We study prime and semiprime Novikov algebras. We prove that prime nonassociative Novikov algebra has zero nucleus and center. It is well known that an ideal of an alternative (semi)prime algebra is (semi)prime algebra. We proved this statement for Novikov algebras. It implies that a Baer radical exists in a class of Novikov algebras. Also, we proved that a minimal ideal of Novikov algebra is either trivial, or a simple algebra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
