In this article, some factorization properties of polynomials over discrete valuation domains are elucidated. These properties along with the notion of Newton index of a polynomial leads to a generalization of the main result proved by…

Baer's Criterion of injectivity implies that injectivity of a module is a factorization property w.r.t. a single monomorphism. Using the notion of a cotorsion pair, we study generalizations and dualizations of factorization properties in…

Suppose that X to Y is a generically finite map of nonsingular varieties over a field of characteristic zero, and v is a valuation of the function field of X. We prove that it is possible to perform a sequence of monoidal transforms X' to X…

In this note we show that an integral domain $D$ of finite $w$-dimension is a quasi-Pr\"{u}fer domain if and only if each overring of $D$ is a $w$-Jaffard domain. Similar characterizations of quasi-Pr\"{u}fer domains are given by replacing…

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K. For any set X, the ring Int(D^X) of integer-valued polynomials on D^X is the set of all polynomials f in K[X] such that f(D^X) is a subset of D. Using the t-closure operation on fractional…

In algebra, atomicity is the study of divisibility by and factorizations into atoms (also called irreducibles). In one side of the spectrum of atomicity we find the antimatter algebraic structures, inside which there are no atoms and,…

Let $R$ be a regular local ring of dimension at least 2. Associated to each valuation domain birationally dominating $R$, there exists a unique sequence $\{R_n\}$ of local quadratic transforms of $R$ along this valuation domain. We consider…

Let $(S,\mathfrak n)$ be a regular local ring and $f$ a non-zero element of $\mathfrak n^2$. A theorem due to Kn\"orrer states that there are finitely many isomorphism classes of maximal Cohen-Macaulay $R=S/(f)$-modules if and only if the…

In singular value decomposition (SVD) of a complex matrix A, the singular vectors or the eigenvectors of AA{\dag} and A{\dag}A are unique up to complex phase factors. Thus, the two unitary matrices in SVD are unique up to diagonal matrices…

A flag domain D = G/V for G a simple real non-compact group G with compact Cartan subgroup is non-classical if it does not fiber holomorphically or anti-holomorphically over a Hermitian symmetric space. We prove that any two points in a…

The structure and the existence of maximal subrings in division rings are investigated. We see that if $R$ is a maximal subring of a division ring $D$ with center $F$ and $N(R)\neq U(R)\cup \{0\}$, where $N(R)$ is the normalizer of $R$ in…

We study the structure of the commutative multiplicative monoid $\mathbb N_0[x]^*$ of all the non-zero polynomials in $\mathbb Z[x]$ with non-negative coefficients. We show that $\mathbb N_0[x]^*$ is not a half-factorial monoid and is not a…
