We extend results of Denef, Zahidi, Demeyer and the second author to show the following. (1) Rational integers have a single-fold Diophantine definition over the ring of integral functions of any function field of characteristic 0. (2)…
An Ulam sequence U(1,n) is defined as the sequence starting with integers 1,n such that n > 1, and such that every subsequent term is the smallest integer that can be written as the sum of distinct previous terms in exactly one way. This…
In this paper we solve in the positive the question of whether any finite set of integers, containing the zero, is the mapping degree set between two oriented closed connected manifolds of the same dimension. We extend this question to the…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. An element $r \in R$ is said to be absolutely irreducible in $R$ if for all natural numbers $n>1$, $r^n$ has essentially only one factorization namely $r^n = r \cdots r$. If $r \in R$ is…
An infinite permutation is a linear ordering of the set of non-negative integers. Generally, the properties of infinite permutations analogous to those of infinite words show some resemblances and some differences between permutations and…
In the course of studies of the measure of chaos for the distribution of the prime numbers among the positive integers N arched structures have been found. It is given a brief description of the fine structure of the positive integers…
We know that any finite abelian group $G$ appears as a subgroup of infinitely many multiplicative groups $\mathbb{Z}_n^\times$ (the abelian groups of size $\phi(n)$ that are the multiplicative groups of units in the rings…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with nonzero identity. A. Yassine et al. defined in the paper (Yassine, Nikmehr and Nikandish, 2020), the concept of $1$-absorbing prime ideals as follows: a proper ideal $I$ of $R$ is said to be a…
Numerical semigroup rings are investigated from the relative viewpoint. It is known that algebraic properties such as singularities of a numerical semigroup ring are properties of a flat numerical semigroup algebra. In this paper, we show…
This paper unifies several generalizations of coherent rings in one notion. Namely, we introduce $n$-$\mathscr{X}$-coherent rings, where $\mathscr{X}$ is a class of modules and $n$ is a positive integer, as those rings for which the…
The aim of this project is to attach a geometric structure to the ring of integers. It is generally assumed that the spectrum $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$ defined by Grothendieck serves this purpose. However, it is still not clear what…
A semiring can be ``completed'' (i.e., embedded into a semiring in which all infinite sums are defined and satisfy some reasonable properties) iff this semiring can be naturally partially ordered. This construction is ``natural'' (a left…
We consider the sum of squares function in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$. We determine formulae in a number of cases when $n$ is a power of a prime.
We study discrete orderings in the real spectrum of a commutative ring by defining discrete prime cones and give an algebro-geometric meaning to some kind of diophantine problems over discretely ordered rings. Also for a discretely ordered…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the finite separability of finitely generated commutative rings. Namely, we prove that every such ring is a finite extension of its torsion ideal $I_k$ where $k$ is square-free, and $I_k$ is a…
We study the numeration system with negative basis, introduced by Ito and Sadahiro. We focus on arithmetic operations in the set ${\rm Fin}(-\beta)$ and $\Z_{-\beta}$ of numbers having finite resp. integer $(-\beta)$-expansions. We show…
We identify an interesting special class of prime ideals in the finitary infinite symmetric group algebra. We show that the set of such ideals carries a semiring structure. Over the complex numbers, we establish a connection with spherical…
A cover of an associative (not necessarily commutative nor unital) ring $R$ is a collection of proper subrings of $R$ whose set-theoretic union equals $R$. If such a cover exists, then the covering number $\sigma(R)$ of $R$ is the…
In the present article, we introduce beta-expansions in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_p$ of $p$-adic integers. We characterise the sets of numbers with eventually periodic and finite expansions.
In this paper, we compare $(n,m)$-purities for different pairs of positive integers $(n,m)$. When $R$ is a commutative ring, these purities are not equivalent if $R$ doesn't satisfy the following property: there exists a positive integer…
