On Free Associative Algebras Linearly Graded by Finite Groups
As an instance of a linear action of a Hopf algebra on a free associative algebra, we consider finite group gradings of a free algebra induced by gradings on the space spanned by the free generators. The homogeneous component corresponding to the identity of the group is a free subalgebra which is graded by the usual degree. We look into its Hilbert series and prove that it is a rational functi...
متن کاملWhitehead Groups of Finite Groups
In 1966, Milnor surveyed in this Bulletin [23] the concept of Whitehead torsion, focusing on the definition, topological significance and computation of Whitehead groups and their relationship to algebraic ^-theory and the congruence subgroup problem. As Milnor showed in that survey [23, Appendix 1], an affirmative solution to the congruence subgroup problem for algebraic number fields would im...
متن کاملThe Anick automorphism of free associative algebras
We prove that the well-known Anick automorphism (see [3, p. 343]) of the free associative algebra F < x, y, z > over an arbitrary field F of characteristic 0 is wild.
متن کاملFinitely Generated Invariants of Hopf Algebras on Free Associative Algebras
We show that the invariants of a free associative algebra of finite rank under a linear action of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra generated by group-like and skew-primitive elements form a finitely generated algebra exactly when the action is scalar. This generalizes an analogous result for group actions by automorphisms obtained by Dicks and Formanek, and Kharchenko.
متن کاملTest Groups for Whitehead Groups
We consider the question of when the dual of a Whitehead group is a test group for Whitehead groups. This turns out to be equivalent to the question of when the tensor product of two Whitehead groups is Whitehead. We investigate what happens in different models of set theory.
