In this paper natural necessary and sufficient conditions for quantifier elimination of matrix rings $M_n(K)$ in the language of rings expanded by two unary functions, naming the trace and transposition, are identified. This is used…

We call an algebra $A$ commutator-simple if $[A,A]$ does not contain nonzero ideals of $A$. After providing several examples, we show that in these algebras derivations are determined by a condition that is applicable to the study of local…

Let $A=\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ be the polynomial ring over $\mathbb{F}_q$, and $F$ be the field of fractions of $A$. Let $\phi$ be a Drinfeld $A$-module of rank $r\geq 2$ over $F$. For all but finitely many primes $\mathfrak{p}\lhd A$, one can…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field that is complete with respect to a non-Archimedean absolute value, and let $\varphi\in K(z)$ have degree $d\geq 2$. We characterize maps for which the minimal resultant of an iterate $\varphi^n$ is…

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free $\sigma$-prime ring. It is shown here that if $U\not\subset Z(R)$ is a $\sigma$-Lie ideal of $R$ and $a, b$ in $R$ such that $aUb=\sigma(a)Ub=0,$ then either $a=0$ or $b=0.$ This result is then applied to study…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. We present a relationship between simple-minded systems and coherent rings.

We give a counterexample to a conjecture of D.H. Gottlieb and prove a strengthened version of it. The conjecture says that a map from a finite CW-complex X to an aspherical CW-complex Y with non-zero Euler characteristic can have…

Let N be a left near ring. A map d on N is called a nonzero multiplicative derivation if d(xy)=xd(y)+d(x)y holds for all x,y elements of N.In the present paper, we shall extend some well known results concerning commutativity of prime rings…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity. The prime ideal sum graph of the ring $R$ is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is the set of nonzero proper ideals of $R$ and two distinct vertices $I$ and $J$ are adjacent if and only if…

Guided by the research line introduced by Martindale III in [1] on the study of the additivity of maps, this article aims establish condi- tions on triangular matrix rings in order that an map ' satisfying '(ab + ba) = '(a)b + a'(b) + '(b)a…

We prove that if R is a principal ideal ring and A\in\M_n(R) is a matrix with trace zero, then A is a commutator, that is, A=XY-YX for some X,Y\in\M_n(R). This generalises the corresponding result over fields due to Albert and Muckenhoupt,…

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…

Given a graph whose edges are labeled by ideals in a ring, a generalized spline is a labeling of each vertex by a ring element so that adjacent vertices differ by an element of the ideal associated to the edge. We study splines over the…

In this paper we introduce and study the notion of a graded nil-good ring which is graded by a group. We investigate extensions of graded nil-good rings to graded group rings, Further, we discuss graded matrix ring extensions and trivial…

This work is a review of results about centrally essential rings and semirings. A ring (resp., semiring) is said to be centrally essential if it is either commutative or satisfy the property that for any non-central element $a$, there exist…

Let $B$ be a central simple algebra of degree $n$ over a number field $K$, and $L\subset B$ a strictly maximal subfield. We say that the ring of integers $\mathcal O_L$ is "selective" if there exists an isomorphism class of maximal orders…

A ring is *unit-additive* if a sum of units is always either a unit or nilpotent. For example, $k[X]$ and $k[X]/(X^2)$ are unit-additive, but $\mathbb Z$ is not. We prove a wide-ranging theorem about unit-additivity in semigroup rings,…
