On the arithmetic and geometry of binary Hamiltonian forms
2011
Given an indefinite binary quaternionic Hermitian form $f$ with coefficients in a maximal order of a definite quaternion algebra over $\mathbb Q$, we give a precise asymptotic equivalent to the number of nonequivalent representations, satisfying some congruence properties, of the rational integers with absolute value at most $s$ by $f$, as $s$ tends to $+\infty$. We compute the volumes of hyperbolic 5-manifolds constructed by quaternions using Eisenstein series. In the Appendix, V. Emery computes these volumes using Prasad's general formula. We use hyperbolic geometry in dimension 5 to describe the reduction theory of both definite and indefinite binary quaternionic Hermitian forms.
A note on cocharacter sequence of Jordan upper triangular matrix algebra
2016
Let UJn(F) be the Jordan algebra of n × n upper triangular matrices over a field F of characteristic zero. This paper is devoted to the study of polynomial identities satisfied by UJ2(F) and UJ3(F). In particular, the goal is twofold. On one hand, we complete the description of G-graded polynomial identities of UJ2(F), where G is a finite abelian group. On the other hand, we compute the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of the relatively free algebra of UJ2(F) and we give a bound for the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of the relatively free algebra of UJ3(F).
Generalised Deformations, Koszul Resolutions, Moyal Products
1998
We generalise Gerstenhaber's theory of deformations, by dropping the assumption that the deformation parameter should commute with the elements of the original algebra. We give the associated cohomology and construct a Koszul resolution for the polynomial algebra [Formula: see text] in the "homogeneous" case. We then develop examples in the case of [Formula: see text] and find some Moyal-like products of a new type. Finally, we show that, for any field K, matrix algebras with coefficients in K and finite degree extensions of K are rigid, as in the commutative case.
An extension of the algebra of sets
1973
We shall explain the aim which leads us in the construction of an extended system of the algebra of sets1. The symbol 1. {*:?(*)} denoting the set of these and only these elements of domain of the variable x which satisfy the propositional condition (propositional function or form) ?9 (x)" is in com? mon use nowadays, so that it is adopted in school courses of mathematics in many countries, and in Poland as well. This condition will be said to define the set 1. However, if we admit propositional conditions which are meaningless for some values of their variables then we encounter some difficulties connected with the ex? pression 1. The formulae 2. {x : 9 (*)} = {x : 9 (*)}' 3. {x : 9 (s) v …
Integral binary Hamiltonian forms and their waterworlds
2018
We give a graphical theory of integral indefinite binary Hamiltonian forms $f$ analogous to the one by Conway for binary quadratic forms and the one of Bestvina-Savin for binary Hermitian forms. Given a maximal order $\mathcal O$ in a definite quaternion algebra over $\mathbb Q$, we define the waterworld of $f$, analogous to Conway's river and Bestvina-Savin's ocean, and use it to give a combinatorial description of the values of $f$ on $\mathcal O\times\mathcal O$. We use an appropriate normalisation of Busemann distances to the cusps (with an algebraic description given in an independent appendix), and the $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathcal O)$-equivariant Ford-Voronoi cellulation of the real …
Counting and equidistribution in quaternionic Heisenberg groups
2020
AbstractWe develop the relationship between quaternionic hyperbolic geometry and arithmetic counting or equidistribution applications, that arises from the action of arithmetic groups on quaternionic hyperbolic spaces, especially in dimension 2. We prove a Mertens counting formula for the rational points over a definite quaternion algebra A over ${\mathbb{Q}}$ in the light cone of quaternionic Hermitian forms, as well as a Neville equidistribution theorem of the set of rational points over A in quaternionic Heisenberg groups.
On the representation of integers by indefinite binary Hermitian forms
2011
Given an integral indefinite binary Hermitian form f over an imaginary quadratic number field, we give a precise asymptotic equivalent to the number of nonequivalent representations, satisfying some congruence properties, of the rational integers with absolute value at most s by f, as s tends to infinity.
