The Polynomial Identities and Invariants of $n \times n$ Matrices
Author: Edward Formanek
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821807307
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 65
Book Description
The theory of polynomial identities, as a well-defined field of study, began with a well-known 1948 article of Kaplansky. The field has since developed along two branches: the structural, which investigates the properties of rings which satisfy a polynomial identity; and the varietal, which investigates the set of polynomials in the free ring which vanish under all specializations in a given ring. This book is based on lectures delivered during an NSF-CBMS Regional Conference, held at DePaul University in July 1990, at which the author was the principal lecturer. The first part of the book is concerned with polynomial identity rings. The emphasis is on those parts of the theory related to n x n matrices, including the major structure theorems and the construction of certain polynomials identities and central polynomials for n x n matrices. The ring of generic matrices and its centre is described. The author then moves on to the invariants of n x n matrices, beginning with the first and second fundamental theorems, which are used to describe the polynomial identities satisfied by n x n matrices. One of the exceptional features of this book is the way it emphasizes the connection between polynomial identities and invariants of n x n matrices. Accessible to those with background at the level of a first-year graduate course in algebra, this book gives readers an understanding of polynomial identity rings and invariant theory, as well as an indication of current problems and research in these areas.

Polynomial Identity Rings
Author: Vesselin Drensky
Publisher: Birkhäuser
ISBN: 3034879342
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
These lecture notes treat polynomial identity rings from both the combinatorial and structural points of view. The greater part of recent research in polynomial identity rings is about combinatorial questions, and the combinatorial part of the lecture notes gives an up-to-date account of recent research. On the other hand, the main structural results have been known for some time, and the emphasis there is on a presentation accessible to newcomers to the subject.

Rings with Polynomial Identities and Finite Dimensional Representations of Algebras
Author: Eli Aljadeff
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470451743
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 630
Book Description
A polynomial identity for an algebra (or a ring) A A is a polynomial in noncommutative variables that vanishes under any evaluation in A A. An algebra satisfying a nontrivial polynomial identity is called a PI algebra, and this is the main object of study in this book, which can be used by graduate students and researchers alike. The book is divided into four parts. Part 1 contains foundational material on representation theory and noncommutative algebra. In addition to setting the stage for the rest of the book, this part can be used for an introductory course in noncommutative algebra. An expert reader may use Part 1 as reference and start with the main topics in the remaining parts. Part 2 discusses the combinatorial aspects of the theory, the growth theorem, and Shirshov's bases. Here methods of representation theory of the symmetric group play a major role. Part 3 contains the main body of structure theorems for PI algebras, theorems of Kaplansky and Posner, the theory of central polynomials, M. Artin's theorem on Azumaya algebras, and the geometric part on the variety of semisimple representations, including the foundations of the theory of Cayley–Hamilton algebras. Part 4 is devoted first to the proof of the theorem of Razmyslov, Kemer, and Braun on the nilpotency of the nil radical for finitely generated PI algebras over Noetherian rings, then to the theory of Kemer and the Specht problem. Finally, the authors discuss PI exponent and codimension growth. This part uses some nontrivial analytic tools coming from probability theory. The appendix presents the counterexamples of Golod and Shafarevich to the Burnside problem.

Lectures on Rings and Modules
Author: Joachim Lambek
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 082184900X
Category : Associative rings
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
This book is an introduction to the theory of associative rings and their modules, designed primarily for graduate students. The standard topics on the structure of rings are covered, with a particular emphasis on the concept of the complete ring of quotients. A survey of the fundamental concepts of algebras in the first chapter helps to make the treatment self-contained. The topics covered include selected results on Boolean and other commutative rings, the classical structure theory of associative rings, injective modules, and rings of quotients. The final chapter provides an introduction to homological algebra. Besides three appendices on further results, there is a six-page section of historical comments. Table of Contents: Fundamental Concepts of Algebra: 1.1 Rings and related algebraic systems; 1.2 Subrings, homomorphisms, ideals; 1.3 Modules, direct products, and direct sums; 1.4 Classical isomorphism theorems. Selected Topics on Commutative Rings: 2.1 Prime ideals in commutative rings; 2.2 Prime ideals in special commutative rings; 2.3 The complete ring of quotients of a commutative ring; 2.4 Rings of quotients of commutative semiprime rings; 2.5 Prime ideal spaces.Classical Theory of Associative Rings: 3.1 Primitive rings; 3.2 Radicals; 3.3 Completely reducible modules; 3.4 Completely reducible rings; 3.5 Artinian and Noetherian rings; 3.6 On lifting idempotents; 3.7 Local and semiperfect rings. Injectivity and Related Concepts: 4.1 Projective modules; 4.2 Injective modules; 4.3 The complete ring of quotients; 4.4 Rings of endomorphisms of injective modules; 4.5 Regular rings of quotients; 4.6 Classical rings of quotients; 4.7 The Faith-Utumi theorem. Introduction to Homological Algebra: 5.1 Tensor products of modules; 5.2 Hom and $\otimes$ as functors; 5.3 Exact sequences; 5.4 Flat modules; 5.5 Torsion and extension products. Appendixes; Comments; Bibliography; Index. Review from Zentralblatt Math: Due to their clarity and intelligible presentation, these lectures on rings and modules are a particularly successful introduction to the surrounding circle of ideas. Review from American Mathematical Monthly: An introduction to associative rings and modules which requires of the reader only the mathematical maturity which one would attain in a first-year graduate algebra [course]...in order to make the contents of the book as accessible as possible, the author develops all the fundamentals he will need.In addition to covering the basic topics...the author covers some topics not so readily available to the nonspecialist...the chapters are written to be as independent as possible...[which will be appreciated by] students making their first acquaintance with the subject...one of the most successful features of the book is that it can be read by graduate students with little or no help from a specialist.
