Commutative Non-Noetherian Rings with the Diamond Property

A ring R is said to have property (◇) if the injective hull of every simple R-module is locally Artinian. By landmark results of Matlis and Vamos, every commutative Noetherian ring has (◇). We give a systematic study of commutative rings with (◇), We give several general characterizations in terms of co-finite topologies on R and completions of R. We show that they have many properties of Noetherian rings, such as Krull intersection property, and recover several classical results of commutative Noetherian algebra, including some of Matlis and Vamos. Moreover, we show that a complete rings has (◇) if and only if it is Noetherian. We also give a few results relating the (◇) property of a local ring with that of its associated graded rings, and construct a series of examples.

     

Injective homogeneity and homological homogeneity of the ore extensions

In this paper we prove that under some natural conditions, the Ore extensions and skew Laurent polynomial rings are injectively homogeneous or homologically homogeneous if so are their coefficient rings. Specifically, we prove that ifR is a commutative Noetherian ring of positive characteristic, thenA _n (R), then ^th Weyl algebra overR, is injectively homogeneous (resp. homologically homogeneous) ifR has finite injective dimension (resp. global dimension).     

Uniserial Noetherian centrally essential rings

Abstract

It is proved that a ring R is a right uniserial, right Noetherian centrally essential ring if and only if R is a commutative discrete valuation domain or a left and right Artinian, left and right uniserial ring. It is also proved that there exist non-commutative uniserial Artinian centrally essential rings.     

Commutative Local Rings Whose Ideals are Direct Sums of Cyclic Modules

A well-known result of Köthe and Cohen-Kaplansky states that a commutative ring R has the property that every R-module is a direct sum of cyclic modules if and only if R is an Artinian principal ideal ring. This motivated us to study commutative rings for which every ideal is a direct sum of cyclic modules. Recently, in Behboodi et al. Commutative Noetherian local rings whose ideals are direct sums of cyclic modules (J. Algebra 345:257–265, 2011) the authors considered this question in the context of finite direct products of commutative Noetherian local rings. In this paper, we continue their study by dropping the Noetherian condition.     

On Rings Whose Reflexive Ideals are Principal

We call a prime Noetherian maximal order R a pseudo-principal ring if every reflexive ideal of R is principal. This class of rings is a broad class properly containing both prime Noetherian pri-(pli) rings and Noetherian unique factorization rings (UFRs). We show that the class of pseudo-principal rings is closed under formation of n × n full matrix rings. Moreover, we prove that if R is a pseudo-principal ring, then the polynomial ring R[x] is also a pseudo-principal ring. We provide examples to illustrate our results.     

When Cyclic Modules Have Σ-Injective Hulls

Abstract

A theorem of Cartan-Eilenberg (Cartan, H., Eilenberg, S. (1956). Homological Algebra. Princeton: Princeton University Press, pp. 390.) states that a ring Ris right Noetherian iff every injective right module is Σ-incentive. The purpose of this paper is to study rings with the property, called right CSI, that, all cyclic right R-modules have Σ-injective hulls, i.e., injective hulls of cyclic right R-modules are Σ-injective. In this case, all finitely generated right R-modules have Σ-injective hulls, and this implies that Ris right Noetherian for a lengthy list of rings, most notably, for Rcommutative, or when Rhas at most finitely many simple right R-modules, e.g., when Ris semilocal. Whether all right CSIrings are Noetherian is an open question. However, if in addition, R/rad Ris either right Kasch or von Neuman regular (=VNR), or if all countably generated (sermisimple) right R-modules have Σ-injective hulls then the answer is affirmative. (See Theorem A.) We also prove the dual theorems for Δ-injective modules.     

Gorenstein Injective and Gorenstein Flat Resolution of Modules Over Gorenstein Rings

Abstract

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring. There are several characterizations of Gorenstein rings in terms of classical homological dimensions of their modules. In this paper, we use Gorenstein dimensions (Gorenstein injective and Gorenstein flat dimension) to describe Gorenstein rings. Moreover a characterization of Gorenstein injective (resp. Gorenstein flat) modules over Gorenstein rings is given in terms of their Gorenstein flat (resp. Gorenstein injective) resolutions.     

Modules Whose Endomorphism Rings are Division Rings

The well-known Schur's Lemma states that the endomorphism ring of a simple module is a division ring. But the converse is not true in general. In this paper we study modules whose endomorphism rings are division rings. We first reduce our consideration to the case of faithful modules with this property. Using the existence of such modules, we obtain results on a new notion which generalizes that of primitive rings. When R is a full or triangular matrix ring over a commutative ring, a structure theorem is proved for an R-module M such that End _R (M) is a division ring. A number of examples are given to illustrate our results and to motivate further study on this topic.     

The Noetherian property in some quadratic algebras

We introduce a new class of noncommutative rings called pseudopolynomial rings and give sufficient conditions for such a ring to be Noetherian. Pseudopolynomial rings are standard finitely presented algebras over a field with some additional restrictions on their defining relations--namely that the polynomials in a Gröbner basis for the ideal of relations must be homogeneous of degree 2--and on the Ufnarovskii graph . The class of pseudopolynomial rings properly includes the generalized skew polynomial rings introduced by M. Artin and W. Schelter. We use the graph to define a weaker notion of almost commutative, which we call almost commutative on cycles. We show as our main result that a pseudopolynomial ring which is almost commutative on cycles is Noetherian. A counterexample shows that a Noetherian pseudopolynomial ring need not be almost commutative on cycles.

     

Group rings which are G-Dedekind prime rings

Let R be a commutative Noetherian domain and A be a polycyclic-by-finite group. In this paper, it is determined, in terms of properties of R and A when the group ring R[A] is a G-Dedekind prime ring.     

On weakly prime radical of modules and semi-compatible modules

Summary Let M be a left R-module. Then a proper submodule P of M is called weakly prime submodule if for any ideals A and B of R and any submodule N of M such that ABN ⊆ P, we have AN ⊆ P or BN ⊆ P. We define weakly prime radicals of modules and show that for Ore domains, the study of weakly prime radicals of general modules reduces to that of torsion modules. We determine the weakly prime radical of any module over a commutative domain R with dim (R) ≦ 1. Also, we show that over a commutative domain R with dim (R) ≦ 1, every semiprime submodule of any module is an intersection of weakly prime submodules. Localization of a module over a commutative ring preserves the weakly prime property. An R-module M is called semi-compatible if every weakly prime submodule of M is an intersection of prime submodules. Also, a ring R is called semi-compatible if every R-module is semi-compatible. It is shown that any projective module over a commutative ring is semi-compatible and that a commutative Noetherian ring R is semi-compatible if and only if for every prime ideal B of R, the ring R/\B is a Dedekind domain. Finally, we show that if R is a UFD such that the free R-module R⊕ R is a semi-compatible module, then R is a Bezout domain.     

Noetherian rings with almost injective simple modules

We characterize right Noetherian rings over which all simple modules are almost injective. It is proved that R is such a ring, if and only if, the complements of semisimple submodules of every R-module M are direct summands of M, if and only if, R is a finite direct sum of right ideals I_r, where I_r is either a Noetherian V-module with zero socle, or a simple module, or an injective module of length 2. A commutative Noetherian ring for which all simple modules are almost injective is precisely a finite direct product of rings R_i, where R_i is either a field or a quasi-Frobenius ring of length 2. We show that for commutative rings whose all simple modules are almost injective, the properties of Kasch, (semi)perfect, semilocal, quasi-Frobenius, Artinian, and Noetherian coincide.     

Jacobson rings and rings strongly graded by an abelian group

LetR be ring strongly graded by an abelian groupG of finite torsion-free rank. Lete be the identity ofG, andR _e the component of degreee ofR. AssumeR _e is a Jacobson ring. We prove that graded subrings ofR are again Jacobson rings if eitherR _e is a left Noetherian ring orR is a group ring. In particular we generalise Goldie and Michlers’s result on Jacobson polycyclic group rings, and Gilmer’s result on Jacobson commutative semigroup rings of finite torsion-free rank.     

S-TORSION FREE COVERS OF MODULES

Over Pruüfer domains every module has a torsion free cover with a flat kernel. In this paper we show that the commutative Noetherian rings that have this property are the Gorenstein rings with Krull dimension at most one. Here we use the torsion theory defined by the nonzero-divisors of the commutative ring R.     

Two criteria to check whether ideals are direct sums of cyclically presented modules

A famous theorem of commutative algebra due to I. M. Isaacs states that “if every prime ideal of R is principal, then every ideal of R is principal”. Therefore, a natural question of this sort is “whether the same is true if one weakens this condition and studies rings in which ideals are direct sums of cyclically presented modules?” The goal of this paper is to answer this question in the case R is a commutative local ring. We obtain an analogue of Isaacs's theorem. In fact, we give two criteria to check whether every ideal of a commutative local ring R is a direct sum of cyclically presented modules, it suffices to test only the prime ideals or structure of the maximal ideal of R. As a consequence, we obtain: if R is a commutative local ring such that every prime ideal of R is a direct sum of cyclically presented R-modules, then R is a Noetherian ring. Finally, we describe the ideal structure of commutative local rings in which every ideal of R is a direct sum of cyclically presented R-modules.     

Indecomposable Modules and Gelfand Rings

It is proved that a commutative ring is clean if and only if it is Gelfand with a totally disconnected maximal spectrum. It is shown that each indecomposable module over a commutative ring R satisfies a finite condition if and only if R _P is an Artinian valuation ring for each maximal prime ideal P. Commutative rings for which each indecomposable module has a local endomorphism ring are studied. These rings are clean and elementary divisor rings. It is shown that each commutative ring R with a Hausdorff and totally disconnected maximal spectrum is local-global. Moreover, if R is arithmetic, then R is an elementary divisor ring.     

Some new dimensions of modules and rings

We say that a class 𝒫 of right modules over a fixed ring R is an epic class if it is closed under homomorphic images. For an arbitrary epic class 𝒫, we define a 𝒫-dimension of modules that measures how far modules are from the modules in the class 𝒫. For an epic class 𝒫 consisting of indecomposable modules, first we characterize rings whose modules have 𝒫-dimension. In fact, we show that every right R-module has 𝒫-dimension if and only if R is a semisimple Artinan ring. Then we study fully Hopfian modules with 𝒫-dimension. In particular, we show that a commutative ring R with 𝒫-dimension (resp. finite 𝒫-dimension) is either local or Noetherian (resp. Artinian). Finally, we show that Mat_m(R) is a right Köthe ring for some m if and only if every (left) right module is a direct sum of modules of 𝒫-dimension at most n for some n, if and only if R is a pure semisimple ring.

Generalized APP-Rings

We say a ring R is (centrally) generalized left annihilator of principal ideal is pure (APP) if the left annihilator ? _R (Ra) ⁿ is (centrally) right s-unital for every element a ∈ R and some positive integer n. The class of generalized left APP-rings includes generalized left (principally) quasi-Baer rings and left APP-rings (and hence left p.q.-Baer rings, right p.q.-Baer rings, and right PP-rings). The class of centrally generalized left APP-rings is closed under finite direct products, full matrix rings, and Morita invariance. The behavior of the (centrally) generalized left APP condition is investigated with respect to various constructions and extensions, and it is used to generalize many results on generalized PP-rings with IFP and semiprime left APP-rings. Moreover, we extend a theorem of Kist for commutative PP rings to centrally generalized left APP rings for which every prime ideal contains a unique minimal prime ideal without using topological arguments. Furthermore, we give a complete characterization of a considerably large family of centrally generalized left APP rings which have a sheaf representation.     

The permutation projective dimension of the quaternionic group

Abstract

Let R be a commutative Noetherian local Gorenstein ring with residue field k. We show that G(k), the Gorenstein injective envelope of k, is an artinian R-module, and we compute G(k) in the case where R = k[[S]] is a semigroup ring and S is symmetric. We also show that a certain subring of the endomorphism ring of G(k) is a complete local (but possibly non-commutative) ring.
