Hard to summarize concisely; here are the high points. The first two statements below are ring-theoretic; in these R is a nontrivial ring, R^\omega, and \bigoplus_\omega R are the direct product, respectively direct sum, of countably many…

This article deals with two different problems in commutative algebra. In the first part, we give a proof of generalized forms of the Direct Summand Theorem (DST (or DCS)) for module-finite extension rings of mixed characteristic $R\subset…

We study the class of rings $R$ for which every direct sum of injective $R$-modules is cotorsion. We call them weakly $\Sigma$-cotorsion rings. The defining property might be seen as the dual of Chase's characterization of coherence in…

The dissertation focuses on decomposing a group algebra $kG$ over a field of positive characteristic into a direct sum of projective indecomposable modules. Such a decomposition is obtained together with the Artin--Wedderburn Theorem. The…

Recently, in a series of papers "simple" versions of direct-injective and direct-projective modules have been investigated. These modules are termed as "simple-direct-injective" and "simple-direct-projective", respectively. In this paper,…

The output of persistent homology is an algebraic object called a persistence module. This object admits a decomposition into a direct sum of interval persistence modules described entirely by the barcode invariant. In this paper we…

We study the $H_n(0)$-module $\mathbf{S}^\sigma_\alpha$ due to Tewari and van Willigenburg, which was constructed using new combinatorial objects called standard permuted composition tableaux and decomposed into cyclic submodules. First, we…

Let R be a commutative ring with unity, M a module over R and let S be a G-set for a finite group G. We define a set MS to be the set of elements expressed as the formal finite sum of the form similar to the elements of group ring RG. The…

We consider subsemimodules and convex subsets of semimodules over semirings with an idempotent addition. We introduce a nonlinear projection on subsemimodules: the projection of a point is the maximal approximation from below of the point…

In this article, the projectivity of finitely generated flat modules of a commutative ring are studied from a topological point of view. Then various interesting results are obtained. For instance, it is shown that if a ring has either a…

If R is a commutative ring, we prove that every finitely generated module has a pure-composition series with indecomposable factors and any two such series are isomorphic if and only if R is a Bezout ring and a CF-ring.

Let R be an associative ring with unity and let M be an R-module. We call M (ample) Rad-supplementing if M has a (ample) Rad-supplement in every extension. If M is Rad-supplementing, then every direct summand of M is Rad-supplementing, but…

In this paper we show that for a given set of pairwise comaximal ideals $\{X_i\}_{i\in I}$ in a ring $R$ with unity and any right $R$-module $M$ with generating set $Y$ and $C(X_i)=\sum\limits_{k\in\mathbb{N}}\underline{\ell}_M(X_i^{k})$,…

In this note, we give several characterizations of left pure-semisimple in terms of the (pre)envelope, (pre)cover, direct limits, direct sums, inverse limits and direct products properties of pure-projective modules or pure-injective…

By a [$K$-]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 [resp.\ $K$] additive translates of $X$. We prove a structure theorem for finite approximate…

Let $R=C[[t]]$ be the ring of power series over an algebraically closed field $C$ of characteristic zero. We show that each connection on a finite flat $R((x))$-module is the sum of a regular singular connection and a diagonalizable…

Let $R$ be a local ring and let $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module. Appealing to the natural left module structure of $M$ over its endomorphism ring and corresponding center $Z(\operatorname{End}_R(M))$, we study when various…

Let $R$ be a ring. An $R$-module $M$ is said to be a weak $w$-projective module if ${\rm Ext}_R^1(M,N)=0$ for all $N \in \mathcal{P}_{w}^{\dagger_\infty}$ (see, \cite{FLQ}). In this paper, we introduce and study some properties of weak…

This book is an introductory course to basic commutative algebra with a particular emphasis on finitely generated projective modules. We adopt the constructive point of view, with which all existence theorems have an explicit algorithmic…

Summand absorbing submodules are common in modules over (additively) idempotent semirings, for example, in tropical algebra. A submodule $W$ of $V$ is summand absorbing, if $x + y \in W$ implies $x \in W, \; y \in W $ for any $x, y \in V$.…
