The purpose of this paper is to describe structural properties of automata whose transition semigroups have a zero, left zero, right zero or bi-zero, or are nilpotent extensions of rectangular bands, left zero bands or right zero bands, or are nilpotent. To describe the structure of these automata we use various well-known decomposition methods of automata theory – direct sum decompositions, su...

The local, covariant, continuous and off-shell (as well as on-shell) nilpotent (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations are derived for a one (0+1)-dimensional free scalar relativistic particle in the framework of superfield formalism. The trajectory (i.e. the worldline) of the free particle, parametrized by a monotonically varying evolution parameter τ , is embedded in aD-dimensional flat Minkowsk...

In this paper, we classify the indecomposable non-nilpotent solvable Lie algebras with $N(R_n,m,r)$ nilradical,by using the derivation algebra and the automorphism group of $N(R_n,m,r)$.We also prove that these solvable Lie algebras are complete and unique, up to isomorphism.

In this paper we investigate extensions of Gödel and Nilpotent Minimum logics by adding rational truth-values as truth constants in the language and by adding corresponding book-keeping axioms for the truth-constants. We also investigate the rational extensions of some parametric families of Weak Nilpotent Minimum logics, weaker than both Gödel and Nilpotent Minimum logics. Weak and strong stan...

In this paper and its sequel we continue our study of nilpotent symplectic alternating algebras. In particular we give a full classification of such algebras of dimension 10 over any field. It is known that symplectic alternating algebras over GF(3) correspond to a special rich class C of 2-Engel 3-groups of exponent 27 and under this correspondance we will see that the nilpotent algebras corre...

We develop a method of creating skew congruences on subpowers of finite algebras using groups of twin polynomials, and apply it to the investigation of residually small varieties generated by nilpotent algebras. We prove that a residually small variety generated by a finite nilpotent (in particular, a solvable Eminimal) algebra is weakly abelian. Conversely, we show in two special cases that a ...

A matrix M is nilpotent of index 2 if M = 0. Let V be a space of nilpotent n × n matrices of index 2 over a field k where card k > n and suppose that r is the maximum rank of any matrix in V . The object of this paper is to give an elementary proof of the fact that dim V ≤ r(n−r). We show that the inequality is sharp and construct all such subspaces of maximum dimension. We use the result to fi...

We consider a reductive dual pair (G,G′) in the stable range with G′ the smaller member and of Hermitian symmetric type. We study the theta lifting of nilpotent K ′ C-orbits, where K ′ is a maximal compact subgroup of G′ and we describe the precise KC-module structure of the regular function ring of the closure of the lifted nilpotent orbit of the symmetric pair (G,K). As an application, we pro...

The integral representation algebra A(RG) is C ®z a(RG). When does a(RG) contain nontrivial nilpotent elements? Let | G\ = pn, where p\n, p prime. Denote by Zp the £-adic valuation ring in Q, and by Zp* its completion. Reiner has shown (i) If a = l , then A(ZPG) and A(Z*G) have no nonzero nilpotent elements (see [ l ] ) . (ii) If ce^2, and G has an element of order p, then both A(ZPG) and A{Z*G...

We study the orbits of G = GL(V ) in the enhanced nilpotent cone V ×N , where N is the variety of nilpotent endomorphisms of V . These orbits are parametrized by bipartitions of n = dimV , and we prove that the closure ordering corresponds to a natural partial order on bipartitions. Moreover, we prove that the local intersection cohomology of the orbit closures is given by certain bipartition a...
