In the note we construct a family of \'etale coverings of the affine line. More specifically, let $F$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$ and suppose that the cardinality of $F$ is at least 4. Let $A = F[T]$ be the polynomial ring in…

For a semialgebraic set K in R^n, let P_d(K) be the cone of polynomials in R^n of degrees at most d that are nonnegative on K. This paper studies the geometry of its boundary. When K=R^n and d is even, we show that its boundary lies on the…

For any affine hypersurface defined by a complete symmetric polynomial in $k\geq 3$ variables of degree $m$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of $q$ elements, a special case of our theorem says that this hypersurface has at least…

Complexity problems associated with finite rings and finite semigroups, particularly semigroups of matrices over a field and the Rees matrix semigroups, are examined. Let M_nF be the ring of n x n matrices over the finite field F and let…

We describe a simple criterion for showing that a group has Serre's property FA. By exhibiting a certain pattern of finite subgroups, we show that this criterion is satisfied by Aut(F_n) and SL(n,Z) when n>=3.

We introduce a fundamental homological invariant, called Serre depth, which stratifies Serre's conditions in the same way that depth stratifies the Cohen-Macaulay property. We study the Serre depths of modules over arbitrary Noetherian…

Let $M$ be a cancellative monoid. It is known~\cite{Ta54} that if $M$ is left amenable then the monoid ring $K[M]$ satisfies Ore condition, that is, there exist nontrivial common right multiples for the elements of this ring.…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $\alpha$ an automorphism of $R$. This paper addresses the question: when does the skew polynomial ring $S = R[\theta; \alpha]$ satisfy the property $(\diamond)$, that for every simple $S$-module…

We extend and generalize the results of Scheiderer (2006) on the representation of polynomials nonnegative on two-dimensional basic closed semialgebraic sets. Our extension covers some situations where the defining polynomials do not…

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an algebraic set in a group to have a fully characteristic radical. As a result, we see that if the radical of a system of equation $S$ over a group $G$ is fully characteristic, then there…

The notion of "toric face rings" generalizes both Stanley-Reisner rings and affine semigroup rings, and has been studied by Bruns, Romer, et.al. Here, we will show that, for a toric face ring $R$, the "graded" Matlis dual of a Cech complex…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m}_R,k)$ be a one-dimensional complete local reduced $k$-algebra over a field of characteristic zero. The ring $R$ is said to be quasihomogeneous if there exists a surjection $\Omega_R\twoheadrightarrow \mathfrak{m}$ where…

For each positive prime integer $p$ we construct a standard graded $F$-rational ring $R$, over a field $K$ of characteristic $p$, such that $R\otimes_K\overline{K}$ is not $F$-rational. By localizing we obtain a flat local homomorphism $(R,…

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring, let $\frak a$ and $\frak b$ be two ideals of $R$; and let $\Ss$ be a Serre subcategory of $R$-modules. We give a necessary and sufficient condition by which $\Ss$ satisfies $C_{\frak a}$ and…

We prove that any affine ring $R$ over a field $k$ has full cosupport, i.e., the cosupport of $R$ is equal to ${\rm Spec}\, R$. Using this fact, we give a complete description of all terms in a minimal pure-injective resolution of $R$,…

For every $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$ and every field $K$, let $M(m \times n, K)$ be the vector space of the $(m \times n)$-matrices over $K$ and let $S(n,K)$ be the vector space of the symmetric $(n \times n)$-matrices over $K$. We say that an…
