Endomorphism rings of completely pure-injective modules

Let be a ring, its injective envelope, and the Jacobson radical of . It is shown that if every finitely generated submodule of embeds in a finitely presented module of projective dimension , then every finitley generated right -module is canonically isomorphic to . This fact, together with a well-known theorem of Osofsky, allows us to prove that if, moreover, is completely pure-injective (a property that holds, for example, when the right pure global dimension of is and hence when is a countable ring), then is semiperfect and is finite-dimensional. We obtain several applications and a characterization of right hereditary right noetherian rings.

     

Spectrally determined growth is generic

Integer-valued polynomials on Krull rings

If is a subring of a Krull ring such that is a valuation ring for every finite index , in Spec, we construct polynomials that map into the maximal possible (for a monic polynomial of fixed degree) power of , for all in Spec simultaneously. This gives a direct sum decomposition of Int, the -module of polynomials with coefficients in the quotient field of that map into , and a criterion when Int has a regular basis (one consisting of 1 polynomial of each non-negative degree).

Polynomial rings over Goldie-Kerr commutative rings II

An overlooked corollary to the main result of the stated paper (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 120 (1994), 989--993) is that any Goldie ring of Goldie dimension 1 has Artinian classical quotient ring , hence is a Kerr ring in the sense that the polynomial ring satisfies the on annihilators . More generally, we show that a Goldie ring has Artinian when every zero divisor of has essential annihilator (in this case is a local ring; see Theorem ). A corollary to the proof is Theorem 2: A commutative ring has Artinian iff is a Goldie ring in which each element of the Jacobson radical of has essential annihilator. Applying a theorem of Beck we show that any ring that has Noetherian local ring for each associated prime is a Kerr ring and has Kerr polynomial ring (Theorem 5).

This paper presents a sufficient condition for the subcategory of to be contravariantly finite in , where is the subcategory of consisting of --modules of projective dimension less than or equal to . As an application of this condition it is shown that is contravariantly finite in for each when is stably equivalent to a hereditary algebra.

     

Nonresonance problems for differential inclusions in separable Banach spaces

Let be a real separable Banach space. The boundary value problem

Either is bounded and is compact for or is compact and is equicontinuous. The mapping is a bounded linear operator and is fixed. The nonresonance problem is solved by using Ma's fixed point theorem along with a recent result of Przeradzki which characterizes the compact sets in

     

Transformations conjugate to their inverses have even essential values

Let be an ergodic automorphism defined on a standard Borel probability space for which and are isomorphic. We study the structure of the conjugating automorphisms and attempt to gain information about the structure of . It was shown in Ergodic transformations conjugate to their inverses by involutions by Goodson et al. (Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems 16 (1996), 97--124) that if is ergodic having simple spectrum and isomorphic to its inverse, and if is a conjugation between and (i.e. satisfies ), then , the identity automorphism. We give a new proof of this result which shows even more, namely that for such a conjugation , the unitary operator induced by on must have a multiplicity function whose essential values on the ortho-complement of the subspace are always even. In particular, we see that can be weakly mixing, so the corresponding must have even maximal spectral multiplicity (regarding as an even number).

It follows that the Bass numbers of are finite. If is not a domain, then the same results hold for .
