In this paper we determine the left ideals in the near-ring Aff(V) of all affine transformations of a vector space V. It is shown that there is a Galois correspondence between the filters of affine subspaces of V and those left ideals of Aff(V) which are not left invariant. In particular, the not left invariant finitely generated left ideals of Aff(V) are precisely the annihilators of the affine subspaces of V. A similar correspondence exists between the filters of linear subspaces of V and the left invariant left ideals of Aff (V). If V is finite-dimensional, then all left ideals of Aff(V) are finitely generated.

Abstract Sum and intersection of linear subspaces in a vector space over a field are fundamental operations in linear algebra. The purpose of this survey paper is to give a comprehensive approach to the sums and intersections of two linear subspaces and their orthogonal complements in the finite-dimensional complex vector space. We shall establish a variety of closed-form formulas for representing the direct sum decompositions of the m-dimensional complex column vector space 𝔺m with respect to a pair of given linear subspaces 𝒨 and 𝒩 and their operations, and use them to derive a huge amount of decomposition identities for matrix expressions composed by a pair of orthogonal projectors onto the linear subspaces. As applications, we give matrix representation for the orthogonal projectors onto the intersections of a pair of linear subspaces using various matrix decomposition identities and Moore–Penrose inverses; necessary and su˚cient conditions for two linear subspaces to be in generic position; characterization of the commutativity of a pair of orthogonal projectors; necessary and su˚cient conditions for equalities and inequalities for a pair of subspaces to hold; equalities and inequalities for norms of a pair of orthogonal projectors and their operations; as well as a collection of characterizations of EP-matrix.

Let D be a division ring with the center F and suppose that D* is the multiplicative group of D. D is called centrally finite if D is a finite dimensional vector space over F and D is locally centrally finite if every finite subset of D generates over F a division subring which is a finite dimensional vector space over F. We say that D is a linear division ring if every finite subset of D generates over Fa centrally finite division subring. It is obvious that every locally centrally finite division ring is linear. In this report we show that the inverse is not true by giving an example of a linear division ring which is not locally centrally finite. Further, we give some properties of subgroups in linear division rings. In particular, we show that every finitely generated subnormal subgroup in a linear ring is central. An interesting corollary is obtained as the following: If D is a linear division ring and D* is finitely generated, then D is a finite field.

Let $X$ be a solenoid, i.e. a compact, finite-dimensional, connected abelian group with normalized Haar measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$, and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\rightarrow \operatorname{Aff}(X)$ be an action of a countable discrete group $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ by continuous affine transformations of $X$. We show that the probability measure preserving action $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\curvearrowright (X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$ does not have the spectral gap property if and only if there exists a $p_{\text{a}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4})$-invariant proper subsolenoid $Y$ of $X$ such that the image of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ in $\operatorname{Aff}(X/Y)$ is a virtually solvable group, where $p_{\text{a}}:\operatorname{Aff}(X)\rightarrow \operatorname{Aut}(X)$ is the canonical projection. When $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ is finitely generated or when $X$ is the $a$-adic solenoid for an integer $a\geq 1$, the subsolenoid $Y$ can be chosen so that the image $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ in $\operatorname{Aff}(X/Y)$ is a virtually abelian group. In particular, an action $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\curvearrowright (X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$ by affine transformations on a solenoid $X$ has the spectral gap property if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\curvearrowright (X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$ is strongly ergodic.

AbstractLet K be a field, E the exterior algebra of a finite dimensional K-vector space, and F a finitely generated graded free E-module with homogeneous basis g1, . . ., gr such that deg g1 ≤ deg g2 ≤ · · · ≤ deg gr. We characterize the Hilbert functions of graded E–modules of the type F/M, with M graded submodule of F. The existence of a unique lexicographic submodule of F with the same Hilbert function as M plays a crucial role.

It is shown that, for any field $\mathbb{F}\subseteq \mathbb{R}$, any ordered vector space structure of $\mathbb{F}^{n}$ with Riesz interpolation is given by an inductive limit of a sequence with finite stages $(\mathbb{F}^{n},\mathbb{F}_{\geq 0}^{n})$ (where $n$ does not change). This relates to a conjecture of Effros and Shen, since disproven, which is given by the same statement, except with $\mathbb{F}$ replaced by the integers, $\mathbb{Z}$. Indeed, it shows that although Effros and Shen’s conjecture is false, it is true after tensoring with $\mathbb{Q}$.

Let R be a ring. Modules satisfying ascending or descending chain conditions (respectively, acc and dcc) on non-summand submodules belongs to some particular classes [Formula: see text], such as the class of all R-modules, finitely generated, finite-dimensional and cyclic modules, are considered. It is proved that a module M satisfies acc (respectively, dcc) on non-summands if and only if M is semisimple or Noetherian (respectively, Artinian). Over a right Noetherian ring R, a right R-module M satisfies acc on finitely generated non-summands if and only if M satisfies acc on non-summands; a right R-module M satisfies dcc on finitely generated non-summands if and only if M is locally Artinian. Moreover, if a ring R satisfies dcc on cyclic non-summand right ideals, then R is a semiregular ring such that the Jacobson radical J is left t-nilpotent.

IfMis a mathematical system and EndMis the set of singular endomorphisms ofM, then EndMforms a semigroup under composition of mappings. A number of papers have been written to determine the subsemigroupSMof EndMgenerated by the idempotentsEMof EndMfor different systemsM. The first of these was by J. M. Howie [4]; here the case ofMbeing an unstructured setXwas considered. Howie showed that ifXis finite, then EndX=Sx.

For a group [Formula: see text] and a set [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the monoid of all cellular automata over [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] be its group of units. By establishing a characterization of surjunctive groups in terms of the monoid [Formula: see text], we prove that the rank of [Formula: see text] (i.e. the smallest cardinality of a generating set) is equal to the rank of [Formula: see text] plus the relative rank of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], and that the latter is infinite when [Formula: see text] has an infinite decreasing chain of normal subgroups of finite index, condition which is satisfied, for example, for any infinite residually finite group. Moreover, when [Formula: see text] is a vector space over a field [Formula: see text], we study the monoid [Formula: see text] of all linear cellular automata over [Formula: see text] and its group of units [Formula: see text]. We show that if [Formula: see text] is an indicable group and [Formula: see text] is finite-dimensional, then [Formula: see text] is not finitely generated; however, for any finitely generated indicable group [Formula: see text], the group [Formula: see text] is finitely generated if and only if [Formula: see text] is finite.

We investigate the representations of the hyperalgebras associated to the map algebras [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is any finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra and [Formula: see text] is any associative commutative unitary algebra with a multiplicatively closed basis. We consider the natural definition of the local and global Weyl modules, and the Weyl functor for these algebras. Under certain conditions, we prove that these modules satisfy certain universal properties, and we also give conditions for the local or global Weyl modules to be finite-dimensional or finitely generated, respectively.
