On Algebraic Anosov Diffeomorphisms on Nilmanifolds

This article is devoted to the algebraic approaches to Anosov diffeomorphisms. All examples of Anosov diffeomorphisms known so far are connected directly or indirectly with compact nilmanifolds. We consider some new necessary conditions for existence of these diffeomorphisms on nilmanifolds. We demonstrated the absence of Anosov diffeomorphisms on some classes of nilmanifolds. We also prove some results on Lie groups and lattices in them.

On the Commutative Twisted Group Algebras

Let G be an abelian group and let R be a commutative ring with identity. Denote by R _t G a commutative twisted group algebra (a commutative twisted group ring) of G over R, by ?(R) and ?(R _t G) the nil radicals of R and R _t G, respectively, by G _p the p-component of G and by G ₀ the torsion subgroup of G. We prove that:

1. If R is a ring of prime characteristic p, the multiplicative group R* of R is p-divisible and ?(R) = 0, then there exists a twisted group algebra R _{t 1} (G/G _p ) such that R _t G/?(R _t G) ? R _{t 1} (G/G _p ) as R-algebras;

2. If R is a ring of prime characterisitic p and R* is p-divisible, then ?(R _t G) = 0 if and only if ?(R) = 0 and G _p  = 1; and

3. If B(R) = 0, the orders of the elements of G ₀ are not zero divisors in R, H is any group and the commutative twisted group algebra R _t G is isomorphic as R-algebra to some twisted group algebra R _{t 1} H, then R _t G ₀ ? R _{t 1} H ₀ as R-algebras.

The Extensional Structure of Commutative Noetherian Rings

Abstract

We show that finitely generated modules over a commutative Noetherian ring can be classified, up to isomorphism of submodule series, in a manner analogous to the classification of integers as products of prime numbers. In outline, two such modules have isomorphic submodule series if and only if 1) the set of minimal associated prime ideals of these modules coincide, 2) the multiplicities of these modules at these prime ideals coincide, and 3) the modules represent the same element in a certain group corresponding to the above set of prime ideals. Regarding condition 3), we show that, in the very special case that the ring is a Dedekind domain, the group corresponding to the prime ideal (0) is the ideal class group of the ring.

A New Graph Structure of Commutative Semigroups

In this paper, a new zero-divisor graph $\overline{\G}(S)$ is defined and studied for a commutative semigroup $S$ with zero element. The properties and the structure of the graph are studied; for any complete graph and complete bipartite graph $G$, commutative semigroups $S$ are constructed such that the graph $G$ is isomorphic to $\overline{\G}(S)$.     

On Prime Spectrums of Commutative Rings

We show that π-regular rings and clean rings can be completely characterized by topological properties of their prime spectrums respectively. In addition, we give some applications of those result. Among others, we improve the main result of Samei (2004 Samei , K. ( 2004 ). Clean elements in commutative reduced rings . Comm. Algebra 32 ( 9 ): 3479 – 3486 . [CSA] [CROSSREF] [Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) and give a new criterion for a clean ring that a commutative ring is clean if and only if idempotents lifts modulo every radical ideal.     

On the Annihilator Graph of a Commutative Ring

Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity, Z(R) be its set of zero-divisors, and if a ∈ Z(R), then let ann _R (a) = {d ∈ R | da = 0}. The annihilator graph of R is the (undirected) graph AG(R) with vertices Z(R)* = Z(R)?{0}, and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if ann _R (xy) ≠ ann _R (x) ∪ ann _R (y). It follows that each edge (path) of the zero-divisor graph Γ(R) is an edge (path) of AG(R). In this article, we study the graph AG(R). For a commutative ring R, we show that AG(R) is connected with diameter at most two and with girth at most four provided that AG(R) has a cycle. Among other things, for a reduced commutative ring R, we show that the annihilator graph AG(R) is identical to the zero-divisor graph Γ(R) if and only if R has exactly two minimal prime ideals.     

On the Fully Commutative Elements of Coxeter Groups

Let W be a Coxeter group. We define an element w ε W to be fully commutative if any reduced expression for w can be obtained from any other by means of braid relations that only involve commuting generators. We give several combinatorial characterizations of this property, classify the Coxeter groups with finitely many fully commutative elements, and classify the parabolic quotients whose members are all fully commutative. As applications of the latter, we classify all parabolic quotients with the property that (1) the Bruhat ordering is a lattice, (2) the Bruhat ordering is a distributive lattice, (3) the weak ordering is a distributive lattice, and (4) the weak ordering and Bruhat ordering coincide.

On n-Absorbing Ideals of Commutative Rings

Let R be a commutative ring with 1 ≠ 0 and n a positive integer. In this article, we study two generalizations of a prime ideal. A proper ideal I of R is called an n-absorbing (resp., strongly n-absorbing) ideal if whenever x ₁…x _n+1 ∈ I for x ₁,…, x _n+1 ∈ R (resp., I ₁…I _n+1 ? I for ideals I ₁,…, I _n+1 of R), then there are n of the x _i 's (resp., n of the I _i 's) whose product is in I. We investigate n-absorbing and strongly n-absorbing ideals, and we conjecture that these two concepts are equivalent. In particular, we study the stability of n-absorbing ideals with respect to various ring-theoretic constructions and study n-absorbing ideals in several classes of commutative rings. For example, in a Noetherian ring every proper ideal is an n-absorbing ideal for some positive integer n, and in a Prüfer domain, an ideal is an n-absorbing ideal for some positive integer n if and only if it is a product of prime ideals.     

The Structure of Commutative Semigroups with the Ideal Retraction Property

A semigroup is said to have the ideal retraction property when each of its ideals is a homomorphic retraction of the whole semigroup. This paper presents a complete characterization of the commutative semigroups that enjoy this property. The fundamental building blocks of these semigroups are the 2-cores and the semilattice of idempotents. Structure for semilattices with the ideal retraction property was discussed in an earlier paper and the structure of the 2-core is described in detail within this paper.     

可换序半群的分式扩张

In this paper we extend the construction of the field of rational numbers from the ring of integers to an arbitrary commutative ordered semigroup.We first construct a fractional ordered semigroup and a homomorphism ψs:R→S-1R.Secondly,we characterize the commutative ordered semigroup so constructed by a universal mapping property.     

On the Key Equation Over a Commutative Ring

We define alternant codes over a commutative ring R and a corresponding key equation. We show that when the ring is a domain, e.g. the p-adic integers, the error-locator polynomial is the unique monic minimal polynomial (equivalently, the unique shortest linear recurrence) of the finite sequence of syndromes and that it can be obtained by Algorithm MR of Norton.WhenR is a local ring, we show that the syndrome sequence may have more than one (monic) minimal polynomial, but that all the minimal polynomials coincide modulo the maximal ideal ofR . We characterise the set of minimal polynomials when R is a Hensel ring. We also apply these results to decoding alternant codes over a local ring R: it is enough to find any monic minimal polynomial over R and to find its roots in the residue field. This gives a decoding algorithm for alternant codes over a finite chain ring, which generalizes and improves a method of Interlando et. al. for BCH and Reed-Solomon codes over a Galois ring.     

On the Dot Product Graph of a Commutative Ring

Let A be a commutative ring with nonzero identity, 1 ≤ n < ∞ be an integer, and R = A × A × … ×A (n times). The total dot product graph of R is the (undirected) graph TD(R) with vertices R* = R?{(0, 0,…, 0)}, and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if x·y = 0 ∈ A (where x·y denote the normal dot product of x and y). Let Z(R) denote the set of all zero-divisors of R. Then the zero-divisor dot product graph of R is the induced subgraph ZD(R) of TD(R) with vertices Z(R)* = Z(R)?{(0, 0,…, 0)}. It follows that each edge (path) of the classical zero-divisor graph Γ(R) is an edge (path) of ZD(R). We observe that if n = 1, then TD(R) is a disconnected graph and ZD(R) is identical to the well-known zero-divisor graph of R in the sense of Beck–Anderson–Livingston, and hence it is connected. In this paper, we study both graphs TD(R) and ZD(R). For a commutative ring A and n ≥ 3, we show that TD(R) (ZD(R)) is connected with diameter two (at most three) and with girth three. Among other things, for n ≥ 2, we show that ZD(R) is identical to the zero-divisor graph of R if and only if either n = 2 and A is an integral domain or R is ring-isomorphic to ?₂ × ?₂ × ?₂.     

On the Commutativity of Weakly Commutative Riemannian Homogeneous Spaces

A Riemannian homogeneous space X=G/H is said to be commutative if the algebra of G-invariant differential operators on X is commutative and weakly commutative if the associated Poisson algebra is commutative. Clearly, the commutativity of X implies its weak commutativity. The converse implication is proved in this paper.     

On the FIP Property for Extensions of Commutative Rings

ABSTRACT

A (unital) extension R ? T of (commutative) rings is said to have FIP (respectively be a minimal extension) if there are only finitely many (respectively no) rings S such that R ? S ? T. Transfer results for the FIP property for extensions of Nagata rings are obtained, including the following fact: if R ? T is a (module-) finite minimal ring extension, then R(X)?T(X) also is a (module-) finite minimal ring extension. The assertion obtained by replacing “is a (module-) finite minimal ring extension” with “has FIP” is valid if R is an infinite field but invalid if R is a finite field. A generalization of the Primitive Element Theorem is obtained by characterizing, for any field (more generally, any artinian reduced ring) R, the ring extensions R ? T which have FIP; and, if R is any field K, by describing all possible structures of the (necessarily minimal) ring extensions appearing in any maximal chain of intermediate rings between K and any such T. Transfer of the FIP and “minimal extension” properties is given for certain pullbacks, with applications to constructions such as CPI-extensions. Various sufficient conditions are given for a ring extension of the form R ? R[u], with u a nilpotent element, to have or not have FIP. One such result states that if R is a residually finite integral domain that is not a field and u is a nilpotent element belonging to some ring extension of R, then R ? R[u] has FIP if and only if (0 : u) ≠ 0. The rings R having only finitely many unital subrings are studied, with complete characterizations being obtained in the following cases: char(R)>0; R an integral domain of characteristic 0; and R a (module-)finite extension of ? which is not an integral domain. In particular, a ring of the last-mentioned type has only finitely many unital subrings if and only if (?:R)≠0. Some results are also given for the residually FIP property.
