Abstract

For a positive integer n we introduce quadratic Lie algebras tr_n qtr_n and discrete groups Tr_n, QTr_n naturally associated with the classical and quantum Yang-Baxter equation, respectively. We prove that the universal enveloping algebras of the Lie algebras tr_n, qtr_n are Koszul, and find their Hilbert series. We also compute the cohomology rings of these Lie algebras (which by Koszulity are the quadratic duals of the enveloping algebras). We construct cell complexes which are classifying spaces of the groups Tr_n and QTr_n, and show that the boundary maps in them are zero, which allows us to compute the integral cohomology of these groups. We show that the Lie algebras tr_n, qtr_n map onto the associated graded algebras of the Malcev Lie algebras of the groups Tr_n, QTr_n, respectively. We conjecture that this map is actually an isomorphism (this is now a theorem due to P. Lee). At the same time, we show that the groups Tr_n and QTr_n are not formal for n>3.

A sharp weighted commutator inequality for rank-one matrices

Let $A\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ be positive definite Hermitian, where $n\ge 2$, and define $\|X\|_A^2=\mathrm{tr}(AX^*X)$ for all $X\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$. We determine the smallest constant $C_A$ for which $$ \|XY-YX\|_{\mathrm{F}}^2 \le C_A\|X\|_A^2\|Y\|_A^2 $$ holds for all rank-one $X,Y\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$, where $\|\cdot\|_{\mathrm{F}}$ denotes the Frobenius norm. The constant depends only on the two smallest eigenvalues of $A$ and is determined by a strictly monotone scalar equation. This answers the sharp-constant question for rank-one matrices formulated by Fang and Cheng. We characterize all equality pairs. Also, we present an application to density matrices in quantum physics.

Remarks on the Farthing--Muhly--Yeend inverse semigroup of a finitely aligned higher-rank graph

Given a finitely aligned higher-rank $k$-graph $Λ$, Farthing, Muhly and Yeend (Semigroup Forum 2005) constructed an inverse semigroup $S_Λ$ to provide a groupoid model for the $C^*$-algebra of $Λ$. In this paper, we extend some of the existing results related to the semigroup structure of a graph inverse semigroup to the more general setting of the inverse semigroup $S_Λ$. We obtain geometric descriptions of the Green's relations on $S_Λ$, which effectively generalize the existing characterization of Green's relations on a graph inverse semigroup. We provide a simple and useful description of the Cuntz-Krieger ideal of the Booleanization of $S_Λ$ and, based on this, identify a certain $X$-to-join Booleanization of $S_Λ$, where the abstract and concrete Cuntz-Krieger relations agree. Besides the natural partial order, $S_Λ$ is also ordered by set-inclusion. This helps us to realize $S_Λ$ as a semigroup \emph{graded-ordered} by $\mathbb{Z}^k$ and, subsequently, gives rise to a full inverse subsemigroup $S_Λ^h$ of $S_Λ$, which is graded by $\mathbb{Z}^k$ in the usual sense. We show that the Kumjian-Pask algebra of $Λ$ is graded isomorphic to the quotient of the contracted semigroup algebra of $S_Λ^h$ by the tight ideal. In the final part of the paper, we show that a $k$-graph morphism $p:Λ_1\longrightarrow Λ_2$ that is injective and satisfies a certain path lifting property induces, in a natural way, an injective $0$-preserving semigroup homomorphism from $S_{Λ_1}$ to $S_{Λ_2}$. In view of this, we build a suitable categorical setup to conclude that the isomorphism established between the Kumjian-Pask algebra of $Λ$ and the tight ideal quotient of the semigroup algebra of $S_Λ^h$ is natural.

Upper Bounds on the Strassen CP Rank Gap and Symmetric Rank Gap of Third-Order Tensors

For two third-order tensors over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, we define the Strassen CP rank gap as the sum of their CP ranks minus the CP rank of their direct sum. For arbitrary third-order tensors, we derive explicit upper bounds on this gap in terms of CP rank excess and dimension. For symmetric third-order tensors, we similarly define the Strassen symmetric rank gap using symmetric rank and establish explicit upper bounds in terms of symmetric rank excess, CP rank excess, and dimension. These bounds also yield sufficient conditions for the respective gaps to vanish, ensuring additivity of CP rank or symmetric rank under direct sums.
