Locally acyclic cluster algebras are Krull domains. Hence their factorization theory is determined by their (divisor) class group and the set of classes containing height-1 prime ideals. Motivated by this, we investigate class groups of…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, let $X$ and $Y$ be smooth irreducible algebraic curves over $k$, and let $D(X)$ and $D(Y)$ denote respectively the quotient division rings of the ring of differential…

Let $K$ be a field, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$, and let $\delta$ be a derivation of $K$. We show that if $D$ is one of $K(x;\sigma)$ or $K(x;\delta)$, then $D$ either contains a free algebra over its center on two generators, or…

Let $A$ be a finitary algebra over a finite field $k$, and $A$-$mod$ the category of finite dimensional left $A$-modules. Let $\mathcal{H}(A)$ be the corresponding Hall algebra, and for a positive integer $r$ let $D_{r}(A)$ be the subspace…

This paper surveys and develops links between polynomial invariants of finite groups, factorization theory of Krull domains, and product-one sequences over finite groups. The goal is to gain a better understanding of the multiplicative…

This book is a rigorous and conceptually oriented introduction to ring theory. The emphasis is on structural understanding rather than encyclopedic coverage: rings are studied through ideals, homomorphisms, quotients, and universal…

In this paper, we address various aspects of divisibility by irreducibles in rings consisting of integer-valued polynomials. An integral domain is called atomic if every nonzero nonunit factors into irreducibles. Atomic domains that do not…

A differential module is a module equipped with a square-zero endomorphism. This structure underpins complexes of modules over rings, as well as differential graded modules over graded rings. We establish lower bounds on the class--a…

The ring of integer-valued polynomials on an arbitrary integral domain is well-studied. In this paper we initiate and provide motivation for the study of integer-valued polynomials on commutative rings and modules. Several examples are…

New and old results on closed polynomials, i.e., such polynomials f in K[x_1,...,x_n] that the subalgebra K[f] is integrally closed in K[x_1,...,x_n], are collected. Using some properties of closed polynomials we prove the following…

Given a standard graded polynomial ring $R=k[x_1,...,x_n]$ over a field $k$ of characteristic zero and a graded $k$-subalgebra $A=k[f_1,...,f_m]\subset R$, one relates the module $\Omega_{A/k}$ of K\"ahler $k$-differentials of $A$ to the…

Let L be the Leavitt path algebra of an arbitrary directed graph E over a field K. This survey article describes how this highly non-commutative ring L shares a number of the characterizing properties of a Dedekind domain or a Pr\"ufer…

We consider the problem of finding the isolated common roots of a set of polynomial functions defining a zero-dimensional ideal I in a ring R of polynomials over C. We propose a general algebraic framework to find the solutions and to…

Let $A$ be an integral domain with quotient field $K$ of characteristic $0$ that is finitely generated as a $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra. Denote by $D(F)$ the discriminant of a polynomial $F\in A[X]$. Further, given a finite etale algebra $\Omega$,…

It is often stated that the Carlitz module is to the ring of univariate polynomials over a finite field what the multiplicative group is to the ring of integers. This analogy extends to the "rank 2" case, where Drinfeld modules play a role…

Ore operators with polynomial coefficients form a common algebraic abstraction for representing D-finite functions. They form the Ore ring $K(x)[D_x]$, where $K$ is the constant field. Suppose $K$ is the quotient field of some principal…

We show how to construct discretely ordered principal ideal subrings of $\mathbb Q[x]$ with various types of prime behaviour. Given any set $\mathcal D$ consisting of finite strictly increasing sequences $(d_1,d_2,\dots, d_l)$ of positive…

Let D be a Euclidean domain, with fraction field K. Let R(D) be the subring of K generated by the reciprocals of the nonzero elements of D. The main theorem states that if R(D) is not equal to K, then R(D) is a rank 1 discrete valuation…

Analytic properties of function spaces over the real and the complex fields are different in some ways. This reflects in algebraic properties which are different at times and similar in some other respects. For instance, the ring of…

We study the images of polynomial maps over algebraically closed division rings. Our first result generalizes the classical Ax-Grothendieck theorem: We show that if $ f_1, \ldots, f_m $ are elements of the free associative algebra $…
