2 J ul 2 00 2 REPRESENTATIONS OF ALGEBRAS AS UNIVERSAL LOCALIZATIONS

چکیده
Given a presentation of a finitely presented group, there is a natural way to represent the group as the fundamental group of a 2-complex. The first part of this paper demonstrates one possible way to represent a finitely presented algebra S in a similarly compact form. From a presentation of the algebra, we construct a quiver with relations whose path algebra is finite dimensional. When we adjoin inverses to some of the arrows in the quiver, we show that the path algebra of the new quiver with relations is Mn(S) where n is the number of vertices in our quiver. The slogan would be that every finitely presented algebra is Morita equivalent to a universal localization of a finite dimensional algebra. Two applications of this are then considered. Firstly, given a ring homomorphism A → B, we say that B is stably flat over A if and only if Tori (B,B) = 0 for all i > 0. In a recent paper [2], the first two authors show that there is a long exact sequence in algebraic K-theory associated to a universal localization provided the localization is stably flat. Given a finitely presented algebra S we construct in Section 1 a finite dimensional algebra A with a universal localization σ−1A = Mn(S) (Theorem 1.1), such that A has global dimension 6 2 (Proposition 1.2). For a stably flat universal localization A → σ−1A the global dimensions are such that g.d.(σ−1A) 6 g.d.(A)

Multidimensional contractions of irreducible representations of the Cayley–Klein orthogonal algebras in Gel'fand–Zetlin basis are considered. Contracted over different parameters, algebras can turn out to be iso-morphic. In this case method of transitions describes the same reducible representations in different basises, say discrete and continuons ones.
متن کاملUniversal Central Extension of Current Superalgebras
Representation as well as central extension are two of the most important concepts in the theory of Lie (super)algebras. Apart from the interest of mathematicians, the attention of physicist are also drawn to these two subjects because of the significant amount of their applications in Physics. In fact for physicists, the study of projective representations of Lie (super)algebras are very impo...
