A remarkable contraction of semisimple Lie algebras

Dmitri I. Panyushev, Oksana S. Yakimova (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Recently, E.Feigin introduced a very interesting contraction 𝔮 of a semisimple Lie algebra 𝔤 (see arXiv:1007.0646 and arXiv:1101.1898). We prove that these non-reductive Lie algebras retain good invariant-theoretic properties of 𝔤 . For instance, the algebras of invariants of both adjoint and coadjoint representations of 𝔮 are free, and also the enveloping algebra of 𝔮 is a free module over its centre.

A simple characterization of principal ideal domains

Clifford S. Queen (1993)

Acta Arithmetica

1. Introduction. In this note we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integral domain to be a principal ideal domain. Curiously, these conditions are similar to those that characterize Euclidean domains. In Section 2 we establish notation, discuss related results and prove our theorem. Finally, in Section 3 we give two nontrivial applications to real quadratic number fields.

A simple proof of uniqueness for torsion modules over principal ideal domains.

J. L. García Roig (1985)

Stochastica

The aim of this note is to give an alternative proof of uniqueness for the decomposition of a finitely generated torsion module over a P.I.D. (= principal ideal domain) as a direct sum of indecomposable submodules.Our proof tries to mimic as far as we can the standard procedures used when dealing with vector spaces.For the sake of completeness we also include a proof of the existence theorem.
