Let R be an excellent local ring, m its maximal ideal and I an ideal. Then there exists a positive integer c such that for all integers n, the integral closure of (I + m^n) is contained in m^(n/c) + the integral closure of I. In the proof,…

We continue the study of the rich family of norm-closed, automorphism invariant ideals of a continuous nest algebra. First we present a unified framework which captures all stable ideals as the kernels of limits of diagonal compressions. We…

We investigate formal power series ideals and their relationship to topological rewriting theory. Since commutative formal power series algebras are Zariski rings, their ideals are closed for the adic topology defined by the maximal ideal…

Let A be a Noetherian ring and B be a finitely generated A-algebra. Denote by A' the integral closure of A in B. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for prime ideals to be in Ass_{A}(B/A') and Ass_{A'}(B/A') generalizing and…

For a set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ that contains the origin we consider $I^m(E)$ -- the set of all $m^{\text{th}}$ degree Taylor approximations (at the origin) of $C^m$ functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that vanish on $E$. This set is an ideal in…

In this article, we define three new operations on ideals which generalize integral closure and Frobenius closure of ideals, whose definitions incorporate an auxiliary ideal and a real parameter. These additional ingredients are common in…

We introduce and prove the consistency of a new set theoretic axiom we call the \emph{Invariant Ideal Axiom}. The axiom enables us to provide (consistently) a full topological classification of countable sequential groups, as well as fully…

For a nonempty topological space X, the ring of all real-valued functions on $X$ with pointwise addition and multiplication is denoted by $F(X)$ and continuous members of $F(X)$ is denoted by $C(X)$. Let $A(X)$ be a subring of $F(X)$ and…

A Cech closure space $(X,u)$ is a set $X$ with a (Cech) closure operator $u$ which need not be idempotent. Many properties which hold in topological spaces hold in Cech closure spaces as well. The notions of proper (splitting) and…

A proper ideal $I$ in a commutative ring with unity is called a $z^\circ$-ideal if for each $a$ in $I$, the intersection of all minimal prime ideals in $R$ which contain $a$ is contained in $I$. For any totally ordered field $F$ and a…

By definition, an $\m$-primary ideal $I$ in a 2-dimensional regular local ring $(R, \m)$ is contracted if $I=R \cap IR[\m/x]$ for some $x \in \m \setminus \m^2$. Contracted ideals have been introduced by Zariski and used for proving the…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $N$ a finitely generated $R$-module and $I$ an ideal of $R$. The set $\bar{Q^*}(I, N)$, the quintasymptotic primes of $I$ with respect to $N$, was originally introduced by McAdam \cite{Mc2}. Also,…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an analytically unramified formally equidimensional Noetherian local ring with $\ depth \ A \geq 2$. Let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal and set $I^*$ to be the integral closure of $I$. Set $G^*(I) =…

This paper is concerned with the tight closure of an ideal $I$ in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ of prime characteristic $p$. The formal definition requires, on the face of things, an infinite number of checks to determine whether or not…

Let R be an integral domain and I a nonzero ideal of R. A sub-ideal J of I is a t-reduction of I if (JI^{n})_{t}=(I^{n+1})_{t} for some positive integer n. An element x in R is t-integral over I if there is an equation x^{n} + a_{1}x^{n-1}…

We combine an ideal topological space $(X, \tau, \mathcal{I})$ with a scope function $\mathfrak{a}: X \to \tau$, $x \in \mathfrak{a}(x)$, to form what we call an ideal-aura topological space $(X, \tau, \mathcal{I}, \mathfrak{a})$. The…

Three themes of general topology: quotient spaces; absolute retracts; and inverse limits - are reapproached here in the setting of metrizable uniform spaces, with an eye to applications in geometric and algebraic topology. The results…

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…

In this paper, we will define $\mathcal{I}^{*}$-sequential topology on a topological space $(X,\tau)$ where $\mathcal{I}$ is an ideal of the subset of natural numbers $\mathbb{N}$. Besides the basic properties of the…

Let $\pi: Y\rightarrow X$ be a continuous surjection between compact Hausdorff spaces $Y$ and $X$ which is irreducible in the sense that if $F\subsetneq Y$ is closed, then $\pi(F)\neq X$. We exhibit isomorphisms between various Boolean…
