This semi-expository work covers central aspects of the theory of relative tensor products as developed in Higher Algebra, as well as their application to Koszul duality for algebras in monoidal oo-categories. Part of our goal is to expand…

A well-known result of K\"{o}the and Cohen-Kaplansky states that a commutative ring $R$ has the property that every $R$-module is a direct sum of cyclic modules if and only if $R$ is an Artinian principal ideal ring. This motivated us to…

We give a characterization, in terms of Galois infinite comatrix corings, of the corings that decompose as a direct sum of left comodules which are finitely generated as left modules. Then we show that the associated rational functor is…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring and $\widehat{R}$ its $\mathfrak{m}$-adic completion. We study the problem of determining when a finitely generated $\widehat{R}$-module arises from an $R$-module, i.e., when it is…

The aim of this paper is to study the notions of $\mathcal{A}$-C3 and $\mathcal{A}$-D3 modules for some class $\mathcal{A}$ of right modules. Several characterizations of these modules are provided and used to describe some well-known…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is called (1) $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if $X$ is closed in every topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$ containing $X$ as a discrete subsemigroup, (2) $ideally$ $\mathcal…

This survey article is devoted to the notions of purity, algebraic and $\Sigma$-algebraic compactness, direct sum decompositions, and representation type in the category of modules over a ring. It begins with basic definitions, a brief…

We curry the elementary arithmetic operations of addition and multiplication to give monotone injections on N, and describe & study the inverse monoids that arise from also considering their generalised inverses. This leads to well-known…

In this paper we study commutative rings $R$ whose prime ideals are direct sums of cyclic modules. In the case $R$ is a finite direct product of commutative local rings, the structure of such rings is completely described. In particular, it…

We say that a subring $R_0$ of a ring $R$ is semi-invariant if $R_0$ is the ring of invariants in $R$ under some set of ring endomorphisms of some ring containing $R$. We show that $R_0$ is semi-invariant if and only if there is a ring…

We prove that the module categories of Noether algebras (i.e., algebras module finite over a noetherian center) and affine noetherian PI algebras over a field enjoy the following product property: Whenever a direct product $\prod_{n \in…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate \emph{semicorings} over associative semirings and their categories of \emph{semicomodules.} Our results generalize old and recent results on corings over rings and their categories of comodules.…

Let $\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathbb{N}^p$ be an integer cone. A $\mathcal{C}$-semigroup $S\subseteq \mathcal{C}$ is an affine semigroup such that the set $\mathcal{C}\setminus S$ is finite. Such $\mathcal{C}$-semigroups are central to our…

Given a skeletally small category $\mathcal{C}$, we show that any locally finite endo-length $\mathcal{C}$-module is the direct sum of indecomposable $\mathcal{C}$-modules, whose endomorphism algebra is local.

An associative ring with 1 is said to be semilocal provided it is semisimple artinian modulo its Jacobson radical, that is, modulo its Jacobson radical it is isomorphic to a finite product of matrices over division rings. Modules with a…

Among the finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring R, the semidualizing modules have been singled out due to their particularly nice duality properties. When R is a normal domain, we exhibit a natural inclusion of the set of…

We consider the class $\mathfrak M$ of $\bf R$--modules where $\bf R$ is an associative ring. Let $A$ be a module over a group ring $\bf R$$G$ where $G$ is a group and let $\mathfrak L(G)$ be a set of all proper subgroups of $G$ such that…

We construct new examples of non-nil algebras with any number of generators, which are direct sums of two locally nilpotent subalgebras. As all previously known examples, our examples are contracted semigroup algebras and the underlying…

We study automaton structures, i.e. groups, monoids and semigroups generated by an automaton, which, in this context, means a deterministic finite-state letter-to-letter transducer. Instead of considering only complete automata, we…

Let $R$ be a ring, and consider a left $R$-module given with two (generally infinite) direct sum decompositions, $A\oplus(\bigoplus_{i\in I} C_i)=M=B\oplus(\bigoplus_{j\in J} D_j),$ such that the submodules $A$ and $B$ and the $D_j$ are…
