Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $E$ the minimal injective cogenerator of the category of $R$-modules. An $R$-module $M$ is (Matlis) reflexive if the natural evaluation map $M \to…

Among the finitely generated modules over a Noetherian ring R, the semidualizing modules have been singled out due to their particularly nice duality properties. When R is a normal domain, we exhibit a natural inclusion of the set of…

We determine the commutant of homogeneous subrings in strongly groupoid graded rings in terms of an action on the ring induced by the grading. Thereby we generalize a classical result of Miyashita from the group graded case to the groupoid…

It has been shown by McCoy that a right ideal of a polynomial ring with several indeterminates has a non-trivial homogeneous right annihilator of degree 0 provided its right annihilator is non-trivial to begin with. In this note, it is…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian Cohen-Macaulay local ring that has positive dimension and prime characteristic. Li proved that the tensor product of a finitely generated non-free $R$-module $M$ with the Frobenius endomorphism…

Let T be a Hom-finite triangulated Krull-Schmidt category over a field k. Inspired by a definition of Koenig and Liu, we say that a family S of pairwise orthogonal objects in T with trivial endomorphism rings is a simple-minded system if…

In this paper, we introduce and study the concept of CS-Rickart modules, that is a module analogue of the concept of ACS rings. A ring $R$ is called a right weakly semihereditary ring if every its finitly generated right ideal is of the…

We give counterexamples to the following conjecture of Auslander: given a finitely generated module $M$ over an Artin algebra $\Lambda$, there exists a positive integer $n_M$ such that for all finitely generated $\Lambda$-modules $N$, if…

A ring $R$ is said to be i-reversible if for every $a,b$ $\in$ $R$, $ab$ is a non-zero idempotent implies $ba$ is an idempotent. It is known that the rings $M_n(R)$ and $T_n(R)$ (the ring of all upper triangular matrices over $R$) are not…

In this article we investigate when a homogeneous ideal in a graded ring is normal, that is, when all positive powers of the ideal are integrally closed. We are particularly interested in homogeneous ideals in an N-graded ring generated by…

Let R be a ring (not necessarily with 1) and G be a finite group of automorphisms of R. The set B(R, G) of primes p such that p | |G| and R is not p-torsion free, is called the set of bad primes. When the ring is |G|-torsion free, i.e.,…

We prove that for a countable, commutative ring $R$, the class of countable $R$-modules either has only countably many isomorphism types, or else it is Borel complete. The machinery gives a succinct proof of the Borel completeness of TFAB,…

We introduce a new numerical invariant $\gamma_I(M)$ associated to a finite-length $R$-module $M$ and an ideal $I$ in an Artinian local ring $R$. This invariant measures the ratio between $\lambda(IM)$ and $\lambda(M/IM)$. We establish…

It is well known that the full matrix ring over a skew-field is a simple ring. We generalize this theorem to the case of semirings. We characterize the case when the matrix semiring $\mathbf{M}_n(S)$, of all $n\times n$ matrices over a…

In this paper we introduce the concept of purely infinite rings, which in the simple case agrees with the already existing notion of pure infiniteness. We establish various permanence properties of this notion, with respect to passage to…

Given finitely generated modules $M$ and $N$ over a local ring $R$, the tensor product $M\otimes_RN$ typically has nonzero torsion. Indeed, the assumption that the tensor product is torsion-free influences the structure and vanishing of the…

Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring with unity $1_R$ and $k \in R$. Properties of one-sided $k$-orthogonal $n \times n$ matrices over $R$ are presented. When $k$ is idempotent, these matrices form a semigroup structure. Consequently new…

For four wide classes of topological rings $\mathfrak R$, we show that all flat left $\mathfrak R$-contramodules have projective covers if and only if all flat left $\mathfrak R$-contramodules are projective if and only if all left…

Let A be a connected left artinian ring with radical square zero and with n simple modules. If A is not self-injective, then we show that any module M with Ext^i(M,A) = 0 for 1 \le i \le n + 1 is projective. We also determine the structure…

Conditions on the Koszul complex of a noetherian local ring $R$ guarantee that $\mathrm{Tor}^{R}_{i}(M,N)$ is non-zero for infinitely many $i$, when $M$ and $N$ are finitely generated $R$-modules of infinite projective dimension. These…
