Let $R$ be a commutative ring, we say that $\mathcal{A}\subseteq Spec(R)$ has prime avoidance property, if $I\subseteq \bigcup_{P\in\mathcal{A}}P$ for an ideal $I$ of $R$, then there exists $P\in\mathcal{A}$ such that $I\subseteq P$. We…
We investigate prime avoidance for an arbitrary set of prime ideals in a commutative ring. Various necessary and/or sufficient conditions for prime avoidance are given, which yield natural classes of infinite sets of primes that satisfy…
We study the two dual notions of prime avoidance and prime absorbance. We generalize the classical prime avoidance lemma to radical ideals. A number of new criteria are provided for an abstract ring to be C.P. (every set of primes satisfies…
In this paper, we consider the N-pure notion. An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is said to be N-pure, if for every $a\in I$ there exists $b\in I$ such that $a(1-b)\in N(R)$, where N(R) is nil radical of $R$. We provide new characterizations for…
In the theory of commutative semirings, the lack of additive inverses creates a structural divergence between ideals and congruences that does not exist in ring theory. The aim of this article is to restore critical ideal-theoretic…
Can there be a structure space-type theory for an arbitrary class of ideals of a ring? The ideal spaces introduced in this paper allows such a study and our theory includes (but not restricted to) prime, maximal, minimal prime, strongly…
Absolute integral closures of general commutative unital rings are explored. All rings admit absolute integral closures, but in general they are not unique. Among the reduced rings with finitely many minimal prime ideals, finite products of…
Motivated by the concept of clean ideals, we introduce the notion of nil clean ideals of a ring. We define an ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ to be nil clean ideal if every element of $I$ can be written as a sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent…
Many classical ring-theoretic results state that an ideal that is maximal with respect to satisfying a special property must be prime. We present a "Prime Ideal Principle" that gives a uniform method of proving such facts, generalizing the…
This paper mainly focuses on commutative local domains of dimension one. We then obtain a criterion for a ring to have a finite number of trace ideals in terms of integrally closed ideals. We also explore properties of such rings related to…
This paper deals with well-known notion of $PF$-rings, that is, rings in which principal ideals are flat. We give a new characterization of $PF$-rings. Also, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for $R\bowtie I$ (resp., $R/I$…
In this paper, we study the classes of rings in which every proper (regular) ideal can be factored as an invertible ideal times a nonempty product of proper radical ideals. More precisely, we investigate the stability of these properties…
Completely prime right ideals are introduced as a one-sided generalization of the concept of a prime ideal in a commutative ring. Some of their basic properties are investigated, pointing out both similarities and differences between these…
In this paper we study strongly hollow ideals and completely strongly hollow ideals in commutative rings without finiteness assumptions. We establish basic structural properties, including maximality phenomena and permanence under quotients…
Let I be a finitely supported complete m-primary ideal of a regular local ring (R, m). A theorem of Lipman implies that I has a unique factorization as a *-product of special *-simple complete ideals with possibly negative exponents for…
In this paper all rings are commutative. We prove some new results on flat epimorphisms of rings and pointwise localizations. Especially among them, it is proved that a ring $R$ is an absolutely flat (von-Neumann regular) ring if and only…
Let $d_1,...,d_r$ be positive integers and let $I = (F_1,...,F_r)$ be an ideal generated by general forms of degrees $d_1,...,d_r$, respectively, in a polynomial ring $R$ with $n$ variables. When all the degrees are the same we give a…
Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d$. Then every ideal $I$ in the ring of integers ${\mathcal O}_K$ contains infinitely many primitive elements, i.e. elements of degree $d$. A bound on smallest height of such an element in $I$ follows…
We study when $R \to S$ has the property that prime ideals of $R$ extend to prime ideals or the unit ideal of $S$, and the situation where this property continues to hold after adjoining the same indeterminates to both rings. We prove that…
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…
