Completions play an important r\^ole for studying structure by supplying elements that in some sense ``ought to be." Among these, the Dedekind-MacNeille completion is of particular importance. In 1968 Janowitz provided necessary and…
Neuwirth asked if any non-trivial knot in the 3-sphere can be embedded in a closed surface so that the complement of the surface is a connected essential surface for the knot complement. In this paper, we examine some variations on this…
In this paper, we give a new completion for quasi-uniform spaces which generalizes the completion theories of Doitchinov [8] and Stoltenberg [20]. The presented completion theory is very well-behaved and extends the completion theory of…
In this article, we construct integrally closed modules of rank two over a two-dimensional regular local ring. The modules are explicitly constructed from a given complete monomial ideal with respect to a regular system of parameters. Then…
Illumination complexes are examples of 'flat polyhedral complexes' which arise if several copies of a convex polyhedron (convex body) Q are glued together along some of their common faces (closed convex subsets of their boundaries). A…
Let $K$ be a field. We attach to each finite poset $\mathbb P$ a von Neumann regular $K$-algebra $Q_K(\mathbb P)$ in a functorial way. We show that the monoid of isomorphism classes of finitely generated projective $Q_K(\mathbb P)$-modules…
Idempotents dominate the structure theory of rings. The Peirce decomposition induced by an idempotent provides a natural environment for defining and classifying new types of rings. This point of view offers a way to unify and to expand the…
We show that some ternary quasigroups appear naturally as invariants of classical links and links on surfaces. We also note how to obtain from them invariants of Yoshikawa moves. In our previous paper, we defined homology theory for…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension $d$. In this paper, we first show that some power of the cohomology annihilator annihilates the $(d+1)$-th Ext modules for all finitely generated modules when either $R$ admits a…
We show that any normed space $(K^n,\|\cdot\|)$, $n\ge 2$, over a field $K$ equipped with a nontrivial non-Archimedean valuation admits a paradoxical decomposition using four pieces with respect to the group of its affine isometries,…
Valuation rings and perfectoid rings are examples of (usually non-noetherian) rings that behave in some sense like regular rings. We give and study an extension of the concept of regular local rings to non-noetherian rings so that it…
This article gives a short proof that all ideal polygons admit a short orthogeodesic decomposition. Specifically, all $n$-gons admit an orthogeodesic decomposition with orthogeodesics all of length at most $\sim 2 \log(n)$, and this is…
Primary decomposition of commutative monoid congruences is insensitive to certain features of primary decomposition in commutative rings. These features are captured by the more refined theory of mesoprimary decomposition of congruences,…
Cohomology and deformation theories are developed for Poisson algebras starting with the more general concept of a Leibniz pair, namely of an associative algebra $A$ together with a Lie algebra $L$ mapped into the derivations of $A$. A…
Both classical and virtual knots arise as formal Gauss diagrams modulo some abstract moves corresponding to Reidemeister moves. If we forget about both over/under crossings structure and writhe numbers of knots modulo the same Reidemeister…
In what follows we generalize the notion of a complemented ring to rings that are not necessarily reduced. We then determine how our concepts fit in with other well-known classes of rings.
We prove a mixed-characteristic analogue of Kunz's theorem in terms of perfectoid towers: a Noetherian local ring of residue characteristic $p$ is regular if and only if it admits a flat map to a Noetherian ring that extends to a perfectoid…
Idealization of a module $K$ over a commutative ring $S$ produces a ring having $K$ as an ideal, all of whose elements are nilpotent. We develop a method that under suitable field-theoretic conditions produces from an $S$-module $K$ and…
The octahedral decomposition of classical link complements has been considered and utilised by Weeks, Rubinstein, Sakuma etc. It is even more natural to consider the octahedral decomposition of virtual link complements. In this paper, we…
We introduce the notion of being cohomologically complete for objects of the derived category of sheaves of $Z[\hbar]$-modules on a topological space. Then we consider a $Z[\hbar]$-algebra satisfying some suitable conditions and prove…
