Abstract

Motivated by lifting problems for principal bundles, we study the following algebraic problem. Let $\smash{\widehat{G}}$ be a group with identity element $e$, let $G \leq \smash{\widehat{G}}$, and let $S$ be a strongly $G$-graded unital ring with principal component $R:=S_e$. We ask whether the given grading extends to a strong $\smash{\widehat{G}}$-grading without altering its $G$-homogeneous components. For every extension $\smash{\widehat{p}}$ of the Picard homomorphism of $S$, we construct a characteristic class in the relative third cohomology group \[ H^3_{\smash{\widehat{p}}}(\smash{\widehat{G}},G;\operatorname{U}(Z(R))), \] where $Z(R)$ denotes the center of $R$ and $\operatorname{U}(Z(R))$ its group of units. The~vanishing of this class is equivalent to the existence of a lift. When it vanishes, the relative second cohomology group \[ H^2_{\smash{\widehat{p}}}(\smash{\widehat{G}},G;\operatorname{U}(Z(R))) \] acts simply transitively on the equivalence classes of lifts with Picard homomorphism $\smash{\widehat{p}}$. We also prove that an $H$-grading is strong if and only if both its restriction to a normal subgroup $N \trianglelefteq H$ and its induced $H/N$-grading are strong. We illustrate the theory through a range of examples.

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.
