Non-commutative rings and algebras, non-associative algebras, universal algebra and lattice theory, linear algebra, semigroups. For questions specific to commutative algebra (that is, rings that are assumed both associative and commutative), rather use the tag ac.commutative-algebra.

Is a biideal of a Noetherian Hopf algebra automatically Hopf?

Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra over a field $k$, and $I$ be a biideal of $H$. I am looking for conditions that guarantee that $I$ is a Hopf ideal (that means $S\left(I\right)\subseteq I$). One condition t …

Artin Jacobson-semisimple rings are semisimple. Constructively, too?

Notation. When I say "ring", I mean "ring with unity" (not necessarily commutative). Definition. A ring $R$ is said to be left-Artinian if for every sequence $I_0\supseteq I_1\supseteq I_2\supseteq I …

Linear functional kills all primitives of a connected filtered coalgebra => it lies in m^2?

Let $C$ be a connected filtered coalgebra over a field $k$. Maybe $k$ has characteristic $0$ (though I don't know where this can be of use). Let $1$ denote the unique element of $C_0$ mapping to $1\in …

Jacobson radical = intersection of all maximal two-sided ideals

I'm embarassed to ask this question, but the literature on noncommutative rings seems to give this a berth as if it was absolutely trivial and not worth discussing, and I can't prove it, so all I can …

Is there any transitivity for separable algebras?

If $R$ is a commutative ring (with $1$), then an $R$-algebra $A$ is said to be separable if $A$ is projective as an $A$-$A$-bimodule. (The notion of an "$A$-$A$-bimodule" includes the requirement that …

Pseudo-idempotent matrix generating a free module

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $1$. Let $n$ and $k$ be nonnegative integers, and let $A\in\mathrm{M}_n\left(R\right)$ be a matrix such that $A\cdot R^n\cong R^k$ as $R$-modules. Assume that $A^2=\ …

No more absolute simples than $p$-regular conjucacy classes: elementary proof?

I am wondering whether anyone knows an elementary (no number fields, no Brauer characters; ideally, not even passing to algebraic extensions) proof of the following fact: Let $G$ be a finite group. L …

Is the Cartan matrix of a finite-dimensional (Hopf) algebra invertible over the rationals?

This is probably well-known to representation theorists, but this doesn't imply being well-known to me. Let $k$ be a field, and let $A$ be a $k$-algebra that is finite-dimensional as a $k$-vector spa …

First-order UFD (factorial ring) condition / pre-Schreier rings

All rings in this post are commutative and with $1$. Everyone knows the definition of a factorial ring, a. k. a. unique factorization domain (UFD). I have been wondering about some variations regardi …

Injectivity criterion for surjective coalgebra maps: does it hold in full generality?

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a commutative ring. Let $C$ be a filtered $\mathbf{k}$-coalgebra. This means a $\mathbf{k}$-coalgebra equipped with an increasing $\mathbf{k}$-module filtration $C^0 \subseteq C^1 …

PBW theorem over a Q-algebra, without freeness or flatness

Let $k$ be a commutative ring with $1$. Let $L$ be a $k$-Lie algebra, which is not necessarily free as a $k$-module. Let $S\left(L\right)$ denote the symmetric algebra of $L$ (over $k$), constructed a …

Is the discriminant of a free (as a module) $R$-algebra always congruent to a square modulo 4?

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Let $A$ be an $R$-algebra (i.e., an $R$-module equipped with an $R$-bilinear multiplication map that turns $A$ into a unital ring). We do not require $A$ to be commutat …

Composition of Frobenius $n$-homomorphisms, characteristic-free?

This question is, as so often, a crossbreed of curiosity and laziness. The former has led me to an interesting, but somewhat unsatisfactory paper by Khudaverdian and Voronov (arXiv:2002.02395v2) and, …
