Let $R$ be a quasi-homogeneous $k$-algebra and $M$ be a finitely generated graded $R$-module. The formal power series $\sum_{i}\dim_{k}(\mathrm{tor}_{i}^R(k,M)z^i$ is called the Poincaré series of $M$ and it is denoted by $P_{M}^R(z)$. We remark that the Poincaré series of the module of derivations of a monomial ring is rational and determine it in some cases.

AbstractA (noncommutative) Pólya series over a field K is a formal power series whose nonzero coefficients are contained in a finitely generated subgroup of $$K^\times $$ K × . We show that rational Pólya series are unambiguous rational series, proving a 40 year old conjecture of Reutenauer. The proof combines methods from noncommutative algebra, automata theory, and number theory (specifically, unit equations). As a corollary, a rational series is a Pólya series if and only if it is Hadamard sub-invertible. Phrased differently, we show that every weighted finite automaton taking values in a finitely generated subgroup of a field (and zero) is equivalent to an unambiguous weighted finite automaton.

Almkvist proved that for a commutative ring A the characteristic polynomial of an endomorphism α : P → P of a finitely generated projective A-module determines (P, α) up to extensions. For a non-commutative ring A the generalized characteristic polynomial of an endomorphism of an endomorphism α : P → P of a finitely generated projective A-module is defined to be the Whitehead torsion [1 − xα] ∈ K1(A[[x]]), which is an equivalence class of formal power series with constant coefficient 1.The paper gives an example of a non-commutative ring A and an endomorphism α : P → P for which the generalized characteristic polynomial does not determine (P, α) up to extensions. The phenomenon is traced back to the non-injectivity of the natural map [sum ]−1A[x] → A[[x]] where [sum ]−1A[x] is the Cohn localization of A[x] inverting the set [sum ] of matrices in A[x] sent to an invertible matrix by A[x] → A;x [map ] 0.

AbstractIn the context of Riordan arrays, the problem of determining the square root of a Bell matrix $$R={\mathcal {R}}(f(t)/t,\ f(t))$$ R = R ( f ( t ) / t , f ( t ) ) defined by a formal power series $$f(t)=\sum _{k \ge 0}f_kt^k$$ f ( t ) = ∑ k ≥ 0 f k t k with $$f(0)=f_0=0$$ f ( 0 ) = f 0 = 0 is presented. It is proved that if $$f^\prime (0)=1$$ f ′ ( 0 ) = 1 and $$f^{\prime \prime }(0)\ne 0$$ f ″ ( 0 ) ≠ 0 then there exists another Bell matrix $$H={\mathcal {R}}(h(t)/t,\ h(t))$$ H = R ( h ( t ) / t , h ( t ) ) such that $$H*H=R;$$ H ∗ H = R ; in particular, function h(t) is univocally determined by a symbolic computational method which in many situations allows to find the function in closed form. Moreover, it is shown that function h(t) is related to the solution of Schröder’s equation. We also compute a Riordan involution related to this kind of matrices.

A locally finite category is defined as a category in which every arrow admits only finitely many different ways to be factorized by composable arrows. The large algebra of such categories over some fields may be defined, and with it a group of invertible series (under multiplication). For certain particular locally finite categories, a substitution operation, generalizing the usual substitution of formal power series, may be defined, and with it a group of reversible series (invertible under substitution). Moreover, both groups are actually affine groups. In this contribution, we introduce their coordinate Hopf algebras which are both free as commutative algebras. The semidirect product structure obtained from the action of reversible series on invertible series by anti-automorphisms gives rise to an interaction at the level of their coordinate Hopf algebras under the form of a smash coproduct.
