Relative positions of matroid algebras (Q1296767): Difference between revisions

A complex algebra with involution, which is a union of a chain of subalgebras, each of which being a full matrix algebra, is called a matroid algebra. The author defines the standard index 2 inclusions of matroid algebras, the generic index 4 inclusions of direct sums of matroid algebras, inclusions of 2-symmetric algebras, and generic limits of 4-cycle algebras. He shows that irregular isomorphisms of regular systems of 4-cycle algebras are only possible if the systems are of matroid type and have vanishing homology. Then generic limits of 4-cycle algebras are classified, as well as relative positions of direct sums of matroid algebras, and 2-symmetric algebras. Obstructions to homology inverting automorphisms are also indicated. The most important of the preceding arguments are finally generalized to the case of approximately regular embeddings and the classification of operator algebra limits of generic 4-cycle algebra systems, in the odd case, is obtained.
