AbstractWe show that every element in the Brauer-Wall group of a field with characteristic different from 2 is represented uniquely by a division graded algebra, (i.e. homogeneous elements are invertible) but, of course, not necessarily by a graded (division algebra). This is a fairly direct consequence of Wall's structure theory for central simple Z/2-graded algebras.

This chapter focuses on circle actions. Specifically, it specializes the Weil algebra and the Weil model to a circle action. In this case, all the formulas simplify. The chapter derives a simpler complex, called the Cartan model, which is isomorphic to the Weil model as differential graded algebras. It considers the theorem that for a circle action, there is a graded-algebra isomorphism. Under the isomorphism F, the Weil differential δ‎ corresponds to a differential called the Cartan differential. An element of the Cartan model is called an equivariant differential form or equivariant form for a circle action on the manifold M.

We characterise the set of all Hilbert polynomials of standard graded algebras over a field and give solutions of some open problems on Hilbert polynomials. In particular, we prove that a chromatic polynomial of a graph is a Hilbert polynomial of some standard graded algebra.

AbstractLet p be a prime and F a field of characteristic different from p. Suppose all p-primary roots of unity are contained in F. Let α ∈ pBr(F) which has a cyclic splitting field. We prove that γi(α) = 0 for all i ≥ 2, where γi : pBr(F) → K2i(F)/pK2i(F) are the divided power operations of degree p. We also show that if char F ≠ 2, √−1 ∈ F*. D ∈2 Br(F), indD = 8 and a ∈ F* such that ind DF(√a) = 4, then γ3(D) = {a,s}γ2(D) for some s ∈ F*. Consequently, we prove that if D, considered as a division algebra, has a subfield of degree 4 of certain type, then γ3(D) = 0. At the end of the paper we pose a few open questions.

Abstract In [2], Huayi Chen introduced approximable graded algebras, which he uses to prove a Fujita-type theorem in the arithmetic setting, and asked if any such algebra is the graded ring of a big line bundle on a projective variety. This was proved to be false in [ 8]. Continuing the analysis started in [8], we show that while not every approximable graded algebra is a sub algebra of the section ring of a big line bundle, we can associate to any approximable graded algebra $\textbf{B}$ a projective variety $X(\textbf{B})$ and an infinite divisor $D(\textbf{B}) =\sum _{i=1}^\infty a_i D_i$ with $a_i\rightarrow 0$ such that $\textbf{B}$ is a subalgebra of $$\begin{equation*} R( D(\textbf{B}))=\oplus_n H^0(X(\textbf{B}), n D(\textbf{B})).\end{equation*}$$We also establish a partial converse to these results by showing that if an infinite divisor $D=\sum _i a_iD_i$ converges in the space of numerical classes, then any full-dimensional sub-graded algebra of $\oplus _mH^0(X, \lfloor mD \rfloor ))$ is approximable.

This chapter investigates differential graded algebras. Throughout the chapter, G will be a Lie group with Lie algebra g. On a manifold M, the de Rham complex is a differential graded algebra, a graded algebra that is also a differential complex. If the Lie group G acts smoothly on M, then the de Rham complex Ω‎(M) is more than a differential graded algebra. It has in addition two actions of the Lie algebra: interior multiplication and the Lie derivative. A differential graded algebra Ω‎ with an interior multiplication and a Lie derivative satisfying Cartan's homotopy formula is called a g-differential graded algebra. To construct an algebraic model for equivariant cohomology, the chapter first constructs an algebraic model for the total space EG of the universal G-bundle. It is a g-differential graded algebra called the Weil algebra.

AbstractLet D be a finite-dimensional division algebra over its center and R = D[t;σ,δ] a skew polynomial ring. Under certain assumptions on δ and σ, the ring of central quotients D(t;σ,δ) = {f/g|f ∈ D[t;σ,δ],g ∈ C(D[t;σ,δ])} of D[t;σ,δ] is a central simple algebra with reduced norm N. We calculate the norm N(f) for some skew polynomials f ∈ R and investigate when and how the reducibility of N(f) reflects the reducibility of f.

We propose the notion of ( q , σ , τ ) -differential graded algebra, which generalizes the notions of ( σ , τ ) -differential graded algebra and q-differential graded algebra. We construct two examples of ( q , σ , τ ) -differential graded algebra, where the first one is constructed by means of the generalized Clifford algebra with two generators (reduced quantum plane), where we use a ( σ , τ ) -twisted graded q-commutator. In order to construct the second example, we introduce the notion of ( σ , τ ) -pre-cosimplicial algebra.

AbstractClassification of AS-regular algebras is one of the major projects in non-commutative algebraic geometry. In this paper, we will study when given AS-regular algebras are graded Morita equivalent. In particular, for every geometric AS-regular algebra A, we define another graded algebra A, and show that if two geometric AS-regular algebras A and A' are graded Morita equivalent, then A and A' are isomorphic as graded algebras. We also show that the converse holds in many three-dimensional cases. As applications, we apply our results to Frobenius Koszul algebras and Beilinson algebras.
