We consider the check of the involutive basis property in a polynomial context. In order to show that a finite generating set F of a polynomial ideal I is an involutive basis one must confirm two properties. Firstly, the set of leading terms of the elements of F has to be complete. Secondly, one has to prove that F is a Gröbner basis of I. The latter is the time critical part but can be acceler...

In this note we describe a seemingly new approach to the complex representation theory of the wreath product G o Sd where G is a finite abelian group. The approach is motivated by an appropriate version of Schur-Weyl duality. We construct a combinatorially defined groupoid in which all endomorphism algebras are direct products of symmetric groups and prove that the groupoid algebra is isomorphi...

The differential calculus based on the derivations of an associative algebra underlies most of the noncommutative field theories considered so far. We review the essential properties of this framework and the main features of noncommutative connections in the case of non graded associative unital algebras with involution. We extend this framework to the case of Z2-graded unital involutive algeb...

In this paper we consider an algorithmic technique more general than that proposed by Zharkov and Blinkov for the involutive analysis of polynomial ideals. It is based on a new concept of involutive monomial division which is defined for a monomial set. Such a division provides for each monomial the self-consistent separation of the whole set of variables into two disjoint subsets. They are cal...

The determination of cyclic (co)homology of a given algebra is a quite important and difficult problem. Let us briefly recall some of the results obtained that are somehow related to our paper. The cyclic homology of group algebras over fields of characteristic 0 was computed by Burghelea, [3]. For a complete algebraic proof of Burghelea’s result the reader is referred to [19], while a relative...

Classes of non-Hermitian operators that have only real eigenvalues are presented. Such operators appear in quantum mechanics and are expressed in terms of the generators of the Weyl-Heisenberg algebra. For each non-Hermitian operator A, a Hermitian involutive operator Ĵ such that A is Ĵ-Hermitian, that is, ĴA = AĴ , is found. Moreover, we construct a positive definite Hermitian Q such that A is...

Examples are given of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators which have a real spectrum. Some of the investigated operators are expressed in terms of the generators of the Weil-Heisenberg algebra. It is argued that the existence of an involutive operator Ĵ which renders the Hamiltonian Ĵ-Hermitian leads to the unambiguous definition of an associated positive definite norm allowing for the standard...

For small involutive and integral quantaloids Q it is shown that covariant presheaves on symmetric Q-categories are equivalent to certain subalgebras of a speci c monad on the category of symmetric Q-categories. This construction is related to a weakening of the subobject classi er axiom which does not require the classi cation of all subalgebras, but only guarantees that classi able subalgebra...
