We study the algebraic and geometric properties of the integral closure of different rings of functions on a real algebraic variety : the regular functions and the continuous rational functions.

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be an analytically unramified local ring of positive prime characteristic $p.$ For an ideal $I$, let $I^*$ denote its tight closure. We introduce the tight Hilbert function $H^*_I(n)=\ell(R/(I^n)^*)$ and the…

Let $L$ be a restricted Lie algebra over a field of positive characteristic. We prove that the restricted enveloping algebra of $L$ is a principal ideal ring if and only if $L$ is an extension of a finite-dimensional torus by a cyclic…

We establish an inequality involving colengths of the tight closure of ideals of systems of parameters in local rings with some mild conditions. As an application, we prove and refine a result by Goto and Nakamura, conjectured by Watanabe…

We present several naturally occurring classes of spectral spaces using commutative algebra on pointed monoids. For this purpose, our main tools are finite type closure operations and continuous valuations on monoids which we introduce in…

For some class of mappings satisfying upper modular estimates with respect to families of curves, a behavior of the corresponding inverse mappings is investigated. In the terms of prime ends, it is proved that, families of such…

We introduce the notion of semigroup with a tight ideal series and investigate their closures in semitopological semigroups, particularly inverse semigroups with continuous inversion. As a corollary we show that the symmetric inverse…

The F-threshold $c^J(\a)$ of an ideal $\a$ with respect to the ideal $J$ is a positive characteristic invariant obtained by comparing the powers of $\a$ with the Frobenius powers of $J$. We show that under mild assumptions, we can detect…

We describe some basic facts about the weak subintegral closure of ideals in both the algebraic and complex-analytic settings. We focus on the analogy between results on the integral closure of ideals and modules and the weak subintegral…

In this paper we investigate the question of normality for special monomial ideals in a polynomial ring over a field. We first include some expository sections that give the basics on the integral closure of a ideal, the Rees algebra on an…

It is an open question whether tight closure commutes with localization in quotients of a polynomial ring in finitely many variables over a field. Katzman showed that tight closure of ideals in these rings commutes with localization at one…

In the affine fragment of continuous logic, type spaces are compact convex sets. I study some model theoretic properties of extreme types. It is proved that every complete theory $T$ has an extremal model, i.e. a model which realizes only…

We prove that the prime ideals in every class of a number field contain arbitrary large truncated ideal classes.

We investigate formal power series ideals and their relationship to topological rewriting theory. Since commutative formal power series algebras are Zariski rings, their ideals are closed for the adic topology defined by the maximal ideal…

We show that there is a compact topological space carrying a measure which is not a weak* limit of finitely supported measures but is in the sequential closure of the set of such measures. We construct compact spaces with measures of…

This article is a survey of closure operations on ideals in commutative rings, with an emphasis on structural properties and on using tools from one part of the field to analyze structures in another part. The survey is broad enough to…

We address a class of systems for which the solution to an H-infinity optimal control problem can be given on a very simple closed form. In fact, both the control law and optimal performance value are explicitly given. The class of systems…

The supremum of reduction numbers of ideals having principal reductions is expressed in terms of the integral degree, a new invariant of the ring, which is finite provided the ring has finite integral closure. As a consequence, one obtains…

Let $(A,\frak m)$ be an excellent normal local ring with algebraically closed residue class field. Given integrally closed $\frak m$-primary ideals $I\supset J$, we show that there is a composition series between $I$ and $J$, by integrally…

We give conditions for a maximal divisorial ideal to be t-maximal and show with examples that, even in a completely integrally closed domain, maximal divisorial ideals need not be t-maximal.
