On Ideals of Minors of Matrices with Indeterminate Entries

This article studies ideals of minors of matrices whose entries are among the variables of a polynomial ring. The main result is a theorem which gives sufficient conditions for these to be prime.     

Many associated primes of powers of primes

We construct families of prime ideals in polynomial rings for which the number of associated primes of the second power (or higher powers) is exponential in the number of variables in the ring.     

Partial Skew Polynomial Rings: Prime and Maximal Ideals

In this article, we consider rings R with a partial action α of a cyclic infinite group G on R. We define partial skew polynomial rings as natural subrings of the partial skew group ring R ?_α G. We study prime and maximal ideals of a partial skew polynomial ring when the given partial action α has an enveloping action.     

Coherent sequences of polynomial ideals on Banach spaces

This article deals with the relationship between an operator ideal and its natural polynomial extensions. We define the concept of coherent sequence of polynomial ideals and also the notion of compatibility between polynomial and operator ideals. We study the stability of these properties for maximal and minimal hulls, adjoint and composition ideals. We also relate these concepts with conditions on the underlying tensor norms (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Factorization of monic polynomials

We prove a uniqueness result about the factorization of a monic polynomial over a general commutative ring into comaximal factors. We apply this result to address several questions raised by Steve McAdam. These questions, inspired by Hensel's Lemma, concern properties of prime ideals and the factoring of monic polynomials modulo prime ideals.

     

Polynomials Contained in a Finite Number of Maximal Ideals

Abstract

Let R[X] be a polynomial ring in one variable over a commutative ring R. If (R,?) is a local ring then any Weierstrass polynomial in R[X] is contained only in the maximal ideal (?,X) of R[X]. We generalise this property of Weierstrass polynomials and investigate properties of polynomials contained in a finite number of maximal ideals in R[X].     

Ideals containing the squares of the variables

We study the Betti numbers of graded ideals containing the squares of the variables, in a polynomial ring. We prove the lex-plus-powers conjecture for such ideals.     

Symmetric complete intersections

We consider complete intersection ideals in a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero that are stable under the action of the symmetric group permuting the variables. We determine the possible representation types for these ideals and describe formulas for the graded characters of the corresponding quotient rings.     

Linked Primes and Orders in Artinian Rings

It is shown that prime ideals of a Noetherian ring are linked if and only if certain corresponding prime ideals are linked in an associated Artinian ring. Furthermore, it is shown that there is a canonical linking ideal, which can be found by using a construction based on middle annihilator ideals.     

On functional identities and d-free subsets of rings. II

We show that a map in several variables on a prime ring satisfying an identity of polynomial type must be a quasi-polynomial (i.e., a polynomial in noncommutative variables whose coefficients are Martindale centroid valued functions)provided that the ring does not satisfy a standard identity of low degree. Obtained results have applications to the study of Lie maps of prime rings (Lie ideals of prime rings and skew elements of prime rings with involution)and to the study of Lie-admissible algebras and Lie homomorphisms of Lie algebras of Poisson algebras.     

On Primitive Ideals in Polynomial Rings over Nil Rings

Let R be a nil ring. We prove that primitive ideals in the polynomial ring R[x] in one indeterminate over R are of the form I[x] for some ideals I of R. Presented by S.

The ring of Colombeau’s full generalized quaternions

In this paper, we introduce the ring of Colombeau full generalized quaternion, and we study its algebraic and topological properties. We prove that the ring of Colombeau full generalized quaternion is Gelfand, normal, duo and some related properties. Moreover, we study the essential ideals of this ring.     

Classification of multivariate skew polynomial rings over finite fields via affine transformations of variables

In this work, free multivariate skew polynomial rings are considered, together with their quotients over ideals of skew polynomials that vanish at every point (which includes minimal multivariate skew polynomial rings). We provide a full classification of such multivariate skew polynomial rings (free or not) over finite fields. To that end, we first show that all ring morphisms from the field to the ring of square matrices are diagonalizable, and that the corresponding derivations are all inner derivations. Secondly, we show that all such multivariate skew polynomial rings over finite fields are isomorphic as algebras to a multivariate skew polynomial ring whose ring morphism from the field to the ring of square matrices is diagonal, and whose derivation is the zero derivation. Furthermore, we prove that two such representations only differ in a permutation on the field automorphisms appearing in the corresponding diagonal. The algebra isomorphisms are given by affine transformations of variables and preserve evaluations and degrees. In addition, ours proofs show that the simplified form of multivariate skew polynomial rings can be found computationally and explicitly.     

Gröbner Bases for the Polynomial Ring with Infinite Variables and Their Applications

We develop the theory of Gröbner bases for ideals in a polynomial ring with countably infinite variables over a field. As an application we reconstruct some of the one-to-one correspondences among various sets of partitions by using the division algorithm.     

Descriptions of radicals of skew polynomial and skew Laurent polynomial rings

In this paper, we first characterize the Levitzki radical of a skew (Laurent) polynomial ring by the prime ideals and skewed prime ideals in the base ring. We next provide formulas for the strongly prime radical and the uniformly strongly prime radical of skew (Laurent) polynomial rings.     

On Rings for Which Finitely Generated Ideals Have Only Finitely Many Minimal Components

For a commutative ring R we investigate the property that the sets of minimal primes of finitely generated ideals of R are always finite. We prove this property passes to polynomial ring extensions (in an arbitrary number of variables) over R as well as to R-algebras which are finitely presented as R-modules.     

Border bases and kernels of homomorphisms and of derivations

Border bases are an alternative to Gröbner bases. The former have several more desirable properties. In this paper some constructions and operations on border bases are presented. Namely; the case of a restriction of an ideal to a polynomial ring (in a smaller number of variables), the case of the intersection of two ideals, and the case of the kernel of a homomorphism of polynomial rings. These constructions are applied to the ideal of relations and to factorizable derivations.     

Resolutions of monomial ideals of projective dimension 1

We show that a monomial ideal I in a polynomial ring S has projective dimension ≤ 1 if and only if the minimal free resolution of S∕I is supported on a graph that is a tree. This is done by constructing specific graphs which support the resolution of the S∕I. We also provide a new characterization of quasi-trees, which we use to give a new proof to a result by Herzog, Hibi, and Zheng which characterizes monomial ideals of projective dimension 1 in terms of quasi-trees.
