Let $\mathcal R$ be a principal ideal domain and $\mathcal K = {\rm quot}(\mathcal R)$. Assume that $P_1,\ldots P_n\in \mathcal K[X]$ are polynomials which take $\mathcal R$ to $\mathcal R$, and $P$ is their product. If the $P_i$ satisfy…
Let (R,m,k) be an excellent, local, normal ring of characteristic p with a perfect residue field and dim R=d. Let M be a finitely generated R-module. We show that there exists a real number beta(M) such that lambda(M/I^[q]M) = e_{HK}(M) q^d…
Given an integral domain $D$ with quotient field $\mathcal{Q}(D)$, the reciprocal complement of $D$ is the subring $R(D)$ of $\mathcal{Q}(D)$ whose elements are all the sums $\frac{1}{d_1}+\ldots+\frac{1}{d_n} $ for $d_1, \ldots, d_n$…
Let the columns of a $p \times q$ matrix $M$ over any ring be partitioned into $n$ blocks, $M = [M_1, ..., M_n]$. If no $p \times p$ submatrix of $M$ with columns from distinct blocks $M_i$ is invertible, then there is an invertible $p…
We use the moment method of Wood to study the distribution of random finite modules over a countable Dedekind domain with finite quotients, generated by taking cokernels of random $n\times n$ matrices with entries valued in the domain.…
The article presents results on the well-known problem concerning the structure of integer polynomials $p_n(z; x, y)$, which define multiplication laws in $n$-valued groups $\mathbb{G}_n$ over the field of complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$. We…
We study rings $R$ for which whenever non-zero polynomials $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ satisfy $f(x)g(x)f(x)=0$, it implies that there is a non-zero element $r\in R$ such that $f(x)rf(x)=0$. We call such rings inner McCoy rings. We explore some…
We consider the tensor product of modules over the polynomial algebra corresponding to the usual tensor product of linear operators. We present a general description of the representation ring in case the ground field k is perfect. It is…
We provide a sufficient condition for a polynomial ring, not necessarily commutative, to have a first-order definition for the rational integers.
For a division ring $D$, denote by $\mathcal M_D$ the $D$-ring obtained as the completion of the direct limit $\varinjlim_n M_{2^n}(D)$ with respect to the metric induced by its unique rank function. We prove that, for any ultramatricial…
We extend the Ax-Katz theorem for a single polynomial from finite fields to the rings Z_m with m composite. This extension not only yields the analogous result, but gives significantly higher divisibility bounds. We conjecture what computer…
Let $p\in\mathbb Z$ be a prime, $\overline{\mathbb Q_p}$ a fixed algebraic closure of the field of $p$-adic numbers and $\overline{\mathbb Z_p}$ the absolute integral closure of the ring of $p$-adic integers. Given a residually algebraic…
A commutative ring $R$ is stable if every non-zero ideal $I$ of $R$ is projective over its ring of endomorphisms. Motivated by a paper of Bass in the 1960s, stable rings have received wide attention in the literature ever since then. Much…
Let $F$ be a field, $p$ a prime number, $X$ an indeterminate over $F$, $D_n =F[X^{\frac{1}{p^n}}, X^{-\frac{1}{p^n}}]$ for each integer $n \geq 0$ and $D = \bigcup\limits_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}D_n.$ Then $D$ is a one-dimensional B{\'e}zout…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ denote the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements. We prove an estimate for fractional parts of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ satisfying a certain divisibility condition…
A number field $K$ is called \emph{monogenic} if its ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}_K$ can be expressed as a simple ring extension $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]$ for some $\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}_K$. A monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$…
We study representation of square-free polynomials in the polynomial ring F[t] over a finite field F by polynomials in F[t][x]. This is a function field version of the well-studied problem of representing squarefree integers by integer…
For certain polynomials we relate the number of roots inside the unit circle with the index of a non-degenerate isolated umbilic point on a real analytic surface in Euclidean 3-space. In particular, for $N>0$ we prove that for a certain…
Let $R$ be a polynomial ring in $N$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$ and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ generated by $n$ polynomials of degree at most 2. We show that there is a bound on the projective dimension of $R/I$ that depends only…
Let $R$ be a finite non-commutative ring with $1\ne 0$. By a polynomial function on $R$, we mean a function $F\colon R\longrightarrow R$ induced by a polynomial $f=\sum\limits_{i=0}^{n}a_ix^i\in R[x]$ via right substitution of the variable…
