On graded associative algebras. (Q441281): Difference between revisions

For an arbitrary field \(\mathbb K\), the author considers an associative \(\mathbb K\)-algebra \(\mathfrak A\) which is graded by an Abelian group \(G\) and has symmetric support. It is shown that these algebras have a decomposition of the form \(\mathfrak A=U+\sum_jI_j\), where \(U\) is a subspace of \(\mathfrak A_1\) and the \(I_j\) are certain graded ideals of \(\mathfrak A\) which satisfy \(I_jI_k=0\) for \(j\neq k\). This decomposition is used to characterize, under some additional conditions, the simplicity of \(\mathfrak A\) and to study when \(\mathfrak A\) is the direct sum of the family of its minimal graded ideals.
