For a commutative Hopf algebra A over Z/p, where p is a prime integer, we define the Steenrod operations P i in cyclic cohomology of A using a tensor product of a free resolution of the symmetric group S n and the standard resolution of the algebra A over the cyclic category according to Loday (1992). We also compute some of these operations. 1. Introduction. For any prime p, the mod p Steenrod...

In a previous work [AS2] we showed how to attach to a pointed Hopf algebra A with coradical kΓ, a braided strictly graded Hopf algebra R in the category Γ Γ YD of Yetter-Drinfeld modules over Γ. In this paper, we consider a further invariant of A, namely the subalgebra R of R generated by the space V of primitive elements. Algebras of this kind are known since the pioneering work of Nichols. It...

We study prime algebras of quadratic growth. Our first result is that if A is a prime monomial algebra of quadratic growth then A has finitely many prime ideals P such that A/P has GK dimension one. This shows that prime monomial algebras of quadratic growth have bounded matrix images. We next show that a prime graded algebra of quadratic growth has the property that the intersection of the non...

Let X be a finite, n-dimensional, r-connected CW complex. We prove the following theorem: If p ≥ n/r is an odd prime, then the loop space homology Bockstein spectral sequence modulo p is a spectral sequence of universal enveloping algebras over differential graded Lie algebras.

We study the p-adic behavior of Jacobi sums for Q(ζp) and link this study to the p-Sylow subgroup of the class group of Q(ζp) + and to some properties of the jacobian of the Fermat curve Xp + Y p = 1 over Fl where l is a prime number distinct from p. Let p be a prime number, p ≥ 5. Iwasawa has shown that the p-adic properties of Jacobi sums for Q(ζp) are linked to Vandiver’s Conjecture (see [5]...

We deal with classes of prime ideals whose associated graded ring is isomorphic to the Rees algebra of the conormal module in order to describe the divisor class group of the Rees algebra and to examine the normality of the conormal module.

We investigate a class of algebras that provides multiparameter versions of both quantum symplectic space and quantum Euclidean 2n-space. These algebras encompass the graded quantized Weyl algebras, the quantized Heisenberg space, and a class of algebras introduced by Oh. We describe the structure of the prime and primitive ideals of these algebras. Other structural results include normal separ...

The complete generalized cycle G(d, n) is the digraph which has Zn × Zd as the vertex set and every vertex (i, x) is adjacent to the d vertices (i + 1, y) with y ∈ Zd . As a main result, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the iterated line digraph G(d, n, k) = Lk−1G(d, n), with d a prime number, to be a Cayley digraph in terms of the existence of a group0d of order d and a subgrou...

It is proved that if R is a valuation domain with maximal ideal P and if RL is countably generated for each prime ideal L, then R R is separable if and only RJ is maximal, where J = ∩n∈NP . When R is a valuation domain satisfying one of the following two conditions: (1) R is almost maximal and its quotient field Q is countably generated (2) R is archimedean Franzen proved in [2] that R is separ...

Let X be a finite, n-dimensional, r-connected CW complex. We prove the following theorem: If p ≥ n/r is an odd prime, then the loop space homology Bockstein spectral sequence modulo p is a spectral sequence of universal enveloping algebras over differential graded Lie algebras.
