A well-known result of K\"{o}the and Cohen-Kaplansky states that a commutative ring $R$ has the property that every $R$-module is a direct sum of cyclic modules if and only if $R$ is an Artinian principal ideal ring. This motivated us to…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. It is shown that there is an order isomorphism between a popular class of finite type closure operations on the ideals of $R$ and the poset of semistar operations of finite type.

Closure operations such as tight and integral closure and test ideals have appeared frequently in the study of commutative algebra. This articles serves as a survey of the authors' prior results connecting closure operations, test ideals,…

Valuation rings and perfectoid rings are examples of (usually non-noetherian) rings that behave in some sense like regular rings. We give and study an extension of the concept of regular local rings to non-noetherian rings so that it…

Let R be an excellent local ring, m its maximal ideal and I an ideal. Then there exists a positive integer c such that for all integers n, the integral closure of (I + m^n) is contained in m^(n/c) + the integral closure of I. In the proof,…

This paper is concerned with ideals in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ of prime characteristic. The main purpose is to show that the Frobenius closures of certain ideals of $R$ generated by regular sequences exhibit a desirable type of…

The aim of this paper is to study mixed multiplier ideals associated to a tuple of ideals in a two-dimensional local ring with a rational singularity. We are interested in the partition of the real positive orthant given by the regions…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring. We prove that $R$ has global dimension at most two if, and only if, every prime ideal of $R$ is of linear type. Similarly, we show that $R$ has global dimension at most three if, and only if, every prime ideal…

Let M_d(k) denote the space of dxd-matrices with coefficients in an algebraically closed field k. Let X be an orbit closure in the product [M_d(k)]^t equipped with the action of the general linear group GL_d(k) by simultaneous conjugation.…

We consider a circle of ideas involving differential algebra, local Noetherian rings, and their generic formal fibers. Connecting these ideas gives rise to what we term a "twisted" subring $R$ of a ring $S$. Each such subring $R$ arises as…

An equidimensional local ring is F-rational if and only if one ideal generated by a system of parameters is tightly closed. The question of whether a non-equidimensional local ring can have a tightly closed ideal generated by a system of…

We show that a ring $R$ is regular if $Tor_{i}^{R}(R^{+},k) = 0$ for some $i\geq 1$ assuming further that $R$ is a $\mathbb{N}$-graded ring of dimension $2$ finitely generated over an equi-characteristic zero field $k$. This answers a…

This paper presents some algorithmic techniques to compute explicitly the noetherian operators associated to a class of ideals and modules over a polynomial ring. The procedures we include in this work can be easily encoded in computer…

Separative von Neumann regular rings exist in abundance. For example, all regular self-injective rings, unit regular rings, regular rings with a polynomial identity are separative. It remains open whether there exists a non-separative…

In this article we give an explicit formula for the jumping numbers of an ideal of finite colenght in a two-dimensional regular local ring with an algebraically closed residue field. For this purpose, we associate a certain numerical…

Let $(R, {\mathfrak m})$ be a Noetherian local ring and let $I$ be an ${\mathfrak m}$-primary ideal. In this paper we give sharp bounds on the multiplicity of the special fiber ring ${\mathcal F}$ of $I$ in terms of other well-known…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the class of rings for which every indecomposable right module is pure-projective or pure-injective. When $R$ is a Noetherian local commutative ring of maximal ideal $P$, it is proven that $R\in\mathcal{P}$ if and only…

In this paper, we say a ring $R$ is Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian provided that any nil ideal is finitely generated. First, we show that the Hilbert basis theorem holds for Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian rings, that is, $R$ is Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian if…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a $d$-dimensional Noetherian local ring and $E$ a finitely generated $R$-submodule of a free module $R^p.$ In this work we introduce a multiplicity sequence $c_k(E), k=0,..., d+p-1$ for $E$ that generalize the…

For an ideal $I$ in a Noetherian ring $R$, the Fitting ideals $\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)$ are studied. We discuss the question of when $\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)=I$ or $\sqrt{\textrm{Fitt}_j(I)}=\sqrt{I}$ for some $j$. A classical case is the…
