We explicitly describe the divisor class groups and semidualizing modules for ladder determinantal rings with coefficients in an arbitrary normal domain for arbitrary ladders, not necessarily connected, and all sizes of minors.
Every reduced ring $R$ has a natural partial order defined by $a\le b$ if $a^2=ab$; it generalizes the natural order on a boolean ring. The article examines when $R$ is a lower semi-lattice in this order with examples drawn from weakly Baer…
We introduce the class E2 (resp. SE2) of commutative rings R with the property that each unimodular 2 x 2 matrix with entries in R extends to an invertible 3 x 3 matrix (resp. invertible 3 x 3 matrix whose (3, 3) entry is 0). Among…
Given a certain factorization property of a ring $R$, we can ask if this property extends to the polynomial ring over $R$ or vice versa. For example, it is well known that $R$ is a unique factorization domain if and only if $R[X]$ is a…
A commutative ring is reduced when it can be embedded into a direct product of fields. While the category of reduced commutative rings plays a fundamental role in affine geometry, it exhibits several structural deficiencies: it admits…
The set of minimal primes of a ring is a very important set as far the spectrum of a ring is concerned as every prime contains a minimal prime. So, knowing the minimal primes is the first (important and difficult) step in describing the…
Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring, $a\in R$ and $t$ a positive integer. $a^{t}$-reduced $R$-modules and universally $a^{t}$-reduced $R$-modules are defined and their properties given. Known (resp. new) results about reduced $R$-modules…
In this paper we introduced the concept of a ring of stable range 2 which has square stable range 1. We proved that a Hermitian ring $R$ which has (right) square stable range 1 is an elementary divisor ring if and only if $R$ is a duo ring…
It is proved that the localization of an injective module E, over a valuation ring R, at a prime ideal J, is injective if J is not the subset of zero-divisors of R or if J or E is flat. It follows that localizations of injective modules…
We study the distribution of singular and unimodular matrices in sumsets in matrix rings over finite fields. We apply these results to estimate the largest prime divisor of the determinants in sumsets in matrix rings over the integers.
We describe a method for solving linear systems over the localization of a commutative ring $R$ at a multiplicatively closed subset $S$ that works under the following hypotheses: the ring $R$ is coherent, i.e., we can compute finite…
Let $f:A\lo B$ be a ring homomorphism and let $J$ be an ideal of $B.$ In this paper, we investigate the transfer of notions elementary divisor ring, Hermite ring and B\'ezout ring to the amalgamation $A\bowtie^fJ.$ We provide necessary and…
We survey results on factorizations of non zero-divisors into atoms (irreducible elements) in noncommutative rings. The point of view in this survey is motivated by the commutative theory of non-unique factorizations. Topics covered include…
We introduce a general reduction strategy that enables one to search for solutions of parameterized linear difference equations in difference rings. Here we assume that the ring itself can be decomposed by a direct sum of integral domains…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The ring $R\times R$ can be viewed as an extension of $R$ via the diagonal map $\Delta: R \hookrightarrow R\times R$, given by $\Delta(r) = (r, r)$ for all $r\in R$. It is shown that, for any $a,…
We give a constructive proof that $R[X]$ is normal when $R$ is normal. We apply this result to an operation needed for studying the henselization of a local ring. Our proof is based on the case where $R$ is without zero divisors, which is…
In 1994, Sule presented the necessary and sufficient conditions of the feedback stabilizability of systems over unique factorization domains in terms of elementary factors and in terms of reduced minors. Recently, Mori and Abe have…
We call a ring R pointwise semicommutative if for any element a in R either l(a) or r(a) is an ideal of R. A class of pointwise semicommutative rings is a strict generalization of semicommutative rings. Since reduced rings are pointwise…
Matrices are typically considered over fields or rings. Motivated by applications in parametric differential equations and data-driven modeling, we suggest to study matrices with entries from a Hilbert space and present an elementary theory…
This paper introduces a framework to study discrete optimization problems which are parametric in the following sense: their constraint matrices correspond to matrices over the ring $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of polynomials in one variable. We…
