Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first extensive treatment of the theory of corings and their comodules. In the first part, the module-theoretic aspects of coalgebras over commutative rings are described. Corings are then defined as coalgebras over non-commutative rings. Topics covered include module-theoretic aspects of corings, such as the relation of comodules to special subcategories of the category of modules (sigma-type categories), connections between corings and extensions of rings, properties of new examples of corings associated to entwining structures, generalisations of bialgebras such as bialgebroids and weak bialgebras, and the appearance of corings in non-commutative geometry.

Download or read book Handbook of Algebra written by M. Hazewinkel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2009-07-08 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algebra, as we know it today, consists of many different ideas, concepts and results. A reasonable estimate of the number of these different items would be somewhere between 50,000 and 200,000. Many of these have been named and many more could (and perhaps should) have a name or a convenient designation. Even the nonspecialist is likely to encounter most of these, either somewhere in the literature, disguised as a definition or a theorem or to hear about them and feel the need for more information. If this happens, one should be able to find enough information in this Handbook to judge if it is worthwhile to pursue the quest. In addition to the primary information given in the Handbook, there are references to relevant articles, books or lecture notes to help the reader. An excellent index has been included which is extensive and not limited to definitions, theorems etc. The Handbook of Algebra will publish articles as they are received and thus the reader will find in this third volume articles from twelve different sections. The advantages of this scheme are two-fold: accepted articles will be published quickly and the outline of the Handbook can be allowed to evolve as the various volumes are published. A particularly important function of the Handbook is to provide professional mathematicians working in an area other than their own with sufficient information on the topic in question if and when it is needed. - Thorough and practical source of information - Provides in-depth coverage of new topics in algebra - Includes references to relevant articles, books and lecture notes

As this theory has made great strides in recent years, such a monograph constitutes a very valuable addition to the literature, especially as there are so far comparatively few textbooks on this topic. Radford's book contains at the end of each chapter a very useful set of chapter notes that discuss these references and therefore provide an entry point to the recent research literature, especially to the extensive literature on the classification of finite–dimensional pointed Hopf algebras, a topic not discussed in any of the other books. For all these reasons, Radford's book is a very valuable new textbook on Hopf algebras that will be frequently used both by students and by researchers." Mathematical Reviews "A big number of exercises of different level of difficulty are proposed along the text, which include in particular special features or applications to a variety of concrete examples, further results and categorical aspects of the corresponding material. Interesting and up-to-date historical and bibliographical comments are provided at the end of each of the sixteen chapters." Zentralblatt MATH

Download or read book Axiomatic Stable Homotopy Theory written by Mark Hovey and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives an axiomatic presentation of stable homotopy theory. It starts with axioms defining a 'stable homotopy category'; using these axioms, one can make various constructions - cellular towers, Bousfield localization, and Brown representability, to name a few. Much of the book is devoted to these constructions and to the study of the global structure of stable homotopy categories. Next, a number of examples of such categories are presented. Some of these arise in topology (the ordinary stable homotopy category of spectra, categories of equivariant spectra, and Bousfield localizations of these), and others in algebra (coming from the representation theory of groups or of Lie algebras, as well as the derived category of a commutative ring). Hence one can apply many of the tools of stable homotopy theory to these algebraic situations.This work: provides a reference for standard results and constructions in stable homotopy theory; discusses applications of those results to algebraic settings, such as group theory and commutative algebra; provides a unified treatment of several different situations in stable homotopy, including equivariant stable homotopy and localizations of the stable homotopy category; and, also provides a context for nilpotence and thick subcategory theorems, such as the nilpotence theorem of Devinatz-Hopkins-Smith and the thick subcategory theorem of Hopkins-Smith in stable homotopy theory, and the thick subcategory theorem of Benson-Carlson-Rickard in representation theory. This book presents stable homotopy theory as a branch of mathematics in its own right with applications in other fields of mathematics. It is a first step toward making stable homotopy theory a tool useful in many disciplines of mathematics.

Download or read book Algebraic Methods in Unstable Homotopy Theory written by Joseph Neisendorfer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-18 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most modern and thorough treatment of unstable homotopy theory available. The focus is on those methods from algebraic topology which are needed in the presentation of results, proven by Cohen, Moore, and the author, on the exponents of homotopy groups. The author introduces various aspects of unstable homotopy theory, including: homotopy groups with coefficients; localization and completion; the Hopf invariants of Hilton, James, and Toda; Samelson products; homotopy Bockstein spectral sequences; graded Lie algebras; differential homological algebra; and the exponent theorems concerning the homotopy groups of spheres and Moore spaces. This book is suitable for a course in unstable homotopy theory, following a first course in homotopy theory. It is also a valuable reference for both experts and graduate students wishing to enter the field.

Download or read book The Q Schur Algebra written by Stephen Donkin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-12-10 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the representation theory of q-Schur algebras and connections with the representation theory of Hecke algebras and quantum general linear groups. The aim is to present, from a unified point of view, quantum analogs of certain results known already in the classical case. The approach is largely homological, based on Kempf's vanishing theorem for quantum groups and the quasi-hereditary structure of the q-Schur algebras. Beginning with an introductory chapter dealing with the relationship between the ordinary general linear groups and their quantum analogies, the text goes on to discuss the Schur Functor and the 0-Schur algebra. The next chapter considers Steinberg's tensor product and infinitesimal theory. Later sections of the book discuss tilting modules, the Ringel dual of the q-Schur algebra, Specht modules for Hecke algebras, and the global dimension of the q-Schur algebras. An appendix gives a self-contained account of the theory of quasi-hereditary algebras and their associated tilting modules. This volume will be primarily of interest to researchers in algebra and related topics in pure mathematics.

Download or read book Introduction to the Quantum Yang Baxter Equation and Quantum Groups An Algebraic Approach written by L.A. Lambe and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1 The algebraic prerequisites for the book are covered here and in the appendix. This chapter should be used as reference material and should be consulted as needed. A systematic treatment of algebras, coalgebras, bialgebras, Hopf algebras, and represen tations of these objects to the extent needed for the book is given. The material here not specifically cited can be found for the most part in [Sweedler, 1969] in one form or another, with a few exceptions. A great deal of emphasis is placed on the coalgebra which is the dual of n x n matrices over a field. This is the most basic example of a coalgebra for our purposes and is at the heart of most algebraic constructions described in this book. We have found pointed bialgebras useful in connection with solving the quantum Yang-Baxter equation. For this reason we develop their theory in some detail. The class of examples described in Chapter 6 in connection with the quantum double consists of pointed Hopf algebras. We note the quantized enveloping algebras described Hopf algebras. Thus for many reasons pointed bialgebras are elsewhere are pointed of fundamental interest in the study of the quantum Yang-Baxter equation and objects quantum groups.

Download or read book Bivariant Periodic Cyclic Homology written by Christian Groenbaek and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-04-30 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent work by Cuntz and Quillen on bivariant periodic cyclic homology has caused quite a revolution in the subject. In this self-contained exposition, the author's purpose is to understand the functorial properties of the Cuntz-Quillen theory, which motivaties his explorations of what he calls cyclic pro-homology. Simply stated, the cyclic pro-homology of an (associative) algebra A is short for the Z/2 Z-graded inverse system of cyclic homology groups of A, considered as a pro-vector space. The author finds that this functor, taking algebras over a field k of characteristic zero into the category of pro-k-vector spaces, is remarkable. He presents a proof that it is excisive and that it satisfies a Künneth isomorphism for the tensor product of algebras. He explains the relation to the Cuntz-Quillen groups in a Universal Coefficient Theorem and in a Milnor lim1-sequence. This enables the lifting - to some extent- of the nice properties of cyclic pro-homology properties to the Cuntz Quillen theory itself. It is interesting to note that for the excision result, this lifting procedure goes through without constraints. For those new to cyclic homology, Dr. Grønbaek takes care to provide an introduction to the subject, including the motivation for the theory, definitions, and fundamental results, and establishes the homological machinery needed for application to the Cuntz-Quillen theory. Mathematicians interested in cyclic homology-especially ring theorists using homological methods-will find this work original, enlightening, and thought-provoking. The author leaves the door open for deeper study into excision for the Cuntz-Quillen theory for a class of topological algebras, such as the category of m-algebras considered by Cuntz.
