Given an ideal $I$ in a commutative ring $A$, a divided power structure on $I$ is a collection of maps $\{\gamma_n \colon I \to A\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$, subject to axioms that imply that it behaves like the family $\{x \mapsto…

Commutative semirings with divisible additive semigroup are studied. We show that an additively divisible commutative semiring is idempotent, provided that it is finitely generated and torsion. In case that a one-generated additively…

A ring $R$ is (strongly) 2-nil-clean if every element in $R$ is the sum of two idempotents and a nilpotent (that commute). Fundamental properties of such rings are discussed. Let $R$ be a 2-primal ring. If $R$ is strongly 2-nil-clean, we…

A loop is automorphic if its inner mappings are automorphisms. Using so-called associated operations, we show that every commutative automorphic loop of odd prime power order is centrally nilpotent. Starting with anisotropic planes in the…

Metacirculants are a basic and well-studied family of vertex-transitive graphs, and weak metacirculants are generalizations of them. A graph is called a weak metacirculant if it has a vertex-transitive metacyclic automorphism group. This…

We prove that a periodic orbit $P$ with coprime over-rotation pair is an over-twist periodic orbit iff the $P$-linear map has the over-rotation interval with left endpoint equal to the over-rotation number of $P$. We then show that this…

In this paper, we show that a completely positive linear map is weakly nuclear if and only if its complexification is weakly nuclear. It is shown that a real $C^*$-algebra is exact if and only if its complexification is exact and similar…

We study the problem of when a periodic square matrix of order $n$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$ is decomposable into the sum of a square-zero matrix and a torsion matrix, and show that this decomposition can always be obtained for…

Let $A_1,\ldots,A_s$ be unitary commutative rings which do not have non-trivial idempotents and let $A=A_1\oplus\cdots\oplus A_s$ be their direct sum. We describe all idempotents in the $2\times 2$ matrix ring $M_2(A[[X]])$ over the ring…

Metacirculants are a rich resource of many families of interesting graphs, and weak metacirculants are generalizations of them. A graph is called a {\em split weak metacirculant} if it has a vertex-transitive split metacyclic automorphism…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ be the finite field with $q^n$ elements, where $n>1$. We introduce the class of the linearized polynomials $L(x)$ over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ such that…

Periods are defined as integrals of semialgebraic functions defined over the rationals. Periods form a countable ring not much is known about. Examples are given by taking the antiderivative of a power series which is algebraic over the…

We study the transmission properties of a few-site Hubbard rings with up to second-nearest neighbor coupling embedded to a ring-shaped lead using exact diagonalization. The approach captures all the correlation effects and enables us to…

An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is called left N-reflexive if for any $a\in$ nil$(R)$, $b\in R$, being $aRb \subseteq I$ implies $bRa \subseteq I$ where nil$(R)$ is the set of all nilpotent elements of $R$. The ring $R$ is called left…

We study permutability properties of matrix semigroups over commutative bipotent semirings (of which the best-known example is the tropical semiring). We prove that every such semigroup is weakly permutable (a result previous stated in the…

A classic result of Delsarte connects the strength (as orthogonal array) of a linear code with the minimum weight of its dual: the former is one less than the latter. We show that Delsarte's observation extends to codes over arbitrary…

We consider in-depth and characterize in certain aspects those rings whose non-units are strongly nil-clean in the sense that they are a sum of commuting nilpotent and idempotent. In addition, we examine those rings in which the non-units…

We introduce and study the so-called {\it weakly $\sqrt{J}U$ rings} (hereafter abbreviated as {\it $W\sqrt{J}U$ rings} for short), in which every unit is of the form $j+1$ or $j-1$ for some $j$ in $\sqrt{J(R)} : = \{x \in R : x^n \in J(R)…

Let A be a commutative ring and E a non-zero A-module. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the trivial ring extension R of A by E to be either arithmetical or Gaussian. The possibility for R to be B{\'e}zout is also studied,…

Fix a field F. A zero-nonzero pattern A is said to be potentially nilpotent over F if there exists a matrix with entries in F with zero-nonzero pattern A that allows nilpotence. In this paper we initiate an investigation into which…
