Gorenstein Injective and Projective Complexes with Respect to a Semidualizing Module

Let R be a commutative (possibly non-Noetherian) ring (in order to make things less technical) and C a semidualizing R-module. In this article, we introduce and investigate the notion of G _C -injective (G _C -projective) complexes. This extends Enochs and García Rozas's notion of Gorenstein injective (Gorenstein projective) complexes. We then show that a complex X is G _C -injective (G _C -projective) if and only if X ^m is a G _C -injective (G _C -projective) module for each m ∈ ?.     

Weakly G K -Perfect and Integral Closure of Ideals

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring, K a nonzero finitely generated suitable R-module, and I an ideal of R. It is shown that if (R, ) is local, then  is G _K -perfect if and only if K is a canonical module for R. Furthermore, if I is integrally closed and G _K  ? dim _R I < ∞, then K _ is a canonical R _-module for every  ? Ass _R R/I whenever K satisfies Serre's condition (S ₁) or grade _K I > 0. Finally, it is shown that if CM ? dim _R I < ∞, then R _ is Cohen–Macaulay for every  ? Ass _R R/I.     

K 0 of Exchange Rings with All Idempotents Central

ABSTRACT

Let R be an exchange ring with all idempotents central, and let Max(R) ? Ξ(R) ? Spec(R). If ∩{P | P ∈ Ξ(R)} is nil, we prove that K ₀(R) ? {f : Ξ(R) → ?| f is continuous}.     

When Some Complement of a Submodule Is a Summand

A module M is said to satisfy the C ₁₁ condition if every submodule of M has a (i.e., at least one) complement which is a direct summand. It is known that the C ₁ condition implies the C ₁₁ condition and that the class of C ₁₁-modules is closed under direct sums but not under direct summands. We show that if M = M ₁ ⊕ M ₂, where M has C ₁₁ and M ₁ is a fully invariant submodule of M, then both M ₁ and M ₂ are C ₁₁-modules. Moreover, the C ₁₁ condition is shown to be closed under formation of the ring of column finite matrices of size Γ, the ring of m-by-m upper triangular matrices and right essential overrings. For a module M, we also show that all essential extensions of M satisfying C ₁₁ are essential extensions of C ₁₁-modules constructed from M and certain subsets of idempotent elements of the ring of endomorphisms of the injective hull of M. Finally, we prove that if M is a C ₁₁-module, then so is its rational hull. Examples are provided to illustrate and delimit the theory.     

Topological rings,homogeneous functions,and primeness

For any group G such that G is a right R-module for some ring R, the elements of R act on G as endomorphisms and we obtain the near-ring of R-homogeneous maps on G: M_R(G) = {f: G → G|f(ga) = f(g)a for all a ∈ R, g ∈ G}. In the special case that R is a topological ring and G is a topological R-module, we study N_R(G): = {f ∈ M_R(G)|f is continuous}. In particular, we investigate primeness of the near-ring N_R(G) of continuous homogeneous maps on G.     

Modules Whose t-Closed Submodules Have a Summand as a Complement

We define and investigate T ₁₁-type modules as a generalization of t-extending modules, and modules satisfying C ₁₁ condition. A module M is said to be T ₁₁-type if every t-closed submodule of M has a complement which is a direct summand. Direct sums of T ₁₁-type modules inherit the property. Some equivalent conditions for a module M to be T ₁₁-type are given. We characterize a module M for which every direct summand satisfies T ₁₁ condition. If R _R is T ₁₁-type, then R/Z ₂(R _R ) is a C ₂ ring if and only if it is a von Neumann regular ring. Applying this result, we characterize a right t-extending (resp., finitely Σ-t-extending, or Σ-t-extending) ring R for which R/Z ₂(R _R ) is von Neumann regular.     

Relative Projective and Injective Dimensions

We study the concepts of the 𝒫_C-projective and the ?_C-injective dimensions of a module in the noncommutative case, weakening the condition of C being semidualizing. We give the relations between these dimensions and the C-relative Gorenstein dimensions (G_C-projective and G_C-injective dimensions) of the module. Finally, we compare, in some circumstances, the global 𝒫_C-projective dimension of a ring and the global dimension of the endomorphisms ring of C.     

Graded Polynomial Identities for Tensor Products by the Grassmann Algebra

Abstract

Let 𝕂 be a field of characteristic zero, and R be a G-graded 𝕂-algebra. We consider the algebra R ? E, then deduce its G × ?₂-graded polynomial identities starting from the G-graded polynomial identities of R. As a consequence, we describe a basis for the ? _n  × ?₂-graded identities of the algebras M _n (E). Moreover we give the graded cocharacter sequence of M ₂(E), and show that M ₂(E) is PI-equivalent to M _1,1(E) ? E. This fact is a particular case of a more general result obtained by Kemer.     

On Relative K 2-Group of Split Radical Ideals

Let I be a split radical ideal of a ring R. In this article, the exact sequence 1 → K ₂(R, I) → U _R (I) → V(R, I) → 1 is given by using the method of extension of groups, where U _R (I) is determined by generators and relations. The results of Maazen and Stienstra on the presentation for relative K ₂ group of split radical pairs are extended and amplified.     

Fitting Height of a Finite Group with a Metabelian Group of Automorphisms

Let M = FH be a finite group that is a product of a normal abelian subgroup F and an abelian subgroup H. Assume that all elements in M?F have prime order p, and F has at most one subgroup of order p. Examples of such groups are dihedral groups for p = 2 and the semidirect product of a cyclic group F by a group H of prime order p such that C _F (H) = 1 or |C _F (H)| =p and C _{F/C F (H)}(H) = 1. Suppose that M acts on a finite group G in such a manner that C _G (F) = 1. We prove that the Fitting height h(G) of G is at most h(C _G (H))+ 1. Moreover, the Fitting series of C _G (H) coincides with the intersection of C _G (H) with the Fitting series of G.     

On Strongly Stable Rings

Abstract

A ring R is called strongly stable if whenever aR + bR = R, there exists a w ∈ Q(R) such that a + bw ∈ U(R), where Q(R) = {x ∈ R ∣ ? e ? e ² ∈ J(R), u ∈ U(R) such that x = eu}. These rings are shown to be a natural generalization of semilocal rings and unit regular rings. We investigate the extensions of strongly stable rings. K ₁-groups of such rings are also studied. In this way we recover and extend some results of Menal and Moncasi.     

T-Semisimple Modules and T-Semisimple Rings

We define and investigate t-semisimple modules as a generalization of semisimple modules. A module M is called t-semisimple if every submodule N contains a direct summand K of M such that K is t-essential in N. T-semisimple modules are Morita invariant and they form a strict subclass of t-extending modules. Many equivalent conditions for a module M to be t-semisimple are found. Accordingly, M is t-semisiple, if and only if, M = Z ₂(M) ⊕ S(M) (where Z ₂(M) is the Goldie torsion submodule and S(M) is the sum of nonsingular simple submodules). A ring R is called right t-semisimple if R _R is t-semisimple. Various characterizations of right t-semisimple rings are given. For some types of rings, conditions equivalent to being t-semisimple are found, and this property is investigated in terms of chain conditions.     

Classification of Finite Groups with a CC-Subgroup

Abstract

A proper subgroup M of a group G is called a CC-subgroup of G if the centralizer C _G (m) of every m ∈ M ^# = M ? {1} is contained in M. In this paper we classify all finite groups containing a CC-subgroup, extending work of many authors.     

Über Die Assoziierten Primideale des Bidualen

Let (R, 𝔪) be a commutative, noetherian, local ring, E the injective hull of the residue field R/𝔪, and M ^○○ = Hom _R (Hom _R (M, E), E) the bidual of an R-module M. We investigate the elements of Ass(M ^○○) as well as those of Coatt(M) = {𝔭 ∈ Spec(R)|𝔭 = Ann _R (Ann _M (𝔭))} and provide criteria for equality in one of the two inclusions Ass(M) ? Ass(M ^○○) ? Coatt(M). If R is a Nagata ring and M a minimax module, i.e., an extension of a finitely generated R-module by an artinian R-module, we show that Ass(M ^○○) = Ass(M) ∪ {𝔭 ∈ Coatt(M)| R/𝔭 is incomplete}.     

m-Power Commuting MAPS on Semiprime Rings

Let R be a semiprime ring with center Z(R), extended centroid C, U the maximal right ring of quotients of R, and m a positive integer. Let f: R → U be an additive m-power commuting map. Suppose that f is Z(R)-linear. It is proved that there exists an idempotent e ∈ C such that ef(x) = λx + μ(x) for all x ∈ R, where λ ∈C and μ: R → C. Moreover, (1 ? e)U ? M₂(E), where E is a complete Boolean ring. As consequences of the theorem, it is proved that every additive, 2-power commuting map or centralizing map from R to U is commuting.     

Rings with Zassenhaus Families of Ideals

Let R be a ring with identity. We call a family ? of left ideals of R a Zassenhaus family if the only additive endomorphisms of R that leave all members of ? invariant are the left multiplications by elements of R. Moreover, if R is torsion-free and there is some left R-module M such that R ? M ? R?_?? and End _?(M) = R we call R a “Zassenhaus ring”. It is well known that all Zassenhaus rings have Zassenhaus families. We will give examples to show that the converse does not hold even for torsion-free rings of finite rank.     

Mod-Retractable Rings

A right module M over a ring R is said to be retractable if Hom _R (M, N) ≠ 0 for each nonzero submodule N of M. We show that M ? _R RG is a retractable RG-module if and only if M _R is retractable for every finite group G. The ring R is (finitely) mod-retractable if every (finitely generated) right R-module is retractable. Some comparisons between max rings, semiartinian rings, perfect rings, noetherian rings, nonsingular rings, and mod-retractable rings are investigated. In particular, we prove ring-theoretical criteria of right mod-retractability for classes of all commutative, left perfect, and right noetherian rings.     

A result concerning nilpotent values with generalized skew derivations on Lie ideals

ABSTRACT

Let n≥1 be a fixed integer, R a prime ring with its right Martindale quotient ring Q, C the extended centroid, and L a non-central Lie ideal of R. If F is a generalized skew derivation of R such that (F(x)F(y)?yx)ⁿ = 0 for all x,y∈L, then char(R) = 2 and R?M₂(C), the ring of 2×2 matrices over C.     

Simple-Direct-Projective Modules

In this paper, we introduce and study the dual notion of simple-direct-injective modules. Namely, a right R-module M is called simple-direct-projective if, whenever A and B are submodules of M with B simple and M/A ? B ?^⊕M, then A ?^⊕M. Several characterizations of simple-direct-projective modules are provided and used to describe some well-known classes of rings. For example, it is shown that a ring R is artinian and serial with J²(R) = 0 if and only if every simple-direct-projective right R-module is quasi-projective if and only if every simple-direct-projective right R -module is a D3-module. It is also shown that a ring R is uniserial with J²(R) = 0 if and only if every simple-direct-projective right R-module is a C3-module if and only if every simple-direct-injective right R -module is a D3-module.     

A New Characterization of A 10 by its Noncommuting Graph

Let G be a nonabelian group and associate a noncommuting graph ?(G) with G as follows: The vertex set of ?(G) is G\Z(G) with two vertices x and y joined by an edge whenever the commutator of x and y is not the identity. In 1987, Professor J. G. Thompson gave the following conjecture.

Thompson's Conjecture. If G is a finite group with Z(G) = 1 and M is a nonabelian simple group satisfying N(G) = N(M), then G ? M, where N(G):={n ∈ ? | G has a conjugacy class of size n}.

In 2006, A. Abdollahi, S. Akbari, and H. R. Maimani put forward a conjecture (AAM's conjecture) in Abdollahi et al. (2006) as follows.

AAM's Conjecture. Let M be a finite nonabelian simple group and G a group such that ?(G) ? ? (M). Then G ? M.

In this short article we prove that if G is a finite group with ?(G) ? ? (A ₁₀), then G ? A ₁₀, where A ₁₀ is the alternating group of degree 10.
