For G a classical group of type Bn, Cn or Dn defined over an algebraically closed field (of characteristic other than two if G is a special orthogonal group), we show that the centralizer algebra of G on the space of endomorphisms of the module of traceless tensors Wr is naturally isomorphic to the group algebra of the symmetric group Sr if r[les ]n (for G of type Bn or Cn) or if r<n (for G of type Dn). This extends a characteristic zero result of Brauer and Weyl and recovers some of the related characteristic free results that De Concini and Strickland obtained for G of type Cn.

This paper contributes to the classification of finite dimensional Hopf algebras. It is shown that every Hopf algebra of dimension 30 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is semisimple and thus isomorphic to a group algebra or the dual of a group algebra.

AbstractLet F be an algebraically closed field, G be a finite group and H be a subgroup of G. We answer several questions about the centralizer algebra FGH. Among these, we provide examples to show that•the centre Z(FGH) can be larger than the F-algebra generated by Z(FG) and Z(FH),•FGH can have primitive central idempotents that are not of the form ef, where e and f are primitive central idempotents of FG and FH respectively,•it is not always true that the simple FGH-modules are the same as the non-zero FGH-modules HomFH(S, T ↓ H), where S and T are simple FH and FG-modules, respectively.

Let p and q be odd prime numbers. It is shown that all quasitriangular Hopf algebras of dimension pq over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero are semisimple and therefore isomorphic to a group algebra.

Puiseux Expansions

Letkbe any algebraically closed field, and denote byk((t)) the field of formal power series in one indeterminatetoverk. Letso thatKis the field of Puiseux expansions with coefficients ink(each element ofKis a formal power series intl/rfor some positive integerr). It is well-known thatKis algebraically closed if and only ifkis of characteristic zero [1, p. 61]. For examples relating to ramified extensions of fields with valuation [9, §6] it is useful to have a field analogous toKwhich is algebraically closed whenkhas non-zero characteristicp. In this paper, I prove that the setLof all formal power series of the form Σaitei(where (ei) is well-ordered,ei=mi|nprt,n∈ Ζ,mi∈ Ζ,ai∈k,ri∈ Ν) forms an algebraically closed field.

Almost All

Let f: V → C be a fibration from a smooth projective surface onto a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field k. In the case of characteristic zero, almost all fibres of f are nonsingular. In the case of positive characteristic, it is, however, known that there exist fibrations whose general fibres have singularities. Moreover, it seems that such fibrations often have pathological phenomena of algebraic geometry in positive characteristic (see M. Raynaud [7], W. Lang [4]).

Normal Varieties

In “Seminormal rings and weakly normal varieties” we introduced the notion of a c-regular function on an algebraic variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Our intention was to describe those k-valued functions on a variety X that become regular functions when lifted to the normalization of X, but without any reference to the normalization in the definition. That is, we aspired to identify the c-regular functions on X with the regular functions on the weak normalization of X

AbstractLet Mn be the algebra of n × n matrices over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. For A ∊ Mn, denote by the collection of all matrices in Mn that are similar to A. In this paper we characterize those invertible linear operators ϕ on Mn that satisfy , where for some given A1,..., Ak ∊ Mn and denotes the (Zariski) closure of S. Our theorem covers a result of Howard on linear operators mapping the set of matrices annihilated by a given polynomial into itself, and extends a result of Chan and Lim on linear operators commuting with the function f(x) = xk for a given positive integer k ≥ 2. The possibility of weakening the invertibility assumption in our theorem is considered, a partial answer to a conjecture of Howard is given, and some extensions of our result to arbitrary fields are discussed.
