Abstract The classical result, due to Jordan, Burnside, Dickson, says that every normal subgroup of GL ⁢ ( n , K ) \mathrm{GL}(n,K) , where 𝐾 is a field and n ≥ 3 n\geq 3 , which is not contained in the center contains SL ⁢ ( n , K ) \mathrm{SL}(n,K) . Rosenberg described the normal subgroups of GL ⁢ ( V ) \mathrm{GL}(V) , where 𝑉 is a vector space of any infinite cardinality dimension over a division ring. However, when he considers subgroups of the direct product of the center and the group of linear transformations 𝑔 such that g - id V g-\mathrm{id}_{V} has finite-dimensional range, the proof is incomplete. We fill this gap for countably dimensional 𝑉 giving description of the lattice of normal subgroups in the group of infinite column-finite matrices indexed by positive integers over any field.

AbstractThe surjective additive maps on the Lie ring of skew-Hermitian linear transformations on a finite-dimensional vector space over a division ring which preserve the set of rank 1 elements are determined. As an application, maps preserving commuting pairs of transformations are determined.

Let$V$be a vector space and let$T(V)$denote the semigroup (under composition) of all linear transformations from$V$into$V$. For a fixed subspace$W$of$V$, let$T(V,W)$be the semigroup consisting of all linear transformations from$V$into$W$. In 2008, Sullivan [‘Semigroups of linear transformations with restricted range’,Bull. Aust. Math. Soc.77(3) (2008), 441–453] proved that$$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle Q=\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in T(V,W):V\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\subseteq W\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\} & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$is the largest regular subsemigroup of$T(V,W)$and characterized Green’s relations on$T(V,W)$. In this paper, we determine all the maximal regular subsemigroups of$Q$when$W$is a finite-dimensional subspace of$V$over a finite field. Moreover, we compute the rank and idempotent rank of$Q$when$W$is an$n$-dimensional subspace of an$m$-dimensional vector space$V$over a finite field$F$.

In [6] we have constructed certain normal subgroups G7 of the elementary subgroup GR of the Chevalley group G(L, R) over R corresponding to a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra L over the complex field, where R is a commutative ring with identity. The method employed was to augment somewhat the generators of the elementary subgroup EI of G corresponding to an ideal I of the underlying Chevalley algebra LR;EI is thus the group generated by all xr(t) in G having the property that ter ⊂ I. In [6, § 5] we noted that in general EI actually had to be enlarged for a normal subgroup of GR to be obtained.

The study of linear functionals, as an important special case of linear transformations, is one of the key topics in linear algebra and plays a significant role in analysis. In this paper we generalize the crucial results from the classical theory and study main properties of linear functionals on hypervector spaces. In this way, we obtain the dual basis of a given basis for a finite-dimensional hypervector space. Moreover, we investigate the relation between linear functionals and subhyperspaces and conclude the dimension of the vector space of all linear functionals over a hypervector space, the dimension of sum of two subhyperspaces and the dimension of the annihilator of a subhyperspace, under special conditions. Also, we show that every superhyperspace is the kernel of a linear functional. Finally, we check out whether every basis for the vector space of all linear functionals over a hypervector space V is the dual of some basis for V.

This paper introduces the concept of lattice vector space and establishes many important results. Also, this paper deals with linear transformations on lattice vector spaces and discusses their elementary properties. We prove that every finite dimensional lattice vector space is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] and show that the set of all columns (or the set of all rows) of an invertible matrix over [Formula: see text] is a basis for [Formula: see text].

Let X be a set and the semigroup (under composition) of all total transformations from X into itself. In ([6], Theorem 3) Howie characterised those elements of that can be written as a product of idempotents in different from the identity. We gather from review articles that his work was later extended by Evseev and Podran [3, 4] (and independently for finite X by Sullivan [15]) to the semigroup of all partial transformations of X into itself. Howie's result was generalized in a different direction by Kim [8], and it has also been considered in both a topological and a totally ordered setting (see [11] and [14] for brief summaries of this latter work). In addition, Magill [10] investigated the corresponding idea for endomorphisms of a Boolean ring, while J. A. Erdos [2] resolved the analogous problem for linear transformations of a finite–dimensional vector space.

AbstractLet U be a finite dimensional vector space over an infinite field F. Let U(r) denote the r–th symmetric product space over U. Let T: U(r) → U(s) be a linear transformation which sends nonzero decomposable elements to nonzero decomposable elements. Let dim U ≥ s + 1. Then we obtain the structure of T for the following cases: (I) F is algebraically closed, (II) F is the real field, and (III) T is injective.

A Lie ideal of a division ring [Formula: see text] is an additive subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that the Lie product [Formula: see text] of any two elements [Formula: see text] is in [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. The main concern of this paper is to present some properties of Lie ideals of [Formula: see text] which may be interpreted as being dual to known properties of normal subgroups of [Formula: see text]. In particular, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a finite-dimensional division algebra with center [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], then any finitely generated [Formula: see text]-module Lie ideal of [Formula: see text] is central. We also show that the additive commutator subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is not a finitely generated [Formula: see text]-module. Some other results about maximal additive subgroups of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are also presented.

Let D be a division ring with center F. We say that D is a division ring of type 2 if for every two elements x, y ∈ D, the division subring F(x, y) is a finite dimensional vector space over F. In this paper we investigate multiplicative subgroups in such a ring.

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.
