On Sums of Coefficients of Products of Polynomials

We study the nilpotency of the sums of all coefficients of some sorts of products of polynomials over reversible, IFP, and NI rings, and introduce an SCN ring as a generalization. We characterize SCN rings in relation with related ring properties, and also provide several useful properties and ring extensions of SCN rings.     

On Von Neumann Regular Rings of Skew Generalized Power Series

In this paper we introduce a construction called the skew generalized power series ring R[[S, ω]] with coefficients in a ring R and exponents in a strictly ordered monoid S which extends Ribenboim's construction of generalized power series rings. In the case when S is totally ordered or commutative aperiodic, and ω(s) is constant on idempotents for some s ∈ S?{1}, we give sufficient and necessary conditions on R and S such that the ring R[[S, ω]] is von Neumann regular, and we show that the von Neumann regularity of the ring R[[S, ω]] is equivalent to its semisimplicity. We also give a characterization of the strong regularity of the ring R[[S, ω]].     

Abelian and Tauberian theorems for the Laplace transform of functions in several variables

Using two kinds of multivariate regular variation we prove several Abel-Tauber theorems for the Laplace transform of functions in several variables. We generalize some power series results of Alpar and apply our results in multivariate renewal theory.     

Continuity of K-theory: An example in equal characteristics

If is a perfect field of characteristic , we show that the Quillen K-groups are uniquely -divisible for . In fact, the Milnor K-groups are uniquely -divisible for all . This implies that is -connected after profinite completion for a complete discrete valuation ring with perfect residue field.
