Quotients of the Highwater algebra and its cover

Primitive axial algebras of Monster type are a class of non-associative algebras with a strong link to finite (especially simple) groups. The motivating example is the Griess algebra, with the Monster as its automorphism group. A crucial step towards the understanding of such algebras is the explicit description of the 2-generated symmetric objects. Recent work of Yabe, and Franchi and Mainardis shows that any such algebra is either explicitly known, or is a quotient of the infinite-dimensional Highwater algebra H, or its characteristic 5 cover Hˆ.In this paper, we complete the classification of symmetric axial algebras of Monster type by determining the quotients of H and Hˆ. We proceed in a unified way, by defining a cover of H in all characteristics. This cover has a previously unseen fusion law and provides an insight into why the Highwater algebra has a cover which is of Monster type only in characteristic 5.

2-generated axial algebras of Monster type (2β,β)

Axial algebras of Monster type (α,β) are a class of non-associative algebras that includes, besides associative algebras, other important examples such as the Jordan algebras and the Griess algebra. 2-generated primitive axial algebras of Monster type (α,β) naturally split into three cases: the case when α∉{2β,4β}, the case α=4β and α=2β. In this paper we give a complete classification all 2-generated primitive axial algebras of Monster type (2β,β).

Splitting Extensions of Nonassociative Algebras and Modules with Metagroup Relations

A class of nonassociative algebras is investigated with mild relations induced from metagroup structures. Modules over nonassociative algebras are studied. For a class of modules over nonassociative algebras, their extensions and splitting extensions are scrutinized. For this purpose tensor products of modules and induced modules over nonassociative algebras are investigated. Moreover, a developed cohomology theory on them is used.

Extremal elements in Lie algebras, buildings and structurable algebras

An extremal element in a Lie algebra g over a field of characteristic not 2 is an element x∈g such that [x,[x,g]] is contained in the linear span of x. The linear span of an extremal element, called an extremal point, is an inner ideal of g, i.e. a subspace I satisfying [I,[I,g]]≤I. We show that in characteristic different from 2,3 the geometry with point set the set of extremal points and as lines the minimal inner ideals containing at least two extremal points is a Moufang spherical building, or in case there are no lines a Moufang set.This last result on the Moufang sets is obtained by connecting Lie algebras to structurable algebras, a class of non-associative algebras with involution generalizing Jordan algebras. It is shown that in characteristic different from 2,3 each finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra generated by extremal elements is either a symplectic Lie algebra or can be obtained by applying the Tits-Kantor-Koecher construction to a skew-dimension one structurable algebra. Various relations between the Lie algebra g and its extremal geometry on the one hand and the associated structurable algebra on the other hand are investigated.

Von-Neumann Finiteness and Reversibility in some Classes of Non-Associative Algebras

We investigate criteria for von-Neumann finiteness and reversibility in some classes of non-associative algebras. Types of algebras that are studied include alternative, flexible, quadratic and involutive algebras, as well as algebras obtained by the Cayley–Dickson doubling process. Our results include precise criteria for von-Neumann finiteness and reversibility of involutive algebras in terms of isomorphism types of their 3-dimensional subalgebras.

Cohomology Theory of Nonassociative Algebras with Metagroup Relations

Nonassociative algebras with metagroup relations and their modules are studied. Their cohomology theory is scrutinized. Extensions and cleftings of these algebras are studied. Broad families of such algebras and their acyclic complexes are described. For this purpose, different types of products of metagroups are investigated. Necessary structural properties of metagroups are studied. Examples are given. It is shown that a class of nonassociative algebras with metagroup relations contains a subclass of generalized Cayley–Dickson algebras.

Nearly associative deformation quantization

We study several classes of non-associative algebras as possible candidates for deformation quantization in the direction of a Poisson bracket that does not satisfy Jacobi identities. We show that in fact alternative deformation quantization algebras require the Jacobi identities on the Poisson bracket and, under very general assumptions, are associative. At the same time, flexible deformation quantization algebras exist for any Poisson bracket.

A new class of nonassociative algebras with involution

This article is devoted to introduce a new class of nonassociative algebras with involution including the class of structurable algebras.

Isomorphically rigid algebras

Various classes of non-associative algebras possessing the property of being rigid under abstract isomorphisms are studied.

A Class of Nonassociative Algebras

In this paper, we classify the nonassociative algebras whose associator satisfies relations defined by a natural action of the symmetric group of degree 3.

VALUED DEFORMATIONS OF ALGEBRAS

We develop a notion of deformations using a valuation ring as a ring of coefficients. This allows us in particular to consider the classical Gerstenhaber deformations of associative or Lie algebras as valued deformations and to solve the equation of deformations in a polynomial framework. We consider also deformations of the enveloping algebra of a rigid Lie algebra and we define valued deformations for some classes of non associative algebras.

On Bernstein algebras which are train algebras

The class of non-associative algebras over a field of characteristic zero named in the title is studied using a result of Ouattara [9]. As an application, the differential equation for overlapping generations in the time-continuous model is solved.

Isomorphisms of H*-algebras

H*-algebras were introduced and studied by Ambrose [1] in the associative case, and the theory has been extended to such particular classes of non-associative algebras as Lie [18, 19], Jordan[20, 21, 7], alternative [11] and non-commutative Jordan [6] algebras. In all these cases the core of the matter is showing that every H*-algebra (in the given class) with zero annihilator is the closure of the orthogonal sum of its minimal closed ideals (each of which is a topologically simple H*-algebra), and then listing all the topologically simple H*-algebras in the class. In fact every nonassociative H*-algebra with zero annihilator is the closure of the orthogonal sum of its minimal closed ideals [6, theorem 2·7], so the problem of the classification of topologically simple non-associative H*-algebras becomes interesting. In relation with this problem the question arises whether, once an algebra A has been structured as a topologically simple H*-algebra, every H*-algebra structure on A is (up to a positive multiple of the inner product) totally isomorphic to the given one (see [3] and [11, section 4]). As a consequence of the results in this paper we give a general affirmative answer to this question.

Some Lie Admissible Algebras

Several studies have been made to obtain larger classes of non-associative algebras from classes of algebras with a known structure. Thus, we have right alternative algebras (2)* and non-commutative Jordan algebras (6), (7), (8), and (9). These algebras are defined by a subset of the set of identities of the algebras from which they derive their names. Also, Albert (1), among others has studied Jordan admissible algebras. This paper is concerned with algebras which are related to Lie algebras in that they satisfy some of the identities of a Lie algebra and are Lie admissible. Theorem 2 answers a question raised by Albert in (1).
