The ring of dual numbers over a ring $R$ is $R[\alpha] = R[x]/(x^2)$, where $\alpha$ denotes $x+(x^2)$. For any finite commutative ring $R$, we characterize null polynomials and permutation polynomials on $R[\alpha]$ in terms of the…

We obtain an effective analytic formula, with explicit constants, for the number of distinct irreducible factors of a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$. We use an explicit version of Mertens' theorem for number fields to estimate a related…

Let $R$ be a ring and denote by $\mathcal{FM}$ the class of all flat and Mittag-Leffler left $R$-modules. In \cite{BazzoniStovicek2} it is proved that, if $R$ is countable, the orthogonal class of $\mathcal{FM}$ consists of all cotorsion…
