We study the arithmetic of monoids of regular elements of commutative rings with zero-divisors. Our focus is on Krull rings and on some of their generalizations (such as weakly Krull rings and C-rings). We establish sufficient conditions…

In a recent paper of Alahmadi, Alkan and Lopez-Permouth, a ring R is defined to have no (simple) middle class if the injectivity domain of any (simple) R-module is the smallest or largest possible. Er, Lopez-Permouth and Sokmez use this…

Using Composition--Diamond Lemma we construct presentations of groups $G = \langle x_1,\ldots,x_n \, | \, r_1,\ldots, r_m \rangle$ with the following property; for a fixed $1 \le i \le n$, and for all $1 \le j \le m$, Fox derivatives…

Let $A$ be an associative unital algebra, $B_k$ its successive quotients of lower central series and $N_k$ the successive quotients of ideals generated by lower central series. The geometric and algebraic aspects of $B_k$ and $N_k$ have…

The associative Cayley-Dickson algebras over the field of real numbers are also Clifford algebras. The alternative but nonassociative real Cayley-Dickson algebras, notably the octonions and split octonions, share with Clifford algebras an…

This paper presents some preliminary discussion on the possible relevance of the Okubonions, i.e. the real Okubo algebra $\mathcal{O}$, in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The Okubo algebra lacks a unit element and sits in the adjoint…

A cover of an associative (not necessarily commutative nor unital) 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…

We compute the center of the ring of PD differential operators on a smooth variety over $\bZ/p^n\bZ$ confirming a conjecture of Kaledin. More generally, given an associative algebra $A_0$ over $\bF_p$ and its flat deformation $A_n$ over…

Let $\R$ be an alternative ring containing a nontrivial idempotent and $\D$ be a multiplicative Lie-type derivation from $\R$ into itself. Under certain assumptions on $\R$, we prove that $\D$ is almost additive. Let $p_n(x_1, x_2, \cdots,…

Inspired by a very recent work of A. {\DH}uri\'c, S. Jev{\dj}eni\'c and N. Stopar, we introduce a new definition of zero-divisor graphs attached to rings, that includes all of the classical definitions already known in the literature. We…

The zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ of a ring $R$ is a graph with nonzero zero-divisors of $R$ as vertices and distinct vertices $x,y$ are adjacent if $xy=0$ or $yx=0$. We provide an equivalence relation on a ring $R$ and express $\Gamma(R)$…

We study nonmatrix varieties of $\mathbf{k}$-algebras, where $\mathbf{k}$ is a unital commutative ring. Our results extend to this generality known results for the case in which $\mathbf{k}$ is an infinite field. Also, we generalize these…

For a commutative ring $R$ with identity, the zero-divisor graph of $R$, denoted $\Gamma(R)$, is the graph whose vertices are the non-zero zero divisors of $R$ with two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy=0$. In…

Let k be a base commutative ring, R a commutative ring of coefficients, X a quasi-compact quasi-separated k-scheme, A a sheaf of Azumaya algebras over X of rank r, and Hmo(R) the category of noncommutative motives with R-coefficients.…

In this paper, we continue the program initiated by I. Beck's now classical paper concerning zero-divisor graphs of commutative rings. After the success of much research regarding zero-divisor graphs, many authors have turned their…

We argue that once octonions are formulated as soft Lie algebras, they may be safely used and the non-associativity can be overcame. The necessary points are: (a) Fixing the direction of action by introducing the \delta operator. (b)…

In this article, we discussed the zero-divisor graph of a commutative ring with identity $\mathbb{F}_p+u\mathbb{F}_p+u^2 \mathbb{F}_p$ where $u^3=0$ and $p$ is an odd prime. We find the clique number, chromatic number, vertex connectivity,…

This paper continues the study of the lower central series quotients of an associative algebra A, regarded as a Lie algebra, which was started in math/0610410 by Feigin and Shoikhet. Namely, it provides a basis for the second quotient in…

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 investigate near-ring properties that generalize nearfield properties about units. We study zero symmetric near-rings $N$ with identity with two interrelated properties: the units with zero form an additive subgroup of $(N,+)$; the units…
