In this paper we prove that if $G(R)=G_\pi (\Phi,R)$ $(E(R)=E_{\pi}(\Phi, R))$ is an (elementary) Chevalley group of rank $> 1$, $R$ is a local ring (with $\frac{1}{2}$ for the root systems ${\mathbf A}_2, {\mathbf B}_l, {\mathbf C}_l,…

A ring is called a commutator ring if every element is a sum of additive commutators. In this paper we give examples of such rings. In particular, we show that given any ring R, a right R-module N, and a set X, End_R(\bigoplus_X N) and…

We propose matrix commutator based stability characterization for discrete-time switched linear systems under restricted switching. Given an admissible minimum dwell time, we identify sufficient conditions on subsystems such that a switched…

We show that if the rotation set of a homeomorphism of the torus is stable under small perturbations of the dynamics, then it is a convex polygon with rational vertices. We also show that such homeomorphisms are $C^0$-generic and have…

In this note, we prove that if $(G,V)$ is a prehomogeneous vector space over any field $k$ such that the stabilizer of a generic point is reductive, the set of semi-stable points is a single orbit over the separable closure of $k$.

A ring $R$ is called strongly clean if every element of $R$ is the sum of a unit and an idempotent that commute. By {\rm SRC} factorization, Borooah, Diesl, and Dorsey \cite{BDD051} completely determined when ${\mathbb M}_n(R)$ over a…

A local ring $R$ is called $Z$-local if $J(R) = Z(R)$ and $J(R)^2 = 0$. In this paper the structures of a class of $Z$-local rings are determined.

A commutative ring R is said to be coverable if it is the union of its proper subrings and said to be finitely coverable if it is the union of a finite number of them. In the latter case, we denote by {\sigma}(R) the minimal number of…

An element $a$ of a ring $R$ is called \emph{quasipolar} provided that there exists an idempotent $p\in R$ such that $p\in comm^2(a)$, $a+p\in U(R)$ and $ap\in R^{qnil}$. A ring $R$ is \emph{quasipolar} in case every element in $R$ is…

Fix a poset $P$ and a natural number $n$. For various commutative local rings $\Lambda$, each of Loewy length $n$, consider the category $\textrm{sub}_\Lambda P$ of $\Lambda$-linear submodule representations of $P$. We give a criterion for…

We show that the local-global divisibility in commutative algebraic groups defined over number fields can be tested on sets of primes of arbitrary small density, i.e. stable and persistent sets. We also give a new description of the…

We prove that if R is a principal ideal ring and A\in\M_n(R) is a matrix with trace zero, then A is a commutator, that is, A=XY-YX for some X,Y\in\M_n(R). This generalises the corresponding result over fields due to Albert and Muckenhoupt,…

Let $A$ be a (not necessarily unital) separable non-elementary simple amenable C*-algebra whose tracial basis may not have finite covering dimension and may not be compact but satisfies certain condition (C). We show that $A$ is ${\cal…

A $*$-ring $R$ is called (strongly) $*$-clean if every element of $R$ is the sum of a projection and a unit (which commute with each other). In this note, some properties of $*$-clean rings are considered. In particular, a new class of…

The product matrix of a finite commutative ring $R=\{x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n\}$ and an element $u \in R$ is the matrix $A_u(R)=[a_{ij}]$, where $a_{ij}=1$ if $x_ix_j=u$, and $a_{ij}=0$ otherwise. This provides a natural extension of the concept…

We reobtain and often refine prior criteria due to Kaplansky, McGovern, Roitman, Shchedryk, Wiegand, and Zabavsky--Bilavska and obtain new criteria for a Hermite ring to be an \textsl{EDR}. We mention three criteria: (1) a Hermite ring $R$…

An element $a$ of a ring $R$ is called perfectly clean if there exists an idempotent $e\in comm^2(a)$ such that $a-e\in U(R)$. A ring $R$ is perfectly clean in case every element in $R$ is perfectly clean. In this paper, we investigate…

It is proved that the reduced group C*-algebra C*_{red}(G) has stable rank one (i.e. its group of invertible elements is a dense subset) if G is a discrete group arising as a free product G_1*G_2 where |G_1|>=2 and |G_2|>=3. This follows…

It is shown that a local ring R of bounded module type is an almost maximal valuation ring if there exists a non-maximal prime ideal J such that R/J is a maximal valuation domain.

In this paper, we consider the problem of computing the nearest stable matrix to an unstable one. We propose new algorithms to solve this problem based on a reformulation using linear dissipative Hamiltonian systems: we show that a matrix…
