We prove that if R is a principal ideal ring and A\in\M_n(R) is a matrix with trace zero, then A is a commutator, that is, A=XY-YX for some X,Y\in\M_n(R). This generalises the corresponding result over fields due to Albert and Muckenhoupt,…

We extend Latimer and MacDuffee's theorem to a general commutative domain and apply this result to study similarity of matrices over integral rings of number fields. We also conjecture similarity over discrete valuation rings can be descent…

We classify $n$-representation infinite algebras $\Lambda$ of type \~A. This type is defined by requiring that $\Lambda$ has higher preprojective algebra $\Pi_{n+1}(\Lambda) \simeq k[x_1, \ldots, x_{n+1}] \ast G$, where $G \leq…

There are well known algorithms to compute the class group of the maximal order $\mathcal{O}_K$ of a number field $K$ and the group of invertible ideal classes of a non-maximal order $R$. In this paper we explain how to compute also the…

We answer two questions posed 1998 in the book 'Arnolds problems'. First, over any field k there is a representative system for the similarity classes of nxn-matrices which is a finite disjoint union of affine subspaces. And second, for n>1…

For a Dedekind domain $D$, let $\mathcal{P}(D)$ be the set of ideals of $D$ that are radical of a principal ideal. We show that, if $D,D'$ are Dedekind domains and there is an order isomorphism between $\mathcal{P}(D)$ and…

We give a definition of a class of Dedekind domains which includes the rings of integers of global fields and give a proof that all rings in this class have finite ideal class group. We also prove that this class coincides with the class of…

We study the existence of maximal ideals in preadditive categories defining an order $\preceq$ between objects, in such a way that if there do not exist maximal objects with respect to $\preceq$, then there is no maximal ideal in the…

Brewer and Heinzer studied the (integral) domains D having the property that each proper ideal A of D has a comaximal ideal factorization with some additional property. They proved that for a domain D, the following are equivalent: (1) Each…

Consider a grade 2 perfect ideal $I$ in $R=k[x_1,\cdots,x_d]$ which is generated by forms of the same degree. Assume that the presentation matrix $\varphi$ is almost linear, that is, all but the last column of $\varphi$ consist of entries…

Let B be a commutative B\'ezout domain B and let MSpec(B) be the maximal spectrum of B. We obtain a Feferman-Vaught type theorem for the class of B-modules. We analyse the definable sets in terms, on one hand, of the definable sets in the…

Let $R$ be a local principal ideal ring of length two, for example, the ring $R=\Z/p^2\Z$ with $p$ prime. In this paper we develop a theory of normal forms for similarity classes in the matrix rings $M_n(R)$ by interpreting them in terms of…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. We exhibit slices of the representation theory of $\Lambda$ that are always classifiable in stringent geometric terms. Namely, we prove that, for any…

Pr\"{u}fer domains and subclasses of integral domains such as Dedekind domains admit characterizations by means of the properties of their ideal lattices. Interestingly, a Leavitt path algebra $L$, in spite of being non-commutative and…

We show that for any finite-dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ of infinite representation type, over a perfect field, there is a bounded principal ideal domain $\Gamma$ and a representation embedding from $\Gamma -$mod into $\Lambda -$mod. As an…

Let W be an associative PI algebra over a field F of characteristic zero, graded by a finite group G. Let id_{G}(W) denote the T-ideal of G-graded identities of W. We prove: 1. {[G-graded PI equivalence]} There exists a field extension K of…

Consider the Deligne-Simpson problem: {\em give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $C_j\subset GL(n,{\bf C})$ (resp. $c_j\subset gl(n,{\bf C})$) so that there exist irreducible $(p+1)$-tuples of…

Let A be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field with the radical nilpotent of index 2. It is shown that A has finitely many conjugacy classes of left ideals if and only if A is of finite representation type provided…

Let $K[HK_{\Theta}]$ denote the Hecke-Kiselman algebra of a finite oriented graph $\Theta$ over an algebraically closed field $K$. All irreducible representations, and the corresponding maximal ideals of $K[HK_{\Theta}]$, are characterized…

We consider the lattice-ordered groups Inv$(R)$ and Div$(R)$ of invertible and divisorial fractional ideals of a completely integrally closed Pr\"ufer domain. We prove that Div$(R)$ is the completion of the group Inv$(R)$, and we show there…
