We first introduce and study the notion of semi-regular flat modules, and then show that a ring $R$ is a strong \Prufer\ ring if and only if every submodule of a semi-regular flat $R$-module is semi-regular flat, if and only if every ideal…

The coincidence of the set of all nilpotent elements of a ring with its prime radical has a module analogue which occurs when the zero submodule satisfies the radical formula. A ring $R$ is 2-primal if the set of all nilpotent elements of…

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring. We prove that the class of modules of projective dimension bounded by $k$ is of finite type if and only if $R$ satisfies Serre's condition $(S_k)$. In particular, this answers positively a question…

In this paper, we study rings having the property that every right ideal is automorphism-invariant. Such rings are called right $a$-rings. It is shown that (1) a right $a$-ring is a direct sum of a square-full semisimple artinian ring and a…

In this paper we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for strongly group graded rings to be simple. For a strongly group graded ring $R = \bigoplus_{g\in G} R_g$ the grading group $G$ acts, in a natural way, as automorphisms of the…

In this paper a simple right R-module S over a ring R is called hypersimple if its injective hull E(S) is cyclic, and a ring R is called right hypersimple if every simple right R-module is hypersimple. We initiate a study of these new…

An $R$-module $M$ is Hopfian (co-Hopfian) if any epic (monic) endomorphism of $M$ is an automorphism. If $R$ is commutative Noetherian, we characterize the co-Hopfian injective $R$-modules, and the Hopfian injectives in the case that $R$ is…

Consider a reductive linear algebraic group $G$ acting linearly on a polynomial ring $S$ over an infinite field; key examples are the general linear group, the symplectic group, the orthogonal group, and the special linear group, with the…

A ring R satisfies the Generalized Auslander-Reiten Condition if any R-module M with no self-extensions in degrees higher than m must have projective dimension at most m. We prove that this condition is satisfied by all n-symmetric algebras…

In this paper all rings are commutative. We prove some new results on flat epimorphisms of rings and pointwise localizations. Especially among them, it is proved that a ring $R$ is an absolutely flat (von-Neumann regular) ring if and only…

We use the type theory for rings of operators due to Kaplansky to describe the structure of modules that are invariant under automorphisms of their injective envelopes. Also, we highlight the importance of Boolean rings in the study of such…

We use the concept of a regular object with respect to another object in an arbitrary category, defined in \cite{dntd}, in order to obtain the transfer of regularity in the sense of Zelmanowitz between the categories $R-$mod and $S-$mod,…

Let M, N be free modules over a Noetherian commutative ring R and let F be a field such that card(F) does not exceed the continuum. Then : (1) The assertion that [Any two F-vector spaces with isomorphic duals are isomorphic] is equivallent…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field. We construct examples of regular local $k$-algebras $R$ (of positive dimension) for which the ring of differential operators $D_k(R)$ is trivial in the sense that it contains {\it no} operators of positive…

Let R be a ring with identity, (M;\leq) a commutative positive strictly ordered monoid and w_m an automorphism for each m \in M . The skew generalized power series ring R[[M,w]] is a common generalization of (skew) polynomial rings, (skew)…

Let $D$ be a finite-dimensional division algebra over its center and $R=D[t;\sigma,\delta]$ a skew polynomial ring. Under certain assumptions on $\delta$ and $\sigma$, the ring of central quotients $D(t;\sigma,\delta) = \{f/g \,|\, f \in…

Idealization of a module $K$ over a commutative ring $S$ produces a ring having $K$ as an ideal, all of whose elements are nilpotent. We develop a method that under suitable field-theoretic conditions produces from an $S$-module $K$ and…

Let $M$ be a module. A {\em $\delta$-cover} of $M$ is an epimorphism from a module $F$ onto $M$ with a $\delta$-small kernel. A $\delta$-cover is said to be a {\em flat $\delta$-cover} in case $F$ is a flat module. In the present paper, we…

Let V be a normal affine variety over the real numbers R, and let S be a semi-algebraic subset of V(R). We study the subring B(S) of the coordinate ring of V consisting of the polynomials that are bounded on S. We introduce the notion of…

We prove the following theorem: let $A$ be a UCT Kirchberg algebra, and let $\alpha$ be a prime-order automorphism of $K_*(A)$, with $\alpha([1_A])=[1_A]$ in case $A$ is unital. Then $\alpha$ is induced from an automorphism of $A$ having…
