A depiction of a nonnoetherian integral domain $R$ is a special coordinate ring that provides a framework for describing the geometry of $R$. We show that if $R$ is noetherian in codimension 1, then $R$ has a unique maximal depiction $T$.…

We consider trace ideals in Noetherian rings and focus our attention to one-dimensional analytically irreducible local rings. For such rings we classify those Gorenstein rings which admit only a finite number of trace ideals.

We study the convergence of certain subseries of the harmonic series corresponding to increasing sequences of integers whose digits in a certain base are not uniformly distributed. We also discuss the case of irregular sequences, where the…

If $R$ is a regular and semiartinian ring, it is proved that the following conditions are equivalent: (1) $R$ is unit-regular, (2) every factor ring of $R$ is directly finite, (3) the abelian group $K_0(R)$ is free and admits a basis which…

We investigate exactness of long sequences of homology semimodules associated to Schreier short exact sequences of chain complexes of semimodules.

Let A be the local ring at a point of a normal complex variety with completion R. Srinivas has asked about the possible images of the induced map from Cl A to Cl R over all geometric normal domains A with fixed completion R. We use…

For a smooth projective curve, the cycles of subordinate or, more generally, secant divisors to a given linear series are among some of the most studied objects in classical enumerative geometry. We consider the intersection of two such…

Local and category-theoretical entropies associated with an endomorphism of finite length (i.e., with zero-dimensional closed fiber) of a commutative Noetherian local ring are compared. Local entropy is shown to be less than or equal to…

Unique factorization fails in many rings and monoids, but divisor and transfer homomorphisms provide tools to understand non-unique factorizations. In this expository article, we first explore these notions in the classical setting of…

This paper studies infinite acyclic complexes of finitely generated free modules over a commutative noetherian local ring $(R,m)$ with $m^3=0$. Conclusive results are obtained on the growth of the ranks of the modules in acyclic complexes,…

We introduce the notion of indivisible sequences and show that to any indivisible sequence $\{S, \Psi: S \to R\}$ we can associate faithfully flat ring maps $R \to R'$ that are not descendable. As a corollary, we obtain the first example of…

(Abbr.) We consider a direct representation of a periodic time-function by means of its zero-crossings. The use of the zero-crossings as the describing parameters is made possible by a singular model of a strongly nonlinear electrical…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m}, k=A/\mathfrak{m})$ be a noetherian local ring. Then it is equivalent $n = \dim A = \dim_k \mathfrak{m}/\mathfrak{m}^2$ and $\mathrm{Tor}^A_i(k,k) = 0$ for all $i \gg 0$. The article gives a proof with the…

We show that a zero-sum-free sequence of length $n$ over an abelian group spans at least $2n$ distinct subsequence sums, unless it possesses a rigid, easily-described structure.

In fractal geometry, the main objects of study have been geometric objects with a global dimension that need not be integer valued. More recently, locally fractal objects, ones in which the dimension is a local property rather than a global…

We survey theory developed over the past 10 years of semirings which need not be additively cancellative. The main feature is a specified ``null ideal'' $\mcA_0$ of a semiring $\mcA,$ taking the place of a zero element, which permits…

Let F be an infinite field. We prove that the right zero divisors of a three-dimensional associative F-algebra A must form the union of at most finitely many linear subspaces of A. The proof is elementary and written with students as the…

We address two aspects of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension over local rings and their connection in between: embeddability and grade of order ideals of minimal generators of syzygies. We provide a solution of the…

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…

We construct a log algebraic version of the homotopy sequence for a quasi-projective normal crossing log variety over a log point of characteristic zero and prove some exactness properties of it. Our proofs are purely algebraic.
