Let $R$ be a ring, $\sigma:R\to R$ a ring endomorphism, and $\delta:R\to R$ a $\sigma$-derivation. We establish that the Ore extension $R[x;\sigma,\delta]$ satisfies the rank condition if and only if $R$ does. In addition, we prove…

Aiming at a better understanding of finite groups as finite dynamical systems, we show that by a version of Fitting's Lemma for groups, each state space of an endomorphism of a finite group is a graph tensor product of a finite directed…

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…

Let $R(\phi)$ be the number of $\phi$-conjugacy (or Reidemeister) classes of an endomorphism $\phi$ of a group $G$. We prove for several classes of groups (including polycyclic) that the number $R(\phi)$ is equal to the number of fixed…

Let R be a commutative noetherian local ring and consider the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable totally reflexive R-modules. We prove that if this set is finite, then either it has exactly one element, represented by the rank 1…

We study reducing invariants of modules related to certain homological properties. For modules of finite reducing projective dimension, we establish grade inequalities. We prove that if $\mathbb{P}$ is the (uniform) Auslander condition, or…

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…

To each finitely presented module $M$ over a commutative ring $R$ one can associate an $R$-ideal $\mathrm{Fitt}_{R}(M)$, which is called the (zeroth) Fitting ideal of $M$ over $R$. This is of interest because it is always contained in the…

We sudy the behaviour of endomorphisms and automorphisms of groups involved in abelian group extensions. The main result can be stated as follows: Let $0\to N\to G\to Q \to 1$ be an abelian group extension. Then one has the following exact…

Let $R$ be a unital ring with involution.In this paper, several new necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the Moore-Penrose inverse of an element in a ring $R$ are given.In addition, the formulae of the Moore-Penrose…

Let p be a prime, M be a finite group, F be the field with p elements, and V be an absolutely irreducible FM-module. Then V has a universal deformation ring R(M,V) whose structure is closely related to the first and second cohomology groups…

Using the description of the Frobenius limit of modules over the ring of invariants under an action of a finite group on a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic $p>0$ developed by Symonds and the author, we give a characterization…

According to an old result of Albert and Muckenhoupt, the commutators in the endomorphism ring of a finite dimensional vector space are precisely the elements of trace zero. We replace the finite dimensional vector space with a complex of…

We explore orbits, rational invariant functions, and quotients of the natural actions of connected, not necessarily finite dimensional subgroups of the automorphism groups of irreducible algebraic varieties. The applications of the results…

We determine the finite groups whose real irreducible representations have different degrees.

In this article, we prove that if $R\to S$ is a homomorphism of Noetherian rings that splits, then for every $i\geq 0$ and ideal $I\subset R$, $\Ass_R H^i_I(R)$ is finite when $\Ass_S H^i_{IS}(S)$ is finite. In addition, if $S$ is a…

We develop contractive finite dimensional realizations for rational matrix functions of one variable on domains that are not simply connected, such as the annulus. The proof uses multivariable contractive realization results as well as…

We describe the endomorphism rings in an additive category whose objects are right $R$-modules $M$ with a fixed chain of submodules $0=M^{(0)}\leq M^{(1)}\leq M^{(2)} \leq \dots \leq M^{(n)}=M$ and the behaviour of these objects as far as…

For a commutative ring R we investigate the property that the sets of minimal primes of finitely generated ideals of R is always finite. We prove this property passes to polynomial ring extensions (in an arbitrary number of variables) over…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be the Grothendieck ring of complex smooth finite-length representations of the sequence of p-adic groups $\{GL_n(F)\}_{n=0}^\infty$, with multiplication defined through parabolic induction. We study the problem of the…
