Leavitt Path Algebra over Kronecker Square of Quivers and Cross product algebra

In this paper, we initiate the study of Leavitt path algebra over Kronecker square of a quiver and show the similarities and contrasts in the properties of Leavitt path algebra over a quiver and its Kronecker square. Furthermore, we discuss the connection of Leavitt path algebra over Kronecker square of a quiver with Hayashi's face algebra and the cross product algebra construction of the Leavitt path algebra over the original quiver.

Algebraic characterisations of path algebras

The theory of path algebras is usually circunscripted to the study of representations, usually linked to finite graphs. In our work, we focus on studying the structure of path algebras over a field associated to arbitrary graphs. We characterise perfection (simplicity, primitivity, primeness and semiprimeness) and finitness conditions (artinianity, semiartinianity and noetherianity) in terms of geometric conditions in the associated graph. In order to do so, we also compute the socle and the Jacobson radical of a path algebra. In addition, we study the centroid of any path algebra and the extended centroid and central closure of the path algebra of a cycle. We obtain two structure theorems, one for semiprime path algebras, and another for noetherian ones. Semiprime path algebras are direct sum of simple, prime and primitive algebras, and noetherian path algebras modulo its radical will be isomorphic to upper triangular formal matrix algebras, they can also be seen as direct sums of path algebras of cycles and copies of the ground field itself.

Solenoids in automorphism groups of evolution algebras

Let A be an evolution algebra (possibly infinite-dimensional) equipped with a fixed natural basis B, and let E be the associated graph defined by Elduque and Labra. We describe the group of automorphisms of A that are diagonalizable with respect to B. This group arises as the inverse limit of a functor (a diagram) from the category associated with the graph E to the category of groups. In certain cases, this group can be realized as a dyadic solenoid. Additionally, we investigate the automorphisms that permute (and possibly scale) the elements of B. In particular, for algebras satisfying the 2LI condition, we provide a complete description of their automorphism group.

On the socle of a class of Steinberg algebras

We study minimal left ideals in Steinberg algebras of Hausdorff groupoids. We establish a relationship between minimal left ideals in the algebra and open singletons in the unit space of the groupoid. We apply this to obtain results about the socle of Steinberg algebras under certain hypotheses. This encompasses known results about Leavitt path algebras and improves on Kumjian-Pask algebra results to include higher-rank graphs that are not row-finite.

Hopf algebras and associative representations of two-dimensional evolution algebras

In this paper, we establish a connection between evolution algebras of dimension two and Hopf algebras, via the algebraic group of automorphisms of an evolution algebra. Initially, we describe the Hopf algebra associated with the automorphism group of a 2-dimensional evolution algebra. Subsequently, for a 2-dimensional evolution algebra $A$ over a field $K$, we detail the relation between the algebra associated with the (tight) universal associative and commutative representation of $A$, referred to as the (tight) $p$-algebra, and the corresponding Hopf algebra, $\mathcal{H}$, representing the affine group scheme $\text{Aut}(A)$. Our analysis involves the computation of the (tight) $p-$algebra associated with any 2-dimensional evolution algebra, whenever it exists. We find that $\text{Aut}(A)=1$ if and only if there is no faithful associative and commutative representation for $A$. Moreover, there is a faithful associative and commutative representation for $A$ if and only if $\mathcal{H}\not\cong K$ and $\text{char} (K)\neq 2$, or $\mathcal{H}\not\cong K(ε)$ (the dual numbers algebra) and $\mathcal{H}\not\cong K$ in case of $\text{char} (K)= 2$. Furthermore, if $A$ is perfect and has a faithful tight $p$-algebra, then this $p$-algebra is isomorphic to $\mathcal{H}$ (as algebras). Finally, we derive implications for arbitrary finite-dimensional evolution algebras.

Centroid and algebraic properties of evolution algebras through graphs

The leitmotiv of this paper is linking algebraic properties of an evolution algebra with combinatorial properties of the (possibly several) graphs that one can associate to the algebra. We link nondegeneracy, zero annihilator, absorption property, von Neumann regularity, and primeness with suitable properties in the associated graph. In the presence of semiprimeness, the property of primeness is equivalent to any associated graph being downward directed. We also provide a description of the prime ideals in an evolution algebra and prove that certain algebraic properties, such as semiprimeness and perfection, can not be characterized in combinatorial terms. We describe the centroid of evolution algebras as constant functions along the connected components of its associated graph. The dimension of the centroid of a zero annihilator algebra $A$ agrees with the cardinal of the connected components of any possible graph associated to $A$. This is the combinatorial expression of an algebraic uniqueness property in the decomposition of $A$ as indecomposable algebras with $1$-dimensional centroid.

The algebraic entropies of the Leavitt path algebra and the graph algebras agree

In this note we prove that the algebras $L_K(E)$ and $KE$ have the same entropy. Entropy is always referred to the standard filtrations in the corresponding kind of algebra. The main argument leans on (1) the holomorphic functional calculus; (2) the relation of entropy with suitable norm of the adjacency matrix; and (3) the Cohn path algebras which yield suitable bounds for the algebraic entropies.

On some structural properties of evolution algebras

We consider the intersection $\mathfrak{M}(A)$ of all maximal ideals of an evolution algebra $A$ and study the structure of the quotient $A/\M(A)$. In a previous work, maximal ideals have been related to hereditary subsets of a graph associated to the given algebra. We investigate the superfluous members both in the family of maximal ideals and also in the set of hereditary subsets of the associated graphs. By using subdirect products we state a structure theorem for arbitrary evolution algebras (arbitrary dimensions and ground field). Specializing in the perfect finite-dimensional case, we obtain a direct sum decomposition instead of a subdirect product and also a uniqueness property. We also study some examples in which Grassmanians appear in a natural way and others that exhibit a richer structure with a nonzero semisimple part that is non-associative.

Connecting ideals in evolution algebras with hereditary subsets of its associated graph

In this article, we introduce a relation including ideals of an evolution algebra and hereditary subsets of vertices of its associated graph and establish some properties among them. This relation allows us to determine maximal ideals and ideals having the absorption property of an evolution algebra in terms of its associated graph. We also define a couple of order-preserving maps, one from the sets of ideals of an evolution algebra to that of hereditary subsets of the corresponding graph, and the other in the reverse direction. Conveniently restricted to the set of absorption ideals and to the set of hereditary saturated subsets, this is a monotone Galois connection. According to the graph, we characterize arbitrary dimensional finitely-generated (as algebras) evolution algebras under certain restrictions of its graph. Furthermore, the simplicity of finitely-generated perfect evolution algebras is described on the basis of the simplicity of the graph.

Conservative algebras of $2$-dimensional algebras, V

The notion of conservative algebras appeared in a paper by Kantor in 1972. Later, he defined the conservative algebra $W(n)$ of all algebras (i.e. bilinear maps) on the $n$-dimensional vector space. If $n>1$, then the algebra $W(n)$ does not belong to any well-known class of algebras (such as associative, Lie, Jordan, or Leibniz algebras). It looks like $W(n)$ in the theory of conservative algebras plays a similar role to the role of $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ in the theory of Lie algebras. Namely, an arbitrary conservative algebra can be obtained from a universal algebra $W(n)$ for some $n \in \mathbb{N}.$ The present paper is a part of a series of papers, which dedicated to the study of the algebra $W(2)$ and its principal subalgebras.

Algebraic entropy and a complete classification of path algebras over finite graphs by growth

The Gelfand-Kirillov dimension is a well established quantity to classify the growth of infinite dimensional algebras. In this article we introduce the algebraic entropy for path algebras. For the path algebras, Leavitt path algebras and the path algebra of the extended (double) graph, we compare the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension and the entropy. We give a complete classification of path algebras over finite graphs by dimension, Gelfand-Kirillov dimension and algebraic entropy. We show indeed how these three quantities are dependent on cycles inside the graph. Moreover we show that the algebraic entropy is conserved under Morita equivalence. In addition we give several examples of the entropy in path algebras and Leavitt path algebras.

On simple evolution algebras of dimension two and three. Constructing simple and semisimple evolution algebras

This work classifies three-dimensional simple evolution algebras over arbitrary fields. For this purpose, we use tools such as the associated directed graph, the moduli set, inductive limit group, Zariski topology and the dimension of the diagonal subspace. Explicitly, in the three-dimensional case, we construct some models $_i\mathbf{III}_{λ_1,\ldots,λ_n}^{p,q}$ of such algebras with $1\le i\le 4$, $λ_i\in\mathbb{K}^\times$, $p,q\in\mathbb{N}$, such that any algebra is isomorphic to one (and only one) of the given in the models and we further investigate the isomorphic question within each one. Moreover, we show how to construct simple evolution algebras of higher-order from known simple evolution algebras of smaller size.

Two dimensional perfect evolution algebras over domains

We will study evolution algebras $A$ which are free modules of dimension $2$ over domains. Furthermore, we will assume that these algebras are perfect, that is $A^2=A$. We start by making some general considerations about algebras over domains: they are sandwiched between a certain essential $D$-submodule and its scalar extension over the field of fractions of the domain. We introduce the notion of quasiperfect algebras and modify slightly the procedure to associate a graph to an evolution algebra over a field given in \cite{ElduqueGraphs}. Essentially, we introduce color in the connecting arrows, depending on a suitable criterion related to the squares of the natural basis elements. Then we classify the algebras under scope parametrizing the isomorphic classes by convenient moduli.

On isomorphism conditions for algebra functors with applications to Leavitt path algebras

We introduce certain functors from the category of commutative rings (and related categories) to that of $\mathbb{Z}$-algebras (not necessarily associative or commutative). One of the motivating examples is the Leavitt path algebra functor $R\mapsto L_R(E)$ for a given graph $E$. Our goal is to find "descending" isomorphism results of the type: if $\mathfrak{F},\mathcal{G}$ are algebra functors and $K\subset K'$ a field extension, under what conditions an isomorphism $\mathfrak{F}(K')\cong \mathcal{G}(K')$ of $K'$-algebras implies the existence of an isomorphism $\mathfrak{F}(K)\cong\mathcal{G}(K)$ of $K$-algebras? We find some positive answers to that problem for the so-called "extension invariant functors" which include the functors associated to Leavitt path algebras, Steinberg algebras, path algebras, group algebras, evolution algebras and others. For our purposes, we employ an extension of the Hilbert's Nullstellensatz Theorem for polynomials in possibly infinitely many variables, as one of our main tools. We also remark that for extension invariant functors $\mathfrak{F},\mathcal{G}$, an isomorphism $\mathfrak{F}(H)\cong\mathcal{G}(H)$, for some Hopf $K$-algebra $H$, implies the existence of an isomorphism $\mathfrak{F}(S)\cong\mathcal{G}(S)$ for any commutative and unital $K$-algebra $S$.

Tensor product of evolution algebras

The starting point of this work is that the class of evolution algebras over a fixed field is closed under tensor product. This arises questions about the inheritance of properties from the tensor product to the factors and conversely. For instance nondegeneracy, irreducibility, perfectness and simplicity are investigated. The four-dimensional case is illustrative and useful to contrast conjectures so we achieve a complete classification of four-dimensional perfect evolution algebras arising as tensor product of two-dimensional ones. We find that there are 4-dimensional evolution algebras which are the tensor product of two nonevolution algebras.

Simultaneous orthogonalization of inner products in infinite-dimensional vector spaces

For an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$ and a family of inner products in a $\mathbb{K}$-vector space $V$ of arbitrary dimension, we study necessary and sufficient conditions in order to have an orthogonal basis relative to all the inner products. If the family contains a nondegenerate element plus a compatibility condition, then under mild hypotheses the simultaneous orthogonalization can be achieved. So we investigate several constructions whose purpose is to add a nondegenerate element to a degenerate family and we study under what conditions the enlarged family is nondegenerate.

Evolution algebras with one-dimensional square

Evolution algebras with one dimensional square are classified using the theory of inner product spaces. More precisely, for $A$ an evolution algebra with $\dim(A^2) = 1$ and $a$ a generator of $A^2$, the product of $A$ is given by $xy = \langle x,y\rangle a$. Three broad classes of algebras are obtained: (1) $a\in\hbox{Ann}(A)$; (2) $a\notin\text{Ann}(A)$ and $a$ is isotropic relative to $\langle\cdot, \cdot\rangle$; (3) $a\notin\text{Ann}(A)$ and $a$ is anisotropic relative to $\langle\cdot, \cdot\rangle$.
