For many matrix algebras, every associative automorphism is inner. We discuss results by Đoković that a non-associative Lie automorphism φ of a triangular matrix algebra Tₙ over a connected unital commutative ring, is of the form φ(A)=SAS⁻¹ + τ(A)I or φ(A)=−SJ Aᵀ JS⁻¹ + τ(A)I, where S ∈ Tₙ is invertible, J is an antidiagonal permutation matrix, and τ is a generalized trace. We incorporate additional arguments by Cao that extended Đoković’s result to unital commutative rings containing nontrivial idempotents. Following this we develop new results for Lie isomorphisms of block upper-triangular matrix algebras over unique factorization domains. We build on an approach used by Marcoux and Sourour to characterize Lie isomorphisms of nest algebras over separable Hilbert spaces. We find that these Lie isomorphisms generally follow the form φ = σ + τ where σ is either an associative isomorphism or the negative of an associative anti-isomorphism, and τ is an additive mapping into the center, which maps commutators to zero. This echoes established results by Martindale for simple and prime rings. / Graduate

Ainda no Capítulo 2,sem fazer qualquer suposição sobre o grupo G e ocorpo F, chegamos à mesma conclusão. Para tanto, foi necessário utilizar técnicas mais sutis na demonstração. No Capítulo 3, novamente supondo o grupo G abeliano e infinito e o corpo F algebricamente fechado e de característica zero,classificamos as G-graduações da F-álgebra UT(d1,...,dm). Veremos que,neste caso, existe uma decomposição d1 = tp1,...,dm = tpm talqueUT(d1,...,dm) é isomorfa, como álgebra G-graduada ,ao produto tensorial Mt(F)⊗UT(p1,...,pm), onde Mt(F) tem uma G-graduação na e UT(p1,...,pm) tem uma G-graduação elementar. / The central theme of this dissertation is the study the of the gradings of a group G in the algebras UTn(F) and UT(d1, . . . , dm). Initially, in Chapter 2, assuming G a nite abelian group and F an algebraically closed eld and of characteristic zero, we prove that any grading in UTn(F) is elementary (up to graded isomorphism). Still in Chapter 2, without making any assumption about the group G and the eld F, we obtain the same conclusion. To prove this was necessary to use more subtle techniques in demonstration. In Chapter 3, again assuming G a nite abelian group and F an algebraically closed eld of characteristic zero, we classify the gradings of the algebra UT(d1, . . . , dm). We will see that there is a decomposition d1 = tp1, . . . , dm = tpm such that UT(d1, ..., dm) is isomorphic, as graded algebra, to the tensor product Mt(F) ⊗ UT(p1, . . . , pm), where Mt(F) has a ne grading and UT(p1, . . . , pm) has a elementary grading.

Noncommutative geometry has over the past four of decades grown into a rich field of study. Novel ideas and concepts are rapidly being developed, and a notable application of the theory outside of pure mathematics is quantum theory. This thesis will focus on a derivation-based approach to noncommutative geometry using the framework of real calculi, which is a rather direct approach to the subject. Due to their direct nature, real calculi are useful when studying classical concepts in Riemannian geometry and how they may be generalized to a noncommutative setting. This thesis aims to shed light on algebraic aspects of real calculi by introducing a concept of morphisms of real calculi, which enables the study of real calculi on a structural level. In particular, real calculi over matrix algebras are discussed both from an algebraic and a geometric perspective.Morphisms are also interpreted geometrically, giving a way to develop a noncommutative theory of embeddings. As an example, the noncommutative torus is minimally embedded into the noncommutative 3-sphere. / Ickekommutativ geometri har under de senaste fyra decennierna blivit ett etablerat forskningsområde inom matematiken. Nya idéer och koncept utvecklas i snabb takt, och en viktig fysikalisk tillämpning av teorin är inom kvantteorin. Denna avhandling kommer att fokusera på ett derivationsbaserat tillvägagångssätt inom ickekommutativ geometri där ramverket real calculi används, vilket är ett relativt direkt sätt att studera ämnet på. Eftersom analogin mellan real calculi och klassisk Riemanngeometri är intuitivt klar så är real calculi användbara när man undersöker hur klassiska koncept inom Riemanngeometri kan generaliseras till en ickekommutativ kontext. Denna avhandling ämnar att klargöra vissa algebraiska aspekter av real calculi genom att introducera morfismer för dessa, vilket möjliggör studiet av real calculi på en strukturell nivå. I synnerhet diskuteras real calculi över matrisalgebror från både ett algebraiskt och ett geometriskt perspektiv. Morfismer tolkas även geometriskt, vilket leder till en ickekommutativ teori för inbäddningar. Som ett exempel blir den ickekommutativa torusen minimalt inbäddad i den ickekommutativa 3-sfären.

Métodos diferentes são empregados conforme a característica do corpo: se Char K = 0, à descrição das identidades graduadas se reduz a descrição das identidades multilineares, o que foi feito no Capítulo 2, onde são descritas as identidade de Mn(K) com uma classe ampla de graduações elementares; se Char K =p>0 e K é in nito, a descrição das identidades graduadas é reduzida à descrição das identidades multi-homogêneas, que torna o problema mais difícil, e técnicas como a construção de álgebras genéricas são necessárias.

Diferent methods are used depending on the characteristic of the field: if Char K = 0, the description of the graded identities is reduced to the description of the multilinear graded identities, what was done in Chapter 2, where the identities of Mn(K) are described for a wide class of elementary gradings; if Char K =p>0 and K is in nite, the description of the graded identities is reduced to the study of the multi-homogeneous identities, wich makes it harder, and techniques such as the construction of generic algebras are necessary. In Chapter 3 the Z and Zn-graded identities of Mn(K) are described for an infinite field K
