In this paper we prove that if $R$ is a commutative refinement ring and $M$, $N$ are two $R$-modules then, $M\cong N$ if and only if for every maximal ideal $m$ of $R$, $M_m\cong N_m$. We prove if $R$ is a refinement ring, then every…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The small finitistic dimension $\fPD(R)$ of $R$ is defined to be the supremum of projective dimensions of $R$-modules with finite projective resolutions. In this paper, we characterize a ring $R$…

It is shown that every dp-minimal integral domain $R$ is a local ring and for every non-maximal prime ideal $\mathfrak p $ of $R$, the localization $R_{\mathfrak p }$ is a valuation ring and $\mathfrak{p}R_{\mathfrak{p}}=\mathfrak{p}$.…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $ 1 \neq 0$. We recall that a proper ideal $I$ of $R$ is called a semiprimary ideal of $R$ if whenever $a,b\in R$ and $ab \in I$, then $a\in \sqrt{I}$ or $b\in \sqrt{I}$. We say $I$ is a {\it weakly…

Given a ring $R$, we study the bimodules $M$ for which the trivial extension $R\propto M$ is morphic. We obtain a complete characterization in the case where $R$ is left perfect, and we prove that $R\propto Q/R$ is morphic when $R$ is a…

We use the concept of a regular object with respect to another object in an arbitrary category, defined in \cite{dntd}, in order to obtain the transfer of regularity in the sense of Zelmanowitz between the categories $R-$mod and $S-$mod,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. An ideal $I$ of $R$ is said to be a big ideal (resp. an upper big ideal) if whenever $J\subsetneqq I$ (resp. $I\subsetneqq J$), $J^{n}\subsetneqq I^{n}$ (resp. $I^{n}\subsetneqq J^{n}$) for every…

A commutative ring $R$ is stable provided every ideal of $R$ containing a nonzerodivisor is projective as a module over its ring of endomorphisms. The class of stable rings includes the one-dimensional local Cohen-Macaulay rings of…

In this paper we examine the commutativity of ideal extensions. We introduce methods of constructing such extensions, in particular we construct a noncommutative ring T which contains a central and idempotent ideal I such that T/I is a…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\fa$ be an ideal of $R$ and $M$ be an $R$-module. It is shown that if $\Ext^i_R(R/\fa,M)$ is minimax for all $i\leq \dim M$, then the $R$-module $\Ext^i_R(N,M)$ is minimax for all $i\geq 0$ and for…

We develop a general ring theory in the o-minimal setting culminating in a description of all the definable rings in an arbitrary o-minimal structure. We show that every definably connected ring with non-trivial multiplication defines an…

A cover of a unital, associative (not necessarily commutative) ring $R$ is a collection of proper subrings of $R$ whose set-theoretic union equals $R$. If such a cover exists, then the covering number $\sigma(R)$ of $R$ is the cardinality…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and M be an R-module. A proper ideal I of R is said to be a $z^\circ$-ideal if for each $a \in I$ the intersection of all minimal prime ideals containing a is contained in I. The purpose of this…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$. Let $R\Join I$ be the subring of $R\times R$ consisting of the elements $(r,r+i)$ for $r\in R$ and $i\in I$. We study the diameter and girth of the zero-divisor…

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…

For commutative rings with identity, we introduce and study the concept of semi $r$-ideals which is a kind of generalization of both $r$-ideals and semiprime ideals. A proper ideal $I$ of a commutative ring $R$ is called semi $r$-ideal if…

A unimodular $2\times 2$ matrix with entries in a commutative $R$ is called extendable (resp.\ simply extendable) if it extends to an invertible $3\times 3$ matrix (resp.\ invertible $3\times 3$ matrix whose $(3,3)$ entry is $0$). We obtain…

It is shown that if $R$ is a ring, $p$ a prime element of an integral domain $D\leq R$ with $\bigcap_{n=1}^\infty p^nD=0$ and $p\in U(R)$, then $R$ has a conch maximal subring (see \cite{faith}). We prove that either a ring $R$ has a conch…

We study the ring extensions R \subseteq T having the same set of prime ideals provided Nil(R) is a divided prime ideal. Some conditions are given under which no such T exist properly containing R. Using idealization theory, the examples…

We introduce a new class of commutative {non-noetherian} rings, called $n$-subperfect rings, generalizing the almost perfect rings that have been studied recently by Fuchs-Salce. For an integer $n \ge 0$, the ring $R$ is $n$-subperfect if…
