We give a constructive proof of the general Nullstellensatz: a univariate polynomial ring over a commutative Jacobson ring is Jacobson. This theorem implies that every finitely generated algebra over a zero-dimensional ring or the ring of…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $\Z(R)$ its set of zero-divisors. In this paper, we study the total graph of $R$, denoted by $\T(\Gamma(R))$. It is the (undirected) graph with all elements of $R$ as vertices, and for distinct $x, y\in…

In a semiprime ring, von Neumann regular elements are determined by their inner inverses. In particular, for elements $a,b$ of a von Neumann regular ring $R$, $a=b$ if and only if $I(a)=I(b)$, where $I(x)$ denotes the set of inner inverses…

In this note, we show that a ring $R$ is $S$-coherent if and only if every finitely presented $R$-module is $S$-coherent, providing a positive answer to a question proposed in [D. Bennis, M. El Hajoui, {\it On $S$-coherence}, J. Korean…

In this paper, we introduce a strong property $(A)$ and we study the transfer of property $(A)$ and strong property $(A)$ in trivial ring extensions and amalgamated duplication of a ring along an ideal. We also exhibit a class of rings…

We determine the commutant of homogeneous subrings in strongly groupoid graded rings in terms of an action on the ring induced by the grading. Thereby we generalize a classical result of Miyashita from the group graded case to the groupoid…

In this paper, we introduce and study the notion of linkage of modules by reflexive homomorphisms. This notion unifies and generalizes several known concepts of linkage of modules and enables us to study the theory of linkage of modules…

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…

It was observed by Bump et al. that Ehrhart polynomials in a special family exhibit properties similar to the Riemann {\zeta} function. The construction was generalized by Matsui et al. to a larger family of reflexive polytopes coming from…

In this article several properties of the inverse along an element will be studied in the context of unitary rings. New characterizations of the existence of this inverse will be proved. Moreover, the set of all invertible elements along a…

The Ohno-Nakagawa (O-N) reflection theorem is an unexpectedly simple identity relating the number of $\mathrm{GL}_2 \mathbb{Z}$-classes of binary cubic forms (equivalently, cubic rings) of two different discriminants $D$, $-27D$; it…

The product matrix of a finite commutative ring $R=\{x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n\}$ and an element $u \in R$ is the matrix $A_u(R)=[a_{ij}]$, where $a_{ij}=1$ if $x_ix_j=u$, and $a_{ij}=0$ otherwise. This provides a natural extension of the concept…

In this paper we review and study $R$-modules $M$ for which $S = End_R(M)$ is commutative. For this, we define the concept of center of modules which is a natural generalization of the center of rings. The properties of center of modules,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity $(1\not=0)$ and let $\mathfrak{J}(R)$ be the set of all ideals of $R$. Let $\phi:\mathfrak{J}(R)\rightarrow\mathfrak{J}(R)\cup\{\emptyset\}$ be a reduction function of ideals of $R$ and let…

Let S be a subring of the ring R. We investigate the question of whether S intersected by U(R) is equal to U(S) holds for the units. In many situations our answer is positive. There is a special emphasis on the case when R is a full matrix…

Let $R$ be a ring satisfying a polynomial identity and let $\delta$ be a derivation of $R$. We show that if $N$ is the nil radical of $R$ then $\delta(N)\subseteq N$ and the Jacobson radical of $R[x;\delta]$ is equal to $N[x;\delta]$. As a…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $T(R)$ its total quotient ring. We extend the notion of well-centered overring of an integral domain to an arbitrary commutative ring and we investigate the transfer of this property to…

We generalize the definition and properties of root systems to complex reflection groups - roots become rank one projective modules over the ring of integers of a number field k. In the irreducible case, we provide a classification of root…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity and let $N$ be a nil ideal of $R$. It is shown that units of $R/N$ can be lifted to units in $R$. Under some mild conditions on the ring, a procedure is given to determine those lifted units in a…

We define and explore in-depth the notion of {\it UQ rings} by showing their important properties and by comparing their behavior with that of the well-known classes of UU rings and JU rings, respectively. Specifically, among the other…
