We provide a geometric model for the classifying space of automorphism groups of Hermitian vector bundles over a ring with involution $R$ such that $\frac{1}{2} \in R$; this generalizes a result of Schlichting-Tripathi \cite{SchTri}. We…
We introduce the concept of rings of simple range 2. Based on this concept, we build a theory diagonal reduction of matrices over Bezout domain. In particular we show that invariant Bezout domain is an elementary divisor ring if and only if…
Let $RG$ denote the group ring of the torsion group $G$ over a commutative ring $R$ with identity. In this paper we present proofs of some statements that appear without to be proved in the literature. We establish the valid implications…
It is well known that the full matrix ring over a skew-field is a simple ring. We generalize this theorem to the case of semirings. We characterize the case when the matrix semiring $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$, of all $n\times n$ matrices over a…
We introduce the class E2 (resp. SE2) of commutative rings R with the property that each unimodular 2 x 2 matrix with entries in R extends to an invertible 3 x 3 matrix (resp. invertible 3 x 3 matrix whose (3, 3) entry is 0). Among…
In this paper we introduced the concept of a ring of stable range 2 which has square stable range 1. We proved that a Hermitian ring $R$ which has (right) square stable range 1 is an elementary divisor ring if and only if $R$ is a duo ring…
A ring $R$ with an involution * is called (strongly) *-clean if every element of $R$ is the sum of a unit and a projection (that commute). All *-clean rings are clean. Va${\rm \check{s}}$ [L. Va${\rm \check{s}}$, *-Clean rings; some clean…
A unimodular $2\times 2$ matrix with entries in a commutative $R$ is called extendable (resp.\ simply extendable) if it extends to an invertible $3\times 3$ matrix (resp.\ invertible $3\times 3$ matrix whose $(3,3)$ entry is $0$). We obtain…
The Weyl algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$ is a simple ring of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 2, which has a grading by the group of integers. We classify all $\mathbb{Z}$-graded simple rings of GK-dimension 2 and show that they…
An involution $#$ on an associative ring $R$ is \textit{formally real} if a sum of nonzero elements of the form $r^# r$ where $r \in R$ is nonzero. Suppose that $R$ is a central simple algebra (i.e. $R=M_n(D)$ for some integer $n$ and…
The existence of a well-behaved dimension of a finite von Neumann algebra (see [19]) has lead to the study of such a dimension of finite Baer *-rings (see [26]) that satisfy certain *-ring axioms (used in [9]). This dimension is closely…
Given a partial action $\pi$ of an inverse semigroup $S$ on a ring $\mathcal{A}$ one may construct its associated skew inverse semigroup ring $\mathcal{A} \rtimes_\pi S$. Our main result asserts that, when $\mathcal{A}$ is commutative, the…
We reobtain and often refine prior criteria due to Kaplansky, McGovern, Roitman, Shchedryk, Wiegand, and Zabavsky--Bilavska and obtain new criteria for a Hermite ring to be an \textsl{EDR}. We mention three criteria: (1) a Hermite ring $R$…
A commutative ring $R$ is stable provided every ideal of $R$ containing a nonzerodivisor is projective as a module over its ring of endomorphisms. The class of stable rings includes the one-dimensional local Cohen-Macaulay rings of…
The Robinson-Schensted-Knuth (RSK) algorithm maps an integer matrix to a pair of semi-standard Young tableaux (SSYTs) whose underlying shape has the same integer partition. We study the set of matrices associated with a given partition…
Every knot projection is simplified to the trivial spherical curve not increasing double points by using deformations of types 1, 2, and 3 which are analogies of Reidemeister moves of types 1, 2, and 3 on knot diagrams. We introduce RII…
A Gorenstein A-algebra R of codimension 2 is a perfect finite A-algebra such that R=Ext^2(R,A) holds as R-modules, A being a Cohen-Macaulay local ring with dim(A)-dim_A(R)=2. I prove a structure theorem for these algebras improving on an…
In this paper we will investigate commutative rings which have the $\ast $-property. We say that a ring $R$ satisfy $\ast-$property if for any family of ideals $\left\{ I_{\alpha}\right\} _{\alpha\in S}$ of $R$ in which $S$ is an index set,…
We obtain sufficient criteria for simplicity of systems, that is, rings $R$ that are equipped with a family of additive subgroups $R_s$, for $s \in S$, where $S$ is a semigroup, satisfying $R = \sum_{s \in S} R_s$ and $R_s R_t \subseteq…
A question of Conca, Rossi, and Valla asks whether every quadratic Gorenstein ring $R$ of regularity three is Koszul. In a previous paper, we use idealization to answer their question, proving that in nine or more variables there exist…
