Semiperfect rings with a Nakayama permutation: A survey of Double annihilator property and Size condition

Abstract

For a semiperfect ring with essential socles, the Double annihilator property encodes that the top and socle have anti-isomorphic lattices of submodules, whereas the Size condition encodes that they are isomorphic as modules. Interest in both concepts, particularly for finite rings, was revived by coding theory, where they characterise QF rings and Frobenius rings, respectively. However, their shared origins date back to the work of T. Nakayama. We study these concepts through the lens of the Nakayama permutation, an invariant initially used to define (quasi-)Frobenius rings. We propose semiperfect rings as the setting for this study, treating them as the natural generalisation of finite rings, because they possess the characteristic decomposition of unity preserved by projection onto a semisimple top. This allows us to extend the utility of the Nakayama permutation beyond the classical Artinian setting. By analysing the Nakayama permutation in this broader context, we show that many classical properties of (quasi-)Frobenius rings are not exclusive to the finite case, but are special cases of the general behaviour of semiperfect rings with essential socles. We illustrate these results using B. J. M\"uller's representation of semiperfect rings as rings of formal matrices. The clear description of socles and tops in this setting provides a straightforward method for constructing counterexamples, such as quasi-Frobenius rings that are not Frobenius.

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.
