Suppose $I$ is an ideal of a polynomial ring over a field, $I\subseteq k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, and whenever $fg\in I$ with degree $\leq b$, then either $f\in I$ or $g\in I$. When $b$ is sufficiently large, it follows that $I$ is prime.…
Normal ideals on regular uncountable cardinals are familiar objects. We investigate ideals that are pleasant--while a normal ideal is closed under arbitrary diagonal unions, a pleasant ideal is closed only under diagonal unions indexed by…
We determine the defining equations of the Rees algebra and of the special fiber ring of the ideal of maximal minors of a $2\times n$ sparse matrix. We prove that their initial algebras are ladder determinantal rings. This allows us to show…
Let $\ast $ be a finite character star operation defined on an integral domain $D.$ Call a nonzero $\ast $-ideal $I$ of finite type a $\ast $ -homogeneous ($\ast $-homog) ideal, if $I\subsetneq D$ and $(J+K)^{\ast }\neq D$ for every pair…
Let ${\mathfrak g}$ be a finite dimensional complex simple Lie algebra, and let $r,s\in \mathbb{C}^{\ast}$ be transcendental over $\mathbb{Q}$ such that $r^{m}s^{n}=1$ implies $m=n=0$. We will obtain some basic properties of the…
We will prove that if $G$ and $H$ are modules over a principal ideal domain $R$ such that the endomorphism rings $\mathrm{End}_R(R\oplus G)$ and $\mathrm{End}_R(R\oplus H)$ are isomorphic then $G\cong H$. Conversely, if $R$ is a Dedekind…
In this paper, we investigate 2-absorbing ideals of commutative semirings and prove that if $\mathfrak{a}$ is a nonzero proper ideal of a subtractive valuation semiring $S$ then $\mathfrak{a}$ is a 2-absorbing ideal of $S$ if and only if…
A commutative integral domain is primary if and only if it is one-dimensional and local. A domain is strongly primary if and only if it is local and each nonzero principal ideal contains a power of the maximal ideal. Hence one-dimensional…
We determine criteria for the prime spectrum of an ambiskew polynomial algebra $R$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ to be akin to those of two of the principal examples of such an algebra, namely the universal enveloping algebra…
Consider the rational map $\phi: \mathbb{P}^{n-1}_{\mathbf k} \stackrel{[f_0:\cdots: f_n]}{\longrightarrow} \mathbb{P}^{n}_{\mathbf k}$ defined by homogeneous polynomials $f_0,\dots,f_n$ of the same degree $d$ in a polynomial ring…
Let $G$ be a nilpotent-by-finite compact $p$-adic analytic group for some $p>2$, and $H = \mathbf{FN}_p(G)$ its finite-by-(nilpotent $p$-valuable) radical. Fix a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$, and write $kG$ for the completed group…
Ideals generated by adjacent 2-minors are studied. First, the problem when such an ideal is a prime ideal as well as the problem when such an ideal possesses a quadratic Gr\"obner basis is solved. Second, we describe explicitly a primary…
Let $R$ be an excellent regular ring of dimension $d$ containing a field $K$ of characteristic zero. Let $I$ be an ideal in $R$. We show that $Ass \ H^{d-1}_I(R)$ is a finite set. As an application we show that if $I$ is an ideal of height…
Let (T,m) be a complete local (Notherian) ring, C a finite set of pairwise incomparable nonmaximal prime ideals of T, and p a nonzero element. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for T to be the completion of an integral domain A…
We introduce the the normal reduction number of two-dimensional normal singularities and prove that elliptic singularity has normal reduction number two. We also prove that for a two-dimensional normal singularity which is not rational, it…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ and let $C/k$ be a smooth connected affine curve. Denote by $\pi_1(C)$ its algebraic fundamental group. The goal of this paper is to characterize a certain subset of closed…
The main focus of this paper is on the problem of relating an ideal $I$ in the polynomial ring $\mathbb Q[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ to a corresponding ideal in $\mathbb F_p[x_1,\dots, x_n]$ where $p$ is a prime number; in other words, the…
An ideal I of a commutative ring R is said to be irreducible if it cannot be written as the intersection of two larger ideals. A proper ideal I of a ring R is said to be strongly irreducible if for each ideals J, K of R, J\cap K\subseteq I…
We present a proof that all straight domains are locally divided$\unicode{x2014}$thereby answering two open problems posed by Dobbs and Picavet, which appeared in the survey "Open Problems in Commutative Ring Theory" written by Cahen,…
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,…
