Nonassociativity in VOA theory and finite group theory

Jr. Griess, Robert L. (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We discuss some examples of nonassociative algebras which occur in VOA (vertex operator algebra) theory and finite group theory. Methods of VOA theory and finite group theory provide a lot of nonassociative algebras to study. Ideas from nonassociative algebra theory could be useful to group theorists and VOA theorists.

Isometries between groups of invertible elements in C*-algebras

Osamu Hatori, Keiichi Watanabe (2012)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We describe all surjective isometries between open subgroups of the groups of invertible elements in unital C*-algebras. As a consequence the two C*-algebras are Jordan *-isomorphic if and only if the groups of invertible elements in those C*-algebras are isometric as metric spaces.

Nonassociative real H*-algebras.

Miguel Cabrera, José Martínez Aroza, Angel Rodríguez Palacios (1988)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

We prove that, if A denotes a topologically simple real (non-associative) H*-algebra, then either A is a topologically simple complex H*-algebra regarded as real H*-algebra or there is a topologically simple complex H*-algebra B with *-involution τ such that A = {b ∈ B : τ(b) = b*}. Using this, we obtain our main result, namely: (algebraically) isomorphic topologically simple real H*-algebras are actually *-isometrically isomorphic.

On the classification of the real flexible division algebras

Erik Darpö (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate the class of finite-dimensional real flexible division algebras. We classify the commutative division algebras, completing an approach by Althoen and Kugler. We solve the isomorphism problem for scalar isotopes of quadratic division algebras, and classify the generalised pseudo-octonion algebras. In view of earlier results by Benkart, Britten and Osborn and Cuenca Mira et al., this reduces the problem of classifying the real flexible division algebras...

Full matrix algebras with structure systems

Hisaaki Fujita (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study associative, basic n × n𝔸-full matrix algebras over a field, whose multiplications are determined by structure systems 𝔸, that is, n-tuples of n × n matrices with certain properties.

Structure of the unit group of the group algebras of non-metabelian groups of order 128

Navamanirajan Abhilash, Elumalai Nandakumar, Rajendra K. Sharma, Gaurav Mittal (2025)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We characterize the unit group for the group algebras of non-metabelian groups of order 128 over the finite fields whose characteristic does not divide the order of the group. Up to isomorphism, there are 2328 groups of order 128 and only 14 of them are non-metabelian. We determine the Wedderburn decomposition of the group algebras of these non-metabelian groups and subsequently characterize their unit groups.
