Abstract:
Let
$Y$ and
$X$ be preordered sets,
$R$ be an algebra over some commutative ring,
$K' = I(Y, R)$ and
$K = I(X, R)$ be incidence algebras. Several questions can be formulated regarding isomorphisms between the algebras
$K'$ and
$K$. One of them is known as the isomorphism problem. It is usually written in the following form. If the algebras
$K'$ and
$K$ are isomorphic, then will
$Y$ and
$X$ be isomorphic as preordered sets? Another general question asks us to find the structure of isomorphisms between
$K'$ and
$K$.
The article contains two theorems. Theorem 3.1, under certain assumptions about the algebras
$K'$ and
$K$ and the ring
$R$, gives a positive answer to the isomorphism problem. Theorem 3.2, under one condition on the algebras
$K'$ and
$K$, states that any isomorphism of the algebras
$K'$ and
$K$ after conjugation by an inner automorphism of the algebra
$K$ becomes a diagonal (in a certain sense) isomorphism.
Keywords:
incidence algebra, isomorphism, preordered set.
