Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. For an $R$-module $M$, the notion of strongly prime submodule of $M$ is defined. It is shown that this notion of prime submodule inherits most of the essential properties of the usual notion of…

We generalize the theory of radical factorization from almost Dedekind domain to strongly discrete Pr\"ufer domains; we show that, for a fixed subset $X$ of maximal ideals, the finitely generated ideals with $\mathcal{V}(I)\subseteq X$ have…

Given an ideal $a \subseteq R$ in a (log) $Q$-Gorenstein $F$-finite ring of characteristic $p > 0$, we study and provide a new perspective on the test ideal $\tau(R, a^t)$ for a real number $t > 0$. Generalizing a number of known results…

Let $R$ be a commutative (Noetherian) local ring of prime characteristic $p$ that is $F$-pure. This paper is concerned with comparison of three finite sets of radical ideals of $R$, one of which is only defined in the case when $R$ is…

Let $\mathcal R$ be a principal ideal domain and $\mathcal K = {\rm quot}(\mathcal R)$. Assume that $P_1,\ldots P_n\in \mathcal K[X]$ are polynomials which take $\mathcal R$ to $\mathcal R$, and $P$ is their product. If the $P_i$ satisfy…

Let (R,m) be a regular local ring with prime ideals p and q such that p+q is m-primary and dim(R/p)+dim(R/q)=dim(R). It has been conjectured by Kurano and Roberts that p^{(n)} \cap q \subseteq m^{n+1} for all positive integers n. We discuss…

Arthur Cohn's irreducibility criterion for polynomials with integer coefficients and its generalization connect primes to irreducibles, and integral bases to the variable $x$. As we follow this link, we find that these polynomials are ready…

We show that for fixed $d>3$ and $n$ growing to infinity there are at least $(n!)^{d-2 \pm o(1)}$ different labeled combinatorial types of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices. This is about the square of the previous best lower bounds. As an…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring. We prove that $R$ has global dimension at most two if, and only if, every prime ideal of $R$ is of linear type. Similarly, we show that $R$ has global dimension at most three if, and only if, every prime ideal…

Let n,d be positive integers, with d even (say d=2e). Let X_(n,d) denote the locus of degree d hypersurfaces in P^n which consist of two e-fold hyperplanes. We bound the regularity of the ideal of this variety. Moreover, we show that this…

In the realm of supercommutative superrings, this article investigates the unique factorization of elements. We build upon recent findings by Naser et. al. concerning similar results in noncommutative symmetric rings with zerodivisors,…

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free $\sigma$-prime ring. It is shown here that if $U\not\subset Z(R)$ is a $\sigma$-Lie ideal of $R$ and $a, b$ in $R$ such that $aUb=\sigma(a)Ub=0,$ then either $a=0$ or $b=0.$ This result is then applied to study…

Mukai proved that most prime Fano fourfolds of degree 10 and index 2 are contained in a Grassmannian G(2,5). They are all unirational and some are rational, as remarked by Roth in 1949. We show that their middle cohomology is of K3 type and…

We study the multiplier ideals and the corresponding jumping numbers and multiplicities $\{m(c)\}_{c\in \mathbb{R}}$ in the following context: $(X,o)$ is a complex analytic normal surface singularity, ${\mathfrak a}\subset…

There has arisen in recent years a substantial theory of "multiplier ideals'' in commutative rings. These are integrally closed ideals with properties that lend themselves to highly interesting applications. But how special are they among…

Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, and let u in G be a unipotent element of order p. Suppose that p is a good prime for G. We show in this paper that there is a homomorphism phi:SL_2/k --> G…

Let $R$ be a regular ring, let $J$ be an ideal generated by a regular sequence of codimension at least $2$, and let $I$ be an ideal containing $J$. We give an example of a module $H^3_I(J)$ with infinitely many associated primes, answering…

Let I be a complete m-primary ideal of a regular local ring (R,m). In the case where R has dimension two, the beautiful theory developed by Zariski implies that I factors uniquely as a product of powers of simple complete ideals and each of…

Lyubeznik conjectured that local cohomology modules of regular rings have finitely many associated primes. We examine this conjecture for polynomial rings over the integers, and record some equational identities that arise from studying…

We discuss principality of prime ideals of finite algebraic number fields $L=K(\theta)$ over an algebraic number field $K ([K:\mathbb{Q}]<\infty)$ defined by irreducible polynomials $f(x)\in \mathfrak{O}_{K}[x]$ and $f(\theta)=0$. Our main…
