Let $D$ be a division ring with center $F$. We say that $D$ is a {\em division ring of type $2$} if for every two elements $x, y\in D,$ the division subring $F(x, y)$ is a finite dimensional vector space over $F$. In this paper we…

The W-polynomial is applied in two ways to questions involving the Kauffman bracket of some families of links. First we find a geometric property of a link diagram, which is less than or equal to the twist number, that bounds the Mahler…

This paper began as an investigation of the question of whether $D_1 \otimes_F D_2$ is a domain where the $D_i$ are division algebras and $F$ is an algebraically closed field contained in their centers. We present an example where the…

A polynomial with integer coefficients yields a family of dynamical systems indexed by primes as follows: for any prime $p$, reduce its coefficients mod $p$ and consider its action on the field $\mathbb{F}_p$. We say a subset of…

Let R and S be two irreducible root systems spanning the same vector space and having the same Weyl group W, such that S (but not necessarily R) is reduced. For each such pair (R,S) we construct a family of W-invariant orthogonal…

We investigate the rings in which the set of nonzero elements is positive-existential (i.e. a finite union of projections of "algebraic" sets). In the case of Noetherian domains, we prove in particular that this condition is satisfied…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, let X=P^1\times A^N and let f be a rational endomorphism of X given by (x,y)--->(g(x), A(x)y), where g is a rational function, while A is an N-by-N matrix with entries in k(x). We…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety. The Iitaka dimension of a divisor $D$ is an important invariant, but it does not only depend on the numerical class of $D$. However, there are several definitions of ``numerical Iitaka dimension'',…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be sets of polynomials of degree $n$ over a finite field. We show, that if $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are large enough, then $A+B$ has an irreducible divisor of large degree for some…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. It is shown that $R$ is Artinian if and only if every $R$-module is good, if and only if every $R$-module is representable. As a result, it follows that every nonzero submodule of any representable…

We study mappings that satisfy the inverse Poletsky inequality in a domain of the Euclidean space. Under certain conditions on the definition and mapped domains, it is established that they have a continuous extension to the boundary in…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. Assume that $R$ has a pair $\{x,y\}$ of exact zerodivisors such that $\dim R/(x,y)\ge2$ and all totally reflexive $R/(x)$-modules are free. We show that the first and second Brauer--Thrall…

Generalized Cox's construction associates with an algebraic variety a remarkable invariant -- its total coordinate ring, or Cox ring. In this note we give a new proof of factoriality of the Cox ring when the divisor class group of the…

We study the effects on $D$ of assuming that the power series ring $D[[X]]$ is a $v$-domain or a PVMD. We show that a PVMD $D$ is completely integrally closed if and only if $\bigcap_{n=1}^{\infty }(I^{n})_{v}=(0)$ for every proper…

An integral domain is said to have the IDF property when every non-zero element of it has only a finite number of non-associate irreducible divisors. A counterexample has already been found showing that IDF property does not necessarily…

Let $\chi(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a monic polynomial whose roots are distinct integers. We study the ideal class monoid and the ideal class group of the ring $\mathbb{Z}[x]/(\chi(x))$. We obtain formulas for the orders of these objects, and…

Let $S$ be a commutative noetherian ring. The extensions of matrix factorizations of non-zerodivisors $x_1,\dots,x_n$ of $S$ form a full subcategory of finitely generated modules over the quotient ring $S/(x_1\cdots x_n)$. In this paper, we…

Let $S$ be a subset of $\overline{\mathbb Z}$, the ring of all algebraic integers. A polynomial $f \in \mathbb Q[X]$ is said to be integral-valued on $S$ if $f(s) \in \overline{\mathbb Z}$ for all $s \in S$. The set $\text{Int}_{\mathbb…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety with a faithful $G$-action, and $Y$ be a resolution of singularities of $X/G$. Larsen and Lunts asked whether $[X/G]-[Y]$ is divisible by $[\mathbb{A}^1]$ in the…

The distributive property can be studied through bilinear maps and various morphisms between these maps. The adjoint-morphisms between bilinear maps establish a complete abelian category with projectives and admits a duality. Thus the…
