Abstract

Let $T$ be a right exact functor from an abelian category $\mathscr{B}$ into another abelian category $\mathscr{A}$. Then there exists a functor ${\bf p}$ from the product category $\mathscr{A}\times\mathscr{B}$ to the comma category $(T\downarrow\mathscr{A})$. In this paper, we study the property of the extension closure of some classes of objects in $(T\downarrow\mathscr{A})$, the exactness of the functor ${\bf p}$ and the detail description of orthogonal classes of a given class ${\bf p}(\mathcal{X},\mathcal{Y})$ in $(T\downarrow\mathscr{A})$. Moreover, we characterize when special precovering classes in abelian categories $\mathscr{A}$ and $\mathscr{B}$ can induce special precovering classes in $(T\downarrow\mathscr{A})$. As an application, we prove that under suitable cases, the class of Gorenstein projective left $\Lambda$-modules over a triangular matrix ring $\Lambda=\left(\begin{smallmatrix}R & M \\ O & S \end{smallmatrix} \right)$ is special precovering if and only if both the classes of Gorenstein projective left $R$-modules and left $S$-modules are special precovering. Consequently, we produce a large variety of examples of rings such that the class of Gorenstein projective modules is special precovering over them.

Invariants of Nilpotent Lie Algebras via Geometry and Algebra with a Focus on Computation

We consider the problem of computing rational invariants of nilpotent Lie algebras. We compare two methods that are commonly used for this task: the method of integral curves and the Dixmier map. Given a derivation of a rational function field with polynomial coefficients, we formulate a condition under which the kernel can be recovered from a family of rational integral curves, and we show that triangular derivations satisfy this hypothesis. This yields an explicit description of the kernel as a purely transcendental extension and produces algebraically independent generators. We also show that, in the triangular case, the resulting generators agree with those obtained from the Dixmier map via a local slice. A careful analysis of the generating set obtained from this method leads to an algorithm for computing generators of the rational invariant field of a nilpotent Lie algebra. An implementation of the methods is available in the SageMath system.

Quasilinear multiplication in the real Cayley--Dickson tower

Direct evaluation of the defining product in the real Cayley--Dickson algebra $A_n$, of dimension $N=2^n$, has quadratic arithmetic complexity. This paper gives a uniform algorithm for multiplication using $O(N\log N)$ real arithmetic operations and $O(N)$ auxiliary storage. The algorithm reduces multiplication to the alternating product on the imaginary subspace, then evaluates that product by a two-call recursion over one fixed quadratic coefficient extension. For $n\ge1$, the resulting bilinear algorithm uses at most $(9n-15)2^{n-1}+10$ input-dependent real multiplications, and for $n\ge3$, the specified arithmetic schedule uses $(34n-83)2^{n-1}+50$ real operations in total. Under this counting convention, the quasilinear schedule uses fewer operations than direct multiplication for $N\ge16$ and than the uniform Cariow--Cariowa method for $N\ge32$. The algorithm is implemented in the MIT-licensed C11 library fastCD, with a NumPy-backed Python interface, and its results are checked against an independent implementation of the defining recursion. In single-core benchmarks against direct multiplication and the uniform Cariow--Cariowa method, the quasilinear implementation had the lowest mean time of the three at every tested dimension $N\ge32$, for both single and batched products, and was roughly $16$ times faster than direct multiplication at $N=1024$.

Graded classification of Leavitt path algebras in terms of strong shift equivalence

Given two finite essential adjacency matrices $A$ and $B$, Hazrat's graded classification conjectures posit that an order preserving $\mathbb{Z}[x,x^{-1}]$-module isomorphism of $K_0$ groups implies graded Morita equivalence of the Leavitt path algebras of $A$ and $B$, while the pointed version predicts a graded isomorphism of the Leavitt path algebras when the $K_0$ group isomorphism additionally preserves the class of the regular module. For any field $k$, we show that the Leavitt path algebras over $k$ of $A$ and $B$ are graded Morita equivalent if and only if $A$ and $B$ are strong shift equivalent. By appealing to counterexamples of Kim and Roush from symbolic dynamics, this shows that Hazrat's graded classification conjectures are false.
