Abstracts

Self-dual codes over Fq[u]/(ut)Ricardo AlfaroUniversity of Michigan-Flint, USA

Two characterizations of self-dual codes over Fq[u]/(ut) are determined in terms of linearcodes over Fq. An algorithm to produce such self-dual codes is also established.

On Moore’s conjecture: overview and some new resultsEli AljadeffTechnion-Israel Institute of Technology, Israel

A theorem of J.P. Serre (1969) says that if Γ is a torsion free group and H is a subgroup offinite index then they have the same cohomological dimension.

In 1976 J. Moore posed a conjecture which is a far reaching generalization of Serre’s theorem:If Γ is torsion free and H is a subgroup of finite index then the projective dimension of anyZΓ-module M coincides with the projective dimension of M as a module over ZH. In particular(and in fact equivalently) any ZΓ-module M which is projective over ZH is projective also overZΓ.

The conjecture is known for large families of groups, as solvable groups, linear groups andsome special groups (as the Thompson’s group). In the lecture I will present some old results(joint work with Cornick, Ginosar and Kropholler) together with some recent results (joint workwith Udi Meir).

From trisections in module categories to quasi-directed componentsEdson Ribeiro AlvaresUFPR, Brazil

Joint with Assem, I., Coelho, F.U., Pena, M.I, Trepode, S.We define a special type of trisections in a module category, namely the compact trisections

which characterise quasi-directed components. We apply this notion to the study of laura alge-bras and we use it to define a class of algebras with predictable Auslander-Reiten components.

On partial actions of Hopf algebrasMarcelo Muniz Silva AlvesUFPR, Brazil

Partial group actions on algebras were first studied in the context of operator algebras,but soon enough became an independent topic of interest in ring theory. Partial actions ofHopf algebras were introduced as a natural generalization of partial actions of groups (whichcorrespond, in a certain way, to partial actions of the Hopf algebra kG). In this talk it willbe shown that important results regarding partial group actions also hold in the Hopf case, asthe existence of an enveloping H-module algebra B for a partial H-module algebra A, and of astrict Morita context between the partial smash product A#H and B#H. Results concerningpartial coactions of a Hopf algebra H and will also be presented, as well as some results on theextension AH ⊂ A, where AH is the subalgebra of (partial) invariants of A.

On pointed Hopf algebras with non-abelian groupNicolas AndruskiewitschUniversidad Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina

I will survey recent developments on the classification of finite-dimensional pointed Hopfalgebras with non-abelian group. Concretely, I will describe two main topics:

i) How to attach a generalized root system, or equivalently a Weyl groupoid, to a completelyreducible Yetter-Drinfeld module W . Reference: [AHS]. This is done by looking at the Nicholsalgebra B(W ); I will try to avoid technicalities and concentrate on some applications.

ii) How to show that for a given finite non-abelian group G, there are no finite-dimensionalpointed Hopf algebras with group G. So far, we know that this happens for the alternatinggroups An, n > 6 or n = 5; for some sporadic groups (some of the Mathieu, some of the Janko,the Suzuki group and the Held group); and for a few finite groups of Lie type. References: [AF,AFZ, AFGV1, AFGV2, F, FGV]. This is done by a variety of techniques concerning specialsubracks of the different conjugacy classes of G.

Codigos de controle da paridade e codigos de GoppaJaime Edmundo Apaza RodriguezUNESP, Brazil

Os codigos controle da paridade surgiram no seculo passado como exemplo de uma famılia decodigos detectores de um erro simples. Seu nome provem de um codigo binario que acrescentavaum sımbolo extra para que o numero de uns fosse par. Inicialmente, os codigos detectores ecorretores de erros foram criados usando unicamente conceitos de algebra e teoria dos numeros.Posteriormente, em 1977, V. D. Goppa introduziu uma nova forma de construir codigos linearesusando curvas algebricas definidas sobre corpos finitos. Esses codigos sao conhecidos hoje comoos codigos geometricos de Goppa. Neste trabalho usamos algumas das ideias de Goppa paraconstruir a classe de codigos de controle da paridade e exibimos alguns exemplos. Para issousaremos a tecnica de restricao de um codigo linear, concretamente, a restricao de um codigode Goppa racional.

Spinor class fields for lattices in function fieldsLuis Arenas-CarmonaUniversidad de Chile, Chile

The theory of spinor class fields allows the study of the set of maximal orders in a centralsimple algebra over a number field, or the set of quadratic lattices that are isometric at everycompletion of the number field. We extend this theory to the function field case through theuse os schemes to study how the spinor class field depends on the choice of an affine subset ofa projective curve.

On Cox rings of K3 surfacesMichela ArtebaniUniversidad de Concepcion, Chile

Let X be a smooth projective surface X over C with finitely generated Picard group Pic(X).The Cox ring of X is the graded ring

R(X) =⊕

D∈Pic(X)

H0(X,OX(D)).

It is known that R(X) is a polynomial ring if and only if X is a toric surface [2] and an explicitdescription of the Cox ring is available for Del Pezzo surfaces [3]. In general, it is even difficultto decide if the Cox ring of a surface is finitely generated.

In [1] we investigate Cox rings of K3 surfaces i.e. simply connected compact complex surfaceswith trivial canonical bundle. We prove that the Cox ring of a K3 surface is finitely generatedif and only if its effective cone is polyhedral. Moreover, we compute the Cox ring of some K3surfaces which either have Picard number two or are double covers of rational surfaces. Anexample of both types is the generic K3 surface with Picard lattice isometric to

U(2) =(

0 22 0

).

In this case the Z2-graded Cox ring is:

R(X) ∼=C[a1, a2, b1, b2, c](c2 − f4,4(a, b))

,

where deg(ai) = (1, 0), deg(bi) = (0, 1) and deg(c) = (2, 2).

Cluster-tilted algebras without clustersIbrahim AssemUniversite de Sherbrooke, Canada

This is a report on a work with progress with Thomas Brustle and Ralf Schiffler. We give analgorithm allowing to start from a tilted algebra and construct the transjective component of thecorresponding cluster-tilted. In the Dynkin case, this yields the whole Auslander-Reiten quiver.We also introduce a notion of reflection allowing to obtain all tilted algebras corresponding toa given cluster-tilted.

Partial actions of ordered groupoids on ringsDirceu BaggioUFSM, Brazil

In this joint work with A. Paques and D. Flores we introduce the notion of a partial action ofan ordered groupoid on a ring and we construct the corresponding partial skew groupoid ring.We present sufficient conditions under which the partial skew groupoid ring is either associativeor unital. Also, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between partial actions ofan ordered groupoid G on a ring R, in which the domain of each partial bijection is an ideal,and meet-preserving global actions of the Birget-Rhodes expansion GBR of G on R. Using thiscorrespondence we prove that the partial skew groupoid ring is a homomorphic image of theskew groupoid ring constructed through the Birget-Rhodes expansion.

Questions on towers of function fields motivated by applications in multi-party computationand secret sharingAlp BassaCWI & Leiden University, The Netherlands

In a series of papers, Cascudo, Chen, Cramer and Xing have shown how towers of algebraicfunction fields find applications in the construction of “multi-party computation friendly” secretsharing schemes. In this talk, I will try to outline this connection and discuss some of thequestions about towers, which emerge naturally from it.

Weight of codewords from evaluation codesPeter BeelenTechnical University of Denmark, Denmark

Let F be a finite field and R a finite dimensional F -algebra. Further let Ev : R → Fn

be an isomorphism of F -algebras. Error-correcting codes can be obtained from this setup byevaluating all elements in a linear subspace L of R. Many interesting codes can be describedin this way, such as algebraic geometry codes, generalized Reed-Muller codes and toric codes.In this talk we will investigate the weight of codewords from codes obtained in this way bystudying certain linear operators on R. Also we will show the connection with several otherknown techniques to estimate the weight of a codeword.

Train algebras which satisfy the additional identity (x2 − ω(x)x)2 = 0Antonio BehnUniversidad de Chile, Chile

(Joint work with Irvin Roy Hentzel, Department of Mathematics, Iowa State University.)In the following we assume that A is a commutative algebra over a field F of characteristic

not 2. The principal powers of x ∈ A are defined as follows x1 = x and xn+1 = xnx ∀ n ≥ 1.The plenary powers of an element x ∈ A are defined as x[1] = x and x[n+1] = x[n]x[n] ∀ n ≥ 1.We observe that x[2] = x2.

If A has a non-zero algebra homomorphism ω : A→ F , then the pair (A,ω) is called a baricalgebra. A baric algebra (A,ω) is called a plenary train algebra, if there are scalars γ1, . . . , γr−1

such that every x ∈ A satisfies the following plenary identity of degree 2r−1:

(1) x[r] + γ1ω(x)n1x[r−1] + γ2ω(x)n2x[r−2] · · ·+ γr−1ω(x)nr−1x = 0

where r ≥ 2 and ni = 2r−i−1(2i − 1) for all i ∈ 1, . . . , r − 1.A baric algebra (A,w) is called a principal train algebra if there exist γ1, · · · , γt−1 ∈ K such

that every element x ∈ A satisfies the equation

(2) xn + γ1ω(x)xn−1 + · · ·+ γn−1ω(x)n−1x = 0

In recent work with Prof. I.R. Hentzel we consider plenary train algebras of arbitrary rank.Given the identity 1

we consider the roots λ1, λ2, . . . , λr of the associative polynomial xr + γ1xr−1 + γ2x

r−2 · · ·+γr−1x. A sufficient condition for the algebra to satisfy the additional identity (x2−w(x)x)2 = 0is that the pairwise products of these roots are all distinct, i.e. λiλj 6= λlλk ∀(i, j) 6= (l, k).

We also show that a train algebra with train identity (1) which satisfies the additional identity(x2 − w(x)x)2 = 0 has an idempotent as long as

r−1∑i=1

(r − i)γi 6= 0.

Another interesting fact is that if A is a commutative algebra which satisfies (x2−w(x)x)2 = 0,then A is principal train if and only if it is plenary train.

If x ∈ A is such that ω(x) = 1, then the subalgebra of A generated by x has a uniqueidempotent, and we can fully characterize its structure.

Almost split sequences for Hopf AlgebrasFernando Araujo BorgesUFPR, Brazil

In this poster we will present results regarding almost-split sequences in the context of groupalgebras kG (following Auslander and Carlson), such as the behaviour of almost-split sequencesunder tensoring by indecomposable modules. We will also present extensions of some of theseresults for Hopf algebras (finite-dimensional, with involutive antipode); for example, if M is aindecomposable H-module, then the trivial module k is a summand of Endk(M) iff tensoring byM the almost-split sequence that ends at the trivial module k gives a non-split sequence. Fol-lowing work of Green, Marcos and Solberg, we present sufficient conditions for these equivalentproperties to hold.

The multi-Frobenius non-classical curvesHerivelto BorgesThe University of Texas at Austin, USA

An irreducible curve F defined over Fq is called q-Frobenius non-classical if the image Fr(P )of each simple point P of F under the Frobenius map lies on the tangent line at P .

Based on [2], Hefez and Voloch extended the study of the q-Frobenius non-classical curves in[1], where some interesting arithmetic and geometric properties of such curves were first pointedout.

In this talk, I will present and characterize all irreducible plane curves defined over Fq whichare simultaneously Frobenius non-classical for different powers of q. Such characterization givesrise to many previously unknown curves which turn out to have some interesting properties.For instance, for n ≥ 3 a plane curve which is both q- and qn-Frobenius non-classical will haveits number of Fqn-rational points attaining the Stohr-Voloch bound.

On numerical semigroups and algebraic codesMaria Bras-AmorosUniversitat Rovira i Virgili, Spain

Given a rational point P of a curve with Weierstrass semigroup Λ = λ0 < λ1 < λ2 < . . . one can find an infinite basis z0, z1, z2, . . . of the ring of functions having poles only at P suchthat vP (zi) = −λi. Consider a set of rational points P1, . . . , Pn different from P . To each finitesubset W ⊆ N0 we associate the one-point code CW =< (zi(P1), . . . , zi(Pn)) : i ∈ W >⊥. Byextension, we say that W is the set of parity checks of CW .

The ν sequence of Λ is defined by νi = #j ∈ N0 : λi − λj ∈ Λ. The minimum set of paritychecks that are needed to correct t errors is given by R(t) = i ∈ N0 : νi < 2t+ 1 [10, 12]. Thecodes determined by R(t) are called Feng–Rao improved codes. The ν sequence is also used todefine the order bound on the minimum distance for one-point codes [9, 13, 12].

We say that the points Pi1 , . . . , Pit (Pij 6= P ) are generically distributed if no function gen-erated by z0, . . . , zt−1 vanishes in all of them. Generic errors are those errors whose non-zeropositions correspond to generically distributed points. Generic errors of weight t can be a verylarge portion of all possible errors of weight t [11]. By restricting the errors to be corrected togeneric errors the decoding requirements become weaker and we are still able to correct almostall errors. The minimum set of parity checks that are needed to correct generic errors of weightt is R∗(t) = i ∈ N0 : λi 6= λj + λk for any j, k ≥ t [7].

We can define a new sequence τ [5] that allows us to describe R∗(t) in terms of τ in asimilar way as how R(t) is described in terms of ν. Then, by studying the increasingness ofτ we can compare the codes determined by R∗(t) with standard codes and by studying therelation between the sequences ν and τ we can compare the codes determined by R∗(t) withthe Feng–Rao improved codes.

We will present some results related to classification [2, 15, 16] and characterization [2, 5]of numerical semigroups from the perspective of algebraic codes and their decoding and someresults and open questions related to counting of numerical semigroups [14, 3, 4, 6, 8, 1].

Incidence algebrasRosali BrusamarelloUEM, Brazil

Let X = x1, x2, . . . , xn be a finite partially ordered set (poset) and K a field. The incidencealgebra I(X,K) is the K-algebra which has basis elements labelled Eij for each i, j for whichxi ≤ xj and has multiplication defined via

EijEkl =

Eil if j = k

0 if j 6= k

(i.e., the K-vector space with basis Eij with xi ≤ xj and the multiplication defined as above).Since X is finite, we can always label the elements of X in such way that xi ≤ xj implies i ≤ j,then I(X,K) can be identify with a subalgebra of the upper triangular matrices UTn(K).

These algebras were introduced in the 1960s by G.-C. Rota and R.P. Stanley, two famouscombinatorialists. From then on there have been many articles on these kinds of algebras,sometimes called structural matrix algebras, and the results are somewhat scattered in theliterature.

In this talk we will collect some of this results in order to answer the following naturalquestions.

(I) To what extent does I(X,K) determines the set X?(II) When does Z(I(X,K)) = K? That is, when is I(X,K) a central K-algebra?(III) Can we describe the group Aut(I(X,K))? Are there cases when every automorphism

of I(X,K) is inner?(IV) When does I(X,K) admit anti-automorphisms and involutions?

We will also present some new material on involutions. This talk is based on a joint workwith Prof. David W. Lewis.

Free field realizations of the elliptic affine Lie algebrasAndre Bueno

Let E be an affine complex elliptic curve with two points removed. Here, the elliptic affineLie algebra associated with E is the (three-dimensional) universal central extension of sl(2, R),where R is the ring of global sections of E. In this talk we show how to construct two free fieldrealizations of the elliptic affine Lie algebra of E. The first realization provides an analogue ofWakimoto’s construction for Affine Kac-Moody algebras, but in the setting of the elliptic affineLie algebra. The second one gives a new type of representations analogous to Imaginary Vermamodules in the affine setting. This is a joint work with B. Cox and V. Futorny.

Classification of irreducible non-dense modules for A(2)2

Thomas BunkeIME-USP, Brazil

Let g be an affine Kac-Moody algebra with Cartan subalgebra h, root system ∆ and center Cc.A g-module V is called a weight if V =

⊕λ∈h∗ Vλ, Vλ = v ∈ V | hv = λ (h) v for all h ∈ h∗.

If V is an irreducible weight g-module then c acts on V as a scalar, called level of V . For aweight g-module V , the support is the set supp (V ) = λ ∈ h∗ | Vλ 6= 0. The root lattice Q isthe free abelian group over ∆. If V is irreducible then supp (V ) ⊂ λ + Q for some λ ∈ h∗. Anirreducible weight g-module V is called non-dense, if supp (V ) ( λ+Q,

This work contains the classification of irreducible non-dense modules for the Kac-Moodyalgebra A

(2)2 with at least one finite-dimensional weight subspace. The classification for non-

dense irreducible A(1)1 -modules with a finite-dimensional weight subspace has been done by V.

Futorny [1]. The classification problem is also solved for all affine Kac-Moody algebras fornon-zero level modules with all finite-dimensional weight subspaces (V. Futorny and A. Tsylke[2]). In these cases an irreducible module is either a quotient of a classical Verma module, orof a generalized Verma module, or of a loop module (induced from a Heisenberg subalgebra).That this will hold for all irreducible non-dense modules of affine Kac-Moody algebras hasbeen conjectured by V. Futorny [6]. With this work we confirm the conjecture for non-denseirreducible A(2)

2 -modules with a finite-dimensional weight subspace.We also obtain a classification of all possible supports for irreducible A(2)

2 -modules. The proofis elementary and involves only the combinatorics of the root system.

Interaction of Koszul and Ringel dualitiesPaula Andrea Cadavid SalazarIME-USP, Brazil

Joint work with Eduardo do Nascimento Marcos.In the theory of quasi-hereditary algebras there are two classical dualities: the Ringel duality,

associated with the characteristic tilting module, and the Koszul duality, associated with thecategory of linear complexes of projective modules. In [1, 2] it is shown that a certain classof Koszul quasi-hereditary algebras is stable with respect to taking of both Koszul and Ringelduals and that on this class of algebras the Koszul and Ringel dualities commute. In this posterwe present and discuss these results.

On the cohomology ring of truncated quiver algebrasLeandro CaglieroFaMAF - CONICET, Argentina

By results of Cibils and Locateli it is well known that the even cohomology ring of truncatedquiver algebras over a field of characteristic zero (TQA’s) is described by certain special classof parallel paths called medals.

It is also known that, for TQA’s, the cup product of odd-degree cohomology classes is zero.Therefore the medals play a central role in the study of the structure of the cohomology ringof a TQA.

In this talk we present a joint work with Paulo Tirao in which we give a complete descriptionof the set of medals of a given quiver. This description allows us to determine the structureof the cohomology ring for a large family of TQA’s whose cup product is not zero. We thinkthat we will be able to obtain a condition on the quiver Q and on the integer N in order todetermine whether the TQA associated to Q and N has a non-trivial cohomology ring.

Jacobians with complex multiplicationAngel CaroccaPUC-Chile, Chile

Joint work with Herbert Lange and Rubı E. Rodrıguez.We construct and study two series of curves whose Jacobians admit complex multiplication.

The curves arise as quotients of Galois coverings of the projective line with Galois group meta-cyclic groups Gq,3 of order 3q with q ≡ 1 mod 3 an odd prime, and Gm of order 2m+1. Thecomplex multiplications arise as quotients of double coset algebras of the Galois groups of thesecoverings. We work out the CM-types and show that the Jacobians are simple abelian varieties.

Weierstrass semigroups at several points and generalized Hamming weightsCicero CarvalhoUFU, Brazil

The Weierstrass semigroup at several points is a natural generalization of the well-knownWeierstrass semigroup at a point. Its systematic study started with papers by Homma andKim in mid 90’s, and since then it has been studied by many authors. In this talk we intendto present several results on this semigroup and also some results from an ongoing work on anapplication of this semigroup to the construction of Goppa codes which have lower bounds fortheir generalized Hamming weights better than the usual bound.

Freely connected algebraDiane CastonguayUFG, Brazil

In this talk, we consider A to be a triangular algebra. To each bound quiver (Q, I) of A,one can define an homotopy relation which lead to the definition of the fundamental group ofthe bound quiver. This group also can be related to a Galois covering of the bound quiver andthus of the algebra. In this talk, we present the quiver of homotopy of an algebra as defined byP. Le Meur in [M06] together with some of the results of this work. Using this technique, weshow that a monomial algebra (that is an algebra who admits a bound quiver where the ideal isgenerated by paths) without double arrows is freely connected. An algebra is freely connected ifall its associated fundamental groups are free groups. Some known examples of freely connectedalgebras are the simply connected algebras and the finite representation type algebra.

Conjugacy separability and commensurabilitySheila Campos ChagasUFAM, Brazil

A group G is called conjugacy separable if whenever x and y are non-conjugate elements of G,there exists some finite quotient of G in which the images of x and y are non-conjugate.

Several results(obtained jointly with Pavel Zalesskii) when it holds and examples of groups not satisfying thisproperty will be presented.

Fix a stable curve C of compact type. For each integer d ≥ 1 we contruct two degree-dAbel maps for C having different target spaces and we compare the fibers of both maps. Asan application we get an characterization of stable hypereliptic curves of compact type havingonly two components.

This is a joint work with Marco Pacini (UFF).

Further examples of maximal curvesLuciane Quoos ConteUFRJ, Brazil

(Joint work with Miriam Abdon and Juscelino Bezerra.)We show that the non-singular model of the curve X (q;n) defined over Fq2n , with n ≥ 3 an

odd integer, by the affine equation:

yq2 − y = x

qn+1q+1 ,

is maximal. These curves have an interesting feature: the curve X (3; 3) is not Galois-covered bythe Hermitian curve, in contrast to the curve X (2;n) which is Galois-covered by the Hermitiancurve ([1], [2], [3]). We also explore the family of maximal curves Xb given over Fq2n by theaffine equation:

yN = −xb(x+ 1), 1 ≤ b ≤ N − 1,where N is an odd divisor of qn + 1, and gcd(N ; b) = gcd(N ; b+ 1) = 1. Explicit isomorphismsbetween them are found.

Classifying indecomposable RA LoopsMariana CornelissenUFSJ, Brazil

In this work, we will provide a complete classification of finitely-generated indecomposablegroups which quotient by its center is isomorphic to the direct product of two cyclic groups ofprime order p. Applying this result for the case p = 2, we will classify all the finitely-generatedindecomposable RA loops, further generalizing the classification done in 1995, by Eric Jespers,Guilherme Leal and Cesar Polcino Milies for the finite case.

On partial skew Armendariz ringsWagner CortesUFRGS, Brazil

In this work we consider rings R with a partial action α of an infinite cyclic group G on R. Wewill introduce the concept of partial skew Armendariz rings and partial α-rigid rings. We willobtain that partial α-rigid rings implies partial skew Armendariz rings, the bijection betweenthe set of right annihilator in R and the set of right annihilators in R[x;α] is equivalent to Rbe partial skew Armendariz ring. We study the relationship between Baerness, ascending chaincondition on right annihilators property, right p.p.-property and right zip property between Rand R[x;α] using the concept of a partial skew Armendariz ring. It will be provided exampleswhere partial skew Armendariz, Baerness, quasi-Baerness, p.q.-Baerness and p.p-property donot imply the associativity of partial skew polynomial rings. Moreover, when (R,α) has en-veloping action (T, σ), where σ is an automorphism of T we show if the partial action is of finitetype, then R is either Baer or quasi-Baer or p.q-Baer or p.p. ring if and only if T is either Baeror quasi-Baer or p.q.-Baer or p.p ring.

Modular invariants for group-theoretical modular dataAlexei DavydovUniversity of Sydney, Australia

We classify indecomposable commutative separable (special Frobenius) algebras and theirlocal modules in group-theoretical modular categories. This gives a description of modularinvariants for group-theoretical modular data. As a bi-product we provide an answer to thequestion when (and in how many ways) two group-theoretical modular categories are equivalentas ribbon categories.

On the loop space of a 2-categoryMatias L. del HoyoUBA, Argentina

The construction of nerves and classifying spaces associate geometric objects to categoricalstructures. The relation between categories and the homotopy types of their classifying spaceshas been widely studied, with important applications. Examples of this are Quillen’s devel-opment of higher algebraic K-theory, Thomason’s theorems on homotopy colimits, and Segal’swork on delooping topological spaces that arise from monoidal categories.

In this talk we shall discuss the notions of nerves and classifying spaces for 2-categories. Wealso state sufficient conditions under which the loop space ΩBC of the classifying space of a2-category C can be recover (up to homotopy) as the space B(Hom(x, x)), where x is an objectof C and Hom(x, x) is the category of maps x→ x in C.

This theorem says that taking loops can be done algebraically, and extends in one directionthe results of Segal about monoidal categories.

Invariantes de algebras de grupo parciaisM. DokuchaevIME-USP, Brazil

As representacoes parciais de grupos foram introduzidas em teoria de algebras de operadoresindependentemente por R. Exel [4], e J. C. Quigg e I. Raeburn [5] como uma ferramenta rele-vante no estudo dessas algebras. O estudo algebrico das representacoes parciais foi iniciado em[1]. De modo analogo ao caso das representacoes usuais existe uma algebra, denominada algebrade grupo parcial, que controla as representacoes parciais de grupos. Um resultado estruturalsobre essa algebra foi obtido em [1] no caso de grupos finitos. Isso permite derivar consequenciassobre a estrutura das representacoes parciais de grupos finitos por um lado e, por outro, estudaruma questao natural no contexto de algebras de grupo parciais, a saber, a do Problema do Iso-morfismo: o que podemos dizer sobre os grupos G e H se KparcG ∼= KparcH como K-algebras?Com respeito a esse problema foi provado em [1] que para um domınio K de caracterısticazero, dois grupos abelianos finitos G e H sao isomorfos se e somente se KparcG ∼= KparcH.Um resultado analogo com char K > 0 foi obtido em [2]. Esses resultados mostram eviden-temente a diferenca surpreendente entre a algebra de grupo parcial e a usual, ja que para umgrupo abeliano finito G a algebra de grupo CG sobre os complexos C “lembra” so a ordem de G.

Em [3] obtemos uma lista completa de invariantes, em termos de subgrupos de G e suasK-representacoes, para algebras de grupo parciais de um p-grupo finito G sobre um corpo Kalgebricamente fechado com char K 6= p.

Parametrization of representations of braid groupsClaudia EgeaUniversidad Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina

In these works we give a method to produce representations of the braid group Bn of n− 1generators τ1, . . . , τn−1, (n ≤ ∞). These representations satisfy certain conditions and everyrepresentations which verify these conditions can be obtained by this method.

More specifically, the principal results are the following.Given a 5-tuple (π,X, µ, ν, U), where(1) X is a measurable space,(2) π : Bn → Aut(X) is an action,(3) µ is a π-quasi-invariant measure,(4) ν : X → N ∪ ∞ is a π-invariant measurable function,(5) U : Bn × X → B(H) is a cocycle, where H =

∫X Hxdµ(x) is a direct integral Hilbert

space associated to (X,µ, ν), (that is ν(x) = dim(Hx) for almost all x ∈ X)then we can construct a non unitary representation φ = φ(π,X,µ,ν,U) of Bn.

Moreover, if the cocycle U verifies that the operator U(τk, x) of Hx is diagonal, for almostall x ∈ X and for all k, 1 ≤ k ≤ n− 1, then φ(π,X,µ,ν,U) satisfies the following properties, for allk, j, 1 ≤ j, k ≤ n− 1,

(a) ψ(τk)ψ(τk)∗ has discrete spectral decomposition;(b) [ψ(τk)ψ(τk)∗, ψ(τj)ψ(τj)∗] = 0;(c) ψ(τk)Pψ(τk)−1 ∈ N , for all projection P ∈ N , where N is the von Neumann algebra

generated byF = ψ(τk)ψ(τk)∗ : k = 1, . . . , n− 1

Conversely, given a representations ρ of Bn which satisfies (a), (b) and (c), then there existsa 5-tuple (π,X, µ, ν, U) such that ρ is equivalent to φ(π,X,µ,ν,U).

Furthermore, we obtain conditions for these representations to be irreducible. If φ(π,X,µ,ν,U)

is a self-adjoint, µ is ergodic, ν(x) = 1 for all x ∈ X, and U is not constant, then φ(π,X,µ,ν,U) isan irreducible representation.

Units in U(ZCp)Raul FerrazIME-USP, Brazil

Let Z be the ring of rational integers, p be a prime, Cp be the (cyclic) group of order p andU(ZCp) be the group of units of the integral group ring of Cp. It is known that U(ZCp) canbe writen as the direct product of ±Cp and a free abelian subgroup of finite rank of U(ZCp).In this work we give a multiplicatively independent subset of U(ZCp), which generates a directfactor to ±Cp in U(ZCp), for p less than or equal to 67.

Relative invariant theoryWalter FerrerUniversidad de La Republica, Uruguay

We continue with the development of a relative viewpoint in geometric invariant theory. Inparticular we prove that if an algebra group acts in a linearly reductive way on an affine variety,then the variety can be split as a product of the unipotent radical of the group with an affinevariety where the action is given by the action by a reductive group. The study of the actionof the original group on the unipotent radical, is given by a twisting of the conjugation action.The study of this twisting seems to be crucial in order to understand the new features providedby a relative reductive action.

Partial actions on semiprime rings: GlobalizationMiguel FerreroUFRGS, Brazil

In this talk we find conditions under which a partial action of a group on a semiprime ring,which does not necessarily have an identity element, has an enveloping action. In the case thisenveloping action does exist it is also semiprime and is unique unless equivalence. In particular,if the semiprime ring has an identity element we recover the well-known result on the existenceof an enveloping action formerly obtained by M. Dokuchaev and R. Exel.

Polynomial identities for graded tensor products of algebrasJose Antonio O. FreitasUNICAMP, Brazil

Joint work with Plamen Koshlukov.According to Kemer’s theory the T-prime algebras are fundamental in describing the T-

ideals in characteristic 0. Recall that A is T-prime if its T-ideal is prime inside the class ofthe T-ideals in K(X). Such T-ideals are called T-prime as well. Kemer proved that the onlyT-prime T-ideals in characteristic 0 are 0, K(X), T (Mn(K)), T (Mn(E)), and T (Mk,l). HereMn(K) and Mn(E) are the full matrix algebra over K and over the Grassmann algebra E,

respectively. Further Mk,l is the subalgebra of Mk+l(E) that consists of all matrices(u vw t

)where u ∈ Mk(E0), t ∈ Ml(E0), v ∈ Mk×l(E1), w ∈ Ml×k(E1). Kemer proved that the tensorproduct of any two T-prime algebras is PI equivalent to a T-prime algebra.Kemer’s Theorem Let charK = 0. ThenMa,b ⊗ E ∼Ma+b(E); Ma,b ⊗Mc,d ∼Mac+bd,ad+bc; M1,1 ∼ E ⊗ E.The remaining tensor products of T-prime algebras from the list above yield isomorphisms.One of the first and most important results in the combinatorial PI theory was Regev’s

A ⊗ B theorem: the tensor product of two PI algebras is still a PI algebra. Regev’s theoremhas motivated a lot of research on PI algebras.

Another kind of a tensor product, is the Z2-graded one. Assume A and B are Z2-graded,A = A0 ⊕A1 and B = B0 ⊕B1. The Z2-graded tensor product A⊗B of A and B is the vectorspace A ⊗ B with the multiplication (a1⊗b1)(a2⊗b2) = (−1)|b1||a2|a1a2⊗b1b2 for ai ∈ A0 ∪ A1,bi ∈ B0 ∪ B1. Here if a ∈ A0 ∪ A1 is a homogeneous element we denote by |a| its Z2-degree.Regev and Seeman proved the analog of the A⊗B theorem when one replaces the tensor productby the graded one. They studied the PI equivalence of graded tensor products, and conjecturedthat the graded tensor product of two T-prime algebras is PI equivalent to another T-primealgebra in characteristic 0. They proved several cases of such equivalences.

We worked with the remaining cases and thus confirm Regev and Seeman’s conjecture. Weshow that in positive characteristic one cannot expect such a behaviour from the graded tensorproduct as in characteristic 0. More precisely we prove that whenever charK = 0 one hasT (Mk,l⊗E) = T (Mk+l(E)) and T (Mk,l⊗Mr,s) = T (Mp,q) where p = kr + ls, q = ks + lr,exactly the same behaviour as in the case of ungraded tensor products. If charK = p > 2 weprove that T (M2(E)) ⊂ T (M1,1⊗E), a proper inclusion.

Quantum groups and Hopf algebrasGaston Andres GarcıaUniversidad Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina

We will introduce the notion of quantum group and we will show its relation with Hopfalgebras, and in particular with the classification problem of finite-dimensional Hopf algebrasover an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.

The quantum groups, introduced in 1986 by Drinfeld [Dr], form a certain class of Hopfalgebras. They can be presented as deformations in one or more parameters of associativealgebras related to linear algebraic groups or semisimple Lie algebras.

One of the main open problems in the theory of Hopf algebras is the classification of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The firstobstruction in solving the classification is the lack of enough examples. Hence, it is necessaryto find new families of Hopf algebras. From the beginning, this role was played by the quantumgroups. They consists of a large family with different structural properties and were used withprofit to solve the classification problem for fixed dimensions.

After defining quantum groups and Hopf algebras, we will give some basic examples and wewill study properties that characterize the known quantum groups. Finally, we will show howthey get into the scene of the classification problem of Hopf algebras of dimension p3 and ingeneral, of pointed Hopf algebras with abelian coradical.

Grassmann codes and their relativesSudhir R. GhorpadeIndian Institute of Technology Bombay, India

Grassmann codes are linear error correcting codes associated to Grassmann varieties overfinite fields with their natural Plucker embedding. The study of these codes goes back toRyan (1987) and has been of much recent interest. A number of extensions and variants ofGrassmann codes, such as Schubert codes, codes associated to flag varieties, and most recently,affine Grassmann codes, have been considered. It is seen that questions motivated by codingtheory concerning these codes also give rise to interesting problems and results concerning thegeometry of Grassmann varieties and their linear sections, combinatorics of hypergraphs, andmultilinear algebra of exterior powers of finite dimensional vector spaces.

In this talk, we shall give an overview of some of the known results and open questionsconcerning Grassmann codes and their relatives. This will include parts of our joint work with(i) G. Lachaud, (ii) M. A. Tsfasman, (iii) A. R. Patil and H. K. Pillai, (iv) T. Johnsen, and (v)P. Beelen and T. Høholdt.

(1) (x ∗ z) ∗ (y ∗ z) = x ∗ yOur purpose is construct a quasigroup (L, ∗) starting from a Moufang loop (L, .) instead ofthe group G. First, we have to find an identity similar to (1), which we call the FundamentalIdentity (2). Then we consider the inverse problem: given a quasigroup (H, ∗) satisfying (2),can we define another operation so that (H, ) is a Moufang loop? If not, what propertiesdoes (H, ) satisfy? In this work I used program Prover9.

OCHA is the homotopy algebra of open-closed strings. It can be defined as a sequence ofmultilinear operations on a pair of DG spaces satisfying certain relations which include the L∞relations in one space and the A∞ relations in the other. In this paper we show that the OCHAstructure is intrinsic to the tensor product of the symmetric and tensor coalgebras. We alsoshow how an OCHA can be obtained from A∞-extesions and define the universal envelopingA∞-algebra of an OCHA as an A∞-extension of the universal enveloping of its L∞ part by itsA∞ part.

On the number of points of a plane curve over a finite fieldMasaaki HommaKanagawa University, Japan

Joint work with Seon Jeong Kim.In the paper [7], Sziklai posed a conjecture on the number of points of a plane curve over a

finite field. Let C be a plane curve of degree d over Fq without an Fq-linear component. Thenhe conjectured that the number of Fq-points Nq(C) of C would be at most (d− 1)q+ 1. But hehad overlooked the known example of a curve of degree 4 over F4 with 14 points ([6], [1]). Sowe must modify this conjecture.

Modified Sziklai’s Conjecture. Unless C is a curve over F4 which is projectively equivalentto(3) X4 + Y 4 + Z4 +X2Y 2 + Y 2Z2 + Z2X2 +X2Y Z +XY 2Z +XY Z2 = 0

over F4, we might have

(4) Nq(C) ≤ (d− 1)q + 1.

This conjecture makes sense only if 2 ≤ d ≤ q+ 1 because the conjectural bound exceeds theobvious bound Nq(C) ≤ #P2(Fq) = q2 + q + 1 if d ≥ q + 2.

In [3], we proved the inequality

Nq(C) ≤ (d− 1)q + (q + 2− d),

which guarantees the truth of the conjecture for d = q+ 1, and presented an example of a curveof degree q + 1 having q2 + 1 Fq-points. Moreover, we observed that if a curve of degree 4 overF4 has more than 13 F4-points, then this curve is projectively equivalent to the curve (1) overF4.

Recently we have found two facts concerning this conjecture. The first one is that theinequality (2) holds if d = q > 4, and for each q, there exists a nonsingulsr curve of degree qover Fq with (q− 1)q+ 1 rational points. Note that the truth of the inequality (2) for d = q = 3is classical [4], and it is well known for d = q = 2. The second one is that (2) holds if the curveC is nonsingular of degree d ≤ q − 1, which is an easy cosequence of results of Stohr - Voloch[5] and Hefez - Voloch [2]. Therefore, together with our previous results, the following theoremhas been established.

Theorem. The modified Sziklai’s conjecture is true for nonsingular curves. Moreover there isan example of a nonsingular curve for which equality holds in (2) for d = q + 2, q + 1, q, q −1,√q + 1(when q is square), and 2.

Exceptional sequences, braid groups and clustersKiyoshi IgusaBrandeis University, USA

Auslander Reiten quivers of type An and Bn can be viewed as braid diagrams and clustermutations can be seen as homotopies of these braids. These are examples of more generaltheorems about the “dual braid monoid” and exceptional sequences proved by Bessis, Brady-Watt, Ingalls-Thomas and myself with Ralf Schiffler. I will use the Orlik-Solomon algebra tointerpret some of the well-known results about cluster combinatorics in types An and Bn interms of the cohomology of the corresponding braid groups.

Group algebras satisfying certain homological properties - A surveySurender K. JainOhio University, USA

The purpose of this talk is to give various homological properties of group algebras beginningwith classical result of Cconnell, Renault and others on self–injectivity. The group algebra ofan infinite dihedral group over a field of characteristic different from 2 is not self-injective buthas an important property possessed by self-injectve algebras, namely that each complementright or left ideal is a direct summand of the algebra. Such algebras are known in the literatureas CS algebras. We will also discuss other properties of self-injectve group algebras like vonNeumann continuity and quasi-continuity. We will talk about an interesting result on primeCS group algebras of polycyclic-by-finite groups that such groups are either infinite dihedralgroups or torsion-free abelian groups. We will talk about a semiprime CS group algebra KGof a polycyclic-by-finite group which are hereditary and if the field is algebraically closed fieldK, then this group algebra is a direct sum of matrix rings over the group algebra KN , whereN is either infinite dihedral group or Z. We will also talk about the question as to when asemilocal group algebra KG is continuous? Complete answer is known in some cases whichinclude when G is nilpotent. It is open, for example, when G is solvable. Another question thatis of interest is: whether a CS group algebra of a locally finite group over rationals is artinian(this algebra is von-Neumann regular)? We will close with the question as to when a generalizedgroup algebra L1(G,A) of a locally compact group G over a Banach algebra A with identity isright self-injective.The corresponding question regarding self-injectvity of L2(G) which is alsoof interest to those in Harmonic Analysis remains open.

Decomposability criterion for coherent sheavesMarcos JardimUNICAMP, Brazil

Using the theory of representations of quivers, we describe a topological criterion for thedecomposability of coherent sheaves on projective varieties. As an application, we provide anew proof of Grothendieck’s Theorem and show when a Steiner bundle on a projective space isdecomposable.

Representation type of the universal enveloping algebras of alternative algebrasIryna KashubaIME-USP, Brazil

This a joint work with I. Shestakov. The talk is devoted to the problem of the classificationof indecomposable alternative bimodules over finite dimensional alternative algebras.

We assume the base field k to be algebraically closed and of characteristic 6= 2, 3. Recall,that for an alternative algebra A the category A-bimod of k-finite dimensional A-bimodulesis equivalent to the category U-mod of (left) finitely dimensional modules over an associativealgebra U = U(A), which is called the universal enveloping algebra of A. If A has finitedimension the algebra U is finite dimensional as well. It allows us to apply to the category A-bimod all the machinery developed in the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras. Inparticular, in accordance with the representation type of the algebra U one can define alternativealgebras of the finite, tame and wild representation types. As in the case of associative algebrathe distinction of the objects of finite and tame representation type is an interesting problem,especially because in these cases we can obtain a complete classification of finite dimensionalbimodules over A.

We introduce two new notions for alternative algebras: a diagram and a tensor algebra ofa module, which prove to be very useful. In particular, we give a classification in the case ofalgebras with radical square zero. The results obtained are similar to the corresponding classicalresults for associative algebras.

Homology (of) Hopf algebrasChristian KasselUniversite de Strasbourg and CNRS, France

In joint work with Julien Bichon (arXiv:0807.1651) we answered the question of finding asuitable homology theory for arbitrary Hopf algebras; namely we associate to each Hopf algebraH two commutative Hopf algebras H1(H) and H2(H) in such a way that, if H is the algebra ofa group G, then Hi(H) is the algebra of the homology group Hi(G). When H is a cosemisimpleHopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, then H1(H) is the algebra ofthe universal abelian grading group of the category of corepresentations of H. The computationof H1(H) and H2(H) for the Sweedler algebra shows that Hi(H) is not always a group algebra.Therefore, quite surprisingly, the right structure for a homology theory for general Hopf algebrasis not that of a group, but of a commutative Hopf algebra.

Bielliptic Weierstrass pointsTakao KatoYamaguchi University, Japan

Let X be a non-hyperelliptic curve of genus g ≥ 5 over C. X is called bielliptic if X is a two-sheeted covering of an elliptic curve E. Then, there exists an automorphism σ of X, called it bya bielliptic involution, such that X/〈σ〉 is equivalent to E. By the Riemann-Hurwitz relation,it is easy to see that there exist 2g − 2 fixed points of σ. For a fixed point P of σ, by thepull-back of meromorphic functions on E, it is shown that 2k (k = 2, 3, 4, . . . ) are Weierstrassnon-gaps at P . More precisely there are two types Weierstrass gap sequences for fixed points ofelliptic involutions. For convenience, we list up them by their order sequences (of holomorphicdifferentials), instead of the gap sequences :Type Ig: 0, 1, 2, 4, . . . , 2j, . . . , 2g − 6, 2g − 4,Type IIg: 0, 1, 2, 4, . . . , 2j, . . . , 2g − 6, 2g − 2.

The main result of this talk is that the converse is true, namely, the existence of a Weierstrasspoint P ∈ X of Type Ig or Type IIg implies the existence of a bielliptic involution of X and P isa fixed point of the bielliptic involution. After this result, we can call P a bielliptic Weierstrasspoint . For g ≥ 8, this fact was already proved in 1979. Thus, in this talk, we shall give anoutline of the proof of the above result for 5 ≤ g ≤ 7.

As an easy consequence of our result, for instance, we obtain that there does not exist a curveof genus 5 having exactly k Weierstrass points of Type II5 for 21 ≤ k ≤ 23, etc.

Graded identities in Lie algebrasPlamen KoshlukovIMECC-UNICAMP, Brazil

Let K be an infinite field, G an abelian group, and L a G-graded Lie algebra over K. Wediscuss several results concerning the G-graded identities of L.

Assume the characteristic of K different from 2. If L = sl2(K) then there are three naturalnontrivial gradings on L. The first of these is by C2, the cyclic group of order 2, the second isby the integers and is concentrated in −1, 0, 1, and the third is by C2×C2. Recall that if K isalgebraically closed then these are all nontrivial finite abelian gradings on sl2(K). We describethe graded identities in each of the three cases. It turns out the corresponding ideals of gradedidentities are finitely based; we exhibit such bases.

If the characteristic of K is 2 one may consider gl2(K) with its natural grading by C2. Wedescribe the graded identities in this case as well (a joint result with A. Krasilnikov). In contrastwith the above here the ideal of graded identities is not finitely based. In fact we give an explicitconstruction of a just nonfinitely based based variety of C2-graded Lie algebras (in characteristic2). Here we recall that the associative algebra M2(K) admits a finite basis of its C2-gradedidentities even in characteristic 2.

Finally we consider the Lie algebra W1 of the derivations of the polynomial ring in onevariable. This algebra is graded by the integers in a canonical way. We describe its gradedidentities. We exhibit a list of graded identities of degrees 2 and 3 that generate the ideal ofgraded identities of W1. This list is infinite and consists of independent identities. Thereforethe ideal of graded identities of W1 is not finitely based. (These are joint results with J. Freitasand A. Krasilnikov.)

A class of locally nilpotent commutative algebrasAlicia LabraUniversidad de Chile, Chile

Let A be the free commutative (nonassociative) algebra on a finite set t1, . . . , tk of gener-ators.

Let dim[n, k] be the dimension of the subspace of A which is spanned by terms of degree lessthan n. Thus dim[n, k] is the number of distinct monomials of A with degree less than n.

This talk deals with the variety of commutative non associative algebras satisfying the identityL3x + γLx3 = 0, γ ∈ K. In [4] it is proved that if γ = 0, 1 then any finitely generated algebra is

nilpotent. We generalize this result by proving that if γ 6= −1, then any such algebra is locallynilpotent. Our results require characteristic 6= 2, 3. The main result is:

Theorem 1. Any commutative algebra over a field of characteristic 6= 2, 3, satisfying the iden-tity L3

x + γLx3 = 0 with γ 6= 0,±1,±12 is locally nilpotent.

More precisely, any commutative algebra generated by k elements over a field of character-istic 6= 2, 3, satisfying the identity L3

x + γLx3 = 0 with γ 6= 0,±1,±12 is nilpotent of index at

most 24ndim[n,k]+2(n−2), where n is the index of nilpotency of the free commutative algebra on kgenerators satisfying the identity x3 = 0.

We also see the five cases which arose as exceptions in the above Theorem and in the onlycase where the Theorem cannot be extended is γ = −1.

Cox rings of rational surfacesAntonio LafaceUniversidad de Concepcion, Chile

Let X be a smooth rational surface defined over the complex numbers. In this talk I willdiscuss about the finite generation of the Cox ring of X:

R(X) :=⊕

D∈Cl(X)

H0(X,OX(D)).

Let κ := κ(X,−KX) be the anticanonical Kodaira dimension of X; then R(X) is known to befinitely generated if κ = 2 by [2]. I will show that if κ = 1, then R(X) is finitely generated ifand only if the effective cone Eff(X) is polyhedral and will give an idea of how to classify suchsurfaces. This result employes methods of [1]. Moreover, in case κ = 0, I will provide examplesof rational surfaces with polyhedral effective cone and not finitely generated Cox ring.

Coverings of laura algebrasPatrick Le MeurENS Cachan, France

Joint work with I. Assem and J. C. Bustamante.In the eighties, Gabriel and some of his students introduced (Galois) coverings of algebras in

order to classify representation finite algebras. The achievement of this classification is based onthe so-called universal cover of a representation finite algebra. This is a covering of the algebrawhich happens to be Galois with group isomorphic to the fundamental group of the Auslander-Reiten quiver if the algebra is standard. When the representation finite algebra is standard andwhen its universal cover is trivial, the algebra is called simply connected. Buchweitz and Liuproved in 2004 that a standard representation finite algebra is simply connected if and only ifits first Hochschild cohomology group vanishes.

On the other hand, in 2003, Assem and Coelho, and Reiten and Skowronski independentlydefined the class of laura algebras which comprises both representation finite and quasi-tiltedalgebras.

This work is an attempt to generalise to laura algebras the above results of Gabriel’s school onrepresentation finite algebras. We shall see that a laura algebra (with a connecting component)has a covering which happens to be Galois with group isomorphic to the fundamental groupof the connecting component if it is standard. Moreover, a standard laura algebra is simplyconnected if and only if its first Hochschild cohomology group vanishes.

A generalization of the Jacobson radicalThierry Petit LobaoUFBA, Brazil

In this work we discuss a generalization of the concept of quasi-regularity and prove thatit is a radical property according to Divinsky; thus it determines a kind of Kurosh-Amitsurradical, in fact, it generates a whole enumerable family of Jacobson-like radicals: the Jk radicals,with k integer. We study some properties of these radicals such as extensibility (closenessunder extensions), matrix and polynomial extensibility, Amitsur property among others; wealso prove that they contain all nilpotent ideals and are hereditary, so they are supernilpotent.We investigate the representation of these radicals as upper and lower radical classes and tryto localize their position in the lattice of some important radicals as well.

A generalisation of the dual Kummer surfaceVictor Gonzalo Lopez-NeumannUFU, Brazil

For a curve C of genus 2 the notion of divisor in general position is defined. For such acurve, the dual Kummer surface K∗ is the variety parametrizing divisors of degree 3 in generalposition, up to linear equivalence and antipodal involution. It is known that K∗ is birationallyequivalent to K, the Kummer surface belonging to the curve C. We generalize the notion ofdivisor in general position for a hyperelliptic curve of genus g. Then we show that, for such acurve, there is a variety parametrizing the classes of divisors of degree g+ 1 in general position,up to antipodal involution. This is a generalization of the Kummer surface. The main result isthat it is birationally equivalent to the Kummer variety belonging to the curve C.

Chevalley groups and hyperalgebrasTiago MacedoUNICAMP, Brazil

We present some results which relate the algebra of distributions of a Chevalley group andthe so called hyperalgebras. The latter are Hopf algebras obtained by reduction modulo p ofthe Kostant integral form of a simple Lie algebra. Then we try to rebuild algebraic groups fromHopf algebras which are their algebras of distribution.

In this setting the firstgeneralization where the ideal of relations is not generated in one degree was the 2− d Koszulalgebras. We give the proposed definitions and show using some Grobner basis theory, that thesome of these algebras have finitely generated Yoneda-Ext Algebras.

Max Noether theorem for singular curvesRenato Vidal MartinsUFMG, Brazil

The Max Noether theorem we mention above is the following: “Let ω be the dualizing sheafof a nonhyperelliptic nonsingular curve C. Then Symn(H0(ω)) surjects H0(ωn).” The assertionremains true, with the same proof, if ω is invertible, ie, C is Gorenstein. The talk is about howto generalize the result to curves which are non-Gorenstein.

On modular unipotent representation of GL(n,K)Olivier MathieuLyon, France

Let K be a finite field. Unipotent representations of GL(n,K) in characteristic zero havebeen fully described by classical authors (Green, James). Here we are interested in unipotentrepresentation in finite characteristic. We show that a certain class of irreducible character canbe computed. The proof requires tilting theory.

Compactified Picard stacks over the moduli space of curves with marked pointsMargarida MeloUniversidade de Coimbra, Portugal

Let Picd,g,n be the stack parametrizing degree d line bundles over smooth curves of genus gwith n marked points. In this talk I will give a construction of smooth and irreducible algebraicstacks yeldying a modular compactification of Picd,g,n over the moduli stack of n-pointed stablecurves,Mg,n. By this we mean an algebraic stack with a proper (or at least universally closed)map onto øMg,n, containing Picd,g,n as a dense open substack. These stacks parametrize whatwe will call balanced line bundles over n-pointed quasistable curves, generalizing L. Caporaso’scompactification of the universal degree d Picard variety over Mg. In fact, for n = 0, we justgive a stack theoretical description of Caporaso’s compactification and then, following the linesof Knudsen’s construction of Mg,n, we go on by induction on the number of points.

On the center of the relatively free algebra of Ma,b and the ring of generic matricesThiago Castilho de MelloUNICAMP, Brazil

The study of the ring of generic matrices is an important subject in ring theory. One descrip-tion of a generic matrix algebra is that it is a relatively free algebra for Mn(F ), the algebra ofn× n matrices over the field F [2]. In [1] Berele describes the algebra Uk(Ma,b), the relativelyfree algebra in k generators for Ma,b, and shows that its center is a direct sum of the field anda nilpotent algebra. He also asks whether or not such center contains non-scalars elements. Inthis poster we present such results and we give an answer for Berele’s question when a = b = 1.References[1] Berele, A., Generic verbally prime PI-algebras and their GK-dimensions, Communicationsin algebra, 21(5) (1993) 1487-1504.[2] Formanek, E., The Polynomial Identities and Invariants of n× n Matrices, CBMS RegionalConference Series in Mathematics, 78, AMS (1991).

The poset of p-subgroups of a finite groupGabriel MinianUniversidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina

Given a finite group G and a prime p, we denote by Sp(G) the poset of nontrivial p-subgroupsof G ordered by inclusion. In 1975, K. Brown investigated the relationship between the topo-logical properties of the poset Sp(G) and the algebraic properties of G and proved a variationof Sylow’s Theorems for the Euler characteristic of Sp(G) [4]. In 1978, D. Quillen showed thatif G has a nontrivial normal p-subgroup, Sp(G) is contractible. He proved that the converse ofthis statement is true for solvable groups and conjectured that it is true for all finite groups [5].This conjecture is still open, although it has be shown to be true in many cases [1].

In the first part of my talk I will recall Brown and Quillen’s constructions and results. In thesecond part of the talk I will show how this conjecture can be reformulated and analyzed froma very different point of view, using the topology and combinatorics of finite topological spaces.

The homology of reduced lattices and some combinatorial duality theoremsGabriel MinianUniversidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina

A reduced lattice is a finite poset L with the property that every upper bounded set of L hasa supremum. The homology of a finite poset can be defined (and computed) in two different,but equivalent, ways:

(1) A finite poset is a finite topological space and one can compute, in this way, its (singular)homology.

(2) Associated to any finite poset P there is a simplicial complex K(P ), whose simplicesare the nonempty chains of P . One can define the homology of P as the homology ofthe polyhedron K(P ).

By an old result of McCord, one can easily prove that both definitions coincide. In this talk Iwill show how to compute, in an alternative (and simpler) way, the homology of reduced latticesusing new combinatorial and topological techniques. I will also exhibit generalizations of someclassical duality results in homology, such as Poincare duality and Alexander duality. Thesegeneralizations will allow to study geometrical problems of polyhedra from a new point of view.

Methods of poset representation theory in steganographyAgustın Moreno CanadasUniversidad Nacional de Colombia, Colombia

Joint with : Oscar Espinel Montano, and Jaleydi Cardenas Poblador.The representation theory of posets was introduced in the 70’s by Nazarova and Roiter.

The main aim of their study was to determine indecomposable matrix representations of agiven poset P over a fixed field k or indecomposable filtered k-linear representations of Pintroduced by Gabriel in connection with the investigation of oriented graphs having finitelymany isomorphism classes of indecomposable linear representations. In this case a k-linearrepresentation is a system U = (U0 ; Ux | x ∈ P ), where U0 is a finite dimensional k-vectorspace and for each x ∈ P , Ux is a subspace Ux ⊂ U0 such that Ux ⊂ Uy if x ≤ y in P [4].

On the other hand, image algebra is a mathematical theory concerned with the transfor-mation and analysis of images [3]. Although much emphasis is focused on the analysis andtransformation of digital images, the main goal is the establishment of a comprehensive andunifying theory of images transformations, image analysis, and image understanding in the dis-crete as well as continuous domain. Much of the mathematics associated with image algebraand its implication to computer vision remains largely unchartered territory which awaits dis-covery. For example very little work has been done in relating image algebra to computer visiontechniques which employ tools from representation theory.

In this talk we shall describe how the steganography allows us to give a connection betweenthe theories described above. In particular we will describe how we can use representations ofposets over some finite fields in order to construct systems of multiple watermarks. We notethat these types of systems have been used to give security to some banknotes and stamps [1,2].

An (n, d)-arc is a set of n points in the projective plane P2(Fq), Fq being the finite field oforder q, such that no line intersects the set in more than d points; the arc is complete if cannotbe embedded in an (n+ 1, d)-arc. In this talk we are concerned with arcs arising from the set ofrational points of plane curves over finite fields; as a matter of fact we obtain complete arcs fromcurves of type yd = f(x). There exist several examples of such curves which, in a natural way,appear in the context of Arithmetic Theory as well as Coding Theory. We have for examplethe Hermitian curve y`+1 = x`+1 + 1 (q = `2) or the Norm-Trace curve y`

2+`+1 = x`2

+ x` + x(q = `3). Since both curves have a large number of rational points compared to their genus, thecorresponding arcs have a large number of points compared to their degrees.

Tensor products, characters, and blocks of finite-dimensional representations of quantumaffine algebras at roots of unityAdriano MouraIMECC-UNICAMP, Brazil

The blcok decomposition of the category of finite-dimensional representation of quantumaffine algebras was first studied by the speaker and P. Etingof. The original approach usedanalytic properties of the action of the R-matrix which are true only if the quantization pa-rameter q is not in the unity circle. Later, the speaker and V. Chari used a different approachin connection with the theory of q-characters which could be used for generic q. One of themain tools used in both approaches was a consequence of a result of Chari on tensor products ofirreducible representations. Namely, part of the study relied on the fact that a tensor productof fundamental representations could always be re-oredered in such away that it becomes iso-morphic to a Weyl module. We will talk about a joint work with D. Jakelic where we considerthe root of unity case. It turns out that the aforementioned result about tensor products offundamental representations is no longer valid. After reviweing the basics on finite-dimensionalrepresentations of quantum affine algebras, we will discuss the techniques we used to overcomethis issue.

Genus 3 curves: a world to exploreEnric NartUniversitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain

In the last twenty years, curves of genus 1 and 2 over finite fields have been extensively studiedand a lot of computational issues have been addressed to facilitate their manipulation in regardsto their applications to coding theory and/or cryptography. This talk is a survey on the problemsthat concern the development of similar techniques for genus 3 curves. Emphasis will be laid onthe case of non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curves (plane quartics), and in the application of classicalanalytical tools (of Riemann, Klein, Weber ...) to study some modern problems concerningarithmetic properties of these curves over finite fields.

Etale homotopy types of moduli stacksFrank NeumannUniversity of Leicester, UK

Using the machinery of etale homotopy theory as developed by Artin and Mazur we willdetermine the etale homotopy type of certain moduli stacks of algebraic curves and abelianvarieties and relate their etale fundamental groups to the absolute Galois group Gal(Q/Q)extending previous results obtained by Oda. This is joint work with Paola Frediani (Pavia).

On a 4-gonal curve of genus 9Akira OhbuchiTokushima University, Japan

Joint work with T.Harui and T.Kato.Let C be an algebraic curve defined over C and let

sC(2) = mind |∃g2d : birational.

It is known that sC(2) ≤ g + 2 where g = genus of C, sC(2) = g + 2 if and only if C ishyperelliptic and sC(2) = g + 1 if and only if C is bielliptic. Harui, Kato and Ohbuchi provethat if sC(2) = g, then C is a doble cover of genus 2 curve when g ≥ 10. In case g ≤ 8, theclassification of a curve with sC(2) = g is very easy. But in case g = 9, it is not easy to classifya curve with sC(2) = g. Today’s aim is to construct a counterexample in case genus 9, i.e. toconstruct a curve of genus 9 which is a birational g2

g = g29 but is not a double cover of genus 2.

Leavitt path algebrasJoacir Lucas de OliveiraUFPR, Brazil

Joint work with Marcelo Muniz Silva Alves (supervisor).Let Q = (Q0, Q1, s, t) be a quiver, i.e., Q0 and Q1 are two nonempty sets whose elements are

called the vertices (or points) and arrows (or edges) of Q, respectively, and s, t : Q1 → Q0 are thefunctions that assign to each arrow α ∈ Q1 its source s(α) ∈ Q0 and its target t(α) ∈ Q0. Givena field K, the path algebra K(Q) over K is the free K-algebra K[Q0∪Q1] with relations vivj =δi,jvi, vi, vj ∈ Q0 and α = s(α)α = αt(α), α ∈ Q1. In order to define the Leavitt path algebraof Q we consider the extended quiver Q = (Q0, Q1 ∪ (Q1)∗, s′, t′), where (Q1)∗ = α∗; α ∈ Q1and the functions s′, t′ are given by s′|Q1 = s, t′|Q1 = t, s′(α∗) = t(α), t′(α∗) = s(α). In theextended quiver the elements of Q1 are the real edges and the elements of Q∗1 are called the ghostedges; the extended graph has a canonical involution that takes α to α∗, which then induces aninvolution in K(Q).

The Leavitt path algebra L(Q) = LK(Q) of the quiver Q is the path algebra K(Q) with theCuntz-Krieger relations: (i) α∗β = δα,βα for all α, β ∈ Q1, and (ii) v =

∑α∈Q1: s(α)=v αα

∗,whenever v ∈ Q0 and s−1(v) 6= ∅ (v is not a sink). In order that the second Cuntz-Kriegerrelation make sense we consider only quivers where s−1(v) is a finite set for all v ∈ Q0 (whichare called row-finite quivers). We will be mainly interested in giving necessary and sufficientconditions on Q for the Leavitt path algebra L(Q) to be a simple algebra. We will see thatthe Leavitt path algebra L(Q) is simple if, and only if, Q satisfies (i) the only hereditary andsatured subsets of Q0 are ∅ and Q0, and (ii) every cycle in Q has an exit.

On commutativity and finiteness in groupsRicardo Nunes de OliveiraUFG, Brazil

The notion of weak commutativity between groups was introduced by Said Sidki (1980), byintroducing the group of weak commutativity χ(H) =

⟨H,Hψ| [h, hψ] = 1, ∀h ∈ H

⟩, where

ψ : H → Hψ an isomorphism. It was shown that χ, seen as an operator on the class of groups,preserves a number of properties such as finiteness, nilpotency and solubility. In a recent jointpaper with Sidki (to appear in the Bulletin of SBM) we consider a more general form of weakcommutativity, where given two isomophic groups H, H and a bijection f : H \ e → H \ e,we define

χ(H, f) =⟨H, H | [h, f(h)] = 1, ∀h ∈ H

⟩.

We produce results which support the conjecture that χ(H, f) preserves nilpotency. Finitenessfollows from a general theorem in the same paper of 1980.

The question of extending the finiteness criterion and other properties to a group involvingthree or more copies of H, leads us to consider quotients of the group

χ(H,n) =⟨H,Hψ, . . . ,Hψn−1 | [hψi

, hψj] = 1, ∀h ∈ H, 1 6 i, j 6 n− 1

⟩where ψn = 1. We will give both theoretical and computational results in this direction.

Low complexity normal bases in finite fieldsDaniel PanarioCarleton University, Canada

Let Fqn be an extension of Fq, and α ∈ Fqn . A normal basis of Fqn over Fq is a basis of theform N = α, αq, . . . , αqn−1. In this case, we say that α is a normal element of Fqn .

Let αi = αqi

for 0 ≤ i ≤ n− 1, and let T = (tij) be the n× n matrix given by

ααi =n−1∑j=0

tijαj , 0 ≤ i ≤ n− 1, tij ∈ Fq.

The complexity of the normal basis N , denoted by cN , is the number of non-zero entries in T .Mullin et al (1989) proved that cN ≥ 2n− 1. The normal basis N is optimal when cN = 2n− 1.

Optimal normal bases over finite fields were completely characterized in a fundamental paperdue to Gao and Lenstra (1992). Optimal normal elements do not exist for all finite fields andall extensions.

Normal bases are widely used in applications of finite fields in areas such as coding theoryand cryptography. In particular, optimal normal bases are desirable. When no optimal normalbasis exists, it is useful to have normal elements of low complexity, say of complexity boundedby cn for some small constant c. However, when no optimal normal basis exists, the problemof classifying all low complexity normal bases is still open.

In this talk, first, we briefly review some old constructions of low complexity normal elements.Then we comment on some new constructions of low complexity normal elements based on thetrace of an optimal normal element. Finally, we give some experimental results and conjecturesabout the distribution of the complexity of normal elements in F2n , for several values of n.

Near orders on higher dimensional varietiesRafael PeixotoUNICAMP, Brazil

Goppa constructed codes based on algebraic curves; many authors generalize this constructionbased on higher dimensional varieties such as Hermitian varieties, Toric varieties, zero schemesof vector bundles, etc. The study of these codes, which is based on resources from algebraicgeometry, is usually difficult. Høholdt, van Lint and Pellikaan presented a construction of codesby using linear algebra and semigroup theory only. This construction is based on the concept ofweight on algebras (over finite fields). Matsumoto noticed that the aforementioned constructionallows us to work mainly with one-point Goppa codes. A similar picture for the case of two-points Goppa codes was worked out by using the concept of near weight. The very generalconcept of weight on an arbitrary variety was given by Geil, Pellikaan and Little. Here we willintroduce the notion of near weight on arbitrary algebraic varieties.

The Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules associated to E6

Fernanda de Andrade PereiraUNICAMP, Brazil

Let g be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over the field of complex numbers. Considerits loop algebra g and the corresponding quantized enveloping algebras Uq(g) and Uq(g). It isknown that, unless g is of type A, there is no quantum group analogue of the evaluation mapsg → g. In particular, the concept of evaluation representations is not available in the contextof the quantum affine algebra Uq(g) in general. Chari and Pressley introduced and studied theconcept of minimal affinizations which place the role of evaluation modules in the sense thatthey are the simplest of the irreducible representations. A special class of minimal affinizationsis that of Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules. These modules are subject of intense studies in thelast decade because of their applications to mathematical physics. One problem of particularinterest is that of describing their characters. Chari and Moura have solved this problem wheng is of type A,B,C,D, or G by transferring the problem to the context of current algebras.More recently, Moura has initiated a program for extending this method to general minimalaffinizations. We will present some new results in this direction when g is of type E6.

The Gerstenhaber bracket in the Hamiltonian formalismLuiz Henrique PereiraUFPR, Brazil

We study applications of the Gerstenhaber bracket on the description of the evolution equa-tions in the context of the classical Hamiltonian formalism. We begin by comparing the wellknown rule played by the Lie, Poisson and Nijenhuis-Schouten brackets in that formalism. Next,we study the Gerstenhaber bracket and its relations to the above mentioned brackets as well asapplications in the description of classical Hamiltonian systems.

Polynomial identities of ternary algebrasLuiz A. PeresiIME-USP, Brazil

(Joint work with Murray R. Bremner, University of Saskatchewan.)The classical triple products are: Lie, Jordan and anti-Jordan. Each one of these products,

together with the polynomial identities it satisfies, defines the corresponding variety of triplesystems. Using the representations of the symmetric group S3, we classify up to equivalencethe ternary operations over the field of rational numbers.

For one representative of each equivalence class, we obtain the polynomial identities of degree≤ 5 satisfied by the ternary operation in every totally associative ternary algebra. Thesepolynomial identities define new varieties of triple systems.

The polynomial identities are obtained as the nullspace of a large matrix with integer entries.In the most difficult cases, our methods use the representation theory of the symmetric group,the Hermite normal form of an integer matrix and the Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovasz algorithm forlattice basis reduction.

In this paper we describe the right coideal subalgebras containing all group-like elements ofthe multiparameter quantum group U+

The endomophisms monoid of a homogeneous vector bundleAlvaro RittatoreUniversidad de la Republica, Uruguay

A vector bundle over an abelian variety E → A is said to be homogeneous if for every a ∈ A,E ∼= t∗aE, where ta : A→ A is the translation by a. One can say that the study of homogeneousvector bundles has its origin in the work of Atiyah on vector bundles over elliptic curves (late´50s). In the ´70s, Miyanishi and Mukai described the basic properties of the category ofhomogeneous vector bundles, as well as the algebraic structure of the automorphisms groupof these bundles. Recently, Brion and Rittatore have shown that any algebraic monoid (notnecessarily affine) can be immersed as as closed submonoid of the endomorphisms monoid ofsuch a bundle. Thus, the endomorphisms monoid of homogeneous vector bundles are called toplay a role in the description of an arbitrary algebraic monoid similar to the one played by then× n-matrices in the affine case.

In this talk we will show the basic algebraic and geometric properties of the endomorphismsmonoid Endhb)(E) of a homogeneous vector bundle E → A. In particular, we will endowEndhb)(E) with a structure of vector bundle, and stablish the relationship between this structureand the structure of E → A.

This is a join work with Leticia Brambila-Paz.

Serre relations for Lie algebras associated to quasi-Cartan matrix of type Bn and CnAntonio Daniel RiveraUAEM, Mexico

A square matrix with integer coefficients A is called a quasi-Cartan matrix, if it is symmetriz-able (that is, there exists a diagonal matrix D with positive diagonal entries such that DA issymmetric) and Aii = 2 for all i. A quasi-Cartan matrix is called a Cartan matrix, if it ispositive definite, that is, all principal minors are positive, and Aij ≤ 0 for all i 6= j.

Every semisimple Lie algebra defines a root system on the dual space of a Cartan subalgebraand a Cartan matrix, which expresses the dual of the Killing form on a root base. Serre’sTheorem gives then a representation of the given Lie algebra in generators and relations interms of the Cartan matrix. In this work, we generalize Serre’s Theorem to give an explicitrepresentation in generators and relations for any semisimple Lie algebra associated to positivequasi-Cartan matrix of type Bn or Cn.

On non-abelian tensor powers of a groupNoraı R. RoccoUnB, Brazil

Joint work with Ticianne P. Bueno - UFG.In this talk we are concerned with non-abelian tensor powers of a group G. The first task is

to extend the definition of the tensor square T2(G) = G ⊗ G to contruct a n-th tensor powerTn(G), n ≥ 2, in a reasonable way. We do that recursively by using the natural action ofG on Tn−1(G), whereas for the action of Tn−1(G) on G we take that of γn−1(G) acting byconjugation on G: the action of a monomial x1 ⊗ · · · ⊗ xn−1 on an element g ∈ G is defined bygx1⊗···⊗xn−1 := g[x1,...,xn−1] (here the conjugator is a left normed simple commutator of weightn− 1). These actions are compatible, so that the non-abelian tensor product Tn−1(G)⊗G maybe defined. There is an isomorphism Tn−1(G)⊗G ∼= G⊗Tn−1(G), x⊗ g 7→ (g⊗x)−1 and hencewe are able to define Tn(G) := Tn−1(G)⊗G.

Covering coalgebras and dual non-singularityVirginia RodriguesUFSC, Brazil

Localization is an important technique in ring theory and yields the construction of severalrings of quotients. Colocalization in comodule categories has been investigated by (Jara et al.,Commun. Algebra, 34(8): 2843-2856, 2006 and Nastasescu and Torrecillas, J. Algebra, 185:203-220, 1994). In this work we look at possible coalgebra covers π : D → C that could play therole of a coalgebra colocalization. Codense covers will dualize rational extensions; a maximalcodense cover construction for coalgebras with projective covers is proposed. Also we look fordual non-singularity concept for modules which turns out to be comodule-theoretic propertythat turns the dual algebra of a coalgebra into a nonsingular ring and we look at coprimecoalgebras and Hopf algebras which are non-singular as coalgebras. This is a join work withC. Lomp (UP - Porto - Portugal).

Prym-Tyurin varieties via Hecke algebrasAnita RojasUniversidad de Chile, Chile

Joint work with A. Carocca, H. Lange, R. E. Rodrıguez.We present some of the results developed in [1]. Denote by G a finite group and π : Z → Y

a Galois covering of smooth projective curves with Galois group G. For every subgroup H ofG there is a canonical action of the corresponding Hecke algebra Q[H\G/H] on the Jacobianof the curve X = Z/H. To each rational irreducible representation W of G we associate anidempotent in the Hecke algebra, which induces a correspondence of the curve X and thus anabelian subvariety P of the Jacobian JX. We give sufficient conditions onW, H, and the actionof G on Z for P to be a Prym-Tyurin variety. We obtain many new families of Prym-Tyurinvarieties of arbitrary exponent in this way.

Trace forms and ideals on commutative algebras satisfying an identity of degree fourCarlos Rojas-BrunaDuocUC, Chile

We study a variety of commutative algebras satisfying the identity :

((xy)z)t− ((xy)t)z + ((yt)x)z − ((yt)z)x+ ((yz)t)x− ((yz)x)t = 0.

These algebras appeared in the classification of the degree four identities given by L. Carini,I.R. Hentzel and Piaccentini-Cattaneo. We prove the existence of a trace form, and also thatthe existence of a non degenerate trace form give us a relation between these algebras and thevariety defined by the identity :

(xy)2 − x2y2

+ γ

((xy)x)y + ((xy)y)x− (y2x)x− (x2y)y

= 0.

Finally we prove that Ass[A] and N(A) are ideals in these algebras.

Galois correspondence for α-partial Galois Azumaya extensionsAlveri A. Sant’AnaUFRGS, Brazil

In 1965 appeared three diferent papers, independently authored by F. R. DeMeyer, T. Kan-zaki and M. Harada, which investigated central Galois algebras, i. e., Galois algebras Λ over kwith group G such that k is the center of Λ. Later, R. Alfaro and G. Szeto (1995 and 1997)generalized the class of central algebras to the class of Galois Azumaya extensions, i.e., Galoisextensions of an Azumaya algebra, where they characterized such extensions in terms of theAzumaya property and H-separability of the induced skew group ring. In the 97’s paper, Alfaroand Szeto gave two nice one-to-one correspondence theorems for a Galois Azumaya extensionsgeneralizing the corresponding DeMeyer’s result.

In this talk we give a version of these correspondence theorems for α-partial Galois Azumayaextensions obtaining an extension of the Alfaro and Szeto’s results to the setting of partialGalois theory.

This is a joint work with A. Paques (UFRGS/Brasil) and V. Rodrigues (UFSC/Brasil).

Somas de quadrados e formas hermitianasClotilzio Moreira dos SantosIBILCE - UNESP, Brazil

Escrever −1 como soma de quadrados em um corpo F (de caracterıstica diferente de dois) eum problema antigo. O menor numero de parcelas (se existir) tal que isto ocorre e dito nıvel(level) do corpo F , caso contrario o nıvel e infinito. Em 1965 A. Pfister [1] demonstrou quese o nıvel de um corpo e finito, entao ele e uma potencia de dois. Neste mesmo trabalho,A. Pfister resolve parcialmente, mas no caso interessante, o problema de escrever um produtode n (n > 0) quadrados como soma de n quadrados; a saber, no caso em que n e uma potenciade 2. A agitacao entusiasmada causada pela elegante demonstracao de Pfister tem contribuıdomuito para o rapido desenvolvimento da teoria algebrica de formas quadraticas, depois de 1965.

O nıvel de um corpo e um invariante importantıssimo na teoria de formas quadratica, poisum corpo possui nıvel infinito se, e somente se, ele possui pelo menos uma ordem. Vale a penacitar tambem o celebre princıpio Local-Global de Pfister que nos da, como consequencia, que seo nıvel de um corpo e finito, entao o anel de Witt das formas quadraticas sobre ele e de torcao.Em se tratando de formas quadraticas sobre aneis mais gerais, em 1980 Dai, Lam e Peng [2]usando argumentos topologicos, provou que qualquer numero natural maior que zero pode sero nıvel de algum anel. Sobre aneis com divisao existem contribuicoes recentes de varios autoresna tentativa de se calcular o nıvel. Por exemplo, Lewis [3], demonstrou que existem algebras dequaternios com divisao com nıveis 2k e 2k + 1, k > 0.

K. In other words, let X be a connected finite poset, K be a field and I(X,K) be the incidencealgebra of X over K. Let ρ1, ρ2 : I(X,K)→ I(X,K) be two K-linear involutions on I(X,K).We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an automorphism Ψ of I(X,K)such that Ψρ1 = ρ2Ψ.

Let g be a simple classical Lie superalgebra. Some time ago Kac and Wakimoto conjecturedthat a simple finite dimensional g module has a non zero superdimension if and only if its degreeof atypicality equals the defect of g. We will give a proof of this conjecture in some cases.

Free unitary and symmetric pairs in group rings of characteristic 2Mazi ShirvaniUniversity of Alberta, Canada

Let kG be the group ring of a finite group of odd order G over a field k of characteristic2, and let ∗ be an involution of G, extended in the natural way to an involution of kG. Wedetermine when kG contains two ∗-symmetric (respectively, ∗-unitary) units which generate afree group of rank 2.

State-closed groupsSaid SidkiUnB, Brazil

Automorphisms of one-rooted regular trees T (Y ) indexed by finite sequences from a finiteset Y of size m ≥ 2, have a natural interpretation as automata on the alphabet Y , and withstates which are again automorphisms of the tree. A subgroup of the group of automorphismsA (Y ) of the tree is said to be state-closed, in the language of automata (or self-similar in thelanguage of dynamics) of degree m provided the states of its elements are themselves elementsof the same group.

There is a very large variety of types of state-closed groups. Normally groups in this classare considered under additional conditions such as having finite number of generators, beingfinite-state, or satisfying certain identities. Some of the examples are the torsion groups ofGrigorchuk and of Gupta-Sidki, the torsion-free BSV and Basilica weakly branch groups, allfinitely generated and finite-state. There are also the faithful representations of affine groupsover the integers and of free groups as finite-state and state-closed groups.

State-closed free abelian groups of degree 2 and having finite rank were characterized byNekrashevych-Sidki in 2004 and finitely generated state-closed torsion-free nilpotent groups ofdegree m ≥ 2 were studied by Berlatto-Sidki in 2007.

We will review in this lecture known results and recent work by the author and Andrew Brun-ner on state-closed general abelian groups without restrictions on finite generation or degree.

Let E be the infinite-dimensional Grassmann algebra over a field F of characteristic zero andconsider L the F -vector space spanned by all generators of E. Let ϕl be any fixed automorphismof E of order 2 such that L is an homogeneous subspace. In this talk, we present the generators ofthe ideal of the Z2-graded identities (based on joint work with Prof. Onofrio Mario Di Vincenzofrom University of Basilicata, Italy) and we get a complete description of the graded centralpolynomials of the superalgebra (E,ϕl).

The hyperbolic propertyA. C. Souza FilhoEACH-USP, Brazil

Hyperbolic groups were firstly studied by Gromov, see [1]. An important result states that ifa group is hyperbolic it has no subgroup isomorphic to Z× Z. According to this result we saythat an associative algebra has the hyperbolic property if any Z-order of the algebra is such thatthe unit group of the order has no subgroup isomorphic to Z×Z. In [3], it was studied the finitesemigroups which the semigroup algebra over the racional numbers has the hyperbolic property.A classification of these semigroups was started in [2]. In a recent article we completely classifiedthe finite semigroups with this property. Following the techniques developed in [3], we also statea structure theorem for alternative finite dimensional algebras over the racional numbers suchthat, for any Z-order, the unit loop of the order has no subgroup isomorphic to Z× Z.

Galois geometries and coding theory: two interacting research areasLeo StormeGhent University, Belgium

In coding theory, a linear [n, k, d]-code C over the finite field of order q is a k-dimensionalsubspace of the n-dimensional vector space V (n, q) over the Galois field Fq of order q. Theminimum distance d of the code C is the minimal number of positions in which two distinctcodewords of C differ.

A finite projective space PG(N, q) of dimensionN over the Galois field Fq of order q arises fromthe (N + 1)-dimensional vector space V (N + 1, q) over Fq, when one identifies the vector linesof V (N + 1, q) as being the points of PG(N, q). These finite projective spaces PG(N, q) are alsocalled Galois geometries. In Galois geometries, many different substructures are investigated.

Many problems in coding theory have an equivalent statement as problems on specific sub-structures in Galois geometries. This means that techniques from Galois geometries can be usedto solve problems in coding theory.

Concrete examples include the link between linear MDS codes and arcs in Galois geometries,linear codes meeting the Griesmer bound and minihypers in Galois geometries, covering radiusand saturating sets, linear codes arising from the incidence matrices of geometrical structures,and functional codes.

During this talk, we will describe a number of these links and show how techniques fromGalois geometries contribute to coding theory.

An introduction to central simple algebras and the Brauer groupEduardo TenganICMC-USP, Brazil

Central Simple Algebras are finite dimensional algebras over a field K with no non-trivialtwo-sided ideals (they are ‘simple’) and whose centre is precisely K (they are ‘central’). Familiarexamples include the ring Mn(K) of n × n matrices and division algebras (‘non-commutativefields’) over K. For a given field K, the central simple algebras over K can be organized in agroup Br(K), called the Brauer group of K, which can be thought of as a ‘directory’ of alldivision algebras over K. Alternatively, Br(K) can also be defined in terms of Galois cohomolgyof K, and therefore it can be also be viewed as an arithmetic invariant of K. The interplaybetween these two points of view is a very rich one, with applications not only to the theoryof Central Simple Algebras, but also to Number Theory, Field Theory, Quadratic Forms andAlgebraic Geometry.

This mini-course covers some of the classical theory of central simple algebras and the Brauergroup. We will start with the basic theory and then briefly review some of the results of Galoiscohomology that we will need. We end up with two non-trival computations of the Brauergroup, for local and global fields.

The algebra of differential operators associated to a weight matrixJuan TiraoUniversidad Nacional de Cordoba, Argentina

Given a weight matrix W (x) of size N on the real line one constructs a sequence of matrixvalued orthogonal polynomials, (Pn). We will introduce the algebra D(W ) of all differentialoperators D with matrix coefficients such that PnD = L(n)Pn, with L(n) in the algebra A ofN × N complex matrices. Then we will exhibit certain representations of this algebra, provethat it is a ∗-algebra and give a precise description of its isomorphic image inside the directproduct of a countable number of copies of A.

Generalized octonionic structures on S7 and Clifford algebrasMarcio Andre TraeselUFABC, Brazil

In this paper we investigate the deformations in the octonionic algebra — from the vectorbundle to the whole exterior and Clifford bundles on the 7-sphere S7, using the Clifford algebra-parametrized octonionic formalism. Using the products between multivectors of C`0,7 (theClifford algebra over the metric vector space R0,7) and octonions, resulting in an octonion, andleading to the non-associative standard octonionic product in a particular case, we generalizethe formalism previously introduced in [arXiv:math-ph/0603053v1], also associated with thetransformation rules for bosonic and fermionic fields on the tangent bundle over the 7-sphereS7. This generalization is accomplished also in the formalism of u-products, where u ∈ C`0,7is fixed, but arbitrary. The octonionic product generalization on S7 is explicitly dependent onthe point where the tangent bundle, and the exterior and the Clifford bundles are regarded.The formalism presented in this paper concerns how to extend the octonionic product on thetangent bundle on the basis manifold S7 to the whole exterior bundle and the Clifford bundleon S7.

On the representation dimension of some classes of tame algebrasSonia TrepodeUniversidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Argentina

Joint with I. Assem and F. Coelho. This is a work in progress. The notion of representationdimension was introduced by Auslander in the 70’s as a measure of how far an algebra is to be offinite representation type. He proved that representation finite algebras are characterised by thefact that their representation dimensions is at most two. So it is reasonable to ask if the tamealgebras have representation dimensions at most 3. We study the representation dimensions ofsome particular classes of tame algebras

Multiplicity formulae for admissible restriction of Discrete Series representationsJorge VargasFAMAF-CIEM, Argentina

We fix H ⊂ G reductive, connected matrix groups and π an irreducible square integrablerepresentation of G. Whenever G is compact (resp. H is a maximal compact subgroup) themultiplicity of each irreducible H-factor of π restricted to H may be computed in terms of:infinitesimal characters (resp. Harish Chandra parameters), Weyl group, and ONE partitionfunction, Kostant-Heckman (resp. Blattner) formulae. Assume π, H are so that π restrictedto H is admissible, in joint work with Michel Duflo, we have obtained a sufficient conditionto express the multiplicity of each irreducible factor in the framework of above. We also showthe formula holds for (G,H) a symmetric pair. In order to show our formula, we consider thecoadjoint orbit Ω attached to the Harish-Chandra parameter of π. Then, by means of “discrete”and “continuos” Heaviside functions we relate the multiplicity of each irreducible H-factor of πrestricted to H and the push forward to h∗ of the Liouville measure for Ω.

Some algebras with directed gluingsRosana Retsos Signorelli VargasEACH-USP, Brazil

For an algebra A denote by LA = X ∈ indA : pdY ≤ 1 for each predecessor Y of Xand RA = X ∈ indA : idY ≤ 1 for each successor Y of X. These subcategories played animportant role in the study of some algebras like quasi-tilted algebras, shod algebras and lauraalgebras. In this work we study the class of algebras satisfying the property: all indecomposableprojective A-modules Px and all indecomposable injective A-module Ix lies in LA ∪ RA. Sucha class includes for exemplo, shod algebras.

About Quasi-Jordan algebras generated by dialgebras and their relation with Leibniz algebrasRaul VelasquezUniversidad de Antioquia, Colombia

Velasquez and Felipe introduced the notion of a quasi-Jordan algebra (see [3]). These algebrassatisfy the right-commutativity a(bc) = a(cb) and the right quasi-Jordan identity (ba2)a =(ba)b2.

More recently, Kolesnikov, used techniques of conformal algebras related with dialgebras(see [2]), and Bremner, used polynomial identities (see [1]), to introduce a new definition ofquasi-Jordan algebras based on the prouct

x y :=12

(x a y + y ` x),

where x, y are elements in a dialgebra (D,a,`). These product satisfies the right-commutativity,the right quasi-Jordan and the associative-derivation identity: (a, b2, c) = 2(a, b, c)b.

In this talk we show that there are inner derivations (classical and left derivations) for quasi-Jordan algebras introduced by Kolesnikov and Bremner (K-B). Additionally, we show a rela-tionship between K-B quasi-Jordan algebras and Leibniz algebras and few results about splitquasi-Jordan algebras.

Free subgroups of U(ZG) generated by alternating unitsPaula Murgel VelosoIME-USP, Brazil

In this work, done in collaboration with Jairo Goncalves, we search for free subgroups in theunit group U(ZG) of the group ring ZG, using an alternating unit and a bicyclic unit, and apair of alternating units.

In a similar investigation [1], Goncalves and del Rio show that in the integral group ring ZG,with G a nonabelian group with order coprime with 6, there always exists a pair formed by aBass cyclic unit and a bicyclic unit, such that the subgroup they generate is not 2-related.

Let G be a group containing x ∈ G an element of odd order n, and c ∈ N, 1 ≤ c < 2n suchthat (c, 2n) = 1. Then, according to [4, Lemma 10.6], the element

gc(x) :=c−1∑i=0

(−x)i = 1− x+ x2 − . . .+ xc−1 ∈ ZG

is a unit in ZG, called an alternating unit.Just like some other types of units in group rings [2], [3], alternating units defined in a

homomorphic image of ZG may be lifted to alternating units in ZG. So the research techniquemust involve studying the behavior of pairs formed by an alternating unit unit and a bicyclicunit, and pairs of alternating units in group rings ZH, with H minimal groups that could becounter-examples to the result, and classifying such groups as well.

Deformations of restricted simple Lie algebras in positive characteristicFilippo VivianiUniversidade Roma Tre, Italy

Simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field F of positive characteristic (differentfrom 2 and 3) have recently been classified by Block-Wilson-Premet-Strade, answering positivelyto a conjecture of Kostrikin and Shafarevich. Among the simple Lie algebras, a very importantsubclass is formed by the restricted simple Lie algebras, that are the ones which occur as Liealgebras of group schemes over F . In this talk, I will report on the explicit computation of theordinary and restricted infinitesimal deformations of the restricted simple Lie algebras.

On a group of permutation polynomialsQiang (Steven) WangCarleton University, Canada

A polynomial f over a finite field Fq is called a permutation polynomial if the mappingf : Fq → Fq permutes the elements of Fq. Permutation polynomials were first investigatedby Hermite, and since then, many studies concerning them have been devoted. In the last 20years there has been a revival in the interest for permutation polynomials, in part due to theircryptographic applications. Let r, d be a positive integers satisfying d | q − 1 and G(d, q) bethe set of permutation polynomials of form xrf(xq−1)/d such that deg f(x) < d, (r, (q-1)/d)=1, and 1 ≤ r ≤ (q − 1)/d. It was shown by Wan and Lidl that G(d, q) is isomorphic to ageneralized wreath product G oR H, where G = Z(q−1)/d is the additive group, R = (Z(q−1)/d)∗

is the multiplicative group acting on G, and H = Sd is the symmetric group on Zd. In thistalk I will give a brief introduction to the structure of group G(d, q) and then describe how theinverse of an element in G(d, q) looks like explicitly.

Spectra of quantum Schubert cells and quantum flag varietiesMilen YakimovLouisiana State University, USA

De Concini, Kac, and Procesi defined a family of subalgebras Uwq of a quantized universalenveloping algebra Uq(g), associated to the elements of the corresponding Weyl group W . Theyare deformations of universal enveloping algebras of nilpotent Lie algebras and can be consideredas quantized algebras of functions on Schubert cells.

We will describe explicitly all torus invariant prime ideals of the algebras Uwq , constructefficient generating sets, and describe the poset of those ideals. We will then apply these resultsto classify the torus invariant prime ideals of quantum partial flag varieties.
