Suppose $F$ is a field with valuation $v$ and valuation ring $O_{v}$, $E$ is a finite field extension and $w$ is a quasi-valuation on $E$ extending $v$. We study quasi-valuations on $E$ that extend $v$; in particular, their corresponding…

Suppose $F$ is a field with valuation $v$ and valuation domain $O_{v}$, and $R$ is an $O_{v}-$algebra. We prove that $R$ satisfies SGB (strong going between) over $O_{v}$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for $R$ to satisfy LO…

Let $S$ be an integral domain with field of fractions $F$ and let $A$ be an $F$-algebra. An $S$-subalgebra $R$ of $A$ is called $S$-nice if $R$ is lying over $S$ and the localization of $R$ with respect to $S \setminus \{ 0 \}$ is $A$. Let…

Let $A\subset B$ be an integral ring extension of integral domains with fields of fractions $K$ and $L$, respectively. The integral degree of $A\subset B$, denoted by ${\rm d}_A(B)$, is defined as the supremum of the degrees of minimal…

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…

In this note we compare the a-invariant of a homogeneous algebra B to the a-invariant of a subalgebra A. In particular we show that if $A \subset B$ is a finite homogeneous inclusion of standard graded domains over an algebraically closed…

Let (R; m; k) be a local noetherian domain with field of fractions K and R_v a valuation ring, dominating R (not necessarily birationally). Let v|K be the restriction of v to K; by definition, v|K is centered at R. Let \hat{R} denote the…

Consider the problem of minimizing a lower semi-continuous semi-algebraic function $f \colon \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R} \cup \{+\infty\}$ on an unbounded closed semi-algebraic set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^n.$ Employing adequate tools of…

For every field $F$ which has a quadratic extension $E$ we show there are non-metabelian infinite-dimensional thin graded Lie algebras all of whose homogeneous components, except the second one, have dimension $2$. We construct such Lie…

We study when $R \to S$ has the property that prime ideals of $R$ extend to prime ideals or the unit ideal of $S$, and the situation where this property continues to hold after adjoining the same indeterminates to both rings. We prove that…

It is proved that if $D$ is a $UFD$ and $R$ is a $D$-algebra, such that $U(R)\cap D\neq U(D)$, then $R$ has a maximal subring. In particular, if $R$ is a ring which either contains a unit $x$ which is not algebraic over the prime subring of…

We study quasi-quadratic modules in a pseudo-valuation domain $A$ whose strict units admit a square root. Let $\mathfrak X_R^N$ denote the set of quasi-quadratic modules in an $R$-module $N$, where $R$ is a commutative ring. It is known…

Let $R\subset F$ be an extension of real closed fields and ${\mathcal S}(M,R)$ the ring of (continuous) semialgebraic functions on a semialgebraic set $M\subset R^n$. We prove that every $R$-homomorphism $\varphi:{\mathcal S}(M,R)\to F$ is…

Suppose $F$ is a field with a nontrivial valuation $v$ and valuation ring $O_{v}$, $E$ is a finite field extension and $w$ is a quasi-valuation on $E$ extending $v$. We study the topology induced by $w$. We prove that the quasi-valuation…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The ring $R\times R$ can be viewed as an extension of $R$ via the diagonal map $\Delta: R \hookrightarrow R\times R$, given by $\Delta(r) = (r, r)$ for all $r\in R$. It is shown that, for any $a,…

Let A be an integral domain with field of fractions K. We investigate the structure of the overrings B of A (contained in K) that are well-centered on A in the sense that each principal ideal of B is generated by an element of A. We…

We show that fine domains in $\mathbf{C}$ with the property that they are Euclidean $F_\sigma$ and $G_\delta$, are in fact fine domains of existence for finely holomorphic functions. Moreover \emph{regular} fine domains are also fine…

Let $E\supseteq F$ be a field extension and $M$ a graded Lie algebra of maximal class over $E$. We investigate the $F$-subalgebras $L$ of $M$, generated by elements of degree $1$. We provide conditions for $L$ being either ideally…

Let $K$ be a field, $\mathcal {O}_v$ a valuation ring of $K$ associated to a valuation $v$: $K\rightarrow\Gamma\cup\{\infty\}$, and ${\bf m}_v$ the unique maximal ideal of $\mathcal {O}_v$. Consider an ideal $\mathcal {I}$ of the free…

In this paper, we study extensions of valuations over algebraic field extensions without the use of the Axiom of Choice. We show a bijection between the extensions of a valuation and the maximal ideals of the relative integral closure of…
