We consider inhomogeneous matrix products over max-plus algebra, where the matrices in the product satisfy certain assumptions under which the matrix products of sufficient length are rank-one, as it was shown in [6] (Shue, Anderson, Dey 1998). We establish a bound on the transient after which any product of matrices whose length exceeds that bound becomes rank-one.
Let be the set of nonnegative integers and the ring of integers. Let be the ring of matrices over generated by the following two matrices: one obtained from the identity matrix by shifting the ones one position to the right and the other one position down. This ring plays an important role in the study of directly finite rings. Calculation of invertible and idempotent elements of yields that the subrings generated by them coincide. This subring is the sum of the ideal consisting of...
We give a graphical calculus for a monoidal DG category ℐ whose Grothendieck group is isomorphic to the ring ℤ[√(-1)]. We construct a categorical action of ℐ which lifts the action of ℤ[√(-1)] on ℤ².
Let A be a finite-dimensional, basic, connected algebra over an algebraically closed field. Denote by Γ(A) the Auslander-Reiten quiver of A. We show that A is representation-finite if and only if Γ(A) has at most finitely many vertices lying on oriented cycles and finitely many orbits with respect to the action of the Auslander-Reiten translation.

It is known that a variety V has polynomial growth if and only if V does not contain the Grassmann algebra and the algebra of 2 × 2 upper triangular matrices. It follows that any variety with overpolynomial growth has exponent at least...
