Brauer characters and coprime action
2016
Abstract It is an open problem to show that under a coprime action, the number of invariant Brauer characters of a finite group is the number of the Brauer characters of the fixed point subgroup. We prove that this is true if the non-abelian simple groups satisfy a stronger condition.
On the ∗-cocharacter sequence of 3×3 matrices
2000
Abstract Let M 3 (F) be the algebra of 3×3 matrices with involution * over a field F of characteristic zero. We study the ∗ -polynomial identities of M 3 (F) , where ∗=t is the transpose involution, through the representation theory of the hyperoctahedral group B n . After decomposing the space of multilinear ∗ -polynomial identities of degree n under the B n -action, we determine which irreducible B n -modules appear with non-zero multiplicity. In symbols, we write the nth ∗ -cocharacter χ n (M 3 (F),*)=∑ r=0 n ∑ λ⊢r,h(λ)⩽6 μ⊢n−r,h(μ)⩽3 m λ,μ χ λ,μ , where λ and μ are partitions of r and n−r , respectively, χ λ,μ is the irreducible B n -character associated to the pair (λ,μ) and m λ,μ ⩾0 i…
Ordinary and graded cocharacter of the Jordan algebra of 2x2 upper triangular matrices
2014
Abstract Let F be a field of characteristic zero and U J 2 ( F ) be the Jordan algebra of 2 × 2 upper triangular matrices over F . In this paper we give a complete description of the space of multilinear graded and ordinary identities in the language of Young diagrams through the representation theory of a Young subgroup of S n . For every Z 2 -grading of U J 2 ( F ) we compute the multiplicities in the graded cocharacter sequence and furthermore we compute the ordinary cocharacter.
Polynomial identities on superalgebras: Classifying linear growth
2006
Abstract We classify, up to PI-equivalence, the superalgebras over a field of characteristic zero whose sequence of codimensions is linearly bounded. As a consequence we determine the linear functions describing the graded codimensions of a superalgebra.
Indecomposable modules over the Virasoro Lie algebra and a conjecture of V. Kac
1991
We consider a class of indecomposable modules over the Virasoro Lie algebra that we call bounded admissible modules. We get results concerning the center and the dimensions of the weight spaces. We prove that these modules always contain a submodule with one-dimensional weight spaces. From this follows the proof of a conjecture of V. Kac concerning the classification of simple admissible modules.
A computational criterion for the Kac conjecture
2006
Abstract We give a criterion for the Kac conjecture asserting that the free term of the polynomial counting the absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field of given dimension coincides with the corresponding root multiplicity of the associated Kac–Moody algebra. Our criterion suits very well for computer tests.
A restriction on the schur multiplier of nilpotent lie algebras
2011
An improvement of a bound of Yankosky (2003) is presented in this paper, thanks to a restriction which has been recently obtained by the authors on the Schur multiplier M(L) of a finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra L. It is also described the structure of all nilpotent Lie algebras such that the bound is attained. An important role is played by the presence of a derived subalgebra of maximal dimension. This allows precision on the size of M(L). Among other results, applications to the non-abelian tensor square L ⊗ L are illustrated.
Group algebras and Lie nilpotence
2013
Abstract Let ⁎ be an involution of a group algebra FG induced by an involution of the group G. For char F ≠ 2 , we classify the groups G with no 2-elements and with no nonabelian dihedral groups involved whose Lie algebra of ⁎-skew elements is nilpotent.
Group algebras of torsion groups and Lie nilpotence
2010
Letbe an involution of a group algebra FG induced by an involution of the group G. For char F 0 2, we classify the torsion groups G with no elements of order 2 whose Lie al- gebra of � -skew elements is nilpotent.
Serial subalgebras of finitary Lie algebras
2000
A Lie subalgebra L of glK(V ) is said to be finitary if it consists of elements of finite rank. We show that, if L acts irreducibly on V , and if V is infinite-dimensional, then every non-trivial ascendant Lie subalgebra of L acts irreducibly on V too. When CharK 6= 2, it follows that the locally solvable radical of such L is trivial. In general, locally solvable finitary Lie algebras over fields of characteristic 6= 2 are hyperabelian.
