Idealization of a module $K$ over a commutative ring $S$ produces a ring having $K$ as an ideal, all of whose elements are nilpotent. We develop a method that under suitable field-theoretic conditions produces from an $S$-module $K$ and…

Given a numerical semigroup ring $R=k[\![S]\!]$, an ideal $E$ of $S$ and an odd element $b \in S$, the numerical duplication $S \! \Join^b \! E$ is a numerical semigroup, whose associated ring $k[\![S \! \Join^b \! E]\!]$ shares many…

An associative ring $R$ with identity is left pseudo-morphic if for every $a$$\in$$R$, there exists $b$$\in$$R$ such that $Ra=l_R(b)$. If, in addition, $l_R(a)=Rb$, then $R$ is called left morphic. $R$ is morphic if it is both left and…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a complete Cohen-Macaulay local ring. Assume $A$ is not Gorenstein. We say $A$ is a Teter ring if there exists a complete Gorenstein ring $(B,\mathfrak{n})$ with $\dim B = \dim A$ and a surjective map $B…

An element $a$ of a ring $R$ is called \emph{quasipolar} provided that there exists an idempotent $p\in R$ such that $p\in comm^2(a)$, $a+p\in U(R)$ and $ap\in R^{qnil}$. A ring $R$ is \emph{quasipolar} in case every element in $R$ is…

We classify the pairs $(C,G)$ where $C$ is a seminormal curve over an arbitrary field $k$ and $G$ is a smooth connected algebraic group acting faithfully on $C$ with a dense orbit, and we determine the equivariant Picard group of $C$. We…

Let $T$ be a local (Noetherian) ring and let $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ be prime ideals of $T$. We find sufficient conditions for there to exist a quasi-excellent local subring $B$ of $T$ satisfying the following conditions: (1) the completion of $B$…

Let us say that an $n$-sided polygon is semi-regular if it is circumscriptible and its angles are all equal but possibly one, which is then larger than the rest. Regular polygons, in particular, are semi-regular. We prove that semi-regular…

Let $L$ be a local system on a smooth quasi projective variety over $\cnum$. We see that $L$ is semisimple if and only if there exists a tame pure imaginary pluri-harmonic metric on $L$. Although it is a rather minor refinement of a result…

Suppose M is a complex manifold of dimension $n+1$ and K is a hypersurface in M. By Poincar\'e duality we define a residue morphism $res:H^{k+1}(M\setminus K)\longrightarrow H_{2n-k}(K)$ which generalizes the classical Leray residue…

Let $G$ be the simple algebraic group $\mathrm{SL}_2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$. Using results of A. Parker, we develop a method which gives, for any $q \in \mathbb{N}$, a closed form…

Let (R,m) be a Noetherian local ring of depth d and C a semidualizing R-complex. Let M be a finite R-module and t an integer between 0 and d. If G_C-dimension of M/IM is finite for all ideals I generated by an R-regular sequence of length…

Let G be a connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k, and let H be a connected closed subgroup of G. We prove that the homogeneous variety G/H is a rational variety over k whenever H is solvable, or when dim(G/H)…

Let $R$ be a ring, $\sigma$ an endomorphism of $R$, $I$ a right ideal in $S=R[x;\sigma]$ and $M_R$ a right $R$-module. We give a generalization of McCoy's Theorem \cite{mccoy}, by showing that, if $r_S(I)$ is $\sigma$-stable or…

We give several new criteria for a quasi-projective variety to be affine. In particular, we prove that an algebraic manifold $Y$ with dimension $n$ is affine if and only if $H^i(Y, \Omega^j_Y)=0$ for all $j\geq 0$, $i>0$ and $\kappa(D,…

Let $\mathfrak{q}$ denote an ideal of a local ring $(A,\mathfrak{m})$. For a system of elements $\underline{a} = a_1,\ldots,a_t$ such that $a_i \in \mathfrak{q}^{c_i}, i = 1, \ldots,t,$ and $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ we investigate a subcomplex…

In this note we show that a ring R is left perfect if and only if every left R-module is weakly supplemented if and only if R is semilocal and the radical of the countably infinite free left R-module has a weak supplement.

We classify germs at the origin of real analytic Lorentz metrics on R^3 which are quasihomogeneous, in the sense that they are locally homogeneous on an open set containing the origin in its closure, but not locally homogeneous in the…

This paper considers the following conjecture: If $R$ is an unmixed, equidimensional local ring that is a homomorphic image of a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, then for any ideal $J$ generated by a system of parameters, the Chern coefficient…

Let $H$ be a numerical semigroup minimally generated by an almost arithmetic sequence. We give a description of a possible row-factorization $(\RF)$ matrix for each pseudo-Frobenius element of $H.$ Further, when $H$ is symmetric and has…
