• On Selfinjective Artin Algebras Having Generalized Standard Quasitubes 

      [OWP-2010-18] Karpicz, Maciej; Skowroński, Andrzej; Yamagata, Kunio (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010-03-18)
      We give a complete description of the Morita equivalence classes of all connected selfinjective artin algebras for which the Auslander-Reiten quiver admits a family of quasitubes having common composition factors, closed ...
    • Plethysms, replicated Schur functions and series, with applications to vertex operators 

      [OWP-2010-12] Fauser, Bertfried; Jarvis, Peter D.; King, Ronald C. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010-03-14)
      Specializations of Schur functions are exploited to define and evaluate the Schur functions $s_\lambda [\alpha X]$ and plethysms $s_\lambda [\alpha s_\nu(X))]$ for any $\alpha$-integer, real or complex. Plethysms are then ...
    • A series of algebras generalizing the Octonions and Hurwitz-Radon Identity 

      [OWP-2010-10] Morier-Genoud, Sophie; Ovsienko, Valentin (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      We study non-associative twisted group algebras over $(\mathbb{Z}_2)^n$ with cubic twisting functions. We construct a series of algebras that extend the classical algebra of octonions in the same way as the Clifford algebras ...
    • Supertropical linear algebra 

      [OWP-2010-14] Izhakian, Zur; Knebusch, Manfred; Rowen, Louis (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      The objective of this paper is to lay out the algebraic theory of supertropical vector spaces and linear algebra, utilizing the key antisymmetric relation of "ghost surpasses." Special attention is paid to the various ...
    • Supertropical Matrix Algebra III : Powers of Matrices and Generalized Eigenspaces 

      [OWP-2010-20] Izhakian, Zur; Rowen, Louis (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      We investigate powers of supertropical matrices, with special attention to the role of the coefficients of the supertropical characteristic polynomial (especially the supertropical trace) in controlling the rank of a power ...
    • Supertropical semirings and supervaluations 

      [OWP-2010-05] Izhakian, Zur; Knebusch, Manfred; Rowen, Louis (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2010)
      We interpret a valuation $\upsilon$ on a ring $R$ as a map $\upsilon:R \rightarrow M$ into a so called bipotent semiring $M$ (the usual max-plus setting), and then define a supervaluation $\varphi$ as a suitable map into ...
