaluated. The Kekule structure count correlates with topological indices. The inclusion of…

Central idempotents and units in rational group algebras of alternating groups

1998

Let ℚAn be the group algebra of the alternating group over the rationals. By exploiting the theory of Young tableaux, we give an explicit description of the minimal central idempotents of ℚAn. As an application we construct finitely many generators for a subgroup of finite index in the centre of the group of units of ℚAn.

A series of finite groups and related symmetric designs

2007

For any odd prime power q = pe we study a certain solvable group G of order q2 · ((q-1)/2)2 · 2 and construct from its internal structure a symmetric design D with parameters (2q2+1, q2, (q2-1)/2) on which G acts as an automorphism group. As a consequence we find that the full automorphism group of D contains a subgroup of order |G| · e2.
