We prove that for finitely generated abelian groups $A$ and $B$, the space of $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-ring maps between the spherical groups rings $\mathbb{S}[A] \to \mathbb{S}[B]$ is equivalent to the discrete set of group homomorphisms $A \to…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an analytically un-ramified Noetherian local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$, $I$ a regular $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal of $A$ and let $\overline{I}$ be integral closure ideal of $I$. If $A$ is of characteristic $p >…

Let $R=\oplus_{m\geq 0}R_m$ be a standard graded equidimensional ring over a field $R_0$, and $I\subseteq J$ be two non-nilpotent graded ideals in $R$. Then we give a set of numerical characterizations of the integral dependence of $I$ and…

We study the almost complete intersection ring $R$ defined by $n+1$ general quadrics in a polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $\sf{k}$ and a corresponding linked Gorenstein ring $A$. The overarching theme is that, while not Koszul…

A ring is clean (almost clean) if each of its elements is the sum of a unit (regular element) and an idempotent. A module is clean (almost clean) if its endomorphism ring is clean (almost clean). We show that every quasi-continuous and…

The degree of a map between orientable manifolds is a fundamental concept in topology, offering deep insights into the structure of the manifolds and the nature of the corresponding maps. This concept has been extensively studied,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$. Let $R\Join I$ be the subring of $R\times R$ consisting of the elements $(r,r+i)$ for $r\in R$ and $i\in I$. We study the diameter and girth of the zero-divisor…

Endomorphism rings of modules appear as the center of a ring, as the fix ring of ring with group action or as the subring of constants of a derivation. This note discusses the question whether certain *-prime modules (introduced by Bican et…

We prove that the arithmetic degree of a graded or local ring is bounded above by the arithmetic degree of any of its associated graded rings with respect to ideals $I$ in $A$. In particular, if $Spec (A)$ is equidimensional and has an…

We introduce the simple extension complexity of a polytope P as the smallest number of facets of any simple (i.e., non-degenerate in the sense of linear programming) polytope which can be projected onto P. We devise a combinatorial method…

This study explores in-depth the structure and properties of the so-called {\it strongly $\Delta$-clean rings}, that is a novel class of rings in which each ring element decomposes into a sum of a commuting idempotent and an element from…

By studying periodic points for rational maps on $\bm{C}^d$ with $p$ invariants, we show that they form an invariant variety of dimension $p$ if the periodicity conditions are `fully correlated', and a set of isolated points if the…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian d-dimensional complete equicharacterisitc regular local ring and let I be an ideal of R such that every minimal prime over I has height at most c. Let v=d - [(d-2)/c]-1 and v'=d - [(d-1)/c]. It has been…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity and let $N$ be a nil ideal of $R$. It is shown that units of $R/N$ can be lifted to units in $R$. Under some mild conditions on the ring, a procedure is given to determine those lifted units in a…

Let X be a normal projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. We study the sequence of intermediate degrees of the iterates of a dominant rational selfmap of X, recovering former results by…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and $B$ a commutative integral domain that is also a finitely generated $k$-algebra. It is well known that if $k$ is algebraically closed and the "Field Makar-Limanov" invariant FML$(B)$ is equal to…

In this paper, we consider the N-pure notion. An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is said to be N-pure, if for every $a\in I$ there exists $b\in I$ such that $a(1-b)\in N(R)$, where N(R) is nil radical of $R$. We provide new characterizations for…

Let X be a minimal complex surface of general type such that its image via the canonical map is a surface; we denote by d the degree of the canonical map. In this expository work, first of all we recall the known possibilities for the…

We extend the classical notion of standardly stratified $k$-algebra (stated for finite dimensional $k$-algebras) to the more general class of rings, possibly without $1,$ with enough idempotents. We show that many of the fundamental…

Nonlinear approximation from regular piecewise polynomials (splines) of degree $<k$ supported on rings in $\R^2$ is studied. By definition a ring is a set in $\R^2$ obtained by subtracting a compact convex set with polygonal boundary from…
