We investigate the relationship between the Gröbner-Shirshov bases in free associative algebras, free left modules and “double-free” left modules (that is, free modules over a free algebra). We first give Chibrikov’s Composition-Diamond lemma for modules and then we show that Kang-Lee’s Composition-Diamond lemma follows from it. We give the Gröbner-Shirshov bases for the following modules: the highest weight module over a Lie algebra $s{l}_2$, the Verma module over a Kac-Moody algebra, the Verma module...

Gröbner bases for modules are used to calculate a generalized linear immersion for a plant whose solutions to its regulation equations are polynomials or pseudo-polynomials. After calculating the generalized linear immersion, we build the controller which gives the robust regulation.

We develop a new combinatorial method to deal with a degree estimate for subalgebras generated by two elements in different environments. We obtain a lower bound for the degree of the elements in two-generated subalgebras of a free associative algebra over a field of zero characteristic. We also reproduce a somewhat refined degree estimate of Shestakov and Umirbaev for the polynomial algebra, which plays an essential role in the recent celebrated solution of the Nagata conjecture and the strong...

Let ${\Delta }_{n,d}$ (resp. ${\Delta }_{n,d}^{\text{'}}$) be the simplicial complex and the facet ideal $I_{n,d}=(x_1\cdots x_d,x_{d-k+1}\cdots x_{2d-k},...,x_{n-d+1}\cdots x_n)$ (resp. $J_{n,d}=(x_1\cdots x_d,x_{d-k+1}\cdots x_{2d-k},...,x_{n-2d+2k+1}\cdots x_{n-d+2k},x_{n-d+k+1}\cdots x_n{x}_1\cdots x_k)$). When $d\ge 2k+1$, we give the exact formulas to compute the depth and Stanley depth of quotient rings $S/J_{n,d}$ and $S/I_{n,d}^t$ for all $t\ge 1$. When $d=2k$, we compute the depth and Stanley depth of quotient rings $S/J_{n,d}$ and $S/I_{n,d}$, and give lower bounds for the depth and Stanley depth of quotient rings $S/I_{n,d}^t$ for all $t\ge 1$.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 11T06, 13P10.A theorem of S.D. Cohen gives a characterization for Dickson polynomials of the second kind that permutes the elements of a finite field of cardinality the square of the characteristic. Here, a different proof is presented for this result.Research supported by the CERES program of the Ministry of Education, Research and Youth, contract nr. 39/2002.
