Let G be an associative monomial k-algebra. If G is assumed to be finitely presented, then either G contains a free subalgebra on two monomials or else G has polynomial growth. If instead G is assumed to have finite global dimension, then either G contains a free subalgebra or else G has a finite presentation and polynomial growth. Also, a graded Hopf algebra with generators in degree one and r...

Let g be a reductive Lie algebra over C. We say that a g-module M is a generalized Harish-Chandra module if, for some subalgebra k ⊂ g, M is locally k-finite and has finite k-multiplicities. We believe that the problem of classifying all irreducible generalized Harish-Chandra modules could be tractable. In this paper, we review the recent success with the case when k is a Cartan subalgebra. We ...

We study the fixed point subalgebra of a certain class of lattice vertex operator algebras by an automorphism of order 3, which is a lift of a fixed-point-free isometry of the underlying lattice. We classify the irreducible modules for the subalgebra. Moreover, the rationality and the C2-cofiniteness of the subalgebra are established. Our result contains the case of the vertex operator algebra ...
