Let R be a commutative ring, G a finite abelian group of order n and exponent m, and assume n is a unit in R. In [10], F. W. Long defined a generalized Brauer group, BD(R, G), of algebras with a G-action and G-grading, whose elements are equivalence classes of G-Azumaya algebras. In this paper we investigate the automorphisms of a G-Azumaya algebra A and prove that if Picm(R) is trivial, then these automorphisms are all, in some sense, inner.In fact, each of these “inner” automorphisms can be written as the composition of an inner automorphism in the usual sense and a “linear“ automorphism, i.e., an automorphism of the typewith r(σ) a unit in R. We then use these results to show that the group of gradings of the centre of a G-Azumaya algebra A is a direct summand of G, and thus if G is cyclic of order pr, A is the (smash) product of a commutative and a central G-Azumaya algebra.

Let G be a finite group of automorphisms of an associative ring R. Then the inner automorphisms (x↦ u−1xu = xu, for some unit u of R) contained in G form a normal subgroup G0 of G. In general, the Galois theory associated with the outer automorphism group G/G0 is quit well behaved (e.g. [7], 2·3–2·7, 2·10), while little group-theoretic restriction on the structure of G/G0 may be expected (even when R is a commutative field). The structure of the inner automorphism groups G0 does not seem to have received much attention so far. Here we classify the finite groups of inner automorphisms of division rings, i.e. the finite subgroups of PGL (1, D), where D is a division ring. Such groups also arise in the study of finite collineation groups of projective spaces (via the fundamental theorem of projective geometry, cf. [1], 2·26), and provide examples of finite groups having faithful irreducible projective representations over fields.

This note is concerned with a method by which generalized solutions can be shown to exist for certain types of integral equationswhere f(x) ∈ L2(0, ∞). The method is briefly this. An extended meaning is given to such equations by using generalized functions of a particular type. Then, if (1) denotes a transformation which has no everywhere-defined inverse in the usual sense, it may be possible to define in the extended sense an inverse transformationso that if f is given, a generalized function g = can be determined as a solution of (1).

SynopsisThis paper gives sufficient conditions ensuring that a non-linear control system of the formis controllable by means of control functions u(t), such that each ui(t) only takes two values, with a finite number of switches. It is assumed that the ‘unperturbed’ system ẋ = A(t)x + B(t)u is controllable in the usual sense, i.e. by measurable and bounded controls.

Let U be a universal algebra. An automorphism α of the endomorphism semigroup of U defined by α(φ) = sφs-1 for a bijection s : U → U is called a quasi-inner automorphism. We characterize bijections on U defining such automorphisms. For this purpose, we introduce the notion of a pre-automorphism of U. In the case when U is a free universal algebra, the pre-automorphisms are precisely the well-known weak automorphisms of U. We also provide different characterizations of quasi-inner automorphisms of endomorphism semigroups of free universal algebras and reveal their structure. We apply obtained results for describing the structure of groups of automorphisms of categories of free universal algebras, isomorphisms between semigroups of endomorphisms of free universal algebras, automorphism groups of endomorphism semigroups of free Lie algebras etc.

In the paper we prove the following theorem:Theorem. There is a model N of open induction in which the set of primes is bounded and N is such that its field of fractions 〈N*, +, ·, <〉 is elementarily equivalent to 〈Q, +, ·, <〉 (the standard rationals).We fix an ω1-saturated model 〈M, +, ·, <〉 of PA. Let 〈M*, +, ·, <〉 denote the field of fractions of M. The model N that we are looking for will be a substructure of 〈M*, +, ·, <〉.If A ⊆ M* then let Ā denote the ring generated by A within M*, Ậ the real closure of A, and A* the field of fractions generated by A. We haveLet J ⊆ M. Then 〈M*, +, ·〉 is a linear space over J*. If x1,…,xk ∈ M*, we shall say that x1,…,xk are J-independent if 〈1, x1,…, xk〉 are J*-independent in the usual sense. As usual, we extend the notion of J-independence to the case of infinite sets.If A ⊆ M* and X ⊆ A, then we say that X is a J-basis of A if X is a maximal subset of A which is J-independent.Definition 1.1. By a J-form ρ we mean a function from (M*)k into M*, of the formwhere q0,…, qk ∈ J*If υ ∈ M, we say that ρ is a υ-form if the numerators and denominators of the qi's have absolute values ≤ υ.

AbstractGiordano, Putnam and Skau showed that the transformation group C*-algebra arising from a Cantor minimal system is an AT-algebra, and classified it by its K-theory. For approximately inner automorphisms that preserve C(X), we will determine their classes in the Ext and OrderExt groups, and introduce a new invariant for the closure of the topological full group. We will also prove that every automorphism in the kernel of the homomorphism into the Ext group is homotopic to an inner automorphism, which extends Kishimoto’s result.

The objective of this paper is to extend the recent results [7, 8, 9] concerning the self-adjointness of Schrödinger-type operators with singular potentials to a more general setting. We shall be concerned here with formally symmetric elliptic differential expressions of the form1.1where x = (x1, …, xm) ∈ Rm (and m ≧ 1), i = (–1)1/2, ∂j = ∂/∂xj, and the coefficients ajk, bj and q are real-valued and measurable on Rm.The basic problem that we consider is that of deciding whether or not the formal operator defined by (1.1) determines a unique self-adjoint operator in the space L2(Rm) of (equivalence classes of) square integrable complex-valued functions on Rm.

AbstractEnochs introduced and studied totally integrally closed rings in the class of commutative rings. This article studies the same question for Azumaya algebras, a study made possible by Atterton's notion of integral extensions for non-commutative rings.The main results are that Azumaya algebras are totally integrally closed precisely when their centres are, and that an Azumaya algebra over a commutative semiprime ring has a tight integral extension that is totally integrally closed. Atterton's integrality differs from that often studied but is very natural in the context of Azumaya algebras. Examples show that the results do not carry over to free normalizing or excellent extensions.

It is shown that the entropy of an inner automorphism Ad u of the hyperfinite II1-factor is zero if the unitary operator u belongs to a Cartan subalgebra.
