On graded nil clean rings

In this paper we introduce and study the notion of a graded (strongly) nil clean ring which is group graded. We also deal with extensions of graded (strongly) nil clean rings to graded matrix rings and to graded group rings. The question of when nil cleanness of the component, which corresponds to the neutral element of a group, implies graded nil cleanness of the whole graded ring is examined. Similar question is discussed in the case of groupoid graded rings as well.     

Primary decomposition over rings graded by finitely generated Abelian groups

Let A be a Noetherian ring which is graded by a finitely generated Abelian group G. In general, for G-graded modules there do not exist primary decompositions which are graded themselves. This is quite different from the case of gradings by torsion free group, for which graded primary decompositions always exists. In this paper we introduce G-primary decompositions as a natural analogue to primary decomposition for G-graded A-modules. We show the existence of G-primary decomposition and give a few characterizations analogous to Bourbaki's treatment for torsion free groups.     

On a class of coherent regular rings

The paper investigates a special class of quasi-local rings. It is shown that these rings are coherent and regular in the sense that every finitely generated submodule of a free module has a finite free resolution.

     

On co-semihereditary rings

A ringR is left co-semihereditary (strongly left co-semihereditary) if every finitely cogenerated factor of a finitely cogenerated (arbitrary) injective leftR-module is injective. A left co-semihereditary ring, which is not strongly left co-semihereditary, is given to answer a question of Miller and Tumidge in the negative. If _R U _S defines a Morita duality,R is proved to be left co-semihereditary (left semihereditmy) if and only ifS is right semihereditary (right co-semihereditary). Assuming thatS⩾R is an almost excellent extension,S is shown to be (strongly) right co-semihereditary if and only ifR is (strongly) right co-semihereditary.

Commutative rings whose proper ideals are direct sums of uniform modules

An interesting result, obtaining by some theorems of Asano, Köthe and Warfield, states that: “for a commutative ring R, every module is a direct sum of uniform modules if and only if R is an Artinian principal ideal ring.” Moreover, it is observed that: “every ideal of a commutative ring R is a direct sum of uniform modules if and only if R is a finite direct product of uniform rings.” These results raise a natural question: “What is the structure of commutative rings whose all proper ideals are direct sums of uniform modules?” The goal of this paper is to answer this question. We prove that for a commutative ring R, every proper ideal is a direct sum of uniform modules, if and only if, R is a finite direct product of uniform rings or R is a local ring with the unique maximal ideal ? of the form ? = U⊕S, where U is a uniform module and S is a semisimple module. Furthermore, we determine the structure of commutative rings R for which every proper ideal is a direct sum of cyclic uniform modules (resp., cocyclic modules). Examples which delineate the structures are provided.     

On maximal commutative subrings of non-commutative rings

We observe that every non-commutative unital ring has at least three maximal commutative subrings. In particular, non-commutative rings (resp., finite non-commutative rings) in which there are exactly three (resp., four) maximal commutative subrings are characterized. If R has acc or dcc on its commutative subrings containing the center, whose intersection with the nontrivial summands is trivial, then R is Dedekind-finite. It is observed that every Artinian commutative ring R, is a finite intersection of some Artinian commutative subrings of a non-commutative ring, in each of which, R is a maximal subring. The intersection of maximal ideals of all the maximal commutative subrings in a non-commutative local ring R, is a maximal ideal in the center of R. A ring R with no nontrivial idempotents, is either a division ring or a right ue-ring (i.e., a ring with a unique proper essential right ideal) if and only if every maximal commutative subring of R is either a field or a ue-ring whose socle is the contraction of that of R. It is proved that a maximal commutative subring of a duo ue-ring with finite uniform dimension is a finite direct product of rings, all of which are fields, except possibly one, which is a local ring whose unique maximal ideal is of square zero. Analogues of Jordan-Hölder Theorem (resp., of the existence of the Loewy chain for Artinian modules) is proved for rings with acc and dcc (resp., with dcc) on commutative subrings containing the center. A semiprime ring R has only finitely many maximal commutative subrings if and only if R has a maximal commutative subring of finite index. Infinite prime rings have infinitely many maximal commutative subrings.

On prime ideals and radicals of polynomial rings and graded rings

We extend some known results on radicals and prime ideals from polynomial rings and Laurent polynomial rings to Z$\mathbb{Z}$-graded rings, i.e, rings graded by the additive group of integers. The main of them concerns the Brown–McCoy radical G$G$ and the radical S$S$, which for a given ring A$A$ is defined as the intersection of prime ideals I$I$ of A$A$ such that A/I$A/I$ is a ring with a large center. The studies are related to some open problems on the radicals G$G$ and S$S$ of polynomial rings and situated in the context of Koethe’s problem.     

On the equivalence of codes over rings and modules

In light of the result by Wood that codes over every finite Frobenius ring satisfy a version of the MacWilliams equivalence theorem, a proof for the converse is considered. A strategy is proposed that would reduce the question to problems dealing only with matrices over finite fields. Using this strategy, it is shown, among other things, that any left MacWilliams basic ring is Frobenius. The results and techniques in the paper also apply to related problems dealing with codes over modules.     

Bounds for regularity and coregularity of graded modules

Let M be a finitely generated graded module over a Noetherian homogeneous ring R with local base ring (R ₀, m₀). If R ₀ is of dimension one, then we show that reg ⁱ⁺¹(M) and coreg ⁱ⁺¹(M) are bounded for all i ∈ ℕ₀. We improve these bounds, if in addition, R ₀ is either regular or analytically irreducible of unequal characteristic.     

On GC2 modules and their endomorphism rings

Let R be a ring. A module M_R is said to be GC₂ if for any N≤ M with N? M, N is a direct summand of M. In this article, we give some characterizations and properties of GC₂ modules and their endomorphism rings, and many results on C ₂ modules and GC₂ rings are generalized to GC₂ modules.
