McCoy modules and related modules over commutative rings

Let M be a left R-module. Then M is a McCoy (resp., dual McCoy) module if for nonzero f(X)∈R[X] and m(X)∈M[X], f(X)m(X) = 0 implies there exists a nonzero r∈R (resp., m∈M) with rm(X) = 0 (resp., f(X)m = 0). We show that for R commutative every R-module is dual McCoy, but give an example of a non-McCoy module. A number of other results concerning (dual) McCoy modules as well as arithmetical, Gaussian, and Armendariz modules are given.     

Integer-valued polynomials on Krull rings

If is a subring of a Krull ring such that is a valuation ring for every finite index , in Spec, we construct polynomials that map into the maximal possible (for a monic polynomial of fixed degree) power of , for all in Spec simultaneously. This gives a direct sum decomposition of Int, the -module of polynomials with coefficients in the quotient field of that map into , and a criterion when Int has a regular basis (one consisting of 1 polynomial of each non-negative degree).

     

Distributively generated rings and distributive modules

A module is said to be distributively generated if it is generated by distributive submodules. We prove that the endomorphism ring of a finitely generated projective right module over a right distributively generated ring is a right distributively generated ring. IfM is a module over a ringA andA/J(A) is a normal exchange ring, thenM is a distributive module⇔M is a Bezout module.

Polynomial functions and permutation polynomials over some finite commutative rings

We extend some classical results on polynomial functions . We prove all results in algebraic methods avoiding any combinatorial calculation. As applications of our methods, we obtain some interesting new results on permutation polynomials in several variables over some finite commutative rings.

Another type of dimensions of modules and rings

Abstract

We say that a class Q of left R-modules is a monic class if a nonzero submodule of a module in Q is also a module in Q. For a monic class Q, we define a Q-dimension of modules that measures how far modules are from the modules in Q. For a monic class Q of indecomposable modules we characterize rings whose modules have Q-dimension. We prove that for an artinian principal ideal ring the Q-dimension coincides with the uniserial dimension. We also characterize when every module has Q-dimension.     

Weakly associated primes and primary decomposition of modules over commutative rings

Summary We characterize finitely generated Laskerian modules over a commutative ring in terms of weakly associated prime ideals.     

On dual of square free modules

A module M is said to be square free if whenever its submodule is isomorphic to N² = N⊕N for some module N, then N = 0. Dually, a module M is said to be d-square free (dual square free) if whenever its factor module is isomorphic to N² for some module N, then N = 0. In this paper, we give some fundamental properties of d-square free modules and study rings whose d-square free modules are closed under submodules or essential extensions.     

On endomorphism rings of regular modules

In this paper, we study the endomorphism rings of regular modules. We give sufficient conditions on a regular projective moduleP such that End_R (P) has stable range one. Dedicated to Professor Zhou Boxun for his 80'th Birthday The author is supported by the NNSF of China (No. 19601009)     

Envelopes of commutative rings

Given a significative class ℱ of commutative rings, we study the precise conditions under which a commutative ring R has an ℱ-envelope. A full answer is obtained when ℱ is the class of fields, semisimple commutative rings or integral domains. When ℱ is the class of Noetherian rings, we give a full answer when the Krull dimension of R is zero and when the envelope is required to be epimorphic. The general problem is reduced to identifying the class of non-Noetherian rings having a monomorphic Noetherian envelope, which we conjecture is the empty class.     

Completions of commutative rings and modules

In this work we continue studying the notion of completion ofR-modules, over a commutative ringR, relative to a torsion theoryϑ. We develop some techniques relative to localization at prime ideals and give structural results on the completion of finitely generatedR-modules, describing it as the product of classical completions on local noetherian rings.
