For any unital separable simple infinite-dimensional nuclear$C$^{∗}-algebra with finitely many extremal traces, we prove that $$ \mathcal{Z} $$ -absorption, strict comparison and property (SI) are equivalent. We also show that any unital separable simple nuclear$C$^{∗}-algebra with tracial rank zero is approximately divisible, and hence is $$ \mathcal{Z} $$ -absorbing.

We construct a new subfactor planar algebra, and as a corollary a new subfactor, with the ‘extended Haagerup’ principal graph pair. This completes the classification of irreducible amenable subfactors with index in the range ( $$ {4},{3} + \sqrt {{3}} $$ ), which was initiated by Haagerup in 1993. We prove that the subfactor planar algebra with these principal graphs is unique. We give a skein-theoretic description, and a description as a subalgebra generated by a certain element in the graph planar algebra of its principal graph. In the skein-theoretic description there is an explicit algorithm for evaluating closed diagrams. This evaluation algorithm is unusual because intermediate steps may increase the number of generators in a diagram. This is the published version ofarXiv:0909.4099 [math.OA].

Let$p$be a prime integer, 1≤$s$≤$r$be integers and$F$be a field of characteristic different from$p$. We find upper and lower bounds for the essential$p$-dimension ed_{$p$}( $$ Al{{g}_{{{{p}^r},{{p}^s}}}} $$ ) of the class $$ Al{{g}_{{{{p}^r},{{p}^s}}}} $$ of central simple algebras of degree$p$^{$r$}and exponent dividing$p$^{$s$}. In particular, we show that ed($Alg$_{8,2})=ed_{2}($Alg$_{8,2})=8 and ed_{$p$}( $$ Al{{g}_{{{{p}^2},p}}} $$ )=$p$^{2}+$p$for$p$odd.

Let R be a ring. R is called a quasi-Frobenius (QF) ring if R is right artinian and RR is an injective right R-module. In this article, we introduce (weak) fuzzy homomorphisms of modules to obtain a fuzzy characterization of QF rings. We also obtain some fuzzy characterizations of right artinian rings and right CF rings. These results throw new light on the research of QF rings and the related CF conjecture.

The Faith-Menal conjecture is one of the three main open conjectures on QF rings. It says that every right noetherian and left FP-injective ring is QF. In this paper, it is proved that the conjecture is true if every nonzero complement left ideal of the ring R is not small (or not singular). Several known results are then obtained as corollaries.

Extriangulated categories were introduced by Nakaoka and Palu by extracting the similarities between exact categories and triangulated categories. A notion of mutation of subcategories in an extriangulated category is defined in this article. Let $\cal A$ be an extension closed subcategory of an extriangulated category $\C$. Then the quotient category $\cal M:=\cal A/\X$ carries naturally a triangulated structure whenever $(\cal A,\cal A)$ forms an $\X$-mutation pair. This result unifies many previous constructions of triangulated quotient categories, and using it gives a classification of thick triangulated subcategories of pretriangulated category $\C/\X$, where $\X$ is functorially finite in $\C$. When $\C$ has Auslander-Reiten translation $\tau$, we prove that for a functorially finite subcategory $\X$ of $\C$ containing projectives and injectives, $\C/\X$ is a triangulated category if and only if $(\C,\C)$ is $\X-$mutation, and if and only if $\tau \underline{\X}=\overline{\X}.$ This generalizes a result by J{\o}rgensen who proved the equivalence between the first and the third conditions for triangulated categories. Furthermore, we show that for such a subcategory $\X$ of the extriangulated category $\C$, $\C$ admits a new extriangulated structure such that $\C$ is a Frobenius extriangulated category. Applications to exact categories and triangulated categories are given. From the applications we present examples that extriangulated categories are neither exact categories nor triangulated categories.\

In the present paper we prove that Hall polynomial exists for each triple of decomposition sequences which parameterize isomorphism classes of coherent sheaves of a domestic weighted projective line $\mathbb X$ over finite fields. These polynomials are then used to define the generic Ringel--Hall algebra of $\mathbb X$ as well as its Drinfeld double. Combining this construction with a result of Cramer, we show that Hall polynomials exist for tame quivers, which not only refines a result of Hubery, but also confirms a conjecture of Berenstein and Greenstein.

Based on the work of Ringel and Green, one can define the (Drinfeld) double Ringel--Hall algebra ${\mathscr D}(Q)$ of a quiver $Q$ as well as its highest weight modules. The main purpose of the present paper is to show that the basic representation $L(\Lambda_0)$ of ${\mathscr D}(\Delta_n)$ of the cyclic quiver $\Delta_n$ provides a realization of the $q$-deformed Fock space $\bigwedge^\infty$ defined by Hayashi. This is worked out by extending a construction of Varagnolo and Vasserot. By analysing the structure of nilpotent representations of $\Delta_n$, we obtain a decomposition of the basic representation $L(\Lambda_0)$ which induces the Kashiwara--Miwa--Stern decomposition of $\bigwedge^\infty$ and a construction of the canonical basis of $\bigwedge^\infty$ defined by Leclerc and Thibon in terms of certain monomial basis elements in ${\mathscr D}(\Delta_n)$.

In this paper, we present an efficient \GQR\ algorithm for solving the linear response eigenvalue problem $\scrH\bx ={\lambda}\bx $, where $\scrH$ is $\bPi^-$-symmetric with respect to $\Gamma_0 = \diag(I_n,-I_n)$. Based on newly introduced $\Gamma$-orthogonal transformations, the \GQR\ algorithm preserves the $\bPi^-$-symmetric structure of $\scrH$ throughout the whole process, which guarantees the computed eigenvalues to appear pairwise $(\lambda,-\lambda)$ as they should. With the help of a newly established implicit $\Gamma$-orthogonality theorem, we incorporate the implicit multi-shift technique to accelerate the convergence of the \GQR\ algorithm. Numerical experiments are given to show the effectiveness of the algorithm.
