AbstractWe study maximal associative subalgebras of an arbitrary finite-dimensional associative algebra B over a field {\mathbb{K}} and obtain full classification/description results of such algebras. This is done by first obtaining a complete classification in the semisimple case and then lifting to non-semisimple algebras. The results are sharpest in the case of algebraically closed fields and take special forms for algebras presented by quivers with relations. We also relate representation theoretic properties of the algebra and its maximal and other subalgebras and provide a series of embeddings between quivers, incidence algebras and other structures which relate indecomposable representations of algebras and some subalgebras via induction/restriction functors. Some results in literature are also re-derived as a particular case, and other applications are given.

AbstractA module over a finite-dimensional algebra is called a ‘diamond’ if it has a simple top and a simple socle. Using covering theory, the classification of all diamonds for algebras of finite representation type over algebraically closed fields can be reduced to representation-directed algebras. The author proves a criterion referring to the positive roots of the corresponding Tits quadratic form, which makes it easy to check whether a representation-directed algebra has a faithful diamond. Using an implementation of this criterion in the CREP program system on representation theory, he is able to classify all exceptional representation-directed algebras having a faithful diamond. He obtains a list of 157 algebras up to isomorphism and duality. The 52 maximal members of this list are presented at the end of this paper.

1. Introduction. The Nullstellensatz in commutative algebraic geometry may be described as a means of studying certain commutative rings (viz. affine algebras) by their homomorphisms into algebraically closed fields, and a number of attempts have been made to extend the result to the non-commutative case. In particular, Amitsur and Procesi have studied the case of general rings, with homomorphisms into matrix rings over commutative fields ((1), (2)) and Procesi has obtained more precise results for homomorphisms of PI-rings (11). Since a finite-dimensional division algebra can always be embedded in a matrix ring over a field, this includes the case of skew fields that are finite-dimensional over their centre, but it tells us nothing about general skew fields.

In this paper, we study the finite representation theory of the map Lie conformal algebra [Formula: see text], where G is a finite simple Lie conformal algebra and A is a commutative associative algebra with unity over [Formula: see text]. In particular, we give a complete classification of nontrivial finite irreducible conformal modules of [Formula: see text] provided A is finite-dimensional.

AbstractThe problem of finding generators of the subalgebra of invariants under the action of a group of automorphisms of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra on its universal enveloping algebra is reduced to finding homogeneous generators of the same group acting on the symmetric tensor algebra of the Lie algebra. This process is applied to prove a constructive Hilbert–Nagata Theorem (including degree bounds) for the algebra of invariants in a Lie nilpotent relatively free associative algebra endowed with an action induced by a representation of a reductive group.
