We introduce a new class of commutative {non-noetherian} rings, called $n$-subperfect rings, generalizing the almost perfect rings that have been studied recently by Fuchs-Salce. For an integer $n \ge 0$, the ring $R$ is $n$-subperfect if…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a complete local ring to be the completion of a noncatenary local (Noetherian) domain, as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for it to be the completion of a noncatenary local…

We obtain several fundamental results on finite index ideals and additive subgroups of rings as well as on model-theoretic connected components of rings, which concern generating in finitely many steps inside additive groups of rings. Let…

We introduce a similarity relation between submodules of a module $M$ over a ring $R$, extending the classical notion of similarity for right ideals. Focusing on (faithfully) projective modules, we establish a sharp lower bound for the…

We show that if a group G is mixed-identity-free, then the projective unitary group of its group von Neumann algebra contains a maximal discrete subgroup containing G. The proofs are elementary and make use of free probability theory. In…

Let $S$ be an integral domain with field of fractions $F$ and let $A$ be an $F$-algebra having an $S$-stable basis. We prove the existence of an $S$-subalgebra $R$ of $A$ lying over $S$ whose localization with respect to $S$ is $A$ (we call…

Let $R$ be a ring (not necessary commutative) with non-zero identity. The unit graph of $R$, denoted by $G(R)$, is a graph with elements of $R$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if $a+b$ is a…

Let $D$ be a division ring with the center $F$ and $D^*$ be the multiplicative group of $D$. In this paper we study locally nilpotent maximal subgroups of $D^*$. We give some conditions that influence the existence of locally nilpotent…

A theorem of O. Forster says that if $R$ is a noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$, then any projective $R$-module of rank $n$ can be generated by $d+n$ elements. S. Chase and R. Swan subsequently showed that this bound is sharp: there…

Absolute integral closures of general commutative unital rings are explored. All rings admit absolute integral closures, but in general they are not unique. Among the reduced rings with finitely many minimal prime ideals, finite products of…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a local Noetherian ring with residue field $k$. While much is known about the generating sets of reductions of ideals of $R$ if $k$ is infinite, the case in which $k$ is finite is less well understood. We…

The rank of a ring $R$ is the supremum of minimal cardinalities of generating sets of $I$ as $I$ ranges over ideals of $R$. Matson showed that every positive integer occurs as the rank of some ring $R$. Motivated by the result of Cohen and…

We observe that a finitely generated algebraic algebra R (over a field) is finite dimensional if and only if the associated graded ring grR is right noetherian, if and only if grR has right Krull dimension, if and only if grR satisfies a…

The small finitistic dimension fPD$(R)$ of a ring $R$ is defined to be the supremum of projective dimensions of $R$-modules with finite projective resolutions. In this paper, we show that a commutative ring $R$ has fPD$(R)\leq d$ if and…

For a division ring $D$, denote by $\mathcal M_D$ the $D$-ring obtained as the completion of the direct limit $\varinjlim_n M_{2^n}(D)$ with respect to the metric induced by its unique rank function. We prove that, for any ultramatricial…

Let $r$ and $n$ be positive integers such that $r<n$, and $\mathbb{K}$ be an arbitrary field. We determine the maximal dimension for an affine subspace of $n$ by $n$ symmetric (or alternating) matrices with entries in $\mathbb{K}$ and with…

We study the existence of maximal ideals in preadditive categories defining an order $\preceq$ between objects, in such a way that if there do not exist maximal objects with respect to $\preceq$, then there is no maximal ideal in the…

Let $E\supseteq F$ be a field extension and $M$ a graded Lie algebra of maximal class over $E$. We investigate the $F$-subalgebras $L$ of $M$, generated by elements of degree $1$. We provide conditions for $L$ being either ideally…

A nonzero element of an integral domain (or commutative cancellative monoid) is called atomic if it can be written as a finite product of irreducible elements (also called atoms). In this paper, we introduce and investigate an unrestricted…

Any superrosy division ring (i.e. a division ring equipped with an abstract notion of rank) is shown to be centrally finite. Furthermore, division rings satisfying a generalized chain condition on definable subgroups are studied. In…
