In this article we investigate when a homogeneous ideal in a graded ring is normal, that is, when all positive powers of the ideal are integrally closed. We are particularly interested in homogeneous ideals in an N-graded ring generated by…

In this paper, we prove a result similar to results of Itoh and Hong-Ulrich, proving that integral closure of an ideal is compatible with specialization by a general element of that ideal for ideals of height at least two in a large class…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent normal domain of dimension two. We define an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal $I$ to be a $p_g$-ideal if the Rees algebra $A[It]$ is a Cohen-Macaulay normal domain. When $A$ contains an algebraically…

The symbolic powers $I^{(n)}$ of a radical ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring consist of the functions that vanish up to order $n$ in the variety defined by $I$. These do not necessarily coincide with the ordinary algebraic powers $I^n$, but it…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with ${\Bbb{A}}(R)$ its set of ideals with nonzero annihilator. In this paper and its sequel, we introduce and investigate the {\it annihilating-ideal graph} of $R$, denoted by ${\Bbb{AG}}(R)$. It is the…

We consider the class of all commutative reduced rings for which there exists a finite subset T of A such that all projections on quotients by prime ideals of A are surjective when restricted to T. A complete structure theorem is given for…

It is known that an ideal of a direct product of commutative unitary rings is directly decomposable into ideals of the corresponding factors. We show that this does not hold in general for commutative rings and we find necessary and…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with the unit element. It is shown that an ideal $I$ in $R$ is pure if and only if Ann$(f)+I=R$ for all $f\in I$. If $J$ is the trace of a projective $R$-module $M$, we prove that $J$ is generated by the…

Let $R$ be a normal Noetherian local domain of Krull dimension two. We examine intersections of rank one discrete valuation rings that birationally dominate $R$. We restrict to the class of prime divisors that dominate $R$ and show that if…

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring and $I$ an ideal of $R$. For every $R$-module $M$, $\gamma_I(M) = \sum\{ \operatorname{Bi} f \,|\, f \in \operatorname{Hom}_R(I,M)\}$ is called the trace of $I$ in $M$. It is…

It is proved that if $D$ is a $UFD$ and $R$ is a $D$-algebra, such that $U(R)\cap D\neq U(D)$, then $R$ has a maximal subring. In particular, if $R$ is a ring which either contains a unit $x$ which is not algebraic over the prime subring of…

We give an example of a commutative coherent ring of infinite global dimension such that the category of perfect complexes has finite Rouquier dimension.

We consider the ideal of inner $2$-minors $I_{\mathcal{P}}$ of a finite set of cells $\mathcal{P}$, which we call the cell ideal of $\mathcal{P}$. A nice interpretation for the height of an unmixed ideal $I_{\mathcal{P}}$, in terms of the…

We show that every proper, dense ideal in a C*-algebra is contained in a prime ideal. It follows that a subset generates a C*-algebra as a not necessarily closed ideal if and only if it is not contained in any prime ideal. This allows us to…

We develop a new technique for studying monomial ideals in the standard polynomial rings $A[X_1,\ldots,X_d]$ where $A$ is a commutative ring with identity. The main idea is to consider induced ideals in the semigroup ring…

We give an elementary proof that for a ring homomorphism A -> B, satisfying the property that every ideal in A is contracted from B, the following property holds: for every chain of prime ideals p_0 \subset ... \subset p_r in A there exists…

In 2011, Khurana, Lam and Wang define the following property. (*)A commutative unital ring A satisfies the property ''power stable range one'' if for all a, b $\in$ A with aA + bA = A there are an integer N = N (a, b) $\ge$ 1 and $\lambda$…

In this article we revisit a problem regarding Bezout domains, namely, whether every Bezout domain is an elementary divisor domain. We prove that a Bezout domain in which every maximal ideal is principal is an elementary divisor ring

Let $ A \subset B$ be rings. An ideal $ J \subset B$ is called power stable in $A$ if $ J^n \cap A = (J\cap A)^n$ for all $ n\geq 1$. Further, $J$ is called ultimately power stable in $A$ if $ J^n \cap A = (J\cap A)^n$ for all $n$ large…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity. The prime ideal sum graph of the ring $R$ is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is the set of nonzero proper ideals of $R$ and two distinct vertices $I$ and $J$ are adjacent if and only if…
