چکیده
Let G be a finite group acting by automorphism on a lattice A, and hence on the group algebra S = k[A]. The algebra of G-invariants in S is called an algebra of multiplicative invariants. We investigate when algebras of multiplicative invariants are semigroup algebras. In particular, we present an explicit version of a result of Farkas stating that multiplicative invariants of finite reflection groups are indeed semigroup algebras. On the other hand, multiplicative invariants arising from fixed point free actions are shown to never be semigroup algebras. In particular, this holds whenever G has odd prime order.

متن کاملB(h) Is a Free Semigroup Algebra
We provide a simplified version of a construction of Charles Read. For any n ≥ 2, there are n isometries with orthogonal ranges with the property that the nonself-adjoint weak-∗-closed algebra that they generate is all of B(H). A free semigroup algebra is the weak operator topology closed algebra generated by an n-tuple of isometries with pairwise orthogonal ranges. The C*-algebra generated by ...
متن کاملFree Semigroup Algebras a Survey
Free semigroup algebras are wot-closed algebras generated by n isometries with pairwise orthogonal ranges. They were introduced in [27] as an interesting class of operator algebras in their own right. The prototype algebra, obtained from the left regular representation of the free semigroup on n letters, was introduced by Popescu [45] in connection with multi-variable non-commutative dilation t...

−→ (Ak, φk) and the operator algebras A = lim −→ (Ak, φk) obtained as limits of direct sums of matrix algebras over E with respect to star-extendible homomorphisms. The invariants in the algebraic case consist of an additive semigroup, with scale, which is a right module for the semiring VE = Homu(E⊗K, E⊗K) of unitary equivalence classes of star-extendible homomorphisms. This semigroup is refer...
متن کاملThe Structure of Free Semigroup Algebras
A free semigroup algebra is the wot-closed algebra generated by an n-tuple of isometries with pairwise orthogonal ranges. The interest in these algebras arises primarily from two of their interesting features. The first is that they provide useful information about unitary invariants of representations of the Cuntz–Toeplitz algebras. The second is that they form a class of nonself-adjoint opera...
