On minimal strongly prime ideals

In this paper we give some characterizations of a ring Rwhose unique maximal nil ideal N _r (R) coincides with the set of all its nilpotent elements N(R) by using its minimal strongly prime ideals.     

Prime elements from prime ideals

The prime ideal theorem for distributive lattices (PIT) is shown to imply that any complete distributive lattice with a compact unit has a prime element, which is then used to deduce from PIT that (1) every nontrivial ring with unit has a prime ideal, and (2) every Wallman locale is spatial.     

Pseudocomplementation and minimal prime ideals in semirings

In Section 2 of the present paper, we introduce the concept of pseudocomplementation for semirings and show the semiring version of some known results in lattice theory. We also introduce semirings with pc-functions and prove some interesting results for minimal prime ideals of such semirings. In Section 3, some classical results for minimal prime ideals in ring theory are generalized in the context of semiring theory.     

Maximal and minimal prime ideals of incidence algebras

Abstract

In this paper we study the relationship between some homological properties such as the weak and the global dimension, the strong n-coherence, and the (n, d)-property, where n and d are two integers, of a commutative ring and its subrings retract. A special application is the transfer of these properties from a commutative ring to its fixed subring with respect to a subgroup of its group of automorphisms. It concludes with a discussion of the scopes and limits of our results.     

On minimal prime ideals of commutative Bezout rings

We study the spectrum of minimal prime ideals of commutative Bezout rings. We apply the results obtained to the problem of diagonal reduction of matrices over rings of this sort.

Strongly prime alternative pairs with minimal inner ideals

In this paper, we use the known classification of the finite capacity simple alternative pairs and the version of the Litoff Theorem for Jordan pairs to describe all the strongly prime alternative pairs with nonzero socle. We study the inheritance of some properties (primeness, nondegenerancy,…) when passing from the original alternative pair to the symmetrized pair. Thus, we can apply Jordan theoretical results to the alternative case.

On nilpotent ideals in the cohomology ring of a finite group

In this paper we find upper bounds for the nilpotency degree of some ideals in the cohomology ring of a finite group by studying fixed point free actions of the group on suitable spaces. The ideals we study are the kernels of restriction maps to certain collections of proper subgroups. We recover the Quillen-Venkov lemma and the Quillen F-injectivity theorem as corollaries, and discuss some generalizations and further applications.We then consider the essential cohomology conjecture, and show that it is related to group actions on connected graphs. We discuss an obstruction for constructing a fixed point free action of a group on a connected graph with zero “k-invariant” and study the class related to this obstruction. It turns out that this class is a “universal essential class” for the group and controls many questions about the groups essential cohomology and transfers from proper subgroups.     

The space of minimal prime ideals in a 0-distributive semilattice

LetS be a 0-distributive semilattice and be its minimal spectrum. It is shown that is Hausdorff. The compactness of has been characterized in several ways. A representation theorem (like Stone's theorem for Boolean algebras) for disjunctive, 0-distributive semilattices is obtained.     

Lifting up an infinite chain of prime ideals to a valuation ring

We prove that for an arbitrary chain of prime ideals in an integral domain, there exists a valuation domain which has a chain of prime ideals lying over .

     

On minimal elements for a partial order of prime knots

In this paper, applying Chebyshev polynomials we give a basic proof of the irreducibility over the complex number field of the defining polynomial of SL₂(C)-character variety of twist knots in infinitely many cases. The irreducibility, combined with a result in the paper of M. Boileau, S. Boyer, A.W. Reid and S. Wang in 2010, shows the minimality of infinitely many twist knots for a partial order on the set of prime knots defined by using surjective group homomorphisms between knot groups. In Appendix B, we also give a straightforward proof of the result of Boileau et al.     

Invariance of minimal prime ideals of nonassociative rings under multiplicative isomorphisms

It is proved that the image of a minimal prime ideal under a multiplicative isomorphism in a nonassociative ring is also a minimal prime ideal and congruence with respect to its modulus is preserved.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
