We construct a unital locally matrix algebra of uncountable dimension that (1) does not admit a primary decomposition, (2) has an infinite locally finite Steinitz number. It gives negative answers to questions from [V. M. Kurochkin, On the theory of locally simple and locally normal algebras, Mat. Sb., Nov. Ser. 22(64)(3) (1948) 443–454; O. Bezushchak and B. Oliynyk, Unital locally matrix algebras and Steinitz numbers, J. Algebra Appl. (2020), online ready]. We also show that for an arbitrary infinite Steinitz number [Formula: see text] there exists a unital locally matrix algebra [Formula: see text] having the Steinitz number [Formula: see text] and not isomorphic to a tensor product of finite-dimensional matrix algebras.

AbstractLet G be a cyclic group of prime order p and K a field of characteristic p. The set of classes of isomorphic indecomposable (K, G)-modules forms a basis over the complex field for an algebra p (Green, 1962) with addition and multiplication being derived from direct sum and tensor product operations.Algebras n with similar properties can be defined for all n ≥ 2. Each such algebra is isomorphic to a matrix algebra Mn of n × n matrices with complex entries and standard operations. The characters of elements of n are the eigenvalues of the corresponding matrices in Mn.

The present paper is devoted to 2-local derivations. In 1997, P. Semrl introduced the notion of 2-local derivations and described 2-local derivations on the algebra B(H) of all bounded linear operators on the infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space H. After this, a number of paper were devoted to 2-local maps on different types of rings, algebras, Banach algebras and Banach spaces. A similar description for the finite-dimensional case appeared later in the paper of S. O. Kim and J. S. Kim. Y. Lin and T. Wong described 2-local derivations on matrix algebras over a finite-dimensional division ring. Sh. A. Ayupov and K. K. Kudaybergenov suggested a new technique and have generalized the above mentioned results for arbitrary Hilbert spaces. Namely they considered 2-local derivations on the algebra B(H) of all linear bounded operators on an arbitrary Hilbert space H and proved that every 2-local derivation on B(H) is a derivation. Then there appeared several papers dealing with 2-local derivations on associative algebras. In the present paper 2-lo\-cal derivations on various algebras of infinite dimensional matrix-valued functions on a compactum are described. We develop an algebraic approach to investigation of derivations and \mbox{2-local} derivations on algebras of infinite dimensional matrix-valued functions on a compactum and prove that every such 2-local derivation is a derivation. As the main result of the paper it is established that every \mbox{2-local} derivation on a ∗-algebra C(Q,Mn(F)) or C(Q,Nn(F)), where Q is a compactum, Mn(F) is the ∗-algebra of infinite dimensional matrices over complex numbers (real numbers or quaternoins) defined in section 1, Nn(F) is the ∗-subalgebra of Mn(F) defined in section 2, is a derivation. Also we explain that the method developed in the paper can be applied to Jordan and Lie algebras of infinite dimensional matrix-valued functions on a compactum.

An [Formula: see text]-algebra [Formula: see text] with unit [Formula: see text] is said to be a locally matrix algebra if an arbitrary finite collection of elements [Formula: see text] from [Formula: see text] lies in a subalgebra [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] of the algebra [Formula: see text], that is isomorphic to a matrix algebra [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. To an arbitrary unital locally matrix algebra [Formula: see text], we assign a Steinitz number [Formula: see text] and study a relationship between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

AbstractLet Φ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, G a finite, not necessarily abelian, group. Given a G-grading on the full matrix algebra A = Mn(Φ), we decompose A as the tensor product of graded subalgebras A = B ⊗ C, B ≅ Mp(Φ) being a graded division algebra, while the grading of C ≅ Mq(Φ) is determined by that of the vector space Φn. Now the grading of A is recovered from those of A and B using a canonical “induction” procedure.

Abstract This is a general study of twisted Calabi–Yau algebras that are $\mathbb {N}$ -graded and locally finite-dimensional, with the following major results. We prove that a locally finite graded algebra is twisted Calabi–Yau if and only if it is separable modulo its graded radical and satisfies one of several suitable generalizations of the Artin–Schelter regularity property, adapted from the work of Martinez-Villa as well as Minamoto and Mori. We characterize twisted Calabi–Yau algebras of dimension 0 as separable k-algebras, and we similarly characterize graded twisted Calabi–Yau algebras of dimension 1 as tensor algebras of certain invertible bimodules over separable algebras. Finally, we prove that a graded twisted Calabi–Yau algebra of dimension 2 is noetherian if and only if it has finite GK dimension.

A C*-algebra A is said to be approximately finite dimensional (AF) if it is the inductive limit of a sequence of finite dimensional C*-algebras(see [2], [5]). It is said to be nuclear if, for each C*-algebra B, there is a unique C*-norm on the *-algebraic tensor product A ⊗B [11]. Since finite dimensional C*-algebras are nuclear, and inductive limits of nuclear C*-algebras are nuclear [16];,every AF C*-algebra is nuclear. The family of nuclear C*-algebras is a large and well-behaved class (see [12]). The AF C*-algebras for a particularly tractable sub-class which has been completely classified in terms of the invariant K0 [7], [5].

According to the holographic bound, there is only a finite density of degrees of freedom in space when gravity is taken into account. Conventional quantum field theory does not conform to this bound, since in this framework, infinitely many degrees of freedom may be localized to any given region of space. In this paper, we explore the viewpoint that quantum field theory may emerge from an underlying theory that is locally finite-dimensional, and we construct a locally finite-dimensional version of a Klein–Gordon scalar field using generalized Clifford algebras. Demanding that the finite-dimensional field operators obey a suitable version of the canonical commutation relations makes this construction essentially unique. We then find that enforcing local finite dimensionality in a holographically consistent way leads to a huge suppression of the quantum contribution to vacuum energy, to the point that the theoretical prediction becomes plausibly consistent with observations.
