Abstract:

It is shown that the Gromov translation ring of a discrete tree over a von Neumann regular ring is an exchange ring. This provides a new source of exchange rings, including, for example, the algebras $G(0)$ of $\omega \times \omega$ matrices (over a field) of constant bandwidth. An extension of these ideas shows that for all real numbers $r$ in the unit interval $[0,1]$, the growth algebras $G(r)$ (introduced by Hannah and O’Meara in 1993) are exchange rings. Consequently, over a countable field, countable-dimensional exchange algebras can take any prescribed bandwidth dimension $r$ in $[0,1]$.
