This book has for the first time, introduced a new algebraic structure called linear bialgebra, which is also a very powerful algebraic tool that can yield itself to applications. With the recent introduction of bimatrices (2005) we have ventured in this book to introduce new concepts like linear bialgebra and Smarandache neutrosophic linear bialgebra and also give the applications of these algebraic structures. It is important to mention here it is a matter of simple exercise to extend these to linear n-algebra for any n greater than 2; for n = 2 we get the linear bialgebra. This book has five chapters. In the first chapter we just introduce some basic notions of linear algebra and S- linear algebra and their applications. Chapter two introduces some new algebraic bistructures. In chapter three we introduce the notion of linear bialgebra and discuss several interesting properties about them. Also, application of linear bialgebra to bicodes is given. A remarkable part of our research in this book is the introduction of the notion of birepresentation of bigroups. The fourth chapter introduces several neutrosophic algebraic structures since they help in defining the new concept of neutrosophic linear bialgebra, neutrosophic bivector spaces, Smarandache neutrosophic linear bialgebra and Smarandache neutrosophic bivector spaces. Their 5 probable applications to real-world models are discussed. We have aimed to make this book engrossing and illustrative and supplemented it with nearly 150 examples. The final chapter gives 114 problems which will be a boon for the reader to understand and develop the subject. The main purpose of this book is to familiarize the reader with the applications of linear bialgebra to real-world problems. Finally, we express our heart-felt thanks to Dr.K.Kandasamy whose assistance and encouragement in every manner made this book possible. W.B.VASANTHA KANDASAMY FLORENTIN SMARANDACHE K. ILANTHENRAL 6 Chapter One INTRODUCTION TO LINEAR ALGEBRA AND S-LINEAR ALGEBRA In this chapter we just give a brief introduction to linear algebra and S-linear algebra and its applications. This chapter has three sections. In section one; we just recall the basic definition of linear algebra and some of the important theorems. In section two we give the definition of S-linear algebra and some of its basic properties. Section three gives a few applications of linear algebra and S-linear algebra. 1.1 Basic properties of linear algebra In this section we give the definition of linear algebra and just state the few important theorems like Cayley Hamilton theorem, Cyclic Decomposition Theorem, Generalized Cayley Hamilton Theorem and give some properties about linear algebra. DEFINITION 1.1.1: A vector space or a linear space consists of the following: i. a field F of scalars. ii. a set V of objects called vectors. 7 iii. a rule (or operation) called vector addition; which associates with each pair of vectors α, β ∈ V; α + β in V, called the sum of α and β in such a way that a. addition is commutative α + β = β + α. b. addition is associative α + (β + γ) = (α + β) + γ. c. there is a unique vector 0 in V, called the zero vector, such that α + 0 = α for all α in V. d. for each vector α in V there is a unique vector – α in V such that α + (–α) = 0. e. a rule (or operation), called scalar multiplication, which associates with each scalar c in F and a vector α in V a vector c y α in V, called the product of c and α, in such a way that 1. 1y α = α for every α in V. 2. (c1 y c2)y α = c1 y (c2y α ). 3. c y (α + β) = cy α + cy β. 4. (c1 + c2)y α = c1y α + c2y α . for α, β ∈ V and c, c1 ∈ F. It is important to note as the definition states that a vector space is a composite object consisting of a field, a set of ‘vectors’ and two operations with certain special properties. V is a linear algebra if V has a multiplicative closed binary operation ‘.’ which is associative; i.e., if v1, v2 ∈ V, v1.v2 ∈ V. The same set of vectors may be part of a number of distinct vectors. 8 We simply by default of notation just say V a vector space over the field F and call elements of V as vectors only as matter of convenience for the vectors in V may not bear much resemblance to any pre-assigned concept of vector, which the reader has. THEOREM (CAYLEY HAMILTON): Let T be a linear operator on a finite dimensional vector space V. If f is the characteristic polynomial for T, then f(T) = 0, in other words the minimal polynomial divides the characteristic polynomial for T. THEOREM: (CYCLIC DECOMPOSITION THEOREM): Let T be a linear operator on a finite dimensional vector space V and let W0 be a proper T-admissible subspace of V. There exist non-zero vectors α1, …, αr in V with respective T- annihilators p1, …, pr such that i. V = W0 ⊕ Z(α1; T) ⊕ … ⊕ Z (αr; T). ii. pt divides pt–1, t = 2, …, r. Further more the integer r and the annihilators p1, …, pr are uniquely determined by (i) and (ii) and the fact that αt is 0. THEOREM (GENERALIZED CAYLEY HAMILTON THEOREM): Let T be a linear operator on a finite dimensional vector space V. Let p and f be the minimal and characteristic polynomials for T, respectively i. p divides f. ii. p and f have the same prime factors except the multiplicities. α1 αt iii. If p = f1 … ft is the prime factorization of p, d1 d2 dt then f = f1 f2 … ft where di is the nullity of α fi(T) divided by the degree of fi . 9 The following results are direct and left for the reader to prove. Here we take vector spaces only over reals i.e., real numbers. We are not interested in the study of these properties in case of complex fields. Here we recall the concepts of linear functionals, adjoint, unitary operators and normal operators. DEFINITION 1.1.2: Let F be a field of reals and V be a vector space over F. An inner product on V is a function which assigns to each ordered pair of vectors α , β in V a scalar 〈α / β〉 in F in such a way that for all α, β, γ in V and for all scalars c. i. 〈α + β | γ〉 = 〈α | γ〉 + 〈β | γ〉. ii. 〈c α | β〉 = c〈α | β〉. iii. 〈β | α〉 = 〈α | β〉. iv. 〈α | α〉 > 0 if α ≠ 0. v. 〈α | cβ + γ〉 = c〈α | β〉 + 〈α | γ〉. Let Q n or F n be a n dimensional vector space over Q or F respectively for α, β ∈ Q n or F n where α = 〈α1, α2, …, αn〉 and β = 〈β1, β2, …, βn〉 〈α | β〉 = ∑α j β j . j Note: We denote the positive square root of 〈α | α〉 by ||α|| and ||α|| is called the norm of α with respect to the inner product 〈 〉. We just recall the notion of quadratic form. The quadratic form determined by the inner product is the function that assigns to each vector α the scalar ||α||2. Thus we call an inner product space is a real vector space together with a specified inner product in that space. A finite dimensional real inner product space is often called a Euclidean space. 10 The following result is straight forward and hence the proof is left for the reader.

  • SOME ALGEBRAIC DEFINITIONS and CONSTRUCTIONS Definition
    SOME ALGEBRAIC DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTIONS Definition 1. A monoid is a set M with an element e and an associative multipli- cation M M M for which e is a two-sided identity element: em = m = me for all m M×. A−→group is a monoid in which each element m has an inverse element m−1, so∈ that mm−1 = e = m−1m. A homomorphism f : M N of monoids is a function f such that f(mn) = −→ f(m)f(n) and f(eM )= eN . A “homomorphism” of any kind of algebraic structure is a function that preserves all of the structure that goes into the definition. When M is commutative, mn = nm for all m,n M, we often write the product as +, the identity element as 0, and the inverse of∈m as m. As a convention, it is convenient to say that a commutative monoid is “Abelian”− when we choose to think of its product as “addition”, but to use the word “commutative” when we choose to think of its product as “multiplication”; in the latter case, we write the identity element as 1. Definition 2. The Grothendieck construction on an Abelian monoid is an Abelian group G(M) together with a homomorphism of Abelian monoids i : M G(M) such that, for any Abelian group A and homomorphism of Abelian monoids−→ f : M A, there exists a unique homomorphism of Abelian groups f˜ : G(M) A −→ −→ such that f˜ i = f. ◦ We construct G(M) explicitly by taking equivalence classes of ordered pairs (m,n) of elements of M, thought of as “m n”, under the equivalence relation generated by (m,n) (m′,n′) if m + n′ = −n + m′.

  • QUIVER BIALGEBRAS and MONOIDAL CATEGORIES 3 K N ≥ 0
    QUIVER BIALGEBRAS AND MONOIDAL CATEGORIES HUA-LIN HUANG (JINAN) AND BLAS TORRECILLAS (ALMER´IA) Abstract. We study the bialgebra structures on quiver coalgebras and the monoidal structures on the categories of locally nilpotent and locally finite quiver representations. It is shown that the path coalgebra of an arbitrary quiver admits natural bialgebra structures. This endows the category of locally nilpotent and locally finite representations of an arbitrary quiver with natural monoidal structures from bialgebras. We also obtain theorems of Gabriel type for pointed bialgebras and hereditary finite pointed monoidal categories. 1. Introduction This paper is devoted to the study of natural bialgebra structures on the path coalgebra of an arbitrary quiver and monoidal structures on the category of its locally nilpotent and locally finite representations. A further purpose is to establish a quiver setting for general pointed bialgebras and pointed monoidal categories. Our original motivation is to extend the Hopf quiver theory [4, 7, 8, 12, 13, 25, 31] to the setting of generalized Hopf structures. As bialgebras are a fundamental generalization of Hopf algebras, we naturally initiate our study from this case. The basic problem is to determine what kind of quivers can give rise to bialgebra structures on their associated path algebras or coalgebras. It turns out that the path coalgebra of an arbitrary quiver admits natural bial- gebra structures, see Theorem 3.2. This seems a bit surprising at first sight by comparison with the Hopf case given in [8], where Cibils and Rosso showed that the path coalgebra of a quiver Q admits a Hopf algebra structure if and only if Q is a Hopf quiver which is very special.

  • Characterization of Hopf Quasigroups
    Characterization of Hopf Quasigroups Wei WANG and Shuanhong WANG ∗ School of Mathematics, Southeast University, Jiangsu Nanjing 210096, China E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we first discuss some properties of the Galois linear maps. We provide some equivalent conditions for Hopf algebras and Hopf (co)quasigroups as its applications. Then let H be a Hopf quasigroup with bijective antipode and G be the set of all Hopf quasigroup automorphisms of H. We introduce a new category CH(α, β) with α, β ∈ G over H and construct a new braided π-category C (H) with all the categories CH (α, β) as components. Key words: Galois linear map; Antipode; Hopf (co)quasigroup; Braided π-category. Mathematics Subject Classification 2010: 16T05. 1. Introduction The most well-known examples of Hopf algebras are the linear spans of (arbitrary) groups. Dually, also the vector space of linear functionals on a finite group carries the structure of a Hopf algebra. In the case of quasigroups (nonassociative groups)(see [A]) however, it is no longer a Hopf algebra but, more generally, a Hopf quasigroup. In 2010, Klim and Majid in [KM] introduced the notion of a Hopf quasigroup which was arXiv:1902.10141v1 [math.QA] 26 Feb 2019 not only devoted to the development of this missing link: Hopf quasigroup but also to under- stand the structure and relevant properties of the algebraic 7-sphere, here Hopf quasigroups are not associative but the lack of this property is compensated by some axioms involving the antipode S. This mathematical object was studied in [FW] for twisted action as a gen- eralization of Hopf algebras actions.

  • Algebraic Structures Lecture 18 Thursday, April 4, 2019 1 Type
    Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences — CS 152: Programming Languages Algebraic structures Lecture 18 Thursday, April 4, 2019 In abstract algebra, algebraic structures are defined by a set of elements and operations on those ele- ments that satisfy certain laws. Some of these algebraic structures have interesting and useful computa- tional interpretations. In this lecture we will consider several algebraic structures (monoids, functors, and monads), and consider the computational patterns that these algebraic structures capture. We will look at Haskell, a functional programming language named after Haskell Curry, which provides support for defin- ing and using such algebraic structures. Indeed, monads are central to practical programming in Haskell. First, however, we consider type constructors, and see two new type constructors. 1 Type constructors A type constructor allows us to create new types from existing types. We have already seen several different type constructors, including product types, sum types, reference types, and parametric types. The product type constructor × takes existing types τ1 and τ2 and constructs the product type τ1 × τ2 from them. Similarly, the sum type constructor + takes existing types τ1 and τ2 and constructs the product type τ1 + τ2 from them. We will briefly introduce list types and option types as more examples of type constructors. 1.1 Lists A list type τ list is the type of lists with elements of type τ. We write [] for the empty list, and v1 :: v2 for the list that contains value v1 as the first element, and v2 is the rest of the list. We also provide a way to check whether a list is empty (isempty? e) and to get the head and the tail of a list (head e and tail e).

  • TENSOR TOPOLOGY 1. Introduction Categorical Approaches Have Been Very Successful in Bringing Topological Ideas Into Other Areas
    TENSOR TOPOLOGY PAU ENRIQUE MOLINER, CHRIS HEUNEN, AND SEAN TULL Abstract. A subunit in a monoidal category is a subobject of the monoidal unit for which a canonical morphism is invertible. They correspond to open subsets of a base topological space in categories such as those of sheaves or Hilbert modules. We show that under mild conditions subunits endow any monoidal category with a kind of topological intuition: there are well-behaved notions of restriction, localisation, and support, even though the subunits in general only form a semilattice. We develop universal constructions complet- ing any monoidal category to one whose subunits universally form a lattice, preframe, or frame. 1. Introduction Categorical approaches have been very successful in bringing topological ideas into other areas of mathematics. A major example is the category of sheaves over a topological space, from which the open sets of the space can be reconstructed as subobjects of the terminal object. More generally, in any topos such subobjects form a frame. Frames are lattices with properties capturing the behaviour of the open sets of a space, and form the basis of the constructive theory of pointfree topology [35]. In this article we study this inherent notion of space in categories more general than those with cartesian products. Specifically, we argue that a semblance of this topological intuition remains in categories with mere tensor products. For the special case of toposes this exposes topological aspects in a different direction than considered previously. The aim of this article is to lay foundations for this (ambitiously titled) `tensor topology'. Boyarchenko and Drinfeld [10, 11] have already shown how to equate the open sets of a space with certain morphisms in its monoidal category of sheaves of vector spaces.

Semilattice sums of algebras and Mal’tsev products of varieties Abstract The Mal’tsev product of two varieties of similar algebras is always a quasivariety. We consider when this quasivariety is a variety. The main result shows that if V is a strongly irregular variety with no nullary operations, and S is a variety, of the same type as V, equivalent to the variety of semilattices, then the Mal’tsev product V ◦ S is a variety. It consists precisely of semilattice sums of algebras in V. We derive an equational basis for the product from an equational basis for V. However, if V is a regular variety, then the Mal’tsev product may not be a variety. We discuss examples of various applications of the main result, and examine some detailed representations of algebras in V ◦ S.
