Abstract

An algebra with zero is an algebra that contains an element 0, called zero, such that all fundamental operations have the property that the result is zero whenever at least one of the arguments takes the value 0. We introduce the notion of the higher commutator of ideals and Rees congruences for such algebras. It is shown that the commutator of Rees congruences is equal to the Rees congruence of the commutator of the corresponding ideals. We apply this result to provide characterisations of n-supernilpotency and n-nilpotency in algebras with zero, as well as n-solvability in groupoids with zero.

Comparing Numbers of Diagonal Subsemigroups and Congruences for Semigroups

Given a semigroup $S$, a diagonal subsemigroup $ρ$ is defined to be a reflexive and compatible relation on $S$, i.e. a subsemigroup of the direct square $S\times S$ containing the diagonal $\{ (s,s)\colon s\in S\}$. When $S$ is finite, we define the DSC coefficient $χ(S)$ to be the ratio of the number of congruences to the number of diagonal subsemigroups. In a previous work we observed that $χ(S) = 1$ if and only if $S$ is a group. Here we show that for any rational $α$ with $0 < α\leq 1$, there exists a semigroup with $χ(S) = α$. We do this by utilizing the Rees matrix construction and adapting the congruence classification of such semigroups to describe their diagonal subsemigroups.

General Polynomials and Eigenvalues Over Cayley--Dickson Algebras

In this paper, we provide an explicit method for determining the zero set of monic quadratic general polynomials over Cayley--Dickson algebras with any base field of characteristic not equal to $2$, which reduces the problem to finding the roots of univariate polynomials over the base field. For the special case of locally-complex Cayley--Dickson algebras over the reals, we prove that every such polynomial has a root. We prove the existence of right eigenvalues for any $2 \times 2$ matrix over Cayley's octonions (the real octonion division algebra), and our root-finding method allows the computation of some of the right eigenvalues.

Extending Structures for $n$-Lie Algebras

Motivated by the Casas-Loday-Pirashvili maps concerning representations of $n$-Leibniz algebras, we give an intrinsic characterization of the cohomology of $n$-Lie algebras with coefficient in a representation space $V$. We investigated the cohomology theory of $n$-Lie algebras in three different ways: cohomology theory of Leibniz algebras, infinitesimal deformation and abelian extension. In the main part of this paper, we solve the extending problems for $n$-Lie algebras. A necessary and sufficient unified-product criterion is obtained. The case of crossed products, sparse non-abelian extensions, matched pairs are studied as special cases. We also investigate the factorizations, deformation maps, and complements problem for $n$-Lie algebras. An appendix removes the general non-reduced unified product with all intermediate mixed components.
