The prüfer rings that are endomorphism rings of artinian modules

In this paper we characterize the (commutative) Priifer rings that can be realized as endomorphism rings of artinian modules over arbitrary associative rings with identity (Theorem 4.7). This characterization is obtained by determining the structure of ∑-pure-injective modules over Prufer rings (Theorems 3.4 and 3.5)     

Invertibility of ideals in Prüfer extensions

Using the general approach to invertibility for ideals in ring extensions given by Knebush and Zhang in [9 Knebush, M., Zhang, D. (2002). Manis Valuations and Prüfer Extensions I. Lecture Notes in Mathematics, Vol. 1791. Springer.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]], we investigate about connections between faithfully flatness and invertibility for ideals in rings with zero divisors.     

On commutative rings which are strongly prüfer

Abstract

As defined by Nicholson [Nicholson, W. K. (1977). Lifting idempotents and exchange rings. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 229:269–278] an element of a ring R is clean if it is the sum of a unit and an idempotent, and a subset A of R is clean if every element of A is clean. It is shown that a semiprimitive Gelfand ring R is clean if and only if Max(R) is zero-dimensional; if and only if for each M ∈ Max(R), the intersection all prime ideals contained in M is generated by a set of idempotents. We also give several equivalent conditions for clean functional rings. In fact, a functional ring R is clean if and only if the set of clean elements is closed under sum; if and only if every zero-divisor is clean; if and only if; R has a clean prime ideal.     

Real Prüfer extensions of commutative rings

Let A⊂R be an extension of commutative rings with 1. We show that A is totally real (i.e. all maximal ideals of A are real) and A⊂R is a Prüfer extension if and only if R is totally real and the holomorphy ring H(R/A) of R over A is A. Received: 2 January 2001 / Revised version: 23 April 2001     

Posner’s second theorem for Jordan ideals in rings with involution

Posner’s second theorem states that the existence of a nonzero centralizing derivation on a prime ring forces the ring to be commutative. In this paper we extend this result to Jordan ideals of rings with involution. Moreover, some related results are also discussed.     

A Characterization of Prüfer Domains

In this article, it is proved that a domain R is a Prüfer domain if and only if it is coherent, integrally closed and FP-id _R (R) ≤ 1.     

Epimorphic extensions and Prüfer extensions¶ of partially ordered rings

The paper contributes to the investigation of epimorphisms in the category of reduced partially ordered rings (porings). Two main questions are considered: 1) Does the set of isomorphism classes of a given poring have a largest element (an epimorphic hull)? 2) Given an epimorphic extension, or even a Prüfer extension, f:A→B of porings: how closely are A and B related to each other?

Hilbert's theorem 90 in matrix rings †

The fact that every unitary matrix can be expressed in the form A^-1A^? (observed by C. R. Johnson) is interpreted as a "Hilbert Theorem 90" in rings with an involution. Several observations connected with this are included.     

Alexander polynomials and Poincaré series of sets of ideals

Earlier the authors considered and, in some cases, computed Poincaré series for two sorts of multi-index filtrations on the ring of germs of functions on a complex (normal) surface singularity (in particular, on the complex plane). A filtration of the first class was defined by a curve (with several branches) on the surface singularity. A filtration of the second class (called divisorial) was defined by a set of components of the exceptional divisor of a modification of the surface singularity. Here we define and compute in some cases the Poincaré series corresponding to a set of ideals in the ring of germs of functions on a surface singularity. For the complex plane, this notion unites the two classes of filtrations described above.     

Estimates in the corona theorem and ideals ofH ∞ : A problem of T. Wolff

The main result of the paper is that there exist functionsf ₁,f ₂,f inH ^∞ satisfying the “corona condition”

Umt-domains and domains with prüfer integral closure

An integral domain R is said to be a UMT-domain if uppers to zero in R[X) are maximal t-ideals. We show that R is a UMT-domain if and only if its localizations at maximal tdeals have Prüfer integral closure. We also prove that the UMT-property is preserved upon passage to polynomial rings. Finally, we characterize the UMT-property in certian pullback constructions; as an application, we show that a domain has Prüfer integral closure if and only if all its overrings are UMT-domains.
