Serial Rings with T-Nilpotent Prime Radical

In this paper we consider serial rings with T-nilpotent prime radical, factor-rings of which by the prime radical are right Noetherian rings. We prove that the prime quiver of such a ring is a disconnected union of cycles and chains. In the case when the prime quiver of such a serial ring is a chain the prime radical is nilpotent. For serial rings with nilpotent prime radical we introduce an analogue of Kupisch series. Presented by Yu. Drozd Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000) 16P40, 16G10.     

REGULARITIES AND SUBDIRECT PRODUCTS OF RINGS

Abstract

Structure theorems are obtained for certain radical classes of rings (including the Brown-McCoy radical class, the class of λ-rings, the class of E ₅-rings, the class of E ₆-rings and the class of f-regular rings) by generalizing the concept of a prime ideal.     

On regular rings and V-rings

In this note, certain generalisations of strongly regular rings are considered in connection with regular rings andV-rings. The result that strongly regular rings are left (and right)V-rings [11] is extended. A condition for prime leftV-rings to be primitive with non-zero socle is given (this is related to a question ofFisher [7, Problem 3]. IfA is an ALD (almost left duo) ring, then (1) a simple leftA-module is injective iff it isp-injective; (2)A is von Neumann regular iff every maximal essential right ideal ofA isf-injective. Characterisations of semi-simple Artinian and simple Artinian rings are given in terms of regular andV-rings.     

Finitely 1-convex f-rings

This paper investigates f-rings that can be constructed in a finite number of steps where every step consists of taking the fibre product of two f-rings, both being either a 1-convex f-ring or a fibre product obtained in an earlier step of the construction. These are the f-rings that satisfy the algebraic property that rings of continuous functions possess when the underlying topological space is finitely an F-space (i.e. has a Stone-?ech compactification that is a finite union of compact F-spaces). These f-rings are shown to be SV f-rings with bounded inversion and finite rank and, when constructed from semisimple f-rings, their maximal ideal space under the hull-kernel topology contains a dense open set of maximal ideals containing a unique minimal prime ideal. For a large class of these rings, the sum of prime, semiprime, primary and z-ideals are shown to be prime, semiprime, primary and z-ideals respectively.     

Projective Representations of Quivers #

In the first part of this article, we describe the projective representations in the category of representations by modules of a quiver which does not contain any cycles and the quiver A _∞ as a subquiver, that is, the so-called rooted quivers. As a consequence of this, we show when the category of representations by modules of a quiver admits projective covers. In the second part, we develop a technique involving matrix computations for the quiver A _∞, which will allow us to characterize the projective representations of A _∞. This will improve some previous results and make more accurate the statement made in Benson (1991 Benson , D. J. ( 1991 ). Representations and Cohomology I . Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics , Vol. 30 . Cambridge : Cambridge University Press . [Google Scholar]). We think this technique can be applied in many other general situations to provide information about the decomposition of a projective module.     

PRME AND k-PRIME IDEALS IN Ω-GROUPS

Abstract

In this paper we define two concepts of prime ideals for Ω-groups. The first generalizes the definitions of prime ideal in rings, nearrings, Γ-rings, associative algebras and Lie algebras. The second generalizes a concept defined for groups by ??ukin ([21]). We show that both lead to radicals in the sense of Hoehnke ([10]). Furthermore in the case of rings, Γ-rings, abelian zero-symmetric nearrings and cubic rings these two definitions coincide, thus obtaining a new characterization for the prime ideal. Zero-symmetric Ω-groups are defined analogously to the nearring case and a new characterization in term of ideals is given.     

Non-Transitive Generalizations of Subdirect Products of Linearly Ordered Rings

Weakly associative lattice rings (wal-rings) are non-transitive generalizations of lattice ordered rings (l-rings). As is known, the class of l-rings which are subdirect products of linearly ordered rings (i.e. the class of f-rings) plays an important role in the theory of l-rings. In the paper, the classes of wal-rings representable as subdirect products of to-rings and ao-rings (both being non-transitive generalizations of the class of f-rings) are characterized and the class of wal-rings having lattice ordered positive cones is described. Moreover, lexicographic products of weakly associative lattice groups are also studied here.     

Quiver Algebras of Coverings and Twisted Tensor Products

Given a covering Γ of a quiver Δ, we show that the quiver algebra K[Γ] of Γ over a field K is a twisted tensor product of the quiver algebra of the fibre of the covering viewed as a trivial quiver and the quiver algebra K[Δ]. To make sense of this, we first extend the theory of twisted tensor products of algebras to include algebras without units.     

On QB ∞-Rings

In this article, we introduce a new class of rings, the QB _∞-rings. We establish various properties of this concept. These show that, in several respects, QB _∞-rings behave like QB-rings. We prove that the notion of QB _∞-rings is a Morita invariant property of rings and every finite subdirect product of QB _∞-rings is a QB _∞-ring. We also exhibit examples to point out that the class of QB _∞-rings is much larger than the class of QB-rings.     

Division closed lattice-ordered rings and commutative L*-rings

Abstract

The paper continues the study of division closed lattice-ordered rings and commutative L*-rings. More interesting properties of division closed lattice-ordered rings are presented and it is shown that under certain conditions such rings are f-rings. The main result on L*-rings is that for a commutative semilocal ring with the identity, it is L* if and only if it is O*.     

Some rings are hereditary rings

LetR be a bounded Noetherian Prime ring. The Asano-Michler theorem shows thatR is a bounded Dedekind ring if every prime ideal ofR is invertible. We provide a simple proof of the Asano-Michler theorem, and we suggest some possible generalizations. We also prove that if the proper residue rings ofR areQF-rings thenR is a bounded Dedekind ring, and generalize this result toLD-rings.     

On Weak Dual Rickart Modules and Dual Baer Modules

We introduce and study the notion of wd-Rickart modules (i.e. modules M such that for every nonzero endomorphism ? of M, the image of ? contains a nonzero direct summand of M). We show that the class of rings R for which every right R-module is wd-Rickart is exactly that of right semi-artinian right V-rings. We prove that a module M is dual Baer if and only if M is wd-Rickart and M has the strong summand sum property. Several structure results for some classes of wd-Rickart modules and dual Baer modules are provided. Some relevant counterexamples are indicated.     

Algebraic geometry over the residue field of the infinite place

Nikolai Durov introduced the theory of generalized rings and schemes to study Arakelov geometry in an alternative algebraic framework, and introduced the residue field at the infinite place, 𝔽_∞. We show an elementary algebraic approach to modules and algebras over this object, define prime congruences, show that the polynomial ring of n variables is of Krull dimension n, and derive a prime decomposition theorem for these primes.     

On Trivial Extensions of 2-Fundamental Algebras #

There are considered trivial extensions of minimal 2-fundamental algebras. It is shown that if the Auslander–Reiten quiver Γ _A of a minimal 2-fundamental algebra A contains a starting component or an ending component which is not generalized standard, then the Auslander–Reiten quiver Γ _T(A) of the trivial extension T(A) of A contains also a component that is not a generalized standard.     

On right S-Noetherian rings and S-Noetherian modules

In this paper we study right S-Noetherian rings and modules, extending notions introduced by Anderson and Dumitrescu in commutative algebra to noncommutative rings. Two characterizations of right S-Noetherian rings are given in terms of completely prime right ideals and point annihilator sets. We also prove an existence result for completely prime point annihilators of certain S-Noetherian modules with the following consequence in commutative algebra: If a module M over a commutative ring is S-Noetherian with respect to a multiplicative set S that contains no zero-divisors for M, then M has an associated prime.     

On UJ-rings

UJ-rings are studied, i.e., ring in which all units can be presented in a form 1+x, for some x∈J(R). The behavior of UJ-rings under various algebraic construction is investigated. In particular, it is shown that the problem of lifting the UJ property from a ring R to the polynomial ring R[x] is equivalent to the Köthe’s problem for 𝔽₂-algebras.     

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.
