We obtain various characterizations of commutative Noetherian local rings $(R, \fm)$ in terms of homological dimensions of certain finitely generated modules. For example, we establish that $R$ is Gorenstein if the Gorenstein injective…

Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$, and let $I$ be an ideal. The fiber cone is then an image of the polynomial ring over the residue field $A/\mathfrak{m}$. The kernel of this map is called the…

A classical theorem of Forster asserts that a finite module $M$ of rank $\leq n$ over a Noetherian ring of Krull dimension $d$ can be generated by $n + d$ elements. We prove a generalization of this result, with "module" replaced by…

In SGA 2, Grothendieck conjectures that the \'etale fundamental group of the punctured spectrum of a complete noetherian local domain of dimension at least two with algebraically closed residue field is topologically finitely generated. In…

A commutative ring is said to have ITI with respect to an ideal a if the a-torsion functor preserves injectivity of modules. Classes of rings with ITI or without ITI with respect to certain sets of ideals are identified. Behaviour of ITI…

For several semirings S, two weighted finite automata with multiplicities in S are equivalent if and only if they can be connected by a chain of simulations. Such a semiring S is called "proper". It is known that the Boolean semiring, the…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $S \subseteq R$ be a multiplicative set. An ideal $Q$ of $R$ (disjoint from $S$) is said to be $S$-primary if there exists an $s\in S$ such that for all $x,y\in R$ with $xy\in Q$, we have…

A proper ideal $P$ of a commutative ring with identity is an almost prime ideal if $ab \in P{\setminus}P^2$ implies $a \in P$ or $b \in P$. In this paper we define almost prime ideals of a noncommutative ring, and provide some equivalent…

In this paper, we prove a finite basis theorem for radical well-mixed difference ideals generated by binomials. As a consequence, every strictly ascending chain of radical well-mixed difference ideals generated by binomials in a difference…

Let I be the toric ideal of a homogeneous normal configuration. We prove that I is generated by circuits if and only if each unbalanced circuit of I has a "connector" which is a linear combination of circuits with a square-free term. In…

We prove two results about the derived functor of $a$-adic completion: (1) Let $K$ be a commutative noetherian ring, let $A$ be a flat noetherian $K$-algebra which is $a$-adically complete with respect to some ideal $a\subseteq A$, such…

In this paper we introduce the concept of purely infinite rings, which in the simple case agrees with the already existing notion of pure infiniteness. We establish various permanence properties of this notion, with respect to passage to…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension $d$. First, we define the "geometric subring" $A$ of a polynomial ring $R[T]$ of dimension $d+1$ (the definition of geometric subring is more general, see (1.2)). Then we prove that…

We study certain (two-sided) nil ideals and nilpotent ideals in a Lie nilpotent ring R. Our results lead us to showing that the prime radical rad(R) of R comprises the nilpotent elements of R, and that if L is a left ideal of R, then…

In this paper we investigate a property for commutative rings with identity which is possessed by every coherent regular ring and is equivalent to Cohen-Macaulay for Noetherian rings. We study the behavior of this property in the context of…

We show that if the real line is the disjoint union of kappa meager sets such that every meager set is contained in a countable union of them, then kappa = omega_1. This answers a question addressed by J. Cichon. We also prove two theorems…

This paper deals with the graded commutative rings in which every homogeneous prime ideal is contained in a unique homogeneous maximal ideal called Gelfand graded ring. The purpose is to establish some topological and algebraic…

Let $\fa$ be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ with identity and let $M$ and $N$ be two finitely generated $R$-modules. Let $t$ be a positive integer. It is shown that $\Ass_R(H_{\fa}^t(M,N))$ is contained in the union of the…

For the polynomial ring over an arbitrary field with twelve variables, there exists a prime ideal whose symbolic Rees algebra is not finitely generated.

We study rings over which an analogue of the Weierstrass preparation theorem holds for power series. We show that a commutative ring $R$ admits a factorization of every power series in $R[[x]]$ as the product of a polynomial and a unit if…
