A covering array CA(N; t; k; v) is an N x k array on v symbols such that every N x t subarray contains as a row each t-tuple over the v symbols at least once. The minimum N for which a CA(N; t; k; v) exists is called the covering array…

In arXiv:2511.04191 we constructed schemes of objects in small categories which contained a set of basepoints with local representing (localizing) objects. Here we prove that the category $\cat{Rings}$ of associative rings with unit has a…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a $d$-dimensional Noetherian local ring that is formally equidimensional, and let $M$ be an arbitrary $R$-submodule of the free module $F = R^p$ with an analytic spread $s:=s(M)$. In this work, inspired by…

In the present survey paper, we present several new classes of Hochster's spectral spaces "occurring in nature", actually in multiplicative ideal theory, and not linked to or realized in an explicit way by prime spectra of rings. The…

Based on work of P. Balister, B. Bollob\'as, R. Morris, J. Sahasrabudhe and M. Tiba, we show that if a covering system has distinct squarefree moduli, then the minimum modulus is at most 118. We also show that in general the $k^{\rm th}$…

We introduce a new numerical invariant $\gamma_I(M)$ associated to a finite-length $R$-module $M$ and an ideal $I$ in an Artinian local ring $R$. This invariant measures the ratio between $\lambda(IM)$ and $\lambda(M/IM)$. We establish…

We study some closely interrelated notions of Homological Algebra: (1) We define a topology on modules over a not-necessarily commutative ring $R$ that coincides with the $R$-topology defined by Matlis when $R$ is commutative. (2) We…

The aim of this paper is to obtain a uniform bound for a certain class of submodules from the following theorem: Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a local ring, let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of dimension $d\ge 1$ and let $\frak q$ be an ideal of $R$…

Let $F$ be a field, let $D$ be a subring of $F$, and let ${\mathfrak{X}}$ be the Zariski-Riemann space of valuation rings containing $D$ and having quotient field $F$. We consider the Zariski, inverse and patch topologies on…

In this work we define a primary spectrum of a commutative ring R with its Zariski topology $\mathfrak{T}$. We introduce several properties and examine some topological features of this concept. We also investigate differences between the…

We give a presentation of the cohomology ring of spatial polygon spaces $M(r)$ with fixed side lengths $r \in \mathbb R^n_+$. These spaces can be described as the symplectic reduction of the Grassmaniann of 2-planes in $\mathbb C^n$ by the…

Using the concept of prime submodule introduced by Raggi et.al. we extend the notion of reduced rank to the module-theoretic context of $\sigma[M]$. We study the quotient category of $\sigma[M]$ modulo the hereditary torsion theory…

We construct a combinatorial moduli space closely related to the KSV-compactification of the moduli space of bordered marked Riemann surfaces. The open part arises from symmetric metric ribbon graphs. The compactification is obtained by…

Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. In this paper, we prove that if $\frak m$ is decomposable, then for any finitely generated $R$-module $M$ of infinite projective dimension $\frak m$ is a direct summand of (a direct…

Using currents with minimal singularities, we construct pointwise minimal multiplicities for a real pseudo-effective $(1,1)$-class $\alpha$ on a compact complex $n$-fold $X$, which are the local obstructions to the numerical effectivity of…

Let $\mathscr{V}\mathrm{ect}_n$ be the moduli stack of vector bundles of rank $n$ on schemes. We prove that, if $E$ is a Zariski sheaf of ring spectra which is equipped with finite quasi-smooth transfers and satisfies the projective bundle…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The ring $R\times R$ can be viewed as an extension of $R$ via the diagonal map $\Delta: R \hookrightarrow R\times R$, given by $\Delta(r) = (r, r)$ for all $r\in R$. It is shown that, for any $a,…

Given a small category C, a C-module M is a functor from C to the category of finite-dimensional vector spaces over a field k. Associated to M is its local structure, given as a functor from C to the category of bi-closed multi-flags over…

We study rings with infinitely (only finitely) many maximal subrings. We prove that if $M$ is a maximal left/right ideal of a ring $T$ which is not an ideal of $T$, and $R$ is the idealizer of $M$, then $T$ has at least $|R/M|+1$ maximal…

Let M be a fixed left R-module. For a left R-module X, we introduce the notion of M-prime (resp. M-semiprime) submodule of X such that in the case M=R, which coincides with prime (resp. semiprime) submodule of X. Other concepts encountered…
