Primitive ideals of algebras

From MaRDI portal





This elegant note is concerned with aspects of the ``Dixmier conditions characterizing primitive ideals in certain algebras. Originally, these conditions arose in the context of enveloping algebras of finite-dimensional complex Lie algebras, but their scope was subsequently extended so as to include other classes of algebras as well. The first main result states that if \(R\) is a prime Goldie algebra over a field \(F\) of cardinality \(| F|>\dim_FR\) and if there exists a ``separating set \(S\subseteq R\setminus\{0\}\) with \(| S|<| F|\) for the primes of \(R\) (i.e., every nonzero prime ideal of \(R\) intersects \(S\) nontrivially), then the extended centroid of \(R\) is algebraic over \(F\). Furthermore, a structure theorem for prime algebras whose center equals the extended centroid is proved.
