Let $I$ denote an ideal in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. Let $M$ be an $R$-module. The $I$-adic completion is defined by $\hat{M}^I = \varprojlim{}_{\alpha} M/I^{\alpha}M$. Then $M$ is called $I$-adic complete whenever the natural…

Recently, in a series of papers "simple" versions of direct-injective and direct-projective modules have been investigated. These modules are termed as "simple-direct-injective" and "simple-direct-projective", respectively. In this paper,…

A finitely generated module C over a commutative noetherian ring R is semidualizing if Hom_R(C,C) \cong R and Ext^i_R(C,C) = 0 for all i \geq 1. For certain local Cohen-Macaulay rings (R,m), we verify the equality of Hilbert-Samuel…

It is proved that every commutative ring whose RD-injective modules are $\Sigma$-RD-injective is the product of a pure semi-simple ring and a finite ring. A complete characterization of commutative rings for which each artinian…

Motivated by work of C. U. Jensen, R.-O. Buchweitz, and H. Flenner, we prove the following result. Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $a$ an ideal in the Jacobson radical of $R$. Let $\hat{R}^a$ be the $a$-adic completion of $R$.…

We construct a family of semiprimitive and non von Neumann regular rings satisfying that any right or left module is isomorphic to a quotient of its flat cover (in the sense of Enochs) by a small submodule. This answers in the negative a…

An element of a ring is unique clean if it can be uniquely written as the sum of an idempotent and a unit. A ring $R$ is uniquely $\pi$-clean if some power of every element in $R$ is uniquely clean. In this article, we prove that a ring $R$…

$(1)$ Let $M\subset N$ be a commutative cancellative torsion-free and subintegral extension of monoids. Then we prove that in the case of ring extension $A[M]\subset A[N]$, the two notions, subintegral and weakly subintegral coincide…

An element of a ring R is called clean if it is the sum of an idempotent and a unit. A ring R is called clean if each of its element is clean. An element r \in R called regular if r = ryr for some y \in R. The ring R is regular if each of…

A ring is called a commutator ring if every element is a sum of additive commutators. In this paper we give examples of such rings. In particular, we show that given any ring R, a right R-module N, and a set X, End_R(\bigoplus_X N) and…

Let $R$ be a commutative local ring. It is proved that $R$ is Henselian if and only if each $R$-algebra which is a direct limit of module finite $R$-algebras is strongly clean. So, the matrix ring $\mathbb{M}_n(R)$ is strongly clean for…

An associative ring with 1 is said to be semilocal provided it is semisimple artinian modulo its Jacobson radical, that is, modulo its Jacobson radical it is isomorphic to a finite product of matrices over division rings. Modules with a…

A direct sum decomposition theory is developed for direct summands (and complements) of modules over a semiring $R$, having the property that $v+w = 0$ implies $v = 0$ and $w = 0$. Although this never occurs when $R$ is a ring, it always…

Let $M$ be a module. A {\em $\delta$-cover} of $M$ is an epimorphism from a module $F$ onto $M$ with a $\delta$-small kernel. A $\delta$-cover is said to be a {\em flat $\delta$-cover} in case $F$ is a flat module. In the present paper, we…

An exchange ring $R$ is separative provided that for all finitely generated projective right $R$-modules $A$ and $B$, $A\oplus A\cong A\oplus B\cong B\oplus B\Longrightarrow A\cong B$. Let $R$ be a separative exchange ring in which $2$ is…

Let R be a ring and let G be a group. We prove a rather curious necessary and sufficient condition for the commutative group ring RG to be weakly nil-neat only in terms of R,G and their sections. This somewhat expands three recent results,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $R$-module, and let $I(R)^*$ be the set of all non-trivial ideals of $R$. The $M$-intersection graph of ideals of $R$, denoted by $G_M(R)$, is a graph with the vertex set $I(R)^*$, and two…

We use pullbacks of rings to realize the submonoids $M$ of $(\N_0\cup\{\infty\})^k$ which are the set of solutions of a finite system of linear diophantine inequalities as the monoid of isomorphism classes of countably generated projective…

Let R be a left Artinian ring, and M a faithful left R-module which is minimal, in the sense that no proper submodule or proper homomorphic image of M is faithful. If R is local, and socle(R) is central in R, we show that…

We continue investigating the interaction between flatness and $\mathfrak{a}$-adic completion for infinitely generated modules over a commutative ring $A$. We introduce the concept of $\mathfrak{a}$-adic flatness, which is weaker than…
