Geometric Lattices

It is a classical result of mathematics that there is an intimate connection between linear algebra and projective or affine geometry. Thus, many algebraic results can be given a geometric interpretation, and geometric theorems can quite often be proved more easily by algebraic methods. In this paper we apply topological ideas to geometric lattices, structures which provide the framework for the study of abstract linear independence, and obtain affine geometry from the mappings that preserve the closure operator that is associated with these lattices. These mappings are closely connected with semi-linear transformations on a vector space, and thus linear algebra and affine geometry are derived from the study of a certain closure operator and mappings which preserve it, even if the “space” is finite.

Special Case

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.

A classical result of Zelinsky states that every linear transformation on a vector space V, except when V is one-dimensional over ℤ2, is a sum of two invertible linear transformations. We extend this result to any right self-injective ring R by proving that every element of R is a sum of two units if no factor ring of R is isomorphic to ℤ2.

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.

Pass Through

The paper presents a geometric theory of multidimensional interpolation based on invariants of affine geometry. The analytical description of geometric interpolants is performed within the framework of the mathematical apparatus BN-calculation using algebraic curves that pass through preset points. A geometric interpretation of the interaction of parameters, factors, and the response function is presented, which makes it possible to generalize the geometric theory of multidimensional interpolation in the direction of increasing the dimension of space. The conceptual principles of forming the tree of the geometric interpolant model as a geometric basis for modeling multi-factor processes and phenomena are described.

Roll Back

Abstract In this study, we look at student perceptions of a first course in linear algebra, focusing on two specific aspects. The first is the statement by Carlson that a fog rolls in once abstract notions such as subspaces, span and linear independence are introduced, while the second investigates statements made by several authors regarding the negative emotions that students can experience during the course. An attempt is made to mitigate this through mediation to include a significant number of applications, while continually dwelling on the key concepts of the subject throughout the semester. The results show that students agree with Carlson’s statement, with the concept of a subspace causing particular difficulty. However, the research does not reveal the negative emotions alluded to by other researchers. The students note the importance of grasping the key concepts and are strongly in favour of using practical applications to demonstrate the utility of the theory.

In this paper we consider the characterisation of those elements of a transformation semigroup S which are a product of two proper idempotents. We give a characterisation where S is the endomorphism monoid of a strong independence algebra A, and apply this to the cases where A is an arbitrary set and where A is an arbitrary vector space. The results emphasise the analogy between the idempotent generated subsemigroups of the full transformation semigroup of a set and of the semigroup of linear transformations from a vector space to itself.

Promotion and evacuation are bijections on the set of linear extensions of a finite poset first defined by Schützenberger. This paper surveys the basic properties of these two operations and discusses some generalizations. Linear extensions of a finite poset $P$ may be regarded as maximal chains in the lattice $J(P)$ of order ideals of $P$. The generalizations concern permutations of the maximal chains of a wider class of posets, or more generally bijective linear transformations on the vector space with basis consisting of the maximal chains of any poset. When the poset is the lattice of subspaces of ${\Bbb F}_q^n$, then the results can be stated in terms of the expansion of certain Hecke algebra products.

AbstractThis is the continuation of the paper “Transformations between Menger systems”. To define when two universal algebras with bases “are the same”, here we propose a universal notion of transformation that comes from a triple characterization concerning three representation facets: the determinations of theHence, this notion consists of three equivalent definitions. It characterizes another technical variant and also the universal version of the very semi-linear transformationsUniversal transformations allow us to check theContrary to present beliefs, even the foundation of abstract Linear Algebra turns out to be incomplete.
