A detailed proof is given of the well-known facts that greatest common divisors exist in rings of non-Archimedean entire functions of several variables and that these rings of entire functions are almost factorial, in the sense that an…

Let $M$ be a commutative cancellative monoid, and let $R$ be an integral domain. The question of whether the monoid ring $R[x;M]$ is atomic provided that both $M$ and $R$ are atomic dates back to the 1980s. In 1993, Roitman gave a negative…

A well-known theorem of Wedderburn asserts that a finite division ring is commutative. In a division ring the group of invertible elements is as large as possible. Here we will be particularly interested in the case where this group is as…

Polynomials whose coefficients, roots, and critical points lie in the ring of rational integers are called nice polynomials. In this paper, we present a general method for investigating such polynomials. We extend our results from the ring…

To study the question of whether every two-dimensional Pr\"ufer domain possesses the stacked bases property, we consider the particular case of the Pr\"ufer domains formed by integer-valued polynomials. The description of the spectrum of…

Most undergraduate level abstract algebra texts use $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-5}]$ as an example of an integral domain which is not a unique factorization domain (or UFD) by exhibiting two distinct irreducible factorizations of a nonzero element.…

We know that for a finite field $F$, every function on $F$ can be given by a polynomial with coefficients in $F$. What about the converse? i.e. if $R$ is a ring (not necessarily commutative or with unity) such that every function on $R$ can…

Given an associative ring $A$, we present a new approach for establishing the finiteness of the big finitistic projective dimension $\operatorname{FPD}(A)$. The idea is to find a sufficiently nice non-positively graded differential graded…

Let $M$ be a Puiseux monoid, that is, a monoid consisting of nonnegative rationals (under addition). A nonzero element of $M$ is called an atom if its only decomposition as a sum of two elements in $M$ is the trivial decomposition (i.e.,…

An element $g$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be vanishing in $G$ if there exists an irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$ such that $\chi(g)=0$; in this case, $g$ is also called a zero of $G$. The aim of this paper is to obtain structural…

Let $f(x) \in \bbz[x]$ and consider the index divisibility set $D = \{n \in \bbn : n \mid f^n(0)\}$. We present a number of properties of $D$ in the case that $(f^n(0))_{n=1}^\infty$ is a rigid divisibility sequence, generalizing a number…

We extend results of Denef, Zahidi, Demeyer and the second author to show the following. (1) Rational integers have a single-fold Diophantine definition over the ring of integral functions of any function field of characteristic 0. (2)…

A polynomial with coefficients in the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K}$ of a global field $K$ is called intersective if it has a root modulo every finite-indexed subgroup of $\mathcal{O}_{K}$. We prove two criteria for a polynomial…

For a set $S$ of quadratic polynomials over a finite field, let $C$ be the (infinite) set of arbitrary compositions of elements in $S$. In this paper we show that there are examples with arbitrarily large $S$ such that every polynomial in…

Constructing $r$-th nonresidue over a finite field is a fundamental computational problem. A related problem is to construct an irreducible polynomial of degree $r^e$ (where $r$ is a prime) over a given finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of…

A module is called automorphism-invariant if it is invariant under any automorphism of its injective hull. In [Algebras for which every indecomposable right module is invariant in its injective envelope, Pacific J. Math., vol. 31, no. 3…

Let $D$ be an integral domain and $X$ an indeterminate over $D$. It is well known that (a) $D$ is quasi-Pr\"ufer (i.e, its integral closure is a Pr\"ufer domain) if and only if each upper to zero $Q$ in $D[X] $ contains a polynomial $g \in…

Let $R\ $be an integral domain and $R^{\#}$ the set of all nonzero nonunits of $R.\ $For every elements $a,b\in R^{\#},$ we define $a\sim b$ if and only if $aR=bR,$ that is, $a$ and $b$ are associated elements. Suppose that $EC(R^{\#})$ is…

Motivated by a valuation theorem, recently obtained by Rangachev, we study the \'etale extensions $A\subset B$ of polynomial rings over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, such that the integral closure $\overline{A}$ is a…

In this paper we study arithmetic computations in the nonassociative, and noncommutative free polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}\{x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n\}$. Prior to this work, nonassociative arithmetic computation was considered by Hrubes, Wigderson,…
