Weakly left localizable rings

A new class of rings, the class of weakly left localizable rings, is introduced. A ring R is called weakly left localizable if each non-nilpotent element of R is invertible in some left localization S^?1R of the ring R. Explicit criteria are given for a ring to be a weakly left localizable ring provided the ring has only finitely many maximal left denominator sets (eg, this is the case for all left Noetherian rings). It is proved that a ring with finitely many maximal left denominator sets that satisfies some natural conditions is a weakly left localizable ring iff its left quotient ring is a direct product of finitely many local rings such that their radicals are nil ideals.     

Further characterizations of Artinian rings

New characterizations are found for Artinian, as well as for semiprimary rings.     

Left and right distributive rings

By a distributive module we mean a module with a distributive lattice of submodules. LetA be a right distributive ring that is algebraic over its center and letB be the quotient ring ofA by its prime radicalH. ThenB is a left distributive ring, andH coincides with the set of all nilpotent elements ofA.Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 58, No. 4, pp. 604–627, October, 1995.

Left APP differential polynomial rings

A ring R is called a left APP-ring if for each element a∈R, the left annihilator l_R(Ra) is right s-unital as an ideal of R or equivalently R∕l_R(Ra) is flat as a left R-module. In this paper, we show that for a ring R and derivation δ of R, R is left APP if and only if R is δ-weakly rigid and the differential polynomial ring R[x;δ] is left APP. As a consequence, we see that if R is a left APP-ring, then the n^th Weyl algebra over R is left APP. Also we define δ-left APP (resp. p.q.-Baer) rings and we show that R is left APP (resp. p.q.-Baer) if and only if for each derivation δ of R, R is δ-weakly rigid and δ-left APP (resp. p.q.-Baer). Finally we prove that R[x;δ] is left APP (resp. p.q.-Baer) if and only if R is δ-left APP (resp. p.q.-Baer).     

New characterizations for core inverses in rings with involution

The core inverse for a complex matrix was introduced by O. M. Baksalary and G. Trenkler. D. S. Raki?, N. ?. Din?i? and D. S. Djordjevi? generalized the core inverse of a complex matrix to the case of an element in a ring. They also proved that the core inverse of an element in a ring can be characterized by five equations and every core invertible element is group invertible. It is natural to ask when a group invertible element is core invertible. In this paper, we will answer this question. Let R be a ring with involution, we will use three equations to characterize the core inverse of an element. That is, let a, b ∈ R. Then a ∈ R# with a# = b if and only if (ab)* = ab, ba² = a, and ab² = b. Finally, we investigate the additive property of two core invertible elements. Moreover, the formulae of the sum of two core invertible elements are presented.     

Strictly localizable measures

It is proved that, under the Continuum Hypotesis (CH), every complete, locally determined, Radon measures of type (H), on a topological space with countable basis, is strictly localizable. This result is useful in the theory of invariant measures on a topological group and, in particular, in the theory of Hausdorff measures.     

Left selfdistributive rings generated by idempotents

Left selfdistributive rings (i.e., xyz = xyxz) which are semidirect sums of boolean rings and rings nilpotent of index at most 3 are studied.     

Invariant subspaces and localizable spectrum

LetT L(X) be a continuous linear operator on a complex Banach spaceX. We show thatT possesses non-trivial closed invariant subspaces if its localizable spectrum _loc(T) is thick in the sense of the Scott Brown theory. Since for quotients of decomposable operators the spectrum and the localizable spectrum coincide, it follows that each quasiaffine transformation of a Banach-space operator with Bishop's property () and thick spectrum has a non-trivial invariant subspace. In particular it follows that invariant-subspace results previously known for restrictions and quotients of decomposable operators are preserved under quasisimilarity.     

Some characterizations of Gorenstein local rings in terms of G-dimension

We characterize Gorenstein local rings by the existence of special modules of finite G-dimension. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

New characterizations of pseudo-Frobenius rings and a generalization of the FGF conjecture

We provide new characterizations of pseudo-Frobenius and quasi-Frobenius rings in terms of tight modules. In the process, we also provide fresh perspectives on FGF and CF conjectures. In particular, we propose new natural extensions of these conjectures which connect them with the classical theory of PF rings. Our techniques are mainly based on settheoretic counting arguments initiated by Osofsky. Several corollaries and examples to illustrate their applications are given.     

Weighted Lipschitz spaces and their analytic characterizations

Weighted Lipschitz spaces are studied where the growth function varies, i.e., $$|f(x + h) - f(x)| \leqslant C\rho (h)$$ and where the growth function may also depend on x. Connections between a functionf defined on the complex unit circle and its analytic extensionF to the inside are given. In particular, theory relating the Lipschitz growth of the boundary function and derivative growth of the analytic function is developed. An atomic decomposition of the boundary values of a weighted Besov space is also obtained.     

Reflexive rings and their extensions

A right ideal I is reflexive if xRy ∈ I implies yRx ∈ I for x, y ∈ R. We shall call a ring R a reflexive ring if aRb = 0 implies bRa = 0 for a, b ∈ R. We study the properties of reflexive rings and related concepts. We first consider basic extensions of reflexive rings. For a reduced iedal I of a ring R, if R/I is reflexive, we show that R is reflexive. We next discuss the reflexivity of some kinds of polynomial rings. For a quasi-Armendariz ring R, it is proved that R is reflexive if and only if R[x] is reflexive if and only if R[x; x ^?1] is reflexive. For a right Ore ring R with Q its classical right quotient ring, we show that if R is a reflexive ring then Q is also reflexive. Moreover, we characterize weakly reflexive rings which is a weak form of reflexive rings and investigate its properties. Examples are given to show that weakly reflexive rings need not be semicommutative. It is shown that if R is a semicommutative ring, then R[x] is weakly reflexive.     

Left dihedral codes over finite chain rings

Let R be a finite commutative chain ring, $D_{2n}$ be the dihedral group of size 2n and $R[D_{2n}]$ be the dihedral group ring. In this paper, we completely characterize left ideals of $R[D_{2n}]$ (called left $D_{2n}$-codes) when $\gcd (char(R),n)=1$. In this way, we explore the structure of some skew-cyclic codes of length 2 over R and also over $R\times S$, where S is an isomorphic copy of R. As a particular result, we give the structure of cyclic codes of length 2 over R. In the case where $R={\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}$ is a Galois field, we give a classification for left $D_{2N}$-codes over ${\mathbb{F}}_{p^m}$, for any positive integer N. In both cases we determine dual codes and identify self-dual ones.     

Three general multivariate semi-Pareto distributions and their characterizations

Three general multivariate semi-Pareto distributions are developed in this paper. First one—GMP^(k)(III) has univariate Pareto (III) marginals, it is characterized by the minimum of two independent and identically distributed random vectors. Second one—GMSP has univariate semi-Pareto marginals and it is characterized by finite sample minima. Third one—MSP is characterized through a geometric minimization procedure. All these three characterizations are based on the general and the particular solutions of the Euler's functional equations of k-variates.     

New characterizations of EP, generalized normal and generalized Hermitian elements in rings

We present a number of new characterizations of EP elements in rings with involution in purely algebraic terms. Then, we study equivalent conditions for an element a in a ring with involution to satisfy aⁿa^∗ = a^∗aⁿ or aⁿ = (a^∗)ⁿ for arbitrary n ∈ N. For n = 1, we present some new characterizations of normal and Hermitian elements in rings with involution.
