The notion of a matrix factorization was introduced by Eisenbud in the commutative case in his study of bounded (periodic) free resolutions over complete intersections. In this work, we extend the notion of (homogeneous) matrix…

We define and study a notion of G-dimension for DG-modules over a non-positively graded commutative noetherian DG-ring $A$. Some criteria for the finiteness of the G-dimension of a DG-module are given by applying a DG-version of projective…

Let $k$ be a field. For each pair of positive integers $(n,N)$, we resolve $Q=R/(x^N,y^N,z^N)$ as a module over the ring $R=k[x,y,z]/(x^n+y^n+z^n)$. Write $N$ in the form $N=a n+r$ for integers $a$ and $r$, with $r$ between $0$ and $n-1$.…

Let $A$ be a matrix with nonnegative real entries. A nonnegative factorization of size $k$ is a representation of $A$ as a sum of $k$ nonnegative rank-one matrices. The space of all such factorizations is a bounded semialgebraic set, and we…

A ring has bounded factorizations if every cancellative nonunit $a \in R$ can be written as a product of atoms and there is a bound $\lambda(a)$ on the lengths of such factorizations. The bounded factorization property is one of the most…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup of prime index $p$. Let $V$ be an irreducible ${\mathbb F}H$-module and $U$ a quotient of the induced ${\mathbb F}G$-module $V\kern-3pt\uparrow$. We describe the structure of $U$, which is…

In this paper we show that for a torsion-free abelian group $G$, $\operatorname{rank}_\mathbb{Z}G<\infty$ if and only if there exists a Noetherian $G$-graded ring $R$ such that the set $\{R_g \neq 0\}$ generates the group $G$. For every $G$…

We reformulate the problem of bounding the total rank of the homology of perfect chain complexes over the group ring $\mathbb{F}_p[G]$ of an elementary abelian $p$-group $G$ in terms of commutative algebra. This extends results of Carlsson…

For an arbitrary finite set S of natural numbers greater 1, we construct an integer-valued polynomial f, whose set of lengths in Int(Z) is S. The set of lengths of f is the set of all natural numbers n, such that f has a factorization as a…

Let $Q=k[x_1,..., x_n]$ be a polynomial ring over a field $k$ with the standard $N^n$-grading. Let $\phi$ be a morphism of finite free $N^n$-graded $Q$-modules. We translate to this setting several notions and constructions that appear…

We propose a novel factorization of a non-singular matrix $P$, viewed as a $2\times 2$-blocked matrix. The factorization decomposes $P$ into a product of three matrices that are lower block-unitriangular, upper block-triangular, and lower…

In this paper we introduce a working generalization of the theory of Gr\"obner bases for algebras of partial difference polynomials with constant coefficients. One obtains symbolic (formal) computation for systems of linear or non-linear…

The all Rota-Baxter algebra structures on the polynomial algebra $R={\bf k}[x]$ are well known. We study the finite dimensional modules of polynomial Rota-Baxter algebras $(\bfk[x],P)$ or $(x {\bf k} [x],P)$ of weight nonzero since some…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring of dimension $d$ and $A$ be a graded $R$-subalgebra of $R[X,1/X]$. Let $P$ be a projective module over $A$ of rank $r \geq \max\{d+1,2\}$ and $\v=(a,p)$ be a unimodular element of $A \oplus P$. We find an…

Let $J$ be a quadratically presented grade three Gorenstein ideal in the standard graded polynomial ring $R= k[x,y,z]$, where $k$ is a field. Assume that $R/J$ satisfies the weak Lefschetz property. We give the presentation matrix for $J$…

Given a square, nonsingular matrix of univariate polynomials $\mathbf{F}\in\mathbb{K}[x]^{n\times n}$ over a field $\mathbb{K}$, we give a deterministic algorithm for finding the determinant of $\mathbf{F}$. The complexity of the algorithm…

We discuss interrelations between: Cohn localizations of full square matrices; a Leavitt localization of a row; and the Jacobson quasi-inverses of quasi-regular elements. The latter Jacobson localizations appear naturally and easily in…

First some old as well as new results about P.I. algebras, Ore extensions, and degrees are presented. Then quantized $n\times r$ matrices as well as quantized factor algebras of $M_q(n)$ are analyzed. The latter are the quantized function…

We study modules for the divided power algebra $D$ in a single variable over a commutative noetherian ring $k$. Our first result states that $D$ is a coherent ring. In fact, we show that there is a theory of Gr\"obner bases for finitely…

Let p be a prime and q=p^g. We show that the Grothendieck ring of finitely generated F_{q}[SL(2,F_{q})]-modules is naturally isomorphic to the quotient of the polynomial algebra Z[x] by the ideal generated by f^[g](x)-x, where…
