Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Non-associative algebras are currently a fashionable research direction. There are two important classes of non-associative structures: Lie structures and Jordan structures. Various Jordan structures play an important role in quantum group theory and in fundamental physical theories.

In recent years, several attempts to unify non-associative structures have led to interesting results. The UJLA structures are not the only structures which realize such a unification.

Associative algebras and Lie algebras can be unified at the level of Yang–Baxter structures. Several papers published in the open access journal Axioms deal with the Yang–Baxter equation.

The Yang–Baxter equation can be interpreted in terms of logical circuits and, in logic, it represents a kind of compatibility condition when working with many logical sentences in the same time. This equation is also related to the theory of universal quantum gates and to quantum computers. It has many applications in quantum groups and knot theory.

Contributions related to non-associative structures, various aspects of the Yang–Baxter Equation, and their applications are invited.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Axioms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

This article is devoted to a class of nonassociative algebras with metagroup relations. This class includes, in particular, generalized Cayley–Dickson algebras. The separability of the nonassociative algebras with metagroup relations is investigated. For this purpose the cohomology theory is utilized. Conditions are found under which such algebras are separable. Algebras satisfying these conditions are described. Full article

We explicitly calculate the branching functions arising from the tensor product decompositions between level 2 and principal admissible representations over sl ^ 2 . In addition, investigating the characters of the minimal series representations of super-Virasoro algebras, we present the tensor product decompositions in terms of the minimal series representations of super-Virasoro algebras for the case of principal admissible weights.

Nonassociative algebras with metagroup relations and their modules are studied. Their cohomology theory is scrutinized. Extensions and cleftings of these algebras are studied. Broad families of such algebras and their acyclic complexes are described. For this purpose, different types of products of metagroups are investigated. Necessary structural properties of metagroups are studied. Examples are given. It is shown that a class of nonassociative algebras with metagroup relations contains a subclass of generalized Cayley–Dickson algebras. Full article

Dual numbers and their higher-order version are important tools for numerical computations, and in particular for finite difference calculus. Based on the relevant algebraic rules and matrix realizations of dual numbers, we present a novel point of view, embedding dual numbers within a formalism reminiscent of operational umbral calculus.

This paper is a continuation of a previous article that appeared in AXIOMS in 2018. A Euler’s formula for hyperbolic functions is considered a consequence of a unifying point of view. Then, the unification of Jordan, Lie, and associative algebras is revisited. We also explain that derivations and co-derivations can be unified. Finally, we consider a “modified” Yang–Baxter type equation, which unifies several problems in mathematics. Full article
