Let $X$ be a completely regular topological space. We study closed ideals $H$ of $C_B(X)$, the normed algebra of bounded continuous scalar-valued mappings on $X$ equipped with pointwise addition and multiplication and the supremum norm,…

We introduce the concept of topological finite-determinacy for germs of analytic functions within a fixed ideal $I$, which provides a notion of topological finite-determinacy of functions with non-isolated singularities. We prove the…

C. Akemann and G. Pedersen defined three concepts of semicontinuity for self-adjoint elements of A**, the enveloping von Neumann algebra of a C*-algebra A. We give the basic properties of the analogous concepts for elements of pA**p, where…

Let $M$ be a left module over a ring $R$ and $I$ an ideal of $R$. We call $(P, f)$ a (locally)projective $I$-cover of $M$ if $f$ is an epimorphism from $P$ to $M$, $P$ is (locally)projective, $Kerf\subseteq IP$, and whenever $P=Kerf+X$,…

Let $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A})$ be the ring of all real valued measurable functions defined over the measurable space $(X,\mathcal{A})$. Given an ideal $I$ in $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A})$ and a measure $\mu:\mathcal{A}\to[0,\infty]$, we…

We introduce two closure operations on ideals in commutative rings related to the ring operation of root closure. One closure is the result of iterating a root-like operation on ideals infinitely many times, and the other closure arises as…

Among the several types of closures of an ideal $I$ that have been defined and studied in the past decades, the integral closure $\bar{I}$ has a central place being one of the earliest and most relevant. Despite this role, it is often a…

We characterize the tight closure of graded primary ideals in a homogeneous coordinate ring over an elliptic curve by numerical conditions and we show that it is in positive characteristic the same as the plus closure.

The (full) extended plus closure was developed as a replacement for tight closure in mixed characteristic rings. Here it is shown by adapting Andr\'{e}'s perfectoid algebra techniques that, for complete local rings that have F-finite…

An ideal $I$ is a family of subsets of positive integers $\textbf{N}$ which is closed under taking finite unions and subsets of its elements. A sequence $(x_n)$ of real numbers is said to be $I$-convergent to a real number $L$, if for each…

The supremum of reduction numbers of ideals having principal reductions is expressed in terms of the integral degree, a new invariant of the ring, which is finite provided the ring has finite integral closure. As a consequence, one obtains…

Broadening existing results in the literature to much wider classes of rings, we prove among other things: 1. Reduced quotients of excellent regular rings of characteristic $p$ admit big test elements, 2. The set of F-jumping numbers of a…

Let $X$ be a first countable space which admits a non-trivial convergent sequence and let $\mathcal{I}$ be an analytic P-ideal. First, it is shown that the sets of $\mathcal{I}$-limit points of all sequences in $X$ are closed if and only if…

For a prime ideal $\mathfrak{P}$ of the ring of integers of a number field $K$, we give a general definition of $\mathfrak{P}$-adic continued fraction, which also includes classical definitions of continued fractions in the field of…

Let I be an m-primary ideal of a Noetherian local ring (R,m) of positive dimension. The coefficient $e_1(A)$ of the Hilbert polynomial of an I-admissible filtration A is called the Chern number of A. The Positivity Conjecture of Vasconcelos…

We present some sufficient conditions for continuity of the mapping $f:\langle X,\tau_X^*\rangle \to \langle Y,\tau_Y^*\rangle$, where $\tau_X^*$ and $\tau_Y^*$ are topologies induced by the local function on $X$ and $Y$, resp. under the…

Let $F$ be a field. For each nonempty subset $X$ of the Zariski-Riemann space of valuation rings of $F$, let ${A}(X) = \bigcap_{V \in X}V$ and ${J}(X) = \bigcap_{V \in X}{\mathfrak M}_V$, where ${\mathfrak M}_V$ denotes the maximal ideal of…

Let $R$ be an excellent Noetherian ring of prime characteristic. Consider an arbitrary nested pair of ideals (or more generally, a nested pair of submodules of a fixed finite module). We do \emph{not} assume that their quotient has finite…

we prove that if $X$ is a locally compact $\sigma$-compact space then on its quotient, $\gamma(X)$ say, determined by the algebra of all real valued bounded continuous functions on $X$, the quotient topology and the completely regular…

We prove that if $X$ is a topological space that admits Debreu's classical utility theorem (eg.\ $X$ is separable and connected, second countable, etc.), then order relations on $X$ satisfying milder completeness conditions can be…
