Kawamoto generalized the Witt algebra using F[${X_1}^{\pm1},....{X_n}^{\pm1}$] instead of F[x1,…, xn]. We construct the generalized Witt algebra $W_{g,h,n}$ by using additive mappings g, h from a set of integers into a field F of characteristic zero. We show that the Lie algebra $W_{g,h,n}$ is simple if a g and h are injective, and also the Lie algebra $W_{g,h,n}$ has no ad-digonalizable elements.

We prove that two essentially normal elements of a type $II_{\infty}$ factor von Neumann algebra are unitarily equivalent up to the compact ideal if and only if they have the identical essential spectrum and the same index data. Also we calculate the spectrum and essential spectrum of a non-unitary isometry of von Neumann algebra.

There have been many papers reporting that the axiomatic approach in Abstract Algebra is a big obstacle to overcome for the students who are not trained to think in an abstract way. Therefore an instructor must seek for ways to help students grasp mathematical concepts in Abstract Algebra and select the ones suitable for students. Mathematics faculty and students generally consider Abstract Algebra in general and quotient groups in particular to be one of the most troublesome undergraduate subjects. For, an individual's knowledge of the concept of group should include an understanding of various mathematical properties and constructions including groups consisting of undefined elements and a binary operation satisfying the axioms. Even if one begins with a very concrete group, the transition from the group to one of its quotient changes the nature of the elements and forces a student to deal with elements that are undefined. In fact, we also have found through running abstract algebra courses for several years that students have considerable difficulty in understanding the concept of quotient groups. Based on the above observation, we explore and analyze the nature of students' knowledge about $Z_n$ that is the set of congruence classes modulo n. Applying the genetic decomposition method, we propose a model to lead students to achieve the correct concept of $Z_n$.

In this Paper the change of trends over historical research of mathematics, that has been developed since 1970, is inquired. Most of all it deals with the controversy concerning so-called 'geometrical algebra'. It covers the contents of Euclid' work II. And the relation of the controversy with the change of direction over historical research of mathematics is examined.

The braid group $B_n$ maps homomorphically into the Temperley-Lieb algebra $TL_n$. It was shown by Zinno that the homomorphic images of simple elements arising from the dual presentation of the braid group $B_n$ form a basis for the vector space underlying the Temperley-Lieb algebra $TL_n$. In this paper, we establish that there is a dual presentation of Temperley-Lieb algebras that corresponds to the dual presentation of braid groups, and then give a simple geometric proof for Zinno's theorem, using the interpretation of simple elements as non-crossing partitions.

The purpose of this paper is to show that a certain finite dimensional representation of the rational Cherednik algebra of type A has a basis consisting of simultaneous eigenvectors for the actions of a certain family of commuting elements, which are introduced in the author's previous paper. To this end, we introduce a combinatorial object, which is called a restricted arrangement of colored beads, and consider an action of the affine symmetric group on the set of the arrangements.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of weakly associative BCI-algebras and investigate structure of it. Some of characterizations of elements of the quasi-associative part Q(X) of a BCI-algebra X are shown.

Let U be the restricted quantized enveloping algebra Ũ_q(𝖘𝖑₂) over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, where q is a primitive 𝑙-th root of unity (with 𝑙 being odd and greater than 1). In this paper we show that any indecomposable submodule of U under the adjoint action is generated by finitely many special elements. Using this result we describe all ideals of U. Moreover, we classify annihilator ideals of simple modules of U by generators.

Fix $n-2$ elements $h_1,{\cdots},h_{n-2}$ of the quotient field B of the polynomial algebra $\mathbb{C}[x_1,x_2,{\cdots},x_n]$. It is proved that B is a Poisson algebra with Poisson bracket defined by $\{f,g\}=det(Jac(f,g,h_1,{\cdots},h_{n-2})$ for any $f,g{\in}B$, where det(Jac) is the determinant of a Jacobian matrix.

Using the notion of nilpotent elements, the concept of nil subsets is introduced, and related properties are investigated. We show that a nil subset on a subalgebra (resp. (closed) ideal) is a subalgebra (resp. (closed) ideal). We also prove that in a nil algebra every ideal is a subalgebra.
