There do not exist minimal algebras between C*(X) and C(X) with prescribed real maximal ideal spaces

Let C(X) be the algebra of all real-valued continuous functions on a completely regular Hausdorff space X, and C*(X) the subalgebra of bounded functions. We prove that for any intermediate algebra A between C*(X) and C(X), other than C*(X), there exists a smaller intermediate algebra with the same real maximal ideals as in A. The space X is called A-compact if any real maximal ideal in A corresponds to a point in X. It follows that, for a noncompact space X, there does not exist any minimal intermediate algebra A for which A is A-compact. This completes the answer to a question raised by Redlin and Watson in 1987.

On finitely generated module whose first nonzero fitting ideal is maximal

Let R be a Noetherian ring and M be a finitely generated R-module. Let I(M) be the first nonzero Fitting ideal of M. The main result of this paper asserts that when I(M) = Q is a regular maximal ideal of R, then M?R∕Q⊕P, for some projective R-module P of constant rank if and only if T(M)?QM. As a consequence, it is shown that if M is an Artinian R-module and I(M) = Q is a regular maximal ideal of R, then M?R∕Q.     

On a characterization of the maximal ideal spaces of commutative -algebras in which every element is the square of another

A topological condition is given for a locally connected compact Hausdorff space on which every complex-valued continuous function is the square of another. The condition need not be necessary nor sufficient unless the space is locally connected.

     

MDS codes over finite principal ideal rings

The purpose of this paper is to study codes over finite principal ideal rings. To do this, we begin with codes over finite chain rings as a natural generalization of codes over Galois rings GR(p ^e , l) (including ). We give sufficient conditions on the existence of MDS codes over finite chain rings and on the existence of self-dual codes over finite chain rings. We also construct MDS self-dual codes over Galois rings GF(2 ^e , l) of length n = 2 ^l for any a ≥ 1 and l ≥ 2. Torsion codes over residue fields of finite chain rings are introduced, and some of their properties are derived. Finally, we describe MDS codes and self-dual codes over finite principal ideal rings by examining codes over their component chain rings, via a generalized Chinese remainder theorem.

Minimal and maximal unconditional bases with respect to framings

This paper studies framings in Banach spaces, a concept raised by Casazza, Han and Larson, which is a natural generalization of traditional frames in Hilbert spaces and unconditional bases in Banach spaces. The minimal unconditional bases and the maximal unconditional bases with respect to framings are introduced. Our main result states that, if （xi, fi） is a framing of a Banach space X, and （eimin） and （eimax） are the minimal unconditional basis and the maximal unconditional basis with respect to （xi, fi）, respectively, then for any unconditional basis （ei） associated with （xi, fi）, there are A,B 〉 0 such that A｜｜i=1∑∞aieimin｜｜≤｜｜i=1∑∞aiei｜｜≤B｜｜i=1∑∞aieimax｜｜ for all （ai） ∈ c00.
It means that for any framing, the corresponding associated unconditional bases have common upper and lower bounds.     

On a characterization of the maximal ideal spaces of algebraically closed commutative -algebras

Let be the algebra of all complex-valued continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space . We say that is algebraically closed if each monic polynomial equation over has a continuous solution. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for to be algebraically closed for a locally connected compact Hausdorff space . In this case, it is proved that is algebraically closed if each element of is the square of another. We also give a characterization of a first-countable compact Hausdorff space such that is algebraically closed.

     

Commutative ideal theory without finiteness conditions: Completely irreducible ideals

An ideal of a ring is completely irreducible if it is not the intersection of any set of proper overideals. We investigate the structure of completely irrreducible ideals in a commutative ring without finiteness conditions. It is known that every ideal of a ring is an intersection of completely irreducible ideals. We characterize in several ways those ideals that admit a representation as an irredundant intersection of completely irreducible ideals, and we study the question of uniqueness of such representations. We characterize those commutative rings in which every ideal is an irredundant intersection of completely irreducible ideals.

In the first part we completely determine the number of different minimal systems of binomial generators of . In the second part we associate to a simplicial complex . We show that the vertices of correspond to the indispensable monomials of the toric ideal , while one dimensional facets of with minimal binomial -degree correspond to the indispensable binomials of .

     

Free subgroups in maximal subgroups of GLn(D)

Let D be a noncommutative finite dimensional F-central division algebra and M a noncommutative maximal subgroup of GL_n(D). It is shown that either M contains a noncyclic free subgroup or M is absolutely irreducible and there exists a unique maximal subfield K of M_n(D) such that K*M, K∕F is Galois with Gal(K∕F)?M∕K* and Gal(K∕F) is a finite simple group.     

On a class of subalgebras of and the intersection of their free maximal ideals

Let be a Tychonoff space and a subalgebra of containing . Suppose that is the set of all functions in with compact support. Kohls has shown that is precisely the intersection of all the free ideals in or in . In this paper we have proved the validity of this result for the algebra . Gillman and Jerison have proved that for a realcompact space , is the intersection of all the free maximal ideals in . In this paper we have proved that this result does not hold for the algebra , in general. However we have furnished a characterisation of the elements that belong to all the free maximal ideals in . The paper terminates by showing that for any realcompact space , there exists in some sense a minimal algebra for which becomes -compact. This answers a question raised by Redlin and Watson in 1987. But it is still unsettled whether such a minimal algebra exists with respect to set inclusion.
