Abstract

We describe all possible universal localisations of a hereditary ring in terms of suitable full subcategories of the category of finitely presented modules. For these universal localisations we then identify the category of finitely presented bound modules over the universal localisation as being equivalent to a certain full subcategory of the category of finitely presented bound modules over the original ring. We also describe the abelian monoid of finitely generated projective modules over the universal localisation.

Graded identities for matrix algebras of order two over a finite field

Let $G$ be an arbitrary group and let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field. In this paper, we determine bases for the $T_G$-ideals of graded polynomial identities of the algebra $M_2(\mathbb{F})$ for all possible $G$-gradings. The bases obtained consist of finitely many non-trivial graded identities, and are finite whenever $G$ is finite.

Maximal tails,character fibres and induced modules for pullback Kumjian-Pask algebras

Let $f:\N^{k}\to\N^{\ell}$ be a surjective monoid homomorphism and let $Γ$ be a row-finite $\ell$-graph with no sources and finitely many vertices. We give an explicit graded isomorphism from the Kumjian--Pask algebra of the pullback $f^{*}Γ$ onto the tensor product of $\KP_{\K}(Γ)$ and the group algebra of the kernel of the group completion of $f$. When $Γ$ is strongly aperiodic, but need not be cofinal, every maximal tail $T$ and every maximal ideal $\mathfrak m$ of the kernel group algebra determine an explicit primitive ideal and primitive quotient. If, in addition, $\K$ is uncountable and algebraically closed, these ideals exhaust the primitive spectrum. We prove that the resulting parametrisation is a homeomorphism for the product of the maximal-tail and Zariski topologies. Each primitive ideal is realised as the annihilator of a simple module induced from the isotropy of a path which is cofinal in $T$, and the character fibres are algebraic tori. Two examples exhibit, respectively, a single character fibre and the non-Hausdorff gluing of two such fibres.

A classification of group gradings on incidence algebras over commutative rings

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with 1, $P$ a locally finite partially ordered set, and $G$ a group. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for an $R$-algebra isomorphism between the incidence algebra $I(P,R)$ and the group algebra $RG$. Then, for an indecomposable ring $R$, a finite poset $P$ and an arbitrary group $G$, we classify the $G$-gradings of $I(P,R)$ up to graded isomorphism. The classification rests on a complete set of primitive orthogonal homogeneous idempotents. The corner algebras are split group algebras of finite abelian subgroups of $G$, and the off-diagonal Peirce blocks are multiplicity-free sums of bimodules induced from characters of double coset stabilizers. Graded isomorphisms are shown to have a rigid form, and a grading is determined up to graded isomorphism by the poset of idempotents, the corner groups, the types of the atomic bimodules and the structure constants of their multiplication. The data which occur are characterized by polynomial conditions, and over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero only finitely many graded isomorphism classes share given partial invariants. An example shows that the structure constants cannot be omitted. Some previous results are extended and enhanced, while providing alternative proofs for some known facts.
