Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $\Gamma$ be an infinite discrete group. The algebraic $K$-theory of the group ring $R[\Gamma]$ is an important object of computation in geometric topology and number theory. When the group ring is…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. It is shown that $R$ is Artinian if and only if every $R$-module is good, if and only if every $R$-module is representable. As a result, it follows that every nonzero submodule of any representable…

We address partition regularity problems for homogeneous quadratic equations. A consequence of our main results is that, under natural conditions on the coefficients $a,b,c$, for any finite coloring of the positive integers, there exists a…

Bertin (1972) defined regularity for coherent local rings, and Knaf (2004) studied the property for a local ring $A$ essentially finitely presented over a valuation ring $V$. We discuss several properties of this notion of regularity for…

In this paper we prove Holder regularity of the derivative of radial solutions to fully nonlinear equations when the operator is hessian, homogenous of degree 1 in the Hessian, homogenous of some degree $\alpha>-1$ in the gradient and which…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. We give criteria for flatness of $R$-modules in terms of associated primes and torsion-freeness of certain tensor products. This allows us to develop a criterion for regularity if $R$ has…

A finite or infinite matrix $A$ is image partition regular provided that whenever $\mathbb N$ is finitely colored, there must be some $\vec{x}$ with entries from $\mathbb N$ such that all entries of $A\vec{x}$ are in some color class. In…

Let $\xx= x_1,\ldots,x_r$ denote a system of elements of a commutative ring $R$. For an $R$-module $M$ we investigate when $\xx$ is $M$-pro-regular resp. $M$-weakly pro-regular as generalizations of $M$-regular sequences. This is done in…

We say that a list $\Lambda =\{ \lambda _{1},\ldots ,\lambda _{n}\}$ of complex numbers is realizable, if it is the spectrum of a nonnegative matrix $A$ (the realizing matrix). We say that $\Lambda $ is universally realizable if it is…

We study the copolynomials of $n$ variables, i.e. $K$-linear mappings from the ring of polynomials $K[x_1,...,x_n]$ into the commutative ring $K$. We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for a linear differential equation of infinite…

A finitely generated module C over a commutative noetherian ring R is semidualizing if Hom_R(C,C) \cong R and Ext^i_R(C,C) = 0 for all i \geq 1. For certain local Cohen-Macaulay rings (R,m), we verify the equality of Hilbert-Samuel…

We study how the properties of being reduced, integral domain, and normal, behave under small perturbations of the defining equations of a noetherian local ring. It is not hard to show that the property of being a local integral domain…

We consider the question of determining whether or not a given system of fractional-order differential equations is (asymptotically) stable. In particular, we admit systems where each constituent equation may have its own order, independent…

We show that the algebraic K-theory of semi-valuation rings with stably coherent regular semi-fraction ring satisfies homotopy invariance. Moreover, we show that these rings are regular if their valuation is non-trivial. Thus they yield…

In this paper, we prove an extension of Zaks' conjecture on integral domains with semi-regular proper homomorphic images (with respect to finitely generated ideals) to arbitrary rings (i.e., possibly with zero-divisors). The main result…

We show that several sets of interest arising from the study of partition regularity and density Ramsey theory of polynomial equations over integral domains are undecidable. In particular, we show that the set of homogeneous polynomials $p…

Let A and B be integral domains. Suppose A is Noetherian and B is a finitely generated A-algebra that contains A. Denote by A' the integral closure of A in B. We show that A' is determined by finitely many unique discrete valuation rings.…

In this paper we consider a linear homogeneous system of $m$ equations in $n$ unknowns with integer coefficients over the reals. Assume that the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients of each equation does not exceed $k+1$ for some…

We study the homogeneous coordinate rings of real multiplication noncommutative tori as defined by A. Polishchuk. Our aim is to understand how these rings give rise to an arithmetic structure on the noncommutative torus. We start by giving…

Let K be a field and let S = K[x_1, ..., x_n] be a polynomial ring. Consider a homogenous ideal I in S. Let t_i denote reg(Tor_i (S/I, K)), the maximal degree of an ith syzygy of S/I. We prove bounds on the numbers t_i for i > n/2 purely in…
