We attach a ring of sequences to each number from a certain class of extremal real numbers, and we study the properties of this ring both from an analytic point of view by exhibiting elements with specific behaviors, and also from an…
We give a complete description of finitely generated modules over artin algebras which are not the middle of a short chain of modules, using injective and tilting modules over hereditary artin algebras.
Foxby defined the (Krull) dimension of a complex of modules over a commutative Noetherian ring in terms of the dimension of its homology modules. In this note it is proved that the dimension of a bounded complex of free modules of finite…
The set of the first Hilbert coefficients of parameter ideals relative to a module--its Chern coefficients--over a local Noetherian ring codes for considerable information about its structure--noteworthy properties such as that of…
We set up some basic module theory over semirings, with particular attention to what is needed in scheme theory over semirings. We show that while not all the usual definitions of vector bundle agree over semirings, all the usual…
We investigate the similarities between adic finiteness and homological finiteness for chain complexes over a commutative noetherian ring. In particular, we extend the isomorphism properties of certain natural morphisms from homologically…
The Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a module gives a rough measure of its complexity. We bound the regularity of a module given a system of approximating modules whose regularities are known. Such approximations can arise naturally for…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $\Gamma$ be an infinite discrete group. The algebraic $K$-theory of the group ring $R[\Gamma]$ is an important object of computation in geometric topology and number theory. When the group ring is…
A causal set is a partially ordered set on a countably infinite ground-set such that each element is above finitely many others. A natural extension of a causal set is an enumeration of its elements which respects the order. We bring…
Different and distinct notions of regularity for modules exist in the literature. When these notions are restricted to commutative rings, they all coincide with the well-known von-Neumann regularity for rings. We give new characterizations…
The Mitsch order is already known as a natural partial order for semigroups and rings. The purpose of this paper is to further study of the Mitsch order on modules by investigating basic properties via endomorphism rings. And so this study…
Our goal is to show that the standard model-theoretic concept of types can be applied in the study of order-invariant properties, i.e., properties definable in a logic in the presence of an auxiliary order relation, but not actually…
We present an algebraic theory of orthogonal polynomials in several variables that includes classical orthogonal polynomials as a special case. Our bottom line is a straightforward connection between apolarity of binary forms and the inner…
Let R be a commutative Noetherian domain, and let M and N be finitely generated R-modules. We give new criteria for determining when M tensor N has torsion. We also give constructive formulas for producing a module in the isomorphism class…
We consider the termination/non-termination property of a class of loops. Such loops are commonly used abstractions of real program pieces. Second-order logic is a convenient language to express non-termination. Of course, such property is…
Let k be a perfect field and A a finite dimensional k-algebra of finite global dimension (e.g. the path algebra of a finite quiver without oriented cycles). Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the value…
The primary goal of this paper is to investigate the structure of irreducible monomorphisms to and irreducible epimorphisms from finitely generated free modules over a noetherian local ring. Then we show that over such a ring,…
We study primary submodules and primary decompositions from a differential and computational point of view. Our main theoretical contribution is a general structure theory and a representation theorem for primary submodules of an arbitrary…
We construct a family of rings. To a plane diagram of a tangle we associate a complex of bimodules over these rings. Chain homotopy equivalence class of this complex is an invariant of the tangle. On the level of Grothendieck groups this…
We investigate the construction of $\pm1$-valued completely multiplicative functions that take the value $+1$ at at most $k$ consecutive integers, which we call length-$k$ functions. We introduce a way to extend the length based on the idea…
