An integral domain is called {\em Globalized multiplicatively pinched-Dedekind domain $($GMPD domain$)$} if every nonzero non-invertible ideal can be written as $JP_1\cdots P_k$ with $J$ invertible ideal and $P_1,...,P_k$ distinct ideals…
The Region Connection Calculus (RCC) is a well-known calculus for representing part-whole and topological relations. It plays an important role in qualitative spatial reasoning, geographical information science, and ontology. The…
Polarizable atoms interacting with a charged wire do so through an inverse-square potential, $V = - g/r^2$. This system is known to realize scale invariance in a nontrivial way and to be subject to ambiguities associated with the choice of…
Living systems maintain stable internal states despite environmental fluctuations. Absolute concentration robustness (ACR) is a striking homeostatic phenomenon in which the steady-state concentration of a species remains invariant despite…
Ado's Theorem had been extended to principal ideal domains independently by Churkin and Weigel. They demonstrated that if $R$ is a principal ideal domain of characteristic zero and $\mathfrak{L}$ is a Lie algebra over $R$ which is also a…
Concrete domains have been introduced in the context of Description Logics to allow references to qualitative and quantitative values. In particular, the class of $\omega$-admissible concrete domains, which includes Allen's interval…
In four classes of materials, the layered copper-oxides, organics, iron-pnictides and heavy-fermion compounds, an unconventional superconducting state emerges as a magnetic transition is tuned toward absolute zero temperature, that is,…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The structure theorem says that $R$ is a PIR (resp., UFR, general ZPI-ring, $\pi$-ring) if and only if $R$ is a finite direct product of PIDs (resp., UFDs, Dedekind domains, $\pi$-domains) and…
We study the semigroup C*-algebra of a positive cone P of a weakly quasi-lattice ordered group. That is, P is a subsemigroup of a discrete group G with P\cap P^{-1}=\{e\} and such that any two elements of P with a common upper bound in P…
In the first section of the paper, we will give some basic definitions and properties about Crystalline Graded Rings. In the following section we will provide a general description of the center. Afterwards, the case where the grading group…
We study the problem of existence of essential indecomposable submodules of direct sums of copies of the ring of quotients of Ore domains. We provide, for each Ore domain $D$, with at least three non-associate irreducibles, a lower bound…
We introduce the nuclear dimension of a C*-algebra; this is a noncommutative version of topological covering dimension based on a modification of the earlier concept of decomposition rank. Our notion behaves well with respect to inductive…
A critical milestone on the path to useful quantum computers is quantum supremacy - a demonstration of a quantum computation that is prohibitively hard for classical computers. A leading near-term candidate, put forth by the Google/UCSB…
Regarding non-unique factorization of integer-valued polynomials over a discrete valuation domain $(R,M)$ with finite residue field, it is known that there exist absolutely irreducible elements, that is, irreducible elements all of whose…
Atomic Commit Problem (ACP) is a single-shot agreement problem similar to consensus, meant to model the properties of transaction commit protocols in fault-prone distributed systems. We argue that ACP is too restrictive to capture the…
Let $A$ be an integral domain. We study new conditions on families of integral ideals of $A$ in order to get that $A$ is of $t$-finite character (i.e., each nonzero element of $A$ is contained in finitely many $t$-maximal ideals). We also…
We introduce a 3-dimensional categorical structure which we call intercategory. This is a kind of weak triple category with three kinds of arrows, three kinds of 2-dimensional cells and one kind of 3-dimensional cells. In one dimension, the…
A ring is *unit-additive* if a sum of units is always either a unit or nilpotent. For example, $k[X]$ and $k[X]/(X^2)$ are unit-additive, but $\mathbb Z$ is not. We prove a wide-ranging theorem about unit-additivity in semigroup rings,…
It is well known that a domain without proper strongly divisorial ideals is completely integrally closed. In this paper we show that a domain without {\em prime} strongly divisorial ideals is not necessarily completely integrally closed,…
Let $\Gamma$ be a torsionless commutative cancellative monoid, $R =\bigoplus_{\alpha \in \Gamma}R_{\alpha}$ be a $\Gamma$-graded integral domain, and $H$ be the set of nonzero homogeneous elements of $R$. In this paper, we show that if $Q$…
