Structure on the set of closure operations of a commutative ring

Commutative Algebra 2008-09-12 v1

Abstract

We investigate the algebraic structure on the set of closure operations of a ring. We show the set of closure operations is not a monoid under composition for a discrete valuation ring. Even the set of semiprime operations over a DVR is not a monoid; however, it is the union of two monoids, one being the left but not right act of the other. We also determine all semiprime operations over the ring K[[t2,t3]]K[[t^2, t^3]].
