A NOTE ON POLYNOMIAL RINGS OVER VON NEUMANN REGULAR RINGS

Abstract

Let R be an associative ring with 1. It is well known (see [1], [2]) that if R is commutative, then R is Yon Neumann regular (VNR) <=> the polynomial ring S = R[x] is semihereditary. While one of these implications is true in the general case, it is known that a polynomial ring over a regular ring need not be semihereditary (see [3]). In [4] we showed that a ring R is VNR <=> aS + xS is projective for each a ε R. In this note we sharpen this result and use it to show that if c is the ring epimorphism from R[x] to R that maps each polynomial onto its constant term, then R is Yon Neumann regular <=> the inverse image (under c) of each principal (right, left) ideal of R. is a principal (right. left) ideal of R[x] generated by a regular element. (Here an element is regular if and only if it is a non zero-divisor).     

On divided commutative rings

Let R be a commutative ring with identity having total quotient ring T. A prime ideal P of R is called divided if P is comparable to every principal ideal of R. If every prime ideal of R is divided, then R is called a divided ring. If P is a nonprincipal divided prime, then P^-1 = { x ? T : xP ? P} is a ring. We show that if R is an atomic domain and divided, then the Krull dimension of R ≤ 1. Also, we show that if a finitely generated prime ideal containing a nonzerodivisor of a ring R is divided, then it is maximal and R is quasilocal.     

Ideal-Symmetric and Semiprime Rings

Lambek extended the usual commutative ideal theory to ideals in noncommutative rings, calling an ideal A of a ring R symmetric if rst ∈ A implies rts ∈ A for r, s, t ∈ R. R is usually called symmetric if 0 is a symmetric ideal. This naturally gives rise to extending the study of symmetric ring property to the lattice of ideals. In the process, we introduce the concept of an ideal-symmetric ring. We first characterize the class of ideal-symmetric rings and show that this ideal-symmetric property is Morita invariant. We provide a method of constructing an ideal-symmetric ring (but not semiprime) from any given semiprime ring, noting that semiprime rings are ideal-symmetric. We investigate the structure of minimal ideal-symmetric rings completely, finding two kinds of basic forms of finite ideal-symmetric rings. It is also shown that the ideal-symmetric property can go up to right quotient rings in relation with regular elements. The polynomial ring R[x] over an ideal-symmetric ring R need not be ideal-symmetric, but it is shown that the factor ring R[x]/xⁿR[x] is ideal-symmetric over a semiprime ring R.     

强symmetric环

A generalization of right pci rings

By a well-known result of Osofsky [6, Theorem] a ring R is semisimple (i.e. R is right artinian and the Jacobson radical of R is zero) if and only if every cyclic right R-module is injective. Starting from this, a larger class of rings has been introduced and investigated, namely the class of right PCI rings. A ring R is called right PCI if every proper cyclic right R- module is injective (proper here means not being isomorphic to RR). By [l] and [Z], a right PCI ring is either semisimple or it is a right noetherian, right hereditary simple ring. The latter ring is usually called a right PCI domain. In this paper we consider the similar question in studying rings whose cyclic right modules satisfy some decomposition property. The starting point is a theorem recently proved in 13, Theorem 1.1): A ring R is right artinian if and only if every cyclic right R- module is a direct sum of an injective module and a finitely cogenerated module.     

交换L*-环

我们证明一个交换整环或交换局部环是一个L*-环当且仅当它是一个O*-环.文中还证明了一些一般性的条件使之一个交换环不是L*.     

S-内射模及S-内射包络

设R是环.设S是一个左R-模簇,E是左R-模.若对任何N∈S,有Ext_R~1(N,E)=0,则E称为S-内射模.本文证明了若S是Baer模簇,则关于S-内射模的Baer准则成立;若S是完备模簇,则每个模有S-内射包络;若对任何单模N,Ext_R~1(N,E)=0,则E称为极大性内射模;若R是交换环,且对任何挠模N,Ext_R~1(N,E)=0,则E称为正则性内射模.作为应用,证明了每个模有极大性内射包络.也证明了交换环R是SM环当且仅当T/R的正则性内射包e(T/R)是∑-正则性内射模,其中T=T(R)表示R的完全分式环,当且仅当每一GV-无挠的正则性内射模是∑-正则性内射模.

Polynomials determining hereditary prime PI-rings

A ring is called left (resp. right) hereditary if every left (resp. right) ideal is projective. A Dedekind domain is a commutative domain which is hereditary.     

Generalized epimorphism theorem

LetR[X, Y] be a polynomial ring in two variables over a commutative ringR and letF∈R[X, Y] such thatR[X, Y]/(F)=R[Z] (a polynomial ring in one variable). In this set-up we prove thatR[X, Y]=R[F, G] for someG∈R[X, Y] if eitherR contains a field of characteristic zero orR is a seminormal domain of characteristic zero.     

Lower-Modular Elements of the Lattice of Semigroup Varieties

We call a semigroup variety modular [upper-modular, lower-modular, neutral] if it is a modular [respectively upper-modular, lower-modular, neutral] element of the lattice of all semigroup varieties. It is proved that if V is a lower-modular variety then either V coincides with the variety of all semigroups or V is periodic and the greatest nil-subvariety of V may be given by 0-reduced identities only. We completely determine all commutative lower-modular varieties. In particular, it turns out that a commutative variety is lower-modular if and only if it is neutral. A number of corollaries of these results are obtained.     

Remarks on pseudo-valuation rings

A prime ideal P of a ring A is said to be a strongly prime ideal if aP and bA are comparable for all a,b ε A. We shall say that a ring A is a pseudo-valuation ring (PVR) if each prime ideal of A is a strongly prime ideal. We show that if A is a PVR with maximal ideal M, then every overring of A is a PVR if and only if M is a maximal ideal of every overring of M that does not contain the reciprocal’of any element of M.We show that if R is an atomic domain and a PVD, then dim(R) ≤ 1. We show that if R is a PVD and a prime ideal of R is finitely generated, then every overring of R is a PVD. We give a characterization of an atomic PVD in terms of the concept of half-factorial domain.

On weakly prime radical of modules and semi-compatible modules

Summary Let M be a left R-module. Then a proper submodule P of M is called weakly prime submodule if for any ideals A and B of R and any submodule N of M such that ABN ⊆ P, we have AN ⊆ P or BN ⊆ P. We define weakly prime radicals of modules and show that for Ore domains, the study of weakly prime radicals of general modules reduces to that of torsion modules. We determine the weakly prime radical of any module over a commutative domain R with dim (R) ≦ 1. Also, we show that over a commutative domain R with dim (R) ≦ 1, every semiprime submodule of any module is an intersection of weakly prime submodules. Localization of a module over a commutative ring preserves the weakly prime property. An R-module M is called semi-compatible if every weakly prime submodule of M is an intersection of prime submodules. Also, a ring R is called semi-compatible if every R-module is semi-compatible. It is shown that any projective module over a commutative ring is semi-compatible and that a commutative Noetherian ring R is semi-compatible if and only if for every prime ideal B of R, the ring R/\B is a Dedekind domain. Finally, we show that if R is a UFD such that the free R-module R⊕ R is a semi-compatible module, then R is a Bezout domain.     

Trivial Ring Extensions Defined by Arithmetical-Like Properties

In this article we investigate the transfer of the notions of elementary divisor ring, Hermite ring, Bezout ring, and arithmetical ring to trivial ring extensions of commutative rings by modules. Namely, we prove that the trivial ring extension R: = A ? B defined by extension of integral domains is an elementary divisor ring if and only if A is an elementary divisor ring and B = qf(A); and R is an Hermite ring if and only if R is a Bezout ring if and only if A is a Bezout domain and qf(A) = B. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for R = A ? E to be an arithmetical ring when E is a nontorsion or a finitely generated A ? module. As an immediate consequences, we show that A ? A is an arithmetical ring if and only if A is a von Neumann regular ring, and A ? Q(A) is an arithmetical ring if and only if A is a semihereditary ring.

關於素性環

<正> §1.本文的目的是在對於所謂素性環(Primal Ring)作一些探討.這裹的環都是指着有么元無零因子的可換環.我們以R表這樣一個環,1就是R的么元,大寫字母A,B,C,P,……表R的真理想子環,小寫字母a,b,c,x,y等表R的元.符號Ax~(-1)表示R中一切能使xy∈A的y所組成的集.容易證明Ax~(-1)是一個理想子環,並且Ax~(-1)A.如果Ax~(-1)A,則說x不素於A,否則說x素於A.這樣一來,A是素理想子環的充要條件就是R中凡不屬A的元都素於A.
