Norms and Traces MAT4250 — Høst 2013 Norms and Traces Norms and traces MAT4250 — Høst 2013 Norms and traces Version 0.2 — 10. september 2013 klokken 09:55 We start by recalling a few facts from linear algebra that will be very useful for us, and we shall do it over a general base field K (of any characteristic). Assume that V is afinitedimensionalvectorspaceoverK.Toanylinearoperatorφ: V V there are ! associated two polynomials, both in a canonical way. Firstly, there is the characteristic polynomial Pφ(t), which is, as we know, defined by Pφ(t)=det(t id φ). It is a monic polynomial whose degree n equals the dimension · − dimK V .TwoofthecoefficientsofPφ(t) play a special prominent role, the trace and the determinant. They are up to sign, respectively the coefficient of the subdominant term and the constant term of the characteristic polynomial Pφ(t): n n 1 n P (t)=t tr φt − + +( 1) det φ φ − ··· − Secondly, there is the minimal polynomial of φ.Itisdefinedasthemonicgenerator of the annihilator of φ,thatisthemonicgeneratoroftheidealIφ = f(t) K[t] { 2 | f(φ)=0 . The two polynomials arise in very different ways, but they are intimately } related. The Cayley-Hamilton theorem states that Pφ(φ)=0,sothecharacteristic polynomial of φ belongs to the ideal Iφ,andtheminimalpolynomialdividesthecha- racteristic polynomial. In general they are different. For example, the degree of the characteristic poly is always equal to dimK V ,butthedegreeoftheminimalpolycan be anything between one and dimK V (degree one occurring for scalar multiples of the identity map). We often will work over extensions ⌦ of the base field K.AvectorspaceV and alinearoperatorφ may accordingly be extended as the tensor products V K ⌦ and ⌦ φ idK .Ifv1,...,vn is a basis for V ,thenv1 1,...,vn 1 will be a basis for V K ⌦— ⌦ ⌦ ⌦ ⌦ the only thing that changes, is that we are allowed to use elements from ⌦ as coefficients. The matrix of the map φ id in the basis v1 1,...,vn 1 is identical to the matrix of ⌦ ⌦ ⌦ φ in the basis v1,...,vn. Hence the characteristic polynomial does not change when we extend the base field, neither does the minimal polynomial. However the factorizations of these polynomials may change, e.g., φ might have more eigenvaluews in ⌦ than in K.If⌦ is a splitting field for Pφ(t),boththecharacteristicandtheminimalpolynomial factor as a products of linear terms, the roots being the eigenvalues of φ. Suppose now K L is a finite field extension; that is, L is a field containing K which ✓ is of finite dimension [K : L] as a vector space over K.Atypicalsituationbeingan algebraic number field which by definition is a finite extension of the fied Q of rational numbers. Multiplication by an element ↵ K is of course a K-linear map which we denote 2 by ⇢↵ : L L, i.e., ⇢↵ acts as x ↵x. The determinant of this linear map we call ! 7! the norm of ↵ over K and write NL/K (↵).Itstracewecallthetrace of ↵ over K and it is denoted trL/K (↵) . The norm is multiplicative and the trace is additive,justasfor linear maps—in fact, the trace is even K-linear.

  • Quantizations of Regular Functions on Nilpotent Orbits 3
    QUANTIZATIONS OF REGULAR FUNCTIONS ON NILPOTENT ORBITS IVAN LOSEV Abstract. We study the quantizations of the algebras of regular functions on nilpo- tent orbits. We show that such a quantization always exists and is unique if the orbit is birationally rigid. Further we show that, for special birationally rigid orbits, the quan- tization has integral central character in all cases but four (one orbit in E7 and three orbits in E8). We use this to complete the computation of Goldie ranks for primitive ideals with integral central character for all special nilpotent orbits but one (in E8). Our main ingredient are results on the geometry of normalizations of the closures of nilpotent orbits by Fu and Namikawa. 1. Introduction 1.1. Nilpotent orbits and their quantizations. Let G be a connected semisimple algebraic group over C and let g be its Lie algebra. Pick a nilpotent orbit O ⊂ g. This orbit is a symplectic algebraic variety with respect to the Kirillov-Kostant form. So the algebra C[O] of regular functions on O acquires a Poisson bracket. This algebra is also naturally graded and the Poisson bracket has degree −1. So one can ask about quantizations of O, i.e., filtered algebras A equipped with an isomorphism gr A −→∼ C[O] of graded Poisson algebras. We are actually interested in quantizations that have some additional structures mir- roring those of O. Namely, the group G acts on O and the inclusion O ֒→ g is a moment map for this action. We want the G-action on C[O] to lift to a filtration preserving action on A.

This article provides definitions and examples upon an integral element of unital commutative rings. An algebraic number is also treated as consequence of a concept of “integral”. Definitions for an integral closure, an algebraic integer and a transcendental numbers [14], [1], [10] and [7] are included as well. As an application of an algebraic number, this article includes a formal proof of a ring extension of rational number field Q induced by substitution of an algebraic number to the polynomial ring of Q[x] turns to be a field.

  • Notes on Ring Theory
    Notes on Ring Theory by Avinash Sathaye, Professor of Mathematics February 1, 2007 Contents 1 1 Ring axioms and definitions. Definition: Ring We define a ring to be a non empty set R together with two binary operations f,g : R × R ⇒ R such that: 1. R is an abelian group under the operation f. 2. The operation g is associative, i.e. g(g(x, y),z)=g(x, g(y,z)) for all x, y, z ∈ R. 3. The operation g is distributive over f. This means: g(f(x, y),z)=f(g(x, z),g(y,z)) and g(x, f(y,z)) = f(g(x, y),g(x, z)) for all x, y, z ∈ R. Further we define the following natural concepts. 1. Definition: Commutative ring. If the operation g is also commu- tative, then we say that R is a commutative ring. 2. Definition: Ring with identity. If the operation g has a two sided identity then we call it the identity of the ring. If it exists, the ring is said to have an identity. 3. The zero ring. A trivial example of a ring consists of a single element x with both operations trivial. Such a ring leads to pathologies in many of the concepts discussed below and it is prudent to assume that our ring is not such a singleton ring. It is called the “zero ring”, since the unique element is denoted by 0 as per convention below. Warning: We shall always assume that our ring under discussion is not a zero ring.

  • On Finiteness Conjectures for Endomorphism Algebras of Abelian Surfaces
    ON FINITENESS CONJECTURES FOR ENDOMORPHISM ALGEBRAS OF ABELIAN SURFACES NILS BRUIN, E. VICTOR FLYNN, JOSEP GONZALEZ,´ AND VICTOR ROTGER Abstract. It is conjectured that there exist only finitely many isomorphism classes of endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties of bounded dimension over a number field of bounded degree. We explore this conjecture when restricted to quaternion endomorphism algebras of abelian surfaces of GL2- type over Q by giving a moduli interpretation which translates the question into the diophantine arithmetic of Shimura curves embedded in Hilbert surfaces. We address the resulting problems on these curves by local and global methods, including Chabauty techniques on explicit equations of Shimura curves. 1. Introduction Let A/K be an abelian variety defined over a number field K. For any field extension L/K, let EndL(A) denote the ring of endomorphisms of A defined over 0 L and EndL(A) = EndL(A) ⊗ Q. A conjecture, which may be attributed to Robert Coleman1, asserts the following. Conjecture C(e, g): Let e, g ≥ 1 be positive integers. Then, up to isomorphism, there exist only finitely many rings O over Z such that EndL(A) 'O for some abelian variety A/K of dimension g and a field extension L/K of a number field K of degree [K : Q] ≤ e. The conjecture holds in dimension 1: by the theory of complex multiplication, if E/K is an elliptic curve and L/K is an extension of number√ fields, then EndL(E) is either Z or an order O in an imaginary quadratic√ field Q( −d) such that the ring class field HO attached to O is contained in K( −d).

Textbook here is http://wstein.org/books/ant/ant.pdf 2 Number Rings (continued) (2.1) We have shown that for a number field K the algebraic integers OK form a ring. Definition 1. An order is a subring O ⊂ OK such that OK =O is finite. The ring of integers is said to be the maximal order. Some examples later. (2.2) Having shown that for a number field K the algebraic integers OK form a ring we should answer some natural questions: 1. Is OK torsion-free? Of course, since K is. 2. Is OK a finite Z-module? We know that every Z[α] ⊂ OK is finite over Z and the question is whether OK is generated by finitely many algebraic integers. 3. A finite Z-module is just a finitely generated abelian group and once we show that OK is finite over Z ∼ d and torsion-free we deduce that OK = Z for d = rank(OK ). What is this rank? 4. Can we find generators for OK as a Z-module? (2.3) p p Example 2.

  • Pure Subrings of Commutative Rings
    Nagoya Math. J., 221(1) (2016), 33{68 DOI 10.1017/nmj.2016.2 PURE SUBRINGS OF COMMUTATIVE RINGS S. CHAKRABORTY, R. V. GURJAR and M. MIYANISHI Abstract. We study subalgebras A of affine or local algebras B such that A,! B is a pure extension from algebraic and geometric viewpoints. x0. Introduction Let ' : A ! B be a homomorphism of commutative rings. We say that ' is a pure homomorphism, or pure embedding, or pure extension if the canonical homomorphism 'M : M ⊗A A ! M ⊗A B is injective, for any A-module M. This condition implies that ' is injective. Therefore, identifying A with '(A), we often say that A is a pure subring of B, or that B is a pure extension of A. The notion of purity was first raised by Warfield [15]. The associated morphism a' : Spec B ! Spec A is also called a pure morphism of affine schemes. A morphism of schemes p : Y ! X is called a pure morphism if p is an affine morphism, and there exists an affine open covering fUigi2I of X, −1 −1 such that pjp (Ui) : p (Ui) ! Ui is a pure morphism for every i 2 I. The formal properties of pure subalgebras and pure morphisms are summarized in Section1. In this paper, we are interested in pure subalgebras of an affine or local domain. The underlying field k, unless otherwise specified, is always assumed to be algebraically closed and of characteristic 0. Sometimes we also assume k to be the field of complex numbers C to apply results of local analytic algebras.
