Unit-Regularity of Regular Nilpotent Elements

Let a be a regular element of a ring R. If either K:=r _R (a) has the exchange property or every power of a is regular, then we prove that for every positive integer n there exist decompositions

$$R_{R} = K \oplus X_{n} \oplus Y_{n} = E_{n} \oplus X_{n} \oplus aY_{n}, $$

where \(Y_{n} \subseteq a^{n}R\) and E _n ?R/a R. As applications we get easier proofs of the results that a strongly π-regular ring has stable range one and also that a strongly π-regular element whose every power is regular is unit-regular.

     

The cancellable range of rings

We unify the cancellation property of rings with stable range one and the principal ideal domain by introducing a new notion which is called “cancellable range”. It is proved that if a ring R has cancellable range n for some positive integer n, then for any n-generated module B and any module implies B ≅ C; if R is a Noetherian ring and R has cancellable range n for any n ≧ 1, then R has the cancellation property.

⊕-Cofinitely Supplemented Modules

Let R be a ring and M a right R-module. M is called -cofinitely supplemented if every submodule N of M with M/N finitely generated has a supplement that is a direct summand of M. In this paper various properties of the -cofinitely supplemented modules are given. It is shown that (1) Arbitrary direct sum of -cofinitely supplemented modules is -cofinitely supplemented. (2) A ring R is semiperfect if and only if every free R-module is -cofinitely supplemented. In addition, if M has the summand sum property, then M is -cofinitely supplemented iff every maximal submodule has a supplement that is a direct summand of M.

Some results on Artinian cofinite top local cohomology modules

Let \((R,\mathfrak {m})\) be a Noetherian local ring, I be an ideal of R, and M be a finitely generated R-module such that \({\text {H}}_I^t(M)\) is Artinian and I-cofinite, where \(t={\text {cd}}\,(I,M)\). In this paper, we give some equivalent conditions for the property

$$\begin{aligned} {\text {Ann}}\,_R\left( 0:_{{\text {H}}_I^t (M)} \mathfrak {p}\right) =\mathfrak {p}~\text {for all prime ideals }~ \mathfrak {p}\supseteq {\text {Ann}}\,_R{\text {H}}_I^t(M).(*) \end{aligned}$$

Also, we show that if \({\text {H}}_I^t(M)\) satisfies the property \((*)\), then \({\text {H}}_I^t(M)\cong {\text {H}}_{\mathfrak {m}}^t(M/N)\) for some submodule N of M with \({\text {dim}}\,(M/N)=t\).

     

Schmidt's game, badly approximable matrices and fractals

We prove that for every M,N∈N, if τ is a Borel, finite, absolutely friendly measure supported on a compact subset K of RMN, then K∩BA(M,N) is a winning set in Schmidt's game sense played on K, where BA(M,N) is the set of badly approximable M×N matrices. As an immediate consequence we have the following application. If K is the attractor of an irreducible finite family of contracting similarity maps of RMN satisfying the open set condition (the Cantor's ternary set, Koch's curve and Sierpinski's gasket to name a few known examples), then

dimK=dimK∩BA(M,N).

Coherence relative to a weak torsion class

Let R be a ring. A subclass T of left R-modules is called a weak torsion class if it is closed under homomorphic images and extensions. Let T be a weak torsion class of left R-modules and n a positive integer. Then a left R-module M is called T-finitely generated if there exists a finitely generated submodule N such that M/N ∈ T; a left R-module A is called (T,n)-presented if there exists an exact sequence of left R-modules

$$0 \to {K_{n - 1}} \to {F_{n - 1}} \to \cdots \to {F_1} \to {F_0} \to M \to 0$$

such that F₀,..., F_n?1 are finitely generated free and K_n?1 is T-finitely generated; a left R-module M is called (T,n)-injective, if Ext ⁿ _R (A,M) = 0 for each (T, n+1)-presented left R-module A; a right R-module M is called (T,n)-flat, if Tor ^R _n (M,A) = 0 for each (T, n+1)-presented left R-module A. A ring R is called (T,n)-coherent, if every (T, n+1)-presented module is (n + 1)-presented. Some characterizations and properties of these modules and rings are given.

     

Singular value estimates of oblique projections

Let W and M be two finite dimensional subspaces of a Hilbert space H such that H=W⊕M^⊥, and let P_W‖M^⊥ denote the oblique projection with range W and nullspace M^⊥. In this article we get the following formula for the singular values of P_W‖M^⊥

     

On generalized CS-modules

An S-closed submodule of a module M is a submodule N for which M/N is nonsingular. A module M is called a generalized CS-module (or briefly, GCS-module) if any S-closed submodule N of M is a direct summand of M. Any homomorphic image of a GCS-module is also a GCS-module. Any direct sum of a singular (uniform) module and a semi-simple module is a GCS-module. All nonsingular right R-modules are projective if and only if all right R-modules are GCS-modules.

Tate Homology of Modules of Finite Gorenstein Flat Dimension

We introduce and investigate Tate homology $\widehat{{\mbox{\rm tor}}}$ of modules of finite Gorenstein flat dimension. In particular, we show that over a right coherent ring R, $\widehat{{\mbox{\rm tor}}}_{i}^{R}(M,N)\cong\widehat{{\mbox{\rm Tor}}}_{i}^{R}(M,N)$ for any right R-module M of finite Gorenstein projective dimension, any R-module N of finite Gorenstein flat dimension and any i?∈??. We also study the Tate homology $\widehat{{\mbox{\rm tor}}}$ of a cotorsion module of finite Gorenstein flat dimension in the paper.

Carleson measures,BMO spaces and balayages associated to Schrdinger operators

Let L be a Schrdinger operator of the form L =-? + V acting on L~2(R~n), n≥3, where the nonnegative potential V belongs to the reverse Hlder class B_q for some q≥n. Let BMO_L(R~n) denote the BMO space associated to the Schrdinger operator L on R~n. In this article, we show that for every f ∈ BMO_L(R~n) with compact support, then there exist g ∈ L~∞(R~n) and a finite Carleson measure μ such that f(x) = g(x) + S_(μ,P)(x) with ∥g∥∞ + |||μ|||c≤ C∥f∥BMO_L(R~n), where S_(μ,P)=∫(R_+~(n+1))Pt(x,y)dμ(y, t),and Pt(x, y) is the kernel of the Poisson semigroup {e-~(t(L)~(1/2))}t0 on L~2(R~n). Conversely, if μ is a Carleson measure, then S_(μ,P) belongs to the space BMO_L(R~n). This extends the result for the classical John-Nirenberg BMO space by Carleson(1976)(see also Garnett and Jones(1982), Uchiyama(1980) and Wilson(1988)) to the BMO setting associated to Schrdinger operators.
