On a class of coherent regular rings

The paper investigates a special class of quasi-local rings. It is shown that these rings are coherent and regular in the sense that every finitely generated submodule of a free module has a finite free resolution.

     

On schur rings of group rings of finite groups

Schur rings are rings associated to certain partitions of finite groups. They were introduced for applications in representation theory, cfr. [3][4].

The algebric structure of these rings has not been studied in depth. In this paper we determine explicit structure constants for Schur rings, we derive conditions for separability and we compute the centre. These results seem to be new even over fields.     

On idempotents of a class of commutative rings

Abstract

In the present work, a procedure for determining idempotents of a commutative ring having a sequence of ideals with certain properties is presented. As an application of this procedure, idempotent elements of various commutative rings are determined. Several examples are included illustrating the main results.     

On a class of finite solvable groups

A finite solvable group G is called an X-group if the subnormal subgroups of G permute with all the system normalizers of G. It is our purpose here to determine some of the properties of X-groups. Subgroups and quotient groups of X-groups are X-groups. Let M and N be normal subgroups of a group G of relatively prime order. If G/M and G/N are X-groups, then G is also an X-group. Let the nilpotent residual L of G be abelian. Then G is an X-group if and only if G acts by conjugation on L as a group of power automorphisms.     

On directed zero-divisor graphs of finite rings

For an artinian ring R, the directed zero-divisor graph Γ(R) is connected if and only if there is no proper one-sided identity element in R. Sinks and sources are characterized and clarified for a finite ring R. Especially, it is proved that for any ring R, if there exists a source y in Γ(R) with y²=0, then |R|=4 and R={0,x,y,z}, where x and z are left identity elements and yx=0=yz. Such a ring R is also the only ring such that Γ(R) has exactly one source. This shows that Γ(R) cannot be a network for any finite or infinite ring R.
