On (<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>)-absorbing ideals of commutative rings

Let R be a commutative ring with 1 ≠ 0 and U(R) be the set of all unit elements of R. Let m, n be positive integers such that m > n. In this article, we study a generalization of n-absorbing ideals. A proper ideal I of R is called an (m, n)-absorbing ideal if whenever a ₁?a _m ∈I for a ₁,…, a _m ∈R?U(R), then there are n of the a _i ’s whose product is in I. We investigate the stability of (m, n)-absorbing ideals with respect to various ring theoretic constructions and study (m, n)-absorbing ideals in several commutative rings. For example, in a Bézout ring or a Boolean ring, an ideal is an (m, n)-absorbing ideal if and only if it is an n-absorbing ideal, and in an almost Dedekind domain every (m, n)-absorbing ideal is a product of at most m ? 1 maximal ideals.     

Higher Algebraic <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-theory of Ring Epimorphisms

Given a homological ring epimorphism from a ring R to another ring S, we show that if the left R-module S has a finite-type resolution, then the algebraic K-group K _n (R) of R splits as the direct sum of the algebraic K-group K _n (S) of S and the algebraic K-group K _n (R) of a Waldhausen category R determined by the ring epimorphism. This result is then applied to endomorphism rings, matrix subrings, rings with idempotent ideals, and universal localizations which appear often in representation theory and algebraic topology.     

On a generalization of semisimple modules

Let R be a ring with identity. A module \(M_R\) is called an r-semisimple module if for any right ideal I of R, MI is a direct summand of \(M_R\) which is a generalization of semisimple and second modules. We investigate when an r-semisimple ring is semisimple and prove that a ring R with the number of nonzero proper ideals \(\le \)4 and \(J(R)=0\) is r-semisimple. Moreover, we prove that R is an r-semisimple ring if and only if it is a direct sum of simple rings and we investigate the structure of module whenever R is an r-semisimple ring.     

Whe are $${\varvec{}}$$-syzygy modules $${\varvec{}}$$-torsiofree?

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring. We consider the question of when n-syzygy modules over R are n-torsionfree in the sense of Auslander and Bridger. Our tools include Serre’s condition and certain conditions on the local Gorenstein property of R. Our main result implies the converse of a celebrated theorem of Evans and Griffith.     

The regular digraph of ideals of a commutative ring

Let R be a commutative ring and Max?(R) be the set of maximal ideals of R. The regular digraph of ideals of R, denoted by \(\overrightarrow{\Gamma_{\mathrm{reg}}}(R)\), is a digraph whose vertex set is the set of all non-trivial ideals of R and for every two distinct vertices I and J, there is an arc from I to J whenever I contains a J-regular element. The undirected regular (simple) graph of ideals of R, denoted by Γ_reg(R), has an edge joining I and J whenever either I contains a J-regular element or J contains an I-regular element. Here, for every Artinian ring R, we prove that |Max?(R)|?1≦ω(Γ_reg(R))≦|Max?(R)| and \(\chi(\Gamma_{\mathrm{ reg}}(R)) = 2|\mathrm{Max}\, (R)| -k-1\), where k is the number of fields, appeared in the decomposition of R to local rings. Among other results, we prove that \(\overrightarrow{\Gamma_{\mathrm{ reg}}}(R)\) is strongly connected if and only if R is an integral domain. Finally, the diameter and the girth of the regular graph of ideals of Artinian rings are determined.     

Another characterization of the upper nil radical

In 2015 Halina France-Jackson introduced the notion of a \({\sigma}\)-ring i.e. a ring R with the property that if I and J are ideals of R and for all \({i\in I}\), \({{j\in J}}\), there exist natural numbers m, n such that \({i^{m}j^{n} =0}\), then I = 0 or J = 0. It is shown that \({\sigma}\) is a special class which coincides with the class \({\rho}\) of all prime nil-semisimple rings. This implies that the upper nil radical of any ring R is the intersection of all ideals I of the ring such that R/I is a \({\sigma}\)-ring. In this paper we introduce classes of rings equivalent to the \({\sigma}\)-rings and then give characterizations of the upper nil radical in terms of these rings.     

Generalization of CS condition

Let R be an associative ring with identity. An R-module M is called an NCS module if C (M)∩S(M) = {0}, where C (M) and S(M) denote the set of all closed submodules and the set of all small submodules of M, respectively. It is clear that the NCS condition is a generalization of the well-known CS condition. Properties of the NCS conditions of modules and rings are explored in this article. In the end, it is proved that a ring R is right Σ-CS if and only if R is right perfect and right countably Σ-NCS. Recall that a ring R is called right Σ-CS if every direct sum of copies of R_R is a CS module. And a ring R is called right countably Σ-NCS if every direct sum of countable copies of R_R is an NCS module.     

Skew inverse power series rings over a ring with projective socle

A ring R is called a right PS-ring if its socle, Soc(R _R ), is projective. Nicholson and Watters have shown that if R is a right PS-ring, then so are the polynomial ring R[x] and power series ring R[[x]]. In this paper, it is proved that, under suitable conditions, if R has a (flat) projective socle, then so does the skew inverse power series ring R[[x ^?1; α, δ]] and the skew polynomial ring R[x; α, δ], where R is an associative ring equipped with an automorphism α and an α-derivation δ. Our results extend and unify many existing results. Examples to illustrate and delimit the theory are provided.     

Unit-Regularity of Regular Nilpotent Elements

Let a be a regular element of a ring R. If either K:=r _R (a) has the exchange property or every power of a is regular, then we prove that for every positive integer n there exist decompositions

$$R_{R} = K \oplus X_{n} \oplus Y_{n} = E_{n} \oplus X_{n} \oplus aY_{n}, $$

where \(Y_{n} \subseteq a^{n}R\) and E _n ?R/a R. As applications we get easier proofs of the results that a strongly π-regular ring has stable range one and also that a strongly π-regular element whose every power is regular is unit-regular.

     

Structure of Abelian rings

Let R be a ring with identity. We use J(R); G(R); and X(R) to denote the Jacobson radical, the group of all units, and the set of all nonzero nonunits in R; respectively. A ring is said to be Abelian if every idempotent is central. It is shown, for an Abelian ring R and an idempotent-lifting ideal N ? J(R) of R; that R has a complete set of primitive idempotents if and only if R/N has a complete set of primitive idempotents. The structure of an Abelian ring R is completely determined in relation with the local property when X(R) is a union of 2; 3; 4; and 5 orbits under the left regular action on X(R) by G(R): For a semiperfect ring R which is not local, it is shown that if G(R) is a cyclic group with 2 ∈ G(R); then R is finite. We lastly consider two sorts of conditions for G(R) to be an Abelian group.     

Subseries of $$ \mathrm{\mathcal{I}}$$-convergent series

We say that an ideal \( \mathrm{\mathcal{I}}\) has property (T) if for every \( \mathrm{\mathcal{I}}\)-convergent series \( {\sum}_{n=1}^{\infty }{x}_n \), there exists a set A ∈ \( \mathrm{\mathcal{I}}\) such that ∑_n?∈??\Ax _n converges in the usual sense. The main aim of this paper is to focus on several different classes of ideals, such as summable ideals, F _σ ideals, and matrix summability ideals, and to show that they do not have the mentioned property.     

Coherence relative to a weak torsion class

Let R be a ring. A subclass T of left R-modules is called a weak torsion class if it is closed under homomorphic images and extensions. Let T be a weak torsion class of left R-modules and n a positive integer. Then a left R-module M is called T-finitely generated if there exists a finitely generated submodule N such that M/N ∈ T; a left R-module A is called (T,n)-presented if there exists an exact sequence of left R-modules

$$0 \to {K_{n - 1}} \to {F_{n - 1}} \to \cdots \to {F_1} \to {F_0} \to M \to 0$$

such that F₀,..., F_n?1 are finitely generated free and K_n?1 is T-finitely generated; a left R-module M is called (T,n)-injective, if Ext ⁿ _R (A,M) = 0 for each (T, n+1)-presented left R-module A; a right R-module M is called (T,n)-flat, if Tor ^R _n (M,A) = 0 for each (T, n+1)-presented left R-module A. A ring R is called (T,n)-coherent, if every (T, n+1)-presented module is (n + 1)-presented. Some characterizations and properties of these modules and rings are given.

     

Irregular Wavelet Frames and Gabor Frames

Given g∈L²(R ⁿ ), we consider irregular wavelet for the form\(\left\{ {\lambda ^{\frac{n}{2}} g\left( {\lambda _j x - kb} \right)} \right\}_{j\varepsilon zj\varepsilon z^n } ,where\;\lambda _j \) > 0 and b > 0. Sufficient conditions for the wavelet system to constitute a frame for L²(R ⁿ ) are given. For a class of functions g∈L²²(R ⁿ ) we prove that certain growth conditions on {λ _j } will frames, and that some other types of sequences exclude the frame property. We also give a sufficient condition for a Gabor system\(\left\{ {e^{zrib\left( {j,x} \right)} g\left( {x - \lambda _k } \right)} \right\}_{j\varepsilon z^n ,k\varepsilon z} \)to be a frame.     

A relationship between twisted conjugacy classes and the geometric invariants Ω<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>

A group G is said to have the property R _∞ if every automorphism \({\varphi \in {\rm Aut}(G)}\) has an infinite number of φ-twisted conjugacy classes. Recent work of Gonçalves and Kochloukova uses the Σ ⁿ (Bieri–Neumann–Strebel–Renz) invariants to show the R _∞ property for a certain class of groups, including the generalized Thompson’s groups F _n,0. In this paper, we make use of the Ω ⁿ invariants, analogous to Σ ⁿ , to show R _∞ for certain finitely generated groups. In particular, we give an alternate and simpler proof of the R _∞ property for BS(1, n). Moreover, we give examples for which the Ω ⁿ invariants can be used to determine the R _∞ property while the Σ ⁿ invariants techniques cannot.     

Certain decompositions of matrices over Abelian rings

A ring R is (weakly) nil clean provided that every element in R is the sum of a (weak) idempotent and a nilpotent. We characterize nil and weakly nil matrix rings over abelian rings. Let R be abelian, and let n ∈ ?. We prove that M ⁿ (R) is nil clean if and only if R/J(R) is Boolean and M _n (J(R)) is nil. Furthermore, we prove that R is weakly nil clean if and only if R is periodic; R/J(R) is ?₃, B or ?₃ ⊕ B where B is a Boolean ring, and that M _n (R) is weakly nil clean if and only if M _n (R) is nil clean for all n ≥ 2.     

Eulerian graphs and automorphisms of a maximal graph

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. Let Γ(R) denote the maximal graph corresponding to the non-unit elements of R, i.e., Γ(R) is a graph with vertices the non-unit elements of R, where two distinct vertices a and b are adjacent if and only if there is a maximal ideal of R containing both. In this paper, we have shown that, for any finite ring R which is not a field, Γ(R) is a Euler graph if and only if R has odd cardinality. Moreover, for any finite ring R ? R ₁×R ₂× · · · ×R _n, where the R _i is a local ring of cardinality p _i ^αi for all i, and the p _i’s are distinct primes, it is shown that Aut(Γ(R)) is isomorphic to a finite direct product of symmetric groups. We have also proved that clique(G(R)’) = χ(G(R)’) for any semi-local ring R, where G(R)’ denote the comaximal graph associated to R.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">π</Emphasis>-Armendariz rings relative to a monoid

Let M be a monoid. A ring R is called M-π-Armendariz if whenever α = a ₁ g ₁ + a ₂ g ₂ + · · · + a _n g _n , β = b ₁ h ₁ + b ₂ h ₂ + · · · + b _m h _m ∈ R[M] satisfy αβ ∈ nil(R[M]), then a _i b _j ∈ nil(R) for all i, j. A ring R is called weakly 2-primal if the set of nilpotent elements in R coincides with its Levitzki radical. In this paper, we consider some extensions of M-π-Armendariz rings and further investigate their properties under the condition that R is weakly 2-primal. We prove that if R is an M-π-Armendariz ring then nil(R[M]) = nil(R)[M]. Moreover, we study the relationship between the weak zip-property (resp., weak APP-property, nilpotent p.p.-property, weak associated prime property) of a ring R and that of the monoid ring R[M] in case R is M-π-Armendariz.     

Strongly lifting modules and strongly dual Rickart modules

The concepts of strongly lifting modules and strongly dual Rickart modules are introduced and their properties are studied and relations between them are given in this paper. It is shown that a strongly lifting module has the strongly summand sum property and the generalized Hopfian property, and a ring R is a strongly regular ring if and only if R_R is a strongly dual Rickart module, if and only if aR is a fully invariant direct summand of R_R for every a ∈ R.     

Commutative Rings whose Proper Ideals are Serial

A result of Nakayama and Skornyakov states that a ring R is an Artinian serial ring if and only if every R-module is serial. This motivated us to study commutative rings for which every proper ideal is serial. In this paper, we determine completely the structure of commutative rings R of which every proper ideal is serial. It is shown that every proper ideal of R is serial, if and only if, either R is a serial ring, or R is a local ring with maximal ideal \({\mathcal {M}}\) such that there exist a uniserial module U and a semisimple module T with \({\mathcal {M}}=U\oplus T\). Moreover, in the latter case, every proper ideal of R is isomorphic to \(U^{\prime }\oplus T^{\prime }\), for some \(U^{\prime }\leq U\) and \(T^{\prime }\leq T\). Furthermore, it is shown that every proper ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring R is serial, if and only if, either R is a finite direct product of discrete valuation domains and local Artinian principal ideal rings, or R is a local ring with maximal ideal \({\mathcal {M}}\) containing a set of elements {w ₁,…,w _n } such that \({\mathcal {M}}=\bigoplus _{i=1}^{n} Rw_{i}\) with at most one non-simple summand. Moreover, another equivalent condition states that: there exists an integer n ≥ 1 such that every proper ideal of R is a direct sum of at most n uniserial R-modules. Finally, we discuss some examples to illustrate our results.
