Let $(R,P)$ be a commutative, local Noetherian ring, $I$, $J$ ideals, $M$ and $N$ finitely generated $R$-modules. Suppose $J + ann_R M + ann_R N$ is $P$-primary. The main result of this paper is Theorem 6, which gives necessary and…

Given a square matrix $A$ with entries in a commutative ring $S$, the ideal of $S[X]$ consisting of polynomials $f$ with $f(A) =0$ is called the null ideal of $A$. Very little is known about null ideals of matrices over general commutative…

Motivated by Carmichael numbers, we say that a finite ring $R$ is a Carmichael ring if $a^{|R|}=a$ for any $a \in R$. We then call an ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ as a Carmichael ideal if $R/I$ is a Carmichael ring, and a Carmichael element of…

(1) Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be complete Noetherian local ring of dimension $d$ and let $P$ be a prime ideal with $G_P(A) = \bigoplus_{n \geq 0}P^n/P^{n+1}$ a domain. Fix $r \geq 1$. If $J$ is a homogeneous ideal of $G_{P^r}(A)$ with…

This paper gives an elementary proof of an improved version of the algebraic Local B\'ezout Theorem (given by the authors in JSC 45 (2010) 975--985). Here we remove some ad hoc hypotheses and obtain an optimal algebraic version of the…

In this paper we define and explore properties of mixed multiplicities of (not necessarily Noetherian) filtrations of $m_R$-primary ideals in a Noetherian local ring $R$, generalizing the classical theory for $m_R$-primary ideals. We…

Irreducible decompositions of monomial ideals in polynomial rings over a field are well-understood. In this paper, we investigate decompositions in the set of monomial ideals in the semigroup ring A[\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^d] where A is an…

Let $z_1, \dots, z_m$ be $m$ distinct complex numbers, normalized to $|z_k| = 1$, and consider the polynomial $$ p_{m}(z) = \prod_{k=1}^{m}{(z-z_k)}.$$ We define a sequence of polynomials in a greedy fashion, $$ p_{N+1}(z) = p_{N}(z)…

We prove an assortment of results on (commutative and unital) NIP rings, especially $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebras. Let $R$ be a NIP ring. Then every prime ideal or radical ideal of $R$ is externally definable, and every localization $S^{-1}R$ is…

Let $R$ be a local principal ideal ring of length two, for example, the ring $R=\Z/p^2\Z$ with $p$ prime. In this paper we develop a theory of normal forms for similarity classes in the matrix rings $M_n(R)$ by interpreting them in terms of…

We investigate non-unique factorization of polynomials in Z_{p^n}[x] into irreducibles. As a Noetherian ring whose zero-divisors are contained in the Jacobson radical, Z_{p^n}[x] is atomic. We reduce the question of factoring arbitrary…
