Regular centralizers of idempotent transformations

Denote by T(X) the semigroup of full transformations on a set X. For ε∈T(X), the centralizer of ε is a subsemigroup of T(X) defined by C(ε)={α∈T(X):αε=εα}. It is well known that C(id _X )=T(X) is a regular semigroup. By a theorem proved by J.M. Howie in 1966, we know that if X is finite, then the subsemigroup generated by the idempotents of C(id _X ) contains all non-invertible transformations in C(id _X ).     

Infinite groups with Abelian centralizers of involutions

The article contains two characterizations of projective linear groups PGL₂(P) over a locally finite field P of characteristic 2: the first is defined in terms of permutation groups, and the second, in terms of a structure of involution centralizers. One of the two is used to prove the existence of infinite groups which are recognizable by the set of their element orders. In memory of Viktor A. Gorbunov Supported by RFFR grant No. 99-01-00550.

Periodic groups whose simple modules have finite central endomorphism dimension

Theorem. If is an uncountable field and is a periodic group with no elements of order the characteristic of and if all simple modules have finite central endomorphism dimension, then has an abelian subgroup of finite index.

     

On the rings whose injective hulls are flat

Let be a commutative Noetherian ring with nonzero identity and let the injective envelope of be flat. We characterize these kinds of rings and obtain some results about modules with nonzero injective cover over these rings.

     

On rings whose number of centralizers of ideals is finite

LetR be a ring. For the setF of all nonzero ideals ofR, we introduce an equivalence relation inF as follows: For idealsI andJ, I～J if and only ifV _R (I)=V _R(J), whereV _R() is the centralizer inR. LetI _R=F/～. Then we can see thatn(I _R), the cardinality ofI _R, is 1 if and only ifR is either a prime ring or a commutative ring (Theorem 1.1). An idealI ofR is said to be a commutator ideal ifI is generated by{st?ts; s∈S, t∈T} for subsetS andT ofR, andR is said to be a ring with (N) if any commutator ideal contains no nonzero nilpotent ideals. Then we have the following main theorem: LetR be a ring with (N). Thenn(I _R) is finite if and only ifR is isomorphic to an irredundant subdirect sum ofS⊕Z whereS is a finite direct sum of non commutative prime rings andZ is a commutative ring (Theorem 2.1). Finally, we show that the existence of a ringR such thatn(I _R)=m for any given natural numberm.     

Enumeration of symplectic and orthogonal injective partial transformations

In this paper, we compute the generating function of , where a is a real number with a≥1. We then use this function to determine the generating functions of the symplectic and orthogonal Renner monoids. Furthermore, we show that these functions are closely related to Laguerre polynomials.     

Algebras in which non-scalar elements have small centralizers

We describe algebras in which the centralizer of every non-scalar element is equal to the subalgebra generated by this element, and finite-dimensional algebras (over perfect fields) in which the centralizer of every non-scalar element is commutative.     

On simple singular gp - injective modules

We investigate von Neumann regularity of rings whose simple singular right R-modules are GP-injective. It is proved that a ring; R is strongly regular iff R is a weakly right duo ring whose simple singular right R-modules are GP-injective. And it is also shown that R is either a strongly right bounded ring or a zero insertive ring in which every simple singular right R-module is GP-injective are reduced weakly regular rings. Several known results are unified and extended.     

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.     

Groups whose lattice of centralizers is a sublattice of the subgroup lattice

An earlier conjecture suggests that the lattice of centralizers is modular in the title groups. We prove it to hold for two classes of groups whose lattice of centralizers has finite length — groups with the normalizer condition and locally finite groups.Translated fromAlgebra i Logika, Vol. 33, No. 5, pp. 475–513, September–October, 1994.
