Multipliers and Unicentral Diassociative Algebras (2107.06947v1)

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to develop diassociative analogues of Lie-theoretic results from Peggy Batten's 1993 dissertation. We first prove that covers of diassociative algebras are unique. Second, we show that the multiplier of a diassociative algebra is characterized by the second cohomology group with coefficients in the field. Third, we establish criteria for when the center of a cover maps onto the center of the algebra. Along the way, we obtain a collection of exact sequences, characterizations, and a brief theory of unicentral diassociative algebras and stem extensions. This paper is part of an ongoing project to advance extension theory in the context of several Loday algebras.
