On the doubly refined enumeration of alternating sign matrices and totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions.
It is known that the existence of the group inverse a # of a ring element a is equivalent to the invertibility of a 2 a − + 1 − aa −, independently of the choice of the von Neumann inverse a − of a. In this paper, we relate the Drazin index of a to the Drazin index of a 2 a − + 1 − aa −. We give an alternative characterization when considering matrices over an algebraically closed field. We close with some questions and remarks.
Let A be a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field with radical square zero, and such that all simple A-modules have dimension at most two. We give a characterization of those A that have finitely many conjugacy classes of left ideals.
