Decomposing an endomorphism as a tensor product

$\DeclareMathOperator\End{End}$Let $f$ be an endomorphism of the finite-dimensional vector space $V$, over the field $K$. The question of whether $f$ is decomposable, that is, whether $V$ can be ...

Map $\operatorname{Sym}^{mp}(V^*) \longrightarrow K^{q}$ defined by $q$ points in $\operatorname{Sym}^p(V)$

EDIT : I have edited the question and made it more specific with respect to the kind of answer I expect. Let $V$ be a finite dimensional $K$-vector space and let $x_1, \dotsc, x_q \in V$ be $q$ points,...

Grothendieck schemes and the Sheffer differential op calculus (Rota, Roman, et al. finite operator calculus)

In "Left differential operators on non-commutative algebras" on p. 4, Michiel Hazewinkel displays "precisely the right definition of differential operator" as $$D\; X^n = F(\tfrac{...

Diagonalization over valuation rings

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a valuation ring, and consider an $\mathcal{R}$-linear endomorphism $L:\mathcal{R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathcal{R}^{n}$. Is there any criterion for telling when $L$ can be diagonalized?...

Image of multiplication map in tensor powers of finite-dimensional ring

Let $R$ be a (commutative, unital) ring of dimension $n$ over a field $k$. Assume the characteristic of $k$ is greater than $n$. Then $R^{\otimes n}$ has a natural ring structure, together with an $...

How should I think about the module of coinvariants of a $G$-module?

Let $G$ be a group, $M$ a $G$-module, then the group of coinvariants is the module $M_G := M/I_GM$, where $I_G$ is the kernel of the augmentation map $\epsilon : \mathbb{Z}G\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}$. ...

Determinants of tensors [closed]

Consider a tensor of dimension $[d]\times[d]\times[d]$ which is symmetric with respect to every permutation of the indices. Are there any $\textbf{explicit}$ formulas for notions like determinant-like ...

Conjugate Matrix

Let $A$ be a nilpotent square matrix, $J$ be the antidiagonal matrix with 1's on the secondary diagonal (i.e. $J^{2}=E$) and let $B=J A J.$ Suppose we conjugate the matrices $A,B$ by a matrix $...

Sum of two free o-submodules in a vector space over a local field

Let $V$ be a countably infinite dimensional $K$-vector space over a local field $K$ (nontrivially discretely valued with finite residue field). Let $o$ be the ring of integers of $K$. Given two free ...

Orbits in commutative groups.

Let A be finite commutative group say $(Z_m)^h$. I will say that $S \subset A$ is an orbit if exist group $H$ which acts on A such that $S$ is an orbit of $H$. Can one give a simple characterization ...
