By an approximate subring of a ring we mean an additively symmetric subset $X$ such that $X\cdot X \cup (X +X)$ is covered by finitely many additive translates of $X$. We prove that each approximate subring $X$ of a ring has a locally…
Terwilliger algebras are a subalgebra of a matrix algebra constructed from an association scheme. In 2010, Tanaka defined what it means for a Terwilliger algebra to be almost commutative and gave five equivalent conditions for a Terwilliger…
We investigate the notion of \textit{semi-nil clean} rings, defined as those rings in which each element can be expressed as a sum of a periodic and a nilpotent element. Among our results, we show that if $R$ is a semi-nil clean NI ring,…
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…
Generally, in any human field, a Smarandache Structure on a set A means a weak structure W on A such that there exists a proper subset B contained in A which is embedded with a stronger structure S. These types of structures occur in our…
In this paper, new and significant advances on the understanding the structure of p.p. rings and their generalizations have been made. Especially among them, it is proved that a commutative ring $R$ is a generalized p.p. ring if and only if…
It is known that toric ring of a simple polyomino is ring homomorphic to a edge ring of a weakly chordal bipartite graph. In this paper we identify the toric ring of nonsimple polyominoes which are of the form "rectangle minus rectangle".
{Generalizing the notion of nil cleanness from \cite{D13}, in parallel to \cite{DM14}, we define the concept of {\it weak nil cleanness} for an arbitrary ring. Its comprehensive study in different ways is provided as well. A decomposition…
An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is called left N-reflexive if for any $a\in$ nil$(R)$, $b\in R$, being $aRb \subseteq I$ implies $bRa \subseteq I$ where nil$(R)$ is the set of all nilpotent elements of $R$. The ring $R$ is called left…
For $a\in R$, let $P_a$ denote the intersection of all minimal prime ideals of $R$ containing $a$. An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is called a $z^{\circ}$-ideal if $P_a\subseteq I$ for all $a\in I$. In this paper, we first investigate the class…
In this paper, we study approximate Hadamard matrices, that is, well-conditioned $n\times n$ matrices with all entries in $\{\pm1\}$. We show that the smallest-possible condition number goes to $1$ as $n\to\infty$, and we identify some…
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 $R$ is (strongly) 2-nil-clean if every element in $R$ is the sum of two idempotents and a nilpotent (that commute). Fundamental properties of such rings are discussed. Let $R$ be a 2-primal ring. If $R$ is strongly 2-nil-clean, we…
We study relatively minimal subgroups in topological groups. We find, in particular, some natural relatively minimal subgroups in unipotent groups which are defined over "good" rings. By "good" rings we mean archimedean absolute valued (not…
We provide a characterization of one-dimensional almost Gorenstein rings in terms of the trace ideal. As an application, we investigate the almost Gorenstein property of certain $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded rings.
We show that almost commuting real orthogonal matrices are uniformly close to exactly commuting real orthogonal matrices. We prove the same for symplectic unitary matrices. This is in contrast to the general complex case, where not all…
We give a criterion for almost Gorenstein property for semigroup rings associated with simplicial semigroups. We extend Nari's theorem for almost symmetric numerical semigroups to simplicial semigroups with higher rank. By this criterion,…
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 define the notion of an almost polynomial identity of an associative algebra $R$, and show that its existence implies the existence of an actual polynomial identity of $R$. A similar result is also obtained for Lie algebras and Jordan…
The notion of almost Gorenstein ring given by Barucci and Fr{\"o}berg \cite{BF} in the case where the local rings are analytically unramified is generalized, so that it works well also in the case where the rings are analytically ramified.…
