We study the following question: Given two semidualizing complexes B and C over a commutative noetherian ring R, does the vanishing of Ext^n_R(B,C) for n>>0 imply that B is C-reflexive? This question is a natural generalization of one…

We provide a new proof that the upper nilradical of a compact ring coincides with the sum of its left nil ideals using the properties of orthogonal idempotents in compact rings.

Let R be a ring (not necessarily commutative). A left R-module is said to be cotorsion if Ext 1 R (G, M) = 0 for any flat R-module G. It is well known that each pure-injective left R-module is cotorsion, but the converse does not hold: for…

A left and right noetherian semiperfect ring R is known to be indecomposable if and only if its factor by the second power of Jacobson radical is. This characterisation is used to study simple R-modules in terms of their Ext groups. It is…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $1\neq 0$ and $n$ be a fixed positive integer. A proper ideal $I$ of $R$ is said to be an \textit{$n$-OA ideal} if whenever $a_1a_2\cdots a_{n+1}\in I$ for some nonunits $a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{n+1}\in R$, then…

In a paper on the taxonomy of 2-primal rings, examples of various types of rings that are related to commutativity such as reduced, symmetric, duo, reversible and PS~I were given in order to show that the ring class inclusions were strict.…

For $a\in R$, let $P_a$ denote the intersection of all minimal prime ideals of $R$ containing $a$. An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is called a $z^{\circ}$-ideal if $P_a\subseteq I$ for all $a\in I$. In this paper, we first investigate the class…

In this paper, we first consider the relationship between a polynomial ring $B$ over a Noetherian domain $R$ and the ring of invariants $A$ of a ${\mathbb G}_a$-action on $B$, when $A$ occurs as a retract of $B$. Next, we study retracts of…

In this note we show that a ring R is left perfect if and only if every left R-module is weakly supplemented if and only if R is semilocal and the radical of the countably infinite free left R-module has a weak supplement.

A ring $R$ is called right (small) dual if every (small) right ideal of $R$ is a right annihilator. Left (small) dual rings can be defined similarly. And a ring $R$ is called (small) dual if $R$ is left and right (small) dual. It is proved…

We completely characterize orbit reflexivity and R-orbit reflexivity for square matrices over the real numbers. Unlike the complex case in which every matrix is orbit reflexive and C-orbit reflexivity is characterized solely in terms of the…

We provide a certain direct-sum decomposition of reflexive modules over (one-dimensional) Arf local rings. We also see the equivalence of three notions, say, integrally closed ideals, trace ideals, and reflexive modules of rank one (i.e.,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with nonzero identity. Let $\mathcal{I}(R)$ be the set of all ideals of $R$ and let $\delta : \mathcal{I}(R)\longrightarrow \mathcal{I}(R)$ be a function. Then $\delta$ is called an expansion function of ideals…

We introduce and study the notion of null-orbit reflexivity, which is a slight perturbation of the notion of orbit-reflexivity. Positive results for orbit reflexivity and the recent notion of $\mathbb{C}$-orbit reflexivity both extend to…

Let $R$ be a maximal subring of a ring $T$. In this paper we study relation between some important ideals in the ring extension $R\subseteq T$. In fact, we would like to find some relation between $Nil_*(R)$ and $Nil_*(T)$, $Nil^*(R)$ and…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. In this note, we study the property: If $ I \subsetneqq J$ are ideals in $R$, then $ I^n \subsetneqq J^n$ for all $ n\geq 1$. We define the notion of a big ideal (Definition 1.2). It is noted…

The notion of ring endomorphisms having large images is introduced. Among others, injectivity and surjectivity of such endomorphisms are studied. It is proved, in particular, that an endomorphism S of a prime one-sided noetherian ring R is…

Let $R$ be a ring and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $R$. Then $R$ is called a uniformly $S$-Noetherian ($u$-$S$-Noetherian for abbreviation) ring provided there exists an element $s\in S$ such that for any ideal $I$ of $R$, $sI \subseteq…

Let $R$ be a ring. An $R$-module $M$ is said to be a weak $w$-projective module if ${\rm Ext}_R^1(M,N)=0$ for all $N \in \mathcal{P}_{w}^{\dagger_\infty}$ (see, \cite{FLQ}). In this paper, we introduce and study some properties of weak…

In this paper, we study the classes of rings in which every proper (regular) ideal can be factored as an invertible ideal times a nonempty product of proper radical ideals. More precisely, we investigate the stability of these properties…
