Rings with projective principal right ideals

It has been proved that if A is a right-distributive ring, algebraic over its center, and whose principal ideals are projective, then A is a left-distributive ring.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 42, No. 6, pp. 861–863, June, 1990.     

A connected space with a dispersion point without fixed-point property

In 1986 Hidefumi Katsuura asked whether there is a connected space with a dispersion point that does not have the fixed-point property. We answer this question in the affirmative.     

System of differential equations with a strong turning point

The uniform asymptotics of a solution of a system of singularly perturbed differential equations with strong turning point is constructed. We study the case where the boundary operator is analytic with respect to a small parameter.     

An identity with generalized derivations on lie ideals, right ideals and Banach algebras

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, U the Utumi quotient ring of R, C = Z(U) the extended centroid of R, L a non-central Lie ideal of R, F a non-zero generalized derivation of R. Suppose that [F(u), u]F(u) = 0 for all u ε L, then one of the following holds:

1. there exists α ε C such that F(x) = α x for all x ε R
2. R satisfies the standard identity s ₄ and there exist a ε U and α ε C such that F(x) = ax + xa + αx for all x ε R.

We also extend the result to the one-sided case. Finally, as an application we obtain some range inclusion results of continuous or spectrally bounded generalized derivations on Banach algebras.     

Finite-dimensional right ideals in some algebras associated with a locally compact group

Let be a discrete group, a commutative discrete cancellative semigroup or a locally compact abelian group. Let be the space of bounded, uniformly continuous, complex-valued functions on With an Arens-type product, the conjugate becomes a Banach algebra. We prove, that unlike left ideals, finite-dimensional right ideals exist in if and only if is compact.

     

Embedding relations connected with strong approximation of Fourier series

We consider the embedding relation between the class W ^q H _β ^ω , including only odd functions and a set of functions defined via the strong means of Fourier series of odd continuous functions. We establish an improvement of a recent theorem of Le and Zhou [Math. Inequal. Appl. 11(4) (2008) 749–756] which is a generalization of Tikhonov’s results [Anal. Math. 31 (2005) 183–194]. We also extend the Leindler theorem [Anal. Math. 31 (2005) 175–182] concerning sequences of Fourier coefficients.     

The upper connected geodetic number and forcing connected geodetic number of a graph

For a connected graph G of order p≥2, a set S⊆V(G) is a geodetic set of G if each vertex v∈V(G) lies on an x-y geodesic for some elements x and y in S. The minimum cardinality of a geodetic set of G is defined as the geodetic number of G, denoted by g(G). A geodetic set of cardinality g(G) is called a g-set of G. A connected geodetic set of G is a geodetic set S such that the subgraph G[S] induced by S is connected. The minimum cardinality of a connected geodetic set of G is the connected geodetic number of G and is denoted by g_c(G). A connected geodetic set of cardinality g_c(G) is called a g_c-set of G. A connected geodetic set S in a connected graph G is called a minimal connected geodetic set if no proper subset of S is a connected geodetic set of G. The upper connected geodetic number is the maximum cardinality of a minimal connected geodetic set of G. We determine bounds for and determine the same for some special classes of graphs. For positive integers r,d and n≥d+1 with r≤d≤2r, there exists a connected graph G with , and . Also, for any positive integers 2≤a<b≤c, there exists a connected graph G such that g(G)=a, g_c(G)=b and . A subset T of a g_c-set S is called a forcing subset for S if S is the unique g_c-set containing T. A forcing subset for S of minimum cardinality is a minimum forcing subset of S. The forcing connected geodetic number of S, denoted by f_c(S), is the cardinality of a minimum forcing subset of S. The forcing connected geodetic number of G, denoted by f_c(G), is f_c(G)=min{f_c(S)}, where the minimum is taken over all g_c-sets S in G. It is shown that for every pair a,b of integers with 0≤a≤b−4, there exists a connected graph G such that f_c(G)=a and g_c(G)=b.     

Orders in regular rings with minimal condition for principal right ideals

ABSTRACT

A ring R is called an n-clean (resp. Σ-clean) ring if every element in R is n-clean (resp. Σ-clean). Clean rings are 1-clean and hence are Σ-clean. An example shows that there exists a 2-clean ring that is not clean. This shows that Σ-clean rings are a proper generalization of clean rings. The group ring ?_(p) G with G a cyclic group of order 3 is proved to be Σ-clean. The m× m matrix ring M _m (R) over an n-clean ring is n-clean, and the m×m (m>1) matrix ring M _m (R) over any ring is Σ-clean. Additionally, rings satisfying a weakly unit 1-stable range were introduced. Rings satisfying weakly unit 1-stable range are left-right symmetric and are generalizations of abelian π-regular rings, abelian clean rings, and rings satisfying unit 1-stable range. A ring R satisfies a weakly unit 1-stable range if and only if whenever a ₁ R + ˙˙˙ a _m R = dR, with m ≥ 2, a ₁,…, a _m, d ∈ R, there exist u ₁ ∈ U(R) and u ₂,…, u _m ∈ W(R) such that a ₁ u ₁ + ? a _m u _m = Rd.     

Engel type identities with derivations for right ideals in prime rings

Let R be a prime ring of char R≠2, d a non-zero derivation of R and ρ a non-zero right ideal of R such that [[d(x),d(y)]_n [y,x]_m] = 0 for all x,y ∈ ρ or [[d(x),d(y)]_n d[y,x]_m] = 0 for all x,y ∈ ρ, n, m ≥ 0 are fixed integers. If [ρ,ρ]ρ ≠ 0, then d(ρ)ρ = 0.     

Congruences and ideals on Boolean modules: a heterogeneous point of view

Definitions for heterogeneous congruences and heterogeneous ideals on a Boolean module $\mathcal {M}$ are given and the respective lattices $\mathrm{Cong}\mathcal {M}$ and $\mathrm{Ide}\mathcal {M}$ are presented. A characterization of the simple bijective Boolean modules is achieved differing from that given by Brink in a homogeneous approach. We construct the smallest and the greatest modular congruence having the same Boolean part. The same is established for modular ideals. The notions of kernel of a modular congruence and the congruence induced by a modular ideal are introduced to describe an isomorphism between $\mathrm{Cong}\mathcal {M}$ and $\mathrm{Ide}\mathcal {M}$. This isomorphism leads us to conclude that the class of the Boolean module is ideal determined.
