Radical decompositions of semiheaps

چکیده
Semiheaps are ternary generalisations of involuted semigroups. The first kind of semiheaps studied were heaps, which correspond closely to groups. We apply the radical theory of varieties of idempotent algebras to varieties of idempotent semiheaps. The class of heaps is shown to be a radical class, as are two larger classes having no involuted semigroup counterparts. Radical decompositions of various classes of idempotent semiheaps are given. The results are applied to involuted I-semigroups, leading to a radical-theoretic interpretation of the largest idempotent-separating congruence.

Infinite-dimensional versions of the primary, cyclic and Jordan decompositions
The famous primary and cyclic decomposition theorems along with the tightly related rational and Jordan canonical forms are extended to linear spaces of infinite dimensions with counterexamples showing the scope of extensions.
متن کاملRadical embodiment : neural dynamics and consciousness
Embodiment and situatedness are now common themes in cognitive science1. Recently, Andy Clark drew attention to three controversial ‘radical embodiment’propositions often found in current research2: (1) understanding the complex interplay of brain, body and world requires the tools and methods of nonlinear dynamical systems theory; (2) traditional notions of representation and computation are i...
متن کاملInequalities for Hilbert Functions and Primary Decompositions
Upper bounds are found for the characteristic function of a homogeneous polynomial ideal I; such estimates were previously known only for a radical ideal I. An analog of the first Bertini theorem for primary decompositions is formulated and proved. Also, a new representation for primary ideals and modules is introduced and used, which is convenient from an algorithmic point of view.
متن کاملDECOMPOSING p-GROUPS VIA JORDAN ALGEBRAS
For finite p-groups P of class 2 and exponent p the following are invariants of fully refined central decompositions of P : the number of members in the decomposition, the multiset of orders of the members, and the multiset of orders of their centers. Unlike for direct product decompositions, AutP is not always transitive on the set of fully refined central decompositions, and the number of orb...
متن کاملAddendum to: "Infinite-dimensional versions of the primary, cyclic and Jordan decompositions", by M. Radjabalipour
In his paper mentioned in the title, which appears in the same issue of this journal, Mehdi Radjabalipour derives the cyclic decomposition of an algebraic linear transformation. A more general structure theory for linear transformations appears in Irving Kaplansky's lovely 1954 book on infinite abelian groups. We present a translation of Kaplansky's results for abelian groups into the terminolo...
