Two questions on rings of strictly upper triangular matrices arising from B. Rose's work [5] are answered in this paper. An n × n matrix (αi, j) is strictly upper triangular if αi, j = 0 whenever i ≥ j. The ring of strictly upper triangular n × n matrices with entries from a field F will be denoted by Sn(F). Throughout this paper n will be an integer greater than 2. B. Rose [5] has shown that the complete theory of Sn(F) for an algebraically closed field F is ℵ1categorical. The first main result of this paper is that the rings Sn(F) and Sn(K) for fields F and K are isomorphic or elementarily equivalent if and only if F and K are isomorphic or elementarily equivalent, respectively (Corollary 1.6 and Theorem 2.2). This result shortens the proof of B. Rose's categoricity theorem [5, Theorem 7] by avoiding the co-stability considerations; furthermore, this result yields a proof of the converse of this categoricity theorem. The second main result is that the theory of rings of strictly upper triangular n × n matrices over algebraically closed fields is the model-completion of the theory of rings of strictly upper triangular n × n matrices over arbitrary fields (Theorem 2.5). This answers affirmatively the two conjectures at the end of [5].

Let UTn be the algebra of n × n upper-triangular matrices over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We describe all G-gradings on UTn by a finite abelian group G commuting with an involution (involution gradings).

Upper Triangular Matrix Ring

Let $T_{n}(R)$ be the upper triangular matrix ring over a unital commutative ring whose characteristic is not a divisor of $m$. Suppose that $f:T_{n}(R)\rightarrow T_{n}(R)$ is an additive map such that $X^{m}f(X)=f(X)X^{m}$ for all $x \in T_{n}(R),$ where $m\geq 1$ is an integer. We consider the problem of describing the form of the map $X \rightarrow f(X)$.

AbstractIt is shown that no functor F exists from the category of sets with injections, to the category of algebraically closed fields of given characteristic, with monomorphisms, having the properties that for all sets A. F(A) is an algebraically closed field having transcendence base A and for all injections f. F(f) extends f. There does exist such a functor from the category of linearly-ordered sets with order monomorphisms.An application to model-theory using the same methods is given showing that while the theory of algebraically closed fields is ω-stable, its Skolemization is not stable in any power.

Kirillov Dimension

In this paper, we consider associative P.I. algebras over a field F of characteristic 0, graded by a finite group G. More precisely, we define the G-graded Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of a G-graded P.I. algebra. We find a basis of the relatively free graded algebras of the upper triangular matrices UTn(F) and UTn(E), with entries in F and in the infinite-dimensional Grassmann algebra, respectively. As a consequence, we compute their graded Gelfand–Kirillov dimension with respect to the natural gradings defined over these algebras. We obtain similar results for the upper triangular matrix algebra UTa, b(E) = UTa+b(E)∩Ma, b(E) with respect to its natural ℤa+b × ℤ2-grading. Finally, we compute the ℤn-graded Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of Mn(F) in some particular cases and with different methods.

We give an LU-decomposition of the supercharacter table of the group of n × n unipotent upper triangular matrices over 𝔽q, into a lower-triangular matrix with entries in ℤ[q] and an upper-triangular matrix with entries in ℤ[q-1]. To this end, we introduce a q deformation of a new power-sum basis of the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions in noncommuting variables. The decomposition is obtained from the transition matrices between the supercharacter basis, the q-power-sum basis and the superclass basis. This is similar to the decomposition of the character table of the symmetric group Sn given by the transition matrices between Schur functions, monomials and power-sums. We deduce some combinatorial results associated to this decomposition. In particular, we compute the determinant of the supercharacter table.

Abstract Let R be a subset of a unital ring Q such that 0 ∈ R. Let us fix an element t ∈ Q. If R is a (t; d)-free subset of Q, then Tn(R) is a (t′; d)-free subset of Tn(Q), where t′ ∈ Tn(Q), $\begin{array}{} t_{ll}' \end{array} $ = t, l = 1, 2, …, n, for any n ∈ N.
