Torus actions on rings (Q1340978)

The authors study torus actions on non-commutative rings, focusing on upper bounds on the dimensions of tori for which faithful actions are possible. They give sharp bounds for actions on algebras of generic matrices and their trace rings. The major contents of the paper are \(X\)- inner actions of divisible torsion groups, rational torus actions, polynomial and generic matrix algebras, and trace rings.
