The set of natural integers is fundamental for at least two reasons: it is the free induction algebra over the empty set (and at such allows definitions of maps by primitive recursion) and it is the free monoid over a one-element set, the…

Let E be a number field and G be a finite group. Let A be any O_E-order of full rank in the group algebra E[G] and X be a (left) A-lattice. In a previous article, we gave a necessary and sufficient condition for X to be free of given rank d…

Let $p$ be a prime, and $F$ a non-archimedean local field with residue characteristic $p$ and ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{F}$. Set $G_{S}:={\rm SL}_{2}(F)$and $K_{0}:={\rm SL}_{2}(\mathcal{O}_{F})$ . For a smooth irreducible…

We use hyperbolic towers to answer some model theoretic questions around the generic type in the theory of free groups. We show that all the finitely generated models of this theory realize the generic type $p_0$, but that there is a…

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.

In this paper we study algebras of modular forms on unitary groups of signature $(n,1)$. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an algebra of unitary modular forms to be free in terms of the modular Jacobian. As a corollary we…

Based on an analogue for systems of partial isomorphisms between lower sections in a complemented modular lattice we prove that principal right ideals $aR \cong bR$ in a (von Neumann) regular ring $R$ are perspective if $aR \cap bR$ is of…

Let M, N be free modules over a Noetherian commutative ring R and let F be a field such that card(F) does not exceed the continuum. Then : (1) The assertion that [Any two F-vector spaces with isomorphic duals are isomorphic] is equivallent…

We prove that the property Add$(M)\subseteq$ Prod$(M)$ characterizes $\Sigma$-algebraically compact modules if $|M|$ is not $\omega$-measurable. Moreover, under a large cardinal assumption, we show that over any ring $R$ where $|R|$ is not…

For any non-zero finite module M of finite projective dimension over a noetherian local ring R with maximal ideal m and residue field k, it is proved that the natural map Ext_R(k,M)-->Ext_R(k,M/mM) is non-zero when R is regular and is zero…

Ado's Theorem had been extended to principal ideal domains independently by Churkin and Weigel. They demonstrated that if $R$ is a principal ideal domain of characteristic zero and $\mathfrak{L}$ is a Lie algebra over $R$ which is also a…

Can there be a structure space-type theory for an arbitrary class of ideals of a ring? The ideal spaces introduced in this paper allows such a study and our theory includes (but not restricted to) prime, maximal, minimal prime, strongly…

The essentially non-free spectrum is the class of uncountable cardinals kappa in which there is an essentially non-free algebra of cardinality kappa which is almost free. In L, the essentially non-free spectrum of a variety is entirely…

Let R be a ring and G a group. An R-module A is said to be artinian-by-(finite rank) if TorR(A) is artinian and A/TorR(A) has finite R-rank. The authors study ZG-modules A such that A/CA(H) is artinian-by-(finite rank) (as a Z-module) for…

Let $K\left\langle X \right\rangle$ denote the free associative algebra generated by a set $X = \{x_1, \dots, x_n\}$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$. Let $I_p$, for $p \geq 2$, denote the two-sided ideal in $K\left\langle X…

We study classes of modules closed under direct sums, $\mathcal{M}$-submodules and $\mathcal{M}$-epimorphic images where $\mathcal{M}$ is either the class of embeddings, $RD$-embeddings or pure embeddings. We show that the…

Fix a commutative monoid $(T,+,0)$, a commutative monoid $(\Gamma,+,0_\Gamma)$, and a map \[ (a,\alpha,b,\beta,c)\longmapsto a\,\alpha\,b\,\beta\,c\in T \] which is additive in each variable and associative in the ternary sense. A left…

This thesis concerns the algebraic consequences of Freyd's Generating Hypothesis, and explores the question of whether there exists a self-injective ring R that can be constructed purely algebraically that exhibits some of the known…

We study the structure of bounded simple weight $\mathfrak{sl}(\infty)$-, $\mathfrak{o}(\infty)$-, $\mathfrak{sp}(\infty)$-modules, which have been recently classified in [6]. Given a splitting parabolic subalgebra $\mathfrak{p}$ of…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. We exhibit slices of the representation theory of $\Lambda$ that are always classifiable in stringent geometric terms. Namely, we prove that, for any…
