Let R be a commutative Noetherian local ring. This paper deals with the problem asking whether R is Gorenstein if the n-th syzygy of the residue field of R has a nontrivial direct summand of finite G-dimension for some n. It is proved that…

The aim of this paper is to try to answer Herstein's question concerning simple rings with involution, namely: If $R$ is a simple ring with an involution of the first kind, with $dim_{Z(R)}R > 4$ and $\Char(Z(R))\neq 2$, is it true that…

B. Blackadar recently proved that any full corner $pAp$ in a unital C*-algebra $A$ has K-theoretic stable rank greater than or equal to the stable rank of $A$. (Here $p$ is a projection in $A$, and fullness means that $ApA=A$.) This result…

A ring $R$ is said to be centrally essential if for every its non-zero element $a$, there exist non-zero central elements $x$ and $y$ with $ax = y$. A ring $R$ is said to be completely centrally essential if all its factor rings are…

Given a list of complex numbers \sigma:=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,...,\lambda_m), we say that {\sigma} is realisable if {\sigma} is the spectrum of some (entrywise) nonnegative matrix. The Nonnegative Inverse Eigenvalue Problem (or NIEP) is the…

Let $R$ be a ring and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $R$. Then $R$ is called a uniformly $S$-Noetherian ($u$-$S$-Noetherian for abbreviation) ring provided there exists an element $s\in S$ such that for any ideal $I$ of $R$, $sI \subseteq…

A ring R is Zhou nil-clean if every element in R is the sum of two tripotents and a nilpotent that commute. Let R be a Zhou nil-clean ring. If R is 2-primal (of bounded index), we prove that every square matrix over R is the sum of two…

An $S$-ring (a Schur ring) is said to be separable with respect to a class of groups $\mathcal{K}$ if every algebraic isomorphism from the $S$-ring in question to an $S$-ring over a group from $\mathcal{K}$ is induced by a combinatorial…

A Hausdorff topological semiring is called simple if every non-zero continuous homomorphism into another Hausdorff topological semiring is injective. Classical work by Anzai and Kaplansky implies that any simple compact ring is finite. We…

We introduce and study a subring $\mathcal{SC}$ of $\mathbb Z[\mathrm{SL}\_2(\mathbb F\_q)]$ obtained by summing elements of $\mathrm{SL}\_2(\mathbb F\_q)$ according to their support. The ring $\mathcal SC$ can be used for the construction…

In this article, we prove that if $R\to S$ is a homomorphism of Noetherian rings that splits, then for every $i\geq 0$ and ideal $I\subset R$, $\Ass_R H^i_I(R)$ is finite when $\Ass_S H^i_{IS}(S)$ is finite. In addition, if $S$ is a…

We prove that in normal rings the tight closure of an ideal can be computed as the sum of the ideal and a piece of the tight closure, called the special tight closure.

In this paper we study (non-commutative) rings $R$ over which every finitely generated left module is a direct sum of cyclic modules (called left FGC-rings). The commutative case was a well-known problem studied and solved in 1970s by…

This note contains a short proof of a classical result: any rational symplectic matrix can be put in diagonal form after right and left multiplication by integral symplectic matrices.

In a previous paper Cuntz and Deninger introduced the ring $C(R)$ for a perfect $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra $R$. The ring $C(R)$ is canonically isomorphic to the $p$-typical Witt ring $W(R)$. In fact there exist canonical isomorphisms $\alpha_n…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $R$. An $R$-module $M$ is said to be a uniformly $S$-Artinian ($u$-$S$-Artinian for abbreviation) module if there is $s\in S$ such that any descending chain of…

Let cp(R) be the probability that two random elements of a finite ring R commute and zp(R) the probability that the product of two random elements in R is zero. We show that if cp(R)=e, then there exists a Lie-ideal D in the Lie-ring…

An element in a ring $R$ is called clear if it is the sum of unit-regular element and unit. An associative ring is clear if every its element is clear. In this paper we defined clear rings and extended many results to wider class. Finally,…

We study the probability that the product of two randomly chosen elements in a finite ring $R$ is equal to some fixed element $x \in R$. We calculate this probability for semisimple rings and some special classes of local rings, and find…

A module is said to be \textsf{distributive} if the lattice of its submodules is distributive. A direct sum of distributive modules is called a \textsf{semidistributive} module. In this paper we consider rings $A$ such that all right…
