In this paper, we introduce a class of quasipolar rings which is a generalization of $J$-quasipolar rings. Let $R$ be a ring with identity. An element $a \in R$ is called {\it $\delta$-quasipolar} if there exists $p^2 = p\in comm^2(a)$ such…
We obtain results describing the behavior of the action of rotation generators on polynomials over a commutative ring. We also explore harmonic polynomials in a purely algebraic setting.
We prove that a semiring multiplicatively generated by its idempotents is commutative and Boolean, if every idempotent in the semiring has an orthogonal complement. We prove that a semiring additively generated by its idempotents is…
We prove that in the graded commutative ring $K_{*}(\mathbb{S})$, all positive degree elements are multiplicatively nilpotent. The analogous statements also hold for $TC_{*}(\mathbb{S};\mathbb{Z}^{\wedge}_p)$ and $K_{*}(\mathbb{Z})$.
For a given point P in the group of K-rational points E(K) of an elliptic curve, we consider the sequence of values (F_1(P),F_2(P),F_3(P),...) of the division polynomials of E at P. If K is a finite field, we prove that the sequence is…
An element of a ring $R$ is strongly $P$-clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and a strongly nilpotent element that commute. A ring $R$ is strongly $P$-clean in case each of its elements is strongly $P$-clean.…
Let G be a finite group, let p be a prime number, and let K be a field of characteristic 0 and k be a field of characteristic p, both large enough. In this note we state explicit formulae for the primitive idempotents of K\otimes pp_k(G),…
We use George Bergman's recent normal form for universally adjoining an inner inverse to show that, for general rings, a nilpotent regular element $x$ need not be unit-regular. This contrasts sharply with the situation for nilpotent regular…
An element $\alpha \in \mathbb {F}_{q^n}$ is normal over $\mathbb {F}_q$ if $\alpha$ and its conjugates $\alpha, \alpha^q, \cdots \alpha^{q^{n-1}}$ form a basis of $\mathbb {F}_{q^n}$ over $\mathbb {F}_q$. Recently, Huczynska, Mullen,…
In this paper, we introduce and study the $S$-versions of several fundamental elements in commutative rings. Specifically, for a commutative ring $R$ with identity and a multiplicative subset $S$, we define and investigate the notions of…
What are all rings $R$ for which $R^*$ (the group of invertible elements of $R$ under multiplication) is an elementary abelian $p$-group? We answer this question for finite-dimensional commutative $k$-algebras, finite commutative rings,…
The behavior of nilpotents can reveal valuable information about the algebra. We give a simple proof of a classic result that a finite ring is commutative if all its nilpotents lie in the center.
We study special idempotents (as described by Bushnell and Kutzko) and split idempotents in the context of module and derived categories for idempotented algebras. We then characterize these concepts for path algebras of quivers.
In this article, the ring of polynomials is studied in a systematic way through the theory of monoid rings. As a consequence, this study provides natural and canonical approaches in order to find easy and rigorous proofs and methods for…
Taking a ring-theoretic perspective as our motivation, the main aim of this series is to establish a comprehensive theory of ideals in commutative quantales with an identity element. This particular article focuses on an examination of…
For a root system R, a field K and an invertible element q in K let U be the associated quantum group, defined via Lusztig's divided powers construction. We study the irreducible characters of this algebra with integral (but not necessarily…
Let g be a simple Lie algebra, with fixed Borel subalgebra b and with Weyl group W. Expanding on previous work of Fan and Stembridge in the simply laced case, this note aims to study the fully commutative elements of W, and their…
The algebras considered in this paper are commutative rings of which the additive group is a finite-dimensional vector space over the field of rational numbers. We present deterministic polynomial-time algorithms that, given such an…
We know that if there are $k$ distinct prime factors of $n \in \mathbb{N}$, then the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$ of integers modulo $n$ has exactly $2^k$ idempotent elements. In this article, we try to describe all the idempotents of $\mathbb{Z}_n$…
In a Coxeter group $W$, an element is fully commutative if any two of its reduced expressions can be linked by a series of commutation of adjacent letters. These elements have particularly nice combinatorial properties, and also index a…
