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…
In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of rings calling them {\it weakly $\Delta U$-rings}, hereafter abbreviated as {\it $W\Delta U$-rings} for short. A ring $R$ is said to be $W\Delta U$ if every unit of $R$ can be expressed as…
An elementary proof of the two-sidedness of the matrix-inverse is given using only linear independence and the reduced row-echelon form of a matrix. In addition, it is shown that a matrix is invertible if and only if it is row-equivalent to…
Define a subset of the complex plane to be a Rolle's domain if it contains (at least) one critical point of every complex polynomial P such that P(-1)=P(1). Define a Rolle's domain to be minimal if no proper subset is a Rolle's domain. In…
The reduced divisor class group of a normal Cohen--Macaulay graded domain together with its torsion number is introduced. They are studied in detail especially for normal affine semigroup rings.
We extend the Bass-Matlis characterization of local Noetherian divisorial domains to the non-Noetherian case. This result is then used to study the following question: If a domain D is w-divisorial, that is, if each w-ideal of D is…
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…
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…
We consider the smallest subring $D$ of $\mathbb{R}(X)$ containing every element of the form $1/(1+x^2)$, with $x\in \mathbb{R}(X)$. $D$ is a Pr\"ufer domain called the minimal Dress ring of $\mathbb{R}(X)$. In this paper, addressing a…
A ring is *unit-additive* if a sum of units is always either a unit or nilpotent. For example, $k[X]$ and $k[X]/(X^2)$ are unit-additive, but $\mathbb Z$ is not. We prove a wide-ranging theorem about unit-additivity in semigroup rings,…
Given three lists of ideals of a Dedekind domain, the question is raised, whether there exist two matrices A and B with entries in the given Dedekind domain, such that the given lists of ideals are the determinantal divisors of A, B, and…
We give an elementary proof of a result which is not as well known as it should be: a ring with a specified finite number of zero divisors is finite, with a precise bound on its order.
We define pullback and separated presentations of modules over pullback rings, and, if the ring is a pullback of epimorphisms over a semisimple ring, an algorithm reducing such a presentation of a module to an $R$-diagram. The latter is the…
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…
The fundamental theorem of symmetric polynomials over rings is a classical result which states that every unital commutative ring is fully elementary, i.e. we can express symmetric polynomials with elementary ones in a unique way. The…
The minus partial order is already known for sets of matrices over a field and bounded linear operators on arbitrary Hilbert spaces. Recently, this partial order has been studied on Rickart rings. In this paper, we extend the concept of the…
Let H_q(S_n) be the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group. This algebra is semisimple over the rational function field Q(q), where q is an indeterminate, and its irreducible representations over this field are q-analogues S_q(lambda)…
We extend to rings with zero-divisors the concept of perinormal domain introduced by N. Epstein and J. Shapiro. A ring $A$ is called perinormal if every overring of $A$ which satisfies going down over $A$ is $A$-flat. The Pr\"ufer rings and…
In this article, we compile the work done by various mathematicians on the topic of the fixed divisor of a polynomial. This article explains most of the results concisely and is intended to be an exhaustive survey. We present the results on…
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…
