Stanley conjecture in small embedding dimension

We show that Stanley's conjecture holds for a polynomial ring over a field in four variables. In the case of polynomial ring in five variables, we prove that the monomial ideals with all associated primes of height two, are Stanley ideals.     

t-Spread strongly stable monomial ideals*

We introduce the concept of t-spread monomials and t-spread strongly stable ideals. These concepts are a natural generalization of strongly stable and squarefree strongly stable ideals. For the study of this class of ideals we use the t-fold stretching operator. It is shown that t-spread strongly stable ideals are componentwise linear. Their height, their graded Betti numbers and their generic initial ideal are determined. We also consider the toric rings whose generators come from t-spread principal Borel ideals.     

On Ideals of Minors of Matrices with Indeterminate Entries

This article studies ideals of minors of matrices whose entries are among the variables of a polynomial ring. The main result is a theorem which gives sufficient conditions for these to be prime.     

Partial Skew Polynomial Rings: Prime and Maximal Ideals

In this article, we consider rings R with a partial action α of a cyclic infinite group G on R. We define partial skew polynomial rings as natural subrings of the partial skew group ring R ?_α G. We study prime and maximal ideals of a partial skew polynomial ring when the given partial action α has an enveloping action.     

Factorization of monic polynomials

We prove a uniqueness result about the factorization of a monic polynomial over a general commutative ring into comaximal factors. We apply this result to address several questions raised by Steve McAdam. These questions, inspired by Hensel's Lemma, concern properties of prime ideals and the factoring of monic polynomials modulo prime ideals.

     

Factorization of injective ideals by interpolation

We construct a factorization of certain multilinear mappings through linear operators belonging to closed, injective operator ideals using interpolation technique. An extension of the duality theorem for interpolation spaces is also obtained.     

Dixmier traces are weak dense in the set of all fully symmetric traces

We extend Dixmier's construction of singular traces (see [2]) to arbitrary fully symmetric operator ideals. In fact, we show that the set of Dixmier traces is weak^? dense in the set of all fully symmetric traces (that is, those traces which respect Hardy–Littlewood submajorization). Our results complement and extend earlier work of Wodzicki [22].     

Local properties of accessible injective operator ideals

In addition to Pisier's counterexample of a non-accessible maximal Banach ideal, we will give a large class of maximal Banach ideals which are accessible. The first step is implied by the observation that a good behaviour of trace duality, which is canon-ically induced by conjugate operator ideals can be extended to adjoint Banach ideals, if and only if these adjoint ideals satisfy an accessibility condition (theorem 3.1). This observation leads in a natural way to a characterization of accessible injective Banach ideals, where we also recognize the appearance of the ideal of absolutely summing operators (prop. 4.1). By the famous Grothendieck inequality, every operator from L ₁ to a Hilbert space is absolutely summing, and therefore our search for such ideals will be directed towards Hilbert space factorization—via an operator version of Grothendieck's inequality (lemma 4.2). As a consequence, we obtain a class of injective ideals, which are quasi-accessible, and with the help of tensor stability, we improve the corresponding norm inequalities, to get accessibility (theorem 4.1 and 4.2). In the last chapter of this paper we give applications, which are implied by a non-trivial link of the above mentioned considerations to normed products of operator ideals.     

Semiprime Ideals and Separation Theorems for Posets

The concept of a semiprime ideal in a poset is introduced. The relations between the semiprime (prime) ideals of a poset and the ideals of the set of all ideals of the poset are established. A result analogous to Separation Theorem is obtained in respect of semiprime ideals. Further, a generalization of Stone’s Separation Theorem for posets is obtained in respect of prime ideals. Some counterexamples are also given.      

Primary Ideals and Valuation Ideals in Semigroups

Let S be a cancellation torsion-free additive semigroup with identity 0 and let S {0}. We consider the relation between the valuation ideals and primary ideals of S. We give a characterization that each primary ideal is a valuation ideal in S and also give a characterization that each valuation ideal is a primary ideal in S.AMS Subject Classification (1991): 20M14     

Implicative Ideals and Fuzzy Implicative Ideals of a Distributive Implication Groupoid

We introduce the notions of implicative ideals and fuzzy implicative ideals of a distributive implication groupoid. Some properties of these ideals will be investigated. In particular, the necessary and sufficient conditions for an ideal (fuzzy ideal) to be an implicative ideal (fuzzy implicative ideal) is given. By using the concept of level sets, we will characterize the fuzzy implicative ideals of a distributive implication groupoid. Finally, an extension property for fuzzy implicative ideals is given.     

Circular operators on minimal norm ideals of ℬ(ℋ)

In this article the notion of circular operator is extended to the Banach space setting. In particular, this property is considered for elementary operators of lengths one and two acting on minimal norm ideals of ?(?). Necessary and sufficient conditions for the circularity of generalized derivations and Lüders operators are also obtained.     

Operator Ideals,Orthonormal Systems and Lacunary Sets

Given an orthonormal system B in some L²(u) we consider the operator ideals II_B and T_B of B-summing and B-type operators and some related ideals. We characterize by certain weak compactness properties when II_B is equal to the operator ideal II₂ of 2-summing operators. In lose that B consists of characters of a compact abelian group we characterize when II_B coincides with the operator ideal II_γ of Gauss-summing operators and when T_B coincides with the operator ideal II_p of type-2 operators. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for Fig to contain the operator ideal II_p of p-summing operators (2 < p < ∞) and for T_B to contain the operator ideal Γ_p of p - factorable operators.     

Freiman ideals

In this paper we study the Freiman inequality for the least number of generators of the square of an equigenerated monomial ideal. Such an ideal is called a Freiman ideal if equality holds in the Freiman inequality. We classify all Freiman ideals of maximal height, the Freiman ideals of certain classes of principal Borel ideals, the Hibi ideals which are Freiman, and classes of Veronese type ideals which are Freiman.     

A Prime Ideal Principle for Two-Sided Ideals

Many classical ring-theoretic results state that an ideal that is maximal with respect to satisfying a special property must be prime. We present a “Prime Ideal Principle” that gives a uniform method of proving such facts, generalizing the Prime Ideal Principle for commutative rings due to T. Y. Lam and the author. Old and new “maximal implies prime” results are presented, with results touching on annihilator ideals, polynomial identity rings, the Artin–Rees property, Dedekind-finite rings, principal ideals generated by normal elements, strongly noetherian algebras, and just infinite algebras.     

U-factorization of ideals

We study the factorization of ideals of a commutative ring, in the context of the U-factorization framework introduced by Fletcher. This leads to several “U-factorability” properties weaker than unique U-factorization. We characterize these notions, determine the implications between them, and give several examples to illustrate the differences. For example, we show that a ring is a general ZPI-ring if and only if its monoid of ideals has unique factorization in the sense of Fletcher. We also examine how these “U-factorability” properties behave with respect to several ring-theoretic constructions.     

Polynomials Contained in a Finite Number of Maximal Ideals

Abstract

Let R[X] be a polynomial ring in one variable over a commutative ring R. If (R,?) is a local ring then any Weierstrass polynomial in R[X] is contained only in the maximal ideal (?,X) of R[X]. We generalise this property of Weierstrass polynomials and investigate properties of polynomials contained in a finite number of maximal ideals in R[X].
