let A_i be an odd integer, s_i be the square of a_i and t_i be the triangular number, (s_i -1)/8. Same for a_j , s_j, t_j, etc. Define Multiplication of n X A_i , etc to be n * s_i - t_j and division to be the reverse of this process. I found that

n X A_i X A_j X A_k = n X A_k X A_j X A_i = n X A_j X A_k X A_i etc.


for instance ((((4 * 9 - 1)*49 - 6)*25 -3) + 1) / 9 = (4*25-3)*49-6 = (4*49-6) * 25 - 3 = B

8*4-1 = 31 and 8*B - 1 = 31*25*49

Is there a simple way to prove this general result?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
n X A_i X A_j X A_k = n X A_k X A_j X A_i = n X A_j X A_k X A_i

I can barely make this out, since you didn't format it.
If I'm reading it right, this just follows from the commutativity of multiplication.

Yes, removing all unnecessary notation, the result your are looking for is the following:

Let k be a real number. For real numbers n and x, define n\circx=nx+k(x-1). Then (n\circx)\circy=n\circ(xy).

The proof of this is trivial, and your result is the special case of k=-1/8, and where nXa=n\circa2.
 
I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
