Following the work of C. Miller [18], R. K. Dennis in [10] introduced the nonabelian tensor square which is a specialization of the more general nonabelian tensor product independently introduced by R. Brown and J.-L. Loday [6]. By computing the nonabelian tensor square we mean finding a standard or simplified presentation for it. In the case of finite groups, the definition of the nonabelian tensor square gives a finite presentation that can be simplified using Tietze transformations. This simplified presentation can then be examined to determine the nonabelian tensor square. This was the approach taken in [3], in which the nonabelian tensor square was computed for each nonabelian group of order up to 30. Creating a presentation from the definition of the nonabelian tensor square, simplifying it using Tietze transformations and computing a structure description from the simplified presentation can be implemented in few lines of GAP [16]. However, this strategy does not scale well to finite groups G having order greater than 100 since the initial presentation has jGj 2 generators and 2jGj 3 relations.","PeriodicalId":103198,"journal":{"name":"Irish Mathematical Society Bulletin","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129249536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, Lima found a remarkable two-term dilogarithm identity whose proof was based on a hyperbolic form of a proof for the Basel problem given by Beukers, Kolk, and Calabi. A number of simple proofs for this identity that make use of known functional relations for the dilogarithm function are given and an application of Lima’s identity to another two-term dilogarithm evaluation is presented.","PeriodicalId":103198,"journal":{"name":"Irish Mathematical Society Bulletin","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129462935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, linear multiplicative operations in the work [55] by Vulikh are disjointness preserving operators in disguise. However, only during the last decades have they made a formal entry into the development of vector lattices. A first systematic study of disjointness preserving operators goes back to the pioneering note [4] by Abramovich, Veksler, and Koldunov published in the end of the seventies. From then on, the interest in disjointness preserving operators has steadily grown and a series of works devoted to the subject appeared in the literature. In this regard, spectral properties of order bounded disjointness preserving operators were considered in great details in [8, 30]. On the other hand, invertible disjointness preserving operators occupied a prominent role in a vast literature, such as [7, 20, 33, 35] and mainly the remarkable memoir [3] by Abramovich and Kitover. One of the external reasons for the continuing interest in disjointness preserving operators is the fact that precisely the order bounded disjointness preserving operators allow multiplicative representations as weighted composition operators and, more generally, polar decompositions [2, 19, 28, 39]. They thus found applications in the theory of singular and integral equation, dynamical system, and differential equations with delayed time [38, 46, 51]. The present survey on order bounded disjointness preserving operators has two main objectives. First, convince the young researchers in vector lattices that disjointness preserving operators constitute an honorable research activity.

A well-known result of Sinclair and Tullo [9] states that an associative Noetherian Banach algebra is finite dimensional. This result was extended in [2] to the alternative case. In this paper, we are concerned with associative and alternative Banach algebras in which every left ideal is countably generated. Several papers have appeared dealing with countably generated ideals in some Banach algebras (like in [4], [6]). It should be pointed out that sometimes we have some surprising facts, see for example [7] and [8]. It is clear that we can treat directly the alternative case, since every associative algebra is alternative. But our purpose here is to present the methods rather than the results. And the proof of the alternative case is rather more complicated.","PeriodicalId":103198,"journal":{"name":"Irish Mathematical Society Bulletin","volume":"164 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127374039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
