In this article, the projectivity of finitely generated flat modules of a commutative ring are studied from a topological point of view. Then various interesting results are obtained. For instance, it is shown that if a ring has either a…

Given a reduced, local ring $R$ and an ideal $\mathfrak{a}$ of positive height, we give a decomposition of the test module, $\tau(\omega_T, t^{-\lambda})$, of the extended Rees algebra, $T =R[\mathfrak{a} t, t^{-1}]$. In particular, the…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. Criteria are given which characterize existence of a fine or coarse moduli space classifying, up to isomorphism, the representations of $\Lambda$ with fixed…

This paper develops a categorical framework to clarify the relationship between the completeness and compactness theorems in classical first-order logic. Rather than claiming that different model constructions yield naturally isomorphic…

Let $A$ be a Dedekind domain of characteristic zero such that for each height one prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ in $A$, the local ring $A_{\mathfrak{p}}$ has mixed characteristic with finite residue field. Suppose that $R=A[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ is…

A direct sum decomposition theory is developed for direct summands (and complements) of modules over a semiring $R$, having the property that $v+w = 0$ implies $v = 0$ and $w = 0$. Although this never occurs when $R$ is a ring, it always…

Given free modules $M\subseteq L$ of finite rank $f\geq 1$ over a principal ideal domain $R$, we give a procedure to construct a basis of $L$ from a basis of $M$ assuming the invariant factors or elementary divisors of $L/M$ are known.…

We study acts and modules of maximal growth over finitely generated free monoids and free associative algebras as well as free groups and free group algebras. The maximality of the growth implies some other specific properties of these acts…

We prove model completeness for the theory of addition and the Frobenius map for certain subrings of rational functions in positive characteristic. More precisely: Let $p$ be a prime number, $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ the prime field with $p$…

In this paper we show that the Rees algebra can be made into a functor on modules over a ring in a way that extends its classical definition for ideals. The Rees algebra of a module M may be computed in terms of a "maximal" map f from M to…

The notions of Betti numbers and of Bass numbers of a finite module N over a local ring R are extended to modules that are only assumed to be finite over S, for some local homomorphism f: R --> S. Various techniques are developed to study…

By operations on models we show how to relate completeness with respect to permissive-nominal models to completeness with respect to nominal models with finite support. Models with finite support are a special case of permissive-nominal…

We investigate the class of models of a general dependent theory. We continue math.LO/0702292 in particular investigating so called "decomposition of types"; thesis is that what holds for stable theory and for Th(Q,<) hold for dependent…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring of dimension $d$ and $A$ be a graded $R$-subalgebra of $R[X,1/X]$. Let $P$ be a projective module over $A$ of rank $r \geq \max\{d+1,2\}$ and $\v=(a,p)$ be a unimodular element of $A \oplus P$. We find an…

A celebrated conjecture of Auslander and Reiten claims that a finitely generated module $M$ that has no extensions with $M\oplus \Lambda$ over an Artin algebra $\Lambda$ must be projective. This conjecture is widely open in general, even…

We revisit the concept of a minimal basis through the lens of the theory of modules over a commutative ring $R$. We first review the conditions for the existence of a basis for submodules of $R^n$ where $R$ is a B\'{e}zout domain. Then, we…

We classify the quasi-finite irreducible highest weight modules over the infinite rank Lie superalgebras $\hgltwo$, $\hC$ and $\hD$, and determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for quasi-finite irreducible highest weight modules…

We study the notion of Rickart property in a general module theoretic setting as a generalization to the concept of Baer modules and right Rickart rings. A module $M_{R}$ is called Rickart if the right annihilator in $M_{R}$ of each left…

This paper studies infinite acyclic complexes of finitely generated free modules over a commutative noetherian local ring $(R,m)$ with $m^3=0$. Conclusive results are obtained on the growth of the ranks of the modules in acyclic complexes,…
