For a number field $K$, we extend the notion of the ring class field of an order in $K$ [C. Lv and Y. Deng, SciChina. Math., 2015] to that of an arbitrary number ring in $K$. We give both ideal-theoretic and idele-theoretic description of…
A semiring generalises the notion of a ring, replacing the additive abelian group structure with that of a commutative monoid. In this paper, we study a notion positioned between a ring and a semiring -- a semiring whose additive monoid is…
We develop almost ring theory, which is a domain of mathematics somewhere halfway between ring theory and category theory (whence the difficulty of finding appropriate MSC-class numbers). We apply this theory to valuation theory and to…
In this paper we characterize left(right) ideals, bi-ideals and quasi-ideals of an ordered semigroup by an index $m$ and give some important interplays between these ideals. The concept of m-regularity of an ordered semigroups has been…
Let $R$ be an order in an algebraic number field. If $R$ is a principal order, then many explicit results on its arithmetic are available. Among others, $R$ is half-factorial if and only if the class group of $R$ has at most two elements.…
The paper studies some properties of the ring of integer-valued quasi-polynomials. On this ring, theory of generalized Euclidean division and generalized GCD are presented. Applications to finite simple continued fraction expansion and…
In this paper, we are mainly interested in the two questions "which are the commutative rings on which every finitely presented modules is [Formula: see text]-periodic (respectively, [Formula: see text]-periodic)?". It is proved that these…
We generalize the concept of a field by allowing addition to be a partial operation. We show that elements of such a "partially additive field" share many similarities with physical quantities. In particular, they form subsets of mutually…
Finite quasi semimetrics on $n$ can be thought of as nonnegative valuations on the edges of a complete directed graph on $n$ vertices satisfying all possible triangle inequalities. They comprise a polyhedral cone whose symmetry groups were…
We investigate classifications of quasitrivial semigroups defined by certain equivalence relations. The subclass of quasitrivial semigroups that preserve a given total ordering is also investigated. In the special case of finite semigroups,…
A well-ordering principle is a principle of the form: If $X$ is well-ordered then $F(X)$ is well-ordered, where $F$ is some natural operator transforming linear orders into linear orders. Many important subsystems of Second-order Arithmetic…
By reformulating a learning process of a set system L as a game between Teacher (presenter of data) and Learner (updater of the abstract independent set), we define the order type dim L of L to be the order type of the game tree. The theory…
We introduce a ring and a field, generated by a semigroup, and we investigate some of their properties.
From the original PREFACE: The rings of quotients recently introduced by Johnson and Utumi are applied to the ring $C(X)$ of all continuous real-valued functions on a completely regular space $X$. Let $Q(X)$ denote the maximal ring of…
A quasi-order $Q$ induces two natural quasi-orders on $P(Q)$, but if $Q$ is a well-quasi-order, then these quasi-orders need not necessarily be well-quasi-orders. Nevertheless, Goubault-Larrecq showed that moving from a well-quasi-order $Q$…
According to Cantor, a set is a collection into a whole of defined and separate (we shall say distinct) objects. So, a natural question is ``How to treat as `sets' collections of indistinguishable objects?". This is the aim of quasi-set…
The concept of quasiresonance was introduced in connection with inelastic collisions between one atom and a vibro-rotationally excited diatomic molecule. In its original form, the collisions induce {\sl quasiresonant} transfer of energy…
Similar to linear spaces, many examples of quasilinear spaces have a notion of multiplication of the elements. To characterising these examples, in the present paper we generalize the notion of quasilinear spaces and introduce…
We study algebraic, combinatorial and topological properties of the set of preorders on a group, and the set of valuations on a field. We show strong analogies between these two kinds of sets and develop a dictionary for these ones. Among…
In what follows we generalize the notion of a complemented ring to rings that are not necessarily reduced. We then determine how our concepts fit in with other well-known classes of rings.
