We prove that the reduced free product of $k\;{\times}\;k$ matrix algebras over abelian $C^*$-algebras is not the minimal tensor product of reduced free products of $k\;{\times}\;k$ matrix algebras over abelian $C^*$-algebras. It is shown that the reduced group $C^*$-algebra associated with a group having the property T of Kazhdan is not isomorphic to a reduced free product of abelian $C^*$-algebras or the minimal tensor product of such reduced free products. The infinite tensor product of reduced free products of abelian $C^*$-algebras is not isomorphic to the tensor product of a nuclear $C^*$-algebra and a reduced free product of abelian $C^*$-algebra. We discuss the freeness of free product $II_1$-factors and solidity of free product $II_1$-factors weaker than that of Ozawa. We show that the freeness in a free product is related to the existence of Cartan subalgebras in free product $II_1$-factors. Finally, we give a free product factor which is not solid in the weak sense.

In 1945, the notion of free lattice over a poset was introduced by R. Dilworth (Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 57 (1945), 123{154). In this note, a construction of the free algebra over a poset in varieties finitely generated is shown. Finally, this result is applied to different classes of algebras.

We study crossed products of the free group and semigroup $C^*-algebras$ by actions of ${\mathbb{R}$, i.e., flows, and estimate and compute their stable rank.

In [6] and [7], we introduced graph von Neumann algebras which are the (groupoid) crossed product algebras of von Neumann algebras and graph groupoids via groupoid actions. We showed that such crossed product algebras have the graph-depending amalgamated reduced free probabilistic properties. In this paper, we will consider a scalar-valued $W^*$-probability on a given graph von Neumann algebra. We show that a diagonal graph $W^*$-probability space (as a scalar-valued $W^*$-probability space) and a graph W¤-probability space (as an amalgamated $W^*$-probability space) are compatible. By this compatibility, we can find the relation between amalgamated free distributions and scalar-valued free distributions on a graph von Neumann algebra. Under this compatibility, we observe the scalar-valued freeness on a graph von Neumann algebra.

In this paper we give some branching rules for the fundamental representations of Kac-Moody Lie algebras associated to T-shaped graphs. These formulas are useful to describe generators of the generic rings for free resolutions of length three described in [7]. We also make some conjectures about the generic rings.

Clones are sets of operations which are closed under composition and contain all projections. Identities of clones of term operations of a given algebra correspond to hyperidentities of this algebra, i.e., to identities which are satisfied after any replacements of fundamental operations by derived operations ([7]). If any identity of an algebra is satisfied as a hyperidentity, the algebra is called solid ([3]). Solid algebras correspond to free clones. These connections will be extended to so-called generalized clones, to strong hyperidentities and to strongly solid varieties. On the basis of a generalized superposition operation for terms we generalize the concept of a unitary Menger algebra of finite rank ([6]) to unitary Menger algebras with infinitely many nullary operations and prove that strong hyperidentities correspond to identities in free unitary Menger algebras with infinitely many nullary operations.

Molodtsov [5] introduced the concept of soft set as a new mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainties that is free from the difficulties that have troubled the usual theoretical approaches. In this paper we apply the notion of soft sets by Molodtsov to an implicative ideal of BCK-algebras. The notion of implicative soft ideals in BCK-algebras and implicative idealistic soft BCK-algebras is introduced, and related properties are investigated. Relations between implicative soft ideals and commutative (resp. positive implicative) soft ideals are discussed. Also, relations between implicative idealistic soft BCK-algebras and commutative (resp. positive implicative) idealistic soft BCK-algebras are provided.

Molodtsov [8] introduced the concept of soft set as a new mathematical tool for dealing with uncertainties that is free from the difficulties that have troubled the usual theoretical approaches. In this paper we apply the notion of soft sets by Molodtsov to the theory of subtraction algebras. The notion of soft WS-algebras, soft subalgebras and soft deductive systems are introduced, and their basic properties are derived.

Let G be a p-mixed abelian group with semi-complete torsion subgroup $G_t$ such that G is splitting or is of torsion-free rank one, and let R be a commutative unitary ring of prime characteristic p. It is proved that the group algebras RG and RH are R-isomorphic for any group H if and only if G and H are isomorphic. This isomorphism relationship extends our earlier results in (Southeast Asian Bull. Math., 2002), (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 2002) and (Bull. Korean Math. Soc., 2005) as well as completely settles a problem posed by W. May in (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 1979).
