We give canonical forms of selfadjoint and isometric operators on a complex vector space $U$ with scalar product given by a positive semidefinite Hermitian form, and of Hermitian forms on $U$. For an arbitrary system of semiunitary spaces and linear mappings on/between them, we give an algorithm that reduces their matrices to canonical form.
Let R[G] be the group ring of a group G over an associative ring R with unity such that all prime divisors of orders of elements of G are invertible in R. If R is finite and G is a Chernikov (torsion FC-) group, then each R-derivation of R[G] is inner. Similar results also are obtained for other classes of groups G and rings R.
We classify all complex $7$- and $8$-dimensional dual mock-Lie algebras by algebraic and geometric way. Also we find all non-trivial complex $9$-dimensional dual mock-Lie algebras.
Let $\mathbb F$ be a field of characteristic not $2$, and let $(A,B)$ be a pair of $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb F$, in which $A$ is symmetric and $B$ is skew-symmetric. A canonical form of $(A,B)$ with respect to congruence transformations $(S^TAS,S^TBS)$ was given by Sergeichuk (1988) up to classification of symmetric and Hermitian forms over finite extensions of $\mathbb F$. We obtain a simpler canonical form of $(A,B)$ if $B$ is nonsingular. Such a pair $(A,B)$ defines a quadratic form on a symplectic space, that is, on a vector space with scalar product given by a nonsingular skew-symmetric form. As an application, we obtain known canonical matrices of quadratic forms and Hamiltonian operators on real and complex symplectic spaces.
In this paper we establish a very close link (in terms of von Neumann's coordinatization) between regular modules introduced by Zelmanowitz, on one hand, and von Neumann regular rings, on the other hand: we prove that the lattice $\mathcal{L}^{fg}(M)$ of all finitely generated submodules of a finitely generated regular module $M$, over an arbitrary ring, can be coordinatized as the lattice of all principal right ideals of some von Neumann regular ring $S$.
