Abstract:
Rota–Baxter operators have been studied since 1960, and there are lots of their applications in mathematical physics, number theory, and noncommutative geometry. We state a surprisingly general property of such operators: the spectrum of every Rota–Baxter operator of weight λ on a finite-dimensional unital (not necessarily associative) algebra is a subset of {0,−λ}. We even extend this result to the case of infinite-dimensional algebraic algebras (when charF = 0). Based on these results, we define a new invariant of an algebra: the Rota–Baxter λ-index rbλ(A)ofanalgebraA as the infimum of the degrees of minimal polynomials of all Rota–Baxter operators of weight λ on A.Wecompute the Rota–Baxter λ-index for the matrix algebra Mn(F), charF =0: it is shown that rbλ(Mn(F)) = 2n−1.
