Uzi Vishne
Uzi Vishne is Professor of Mathematics at Bar Ilan University, Israel. His main interests are division algebras, Gelfand–Kirillov dimension, Coxeter groups, Artin groups, combinatorial group theory, monomial algebras, and arithmetic of algebraic group In mathematics, an algebraic group is an algebraic variety endowed with a group structure which is compatible with its structure as an algebraic variety. Thus the study of algebraic groups belongs both to algebraic geometry and group theory. Ma ...s. He's been the dean of Exact Sciences since October 2021.

Bar Ilan University
Bar-Ilan University (BIU, he, אוניברסיטת בר-אילן, ''Universitat Bar-Ilan'') is a public research university in the Tel Aviv District city of Ramat Gan, Israel. Established in 1955, Bar Ilan is Israel's second-largest academic institution. It has about 20,000 students and 1,350 Faculty (university), faculty members. Bar-Ilan's mission is to "blend Jews, Jewish tradition with modern technologies and scholarship and the university endeavors to ... teach the Jewish heritage to all its students while providing [an] academic education." History Bar-Ilan University has Jewish-American roots: It was conceived in Atlanta in a meeting of the Mizrachi (religious Zionism)#In the United States, American Mizrahi organization in 1950, and was founded by Professor Pinkhos Churgin, an American Orthodox Judaism, Orthodox rabbi and educator, who was president from 1955 to 1957 where he was succeeded by Joseph H. Lookstein who was president from 1957 to 1967. When it was opened ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Division Algebras
In the field of mathematics called abstract algebra, a division algebra is, roughly speaking, an algebra over a field in which division, except by zero, is always possible. Definitions Formally, we start with a non-zero algebra ''D'' over a field. We call ''D'' a division algebra if for any element ''a'' in ''D'' and any non-zero element ''b'' in ''D'' there exists precisely one element ''x'' in ''D'' with ''a'' = ''bx'' and precisely one element ''y'' in ''D'' such that . For associative algebras, the definition can be simplified as follows: a non-zero associative algebra over a field is a division algebra if and only if it has a multiplicative identity element 1 and every non-zero element ''a'' has a multiplicative inverse (i.e. an element ''x'' with ). Associative division algebras The best-known examples of associative division algebras are the finite-dimensional real ones (that is, algebras over the field R of real numbers, which are finite- dimensional as a vector space ...

Gelfand–Kirillov Dimension
In algebra, the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension (or GK dimension) of a right module ''M'' over a ''k''-algebra ''A'' is: :\operatorname = \sup_ \limsup_ \log_n \dim_k M_0 V^n where the supremum is taken over all finite-dimensional subspaces V \subset A and M_0 \subset M. An algebra is said to have polynomial growth if its Gelfand–Kirillov dimension is finite. Basic facts *The Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of a finitely generated commutative algebra ''A'' over a field is the Krull dimension of ''A'' (or equivalently the transcendence degree of the field of fractions of ''A'' over the base field.) *In particular, the GK dimension of the polynomial ring k _1, \dots, x_n/math> Is ''n''. *(Warfield) For any real number ''r'' ≥ 2, there exists a finitely generated algebra whose GK dimension is ''r''. In the theory of D-Modules Given a right module ''M'' over the Weyl algebra A_n, the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of ''M'' over the Weyl algebra coincides with the dimension of ''M ...

Coxeter Group
In mathematics, a Coxeter group, named after H. S. M. Coxeter, is an abstract group that admits a formal description in terms of reflections (or kaleidoscopic mirrors). Indeed, the finite Coxeter groups are precisely the finite Euclidean reflection groups; the symmetry groups of regular polyhedra are an example. However, not all Coxeter groups are finite, and not all can be described in terms of symmetries and Euclidean reflections. Coxeter groups were introduced in 1934 as abstractions of reflection groups , and finite Coxeter groups were classified in 1935 . Coxeter groups find applications in many areas of mathematics. Examples of finite Coxeter groups include the symmetry groups of regular polytopes, and the Weyl groups of simple Lie algebras. Examples of infinite Coxeter groups include the triangle groups corresponding to regular tessellations of the Euclidean plane and the hyperbolic plane, and the Weyl groups of infinite-dimensional Kac–Moody algebras.

Combinatorial Group Theory
In mathematics, combinatorial group theory is the theory of free groups, and the concept of a presentation of a group by generators and relations. It is much used in geometric topology, the fundamental group of a simplicial complex having in a natural and geometric way such a presentation. A very closely related topic is geometric group theory, which today largely subsumes combinatorial group theory, using techniques from outside combinatorics besides. It also comprises a number of algorithmically insoluble problems, most notably the word problem for groups; and the classical Burnside problem. History See for a detailed history of combinatorial group theory. A proto-form is found in the 1856 icosian calculus of William Rowan Hamilton, where he studied the icosahedral symmetry group via the edge graph of the dodecahedron. The foundations of combinatorial group theory were laid by Walther von Dyck, student of Felix Klein Christian Felix Klein (; 25 April 1849 – 22 Ju ...

Algebraic Group
In mathematics, an algebraic group is an algebraic variety endowed with a group structure which is compatible with its structure as an algebraic variety. Thus the study of algebraic groups belongs both to algebraic geometry and group theory. Many groups of geometric transformations are algebraic groups; for example, orthogonal groups, general linear groups, projective groups, Euclidean groups, etc. Many matrix groups are also algebraic. Other algebraic groups occur naturally in algebraic geometry, such as elliptic curves and Jacobian varieties. An important class of algebraic groups is given by the affine algebraic groups, those whose underlying algebraic variety is an affine variety; they are exactly the algebraic subgroups of the general linear group, and are therefore also called ''linear algebraic groups''. Another class is formed by the abelian varieties, which are the algebraic groups whose underlying variety is a projective variety. Chevalley's structure theorem states ...
