AbstractIn this paper, we characterize Jordan *-derivations of a 2-torsion free, finite-dimensional semiprime algebra R with involution *. To be precise, we prove the following. Let δ : R → R be a Jordan *-derivation. Then there exists a *-algebra decomposition R = U ⊕ V such that both U and V are invariant under δ. Moreover, * is the identity map of U and δ|U is a derivation, and the Jordan *-derivation δ|V is inner. We also prove the following. Let R be a noncommutative, centrally closed prime algebra with involution *, char R ≠ 2, and let δ be a nonzero Jordan *-derivation of R. If δ is an elementary operator of R, then dimCR < ∞ and δ is inner.

In this paper we prove the following result: let$m,n\geq 1$be distinct integers, let$R$be an$mn(m+n)|m-n|$-torsion free semiprime ring and let$D:R\rightarrow R$be an$(m,n)$-Jordan derivation, that is an additive mapping satisfying the relation$(m+n)D(x^{2})=2mD(x)x+2nxD(x)$for$x\in R$. Then$D$is a derivation which maps$R$into its centre.

AbstractThis article studies algebras R over a simple artinian ring A, presented by a quiver and relations and graded by a semigroup Σ. Suitable semigroups often arise from a presentation of R. Throughout, the algebras need not be finite dimensional. The graded K0, along with the Σ-graded Cartan endomorphisms and Cartan matrices, is examined. It is used to study homological properties.A test is found for finiteness of the global dimension of a monomial algebra in terms of the invertibility of the Hilbert Σ-series in the associated path incidence ring.The rationality of the Σ-Euler characteristic, the Hilbert Σ-series and the Poincaré-Betti Σ-series is studied when Σ is torsion-free commutative and A is a division ring. These results are then applied to the classical series. Finally, we find new finite dimensional algebras for which the strong no loops conjecture holds.

This paper is a continuation of our previous work in [12]. The results, and some applications, have been described in the announcement [13]; it may be useful to discuss here, a little more fully, the nature and purpose of this work.We are concerned basically with three kinds of algorithmic problem: (1) isomorphism problems, (2) “orbit problems”, and (3) “effective generation”.(1) Isomorphism problems. Here we have a class of algebraic objects of some kind, and ask: is there a uniform algorithm for deciding whether two arbitrary members of are isomorphic? In most cases, the answer is no: no such algorithm exists. Indeed this has been one of the most notable applications of methods of mathematical logic in algebra (see [26, Chapter IV, §4] for the case where is the class of all finitely presented groups). It turns out, however, that when consists of objects which are in a certain sense “finite-dimensional”, then the isomorphism problem is indeed algorithmically soluble. We gave such algorithms in [12] for the following cases: = {finitely generated nilpotent groups}; = {(not necessarily associative) rings whose additive group is finitely generated}; = {finitely Z-generated modules over a fixed finitely generated ring}.Combining the methods of [12] with his own earlier work, Sarkisian has obtained analogous results with the integers replaced by the rationals: in [20] and [21] he solves the isomorphism problem for radicable torsion-free nilpotent groups of finite rank and for finite-dimensional Q-algebras.

AbstractIf R is a Dedekind domain, then div splits i.e.; the maximal divisible submodule of every R-module M is a direct summand of M. We investigate the status of this result for some finite-dimensional hereditary algebras. We use a torsion theory which permits the existence of torsion-free divisible modules for such algebras. Using this torsion theory we prove that the algebras obtained from extended Coxeter- Dynkin diagrams are the only such hereditary algebras for which div splits. The field of rational functions plays an essential role. The paper concludes with a new type of infinite-dimensional indecomposable module over a finite-dimensional wild hereditary algebra.

Our main result is that a “restricted Poincaré duality” property with respect to finite dimensional coefficient modules over a field holds for a certain class of groups which includes all soluble groups of finite Hirsch length. This relies on a generalisation to the given class of a module construction by Stammbach; an extension of his result on homological dimension to these groups is given. We also generalise the well-known result that torsion-free soluble groups of finite rank are countable.

The authors extend and generalize some results of previous workers to ?-prime ?-ring. For a ?-square closed Lie ideal U of a 2-torsion free ?-prime ?-ring M, let d: M ?M be an additive mapping satisfying d(u?u)=d(u)? u + u?d(u) for all u ? U and ? ? ?. The present authors proved that d(u?v) = d(u)?v + u?d(v) for all u, v ? U and ?? ?, and consequently, every Jordan derivation of a 2-torsion free ?-prime ?-ring M is a derivation of M.Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 39, No. 2, 249-255, 2015

Let R be a prime ring with extended centroid C. We prove that an additive map from R into RC + C can be characterized in terms of left and right b-generalized derivations if it has a generalized derivation expansion. As a consequence, a generalization of the Noether–Skolem theorem is proved among other things: A linear map from a finite-dimensional central simple algebra into itself is an elementary operator if it has a generalized derivation expansion.

It is proved that the Lie groups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] represented in ℝ56 and the Lie group [Formula: see text] represented in ℝ112 occur as holonomies of torsion-free affine connections. It is also shown that the moduli spaces of torsion-free affine connections with these holonomies are finite dimensional, and that every such connection has a local symmetry group of positive dimension.
