We study the structure of $D$-modules over a ring $R$ which is a direct summand of a polynomial or a power series ring $S$ with coefficients over a field. We relate properties of $D$-modules over $R$ to $D$-modules over $S$. We show that…

For positive integers d, r, and M, we consider the class of rational functions on real d-dimensional space whose denominators are products of at most r functions of the form 1+Q(x) where each Q is a quadratic form with eigenvalues bounded…

In characteristic zero, Zinovy Reichstein and the author generalized the usual relationship between irreducible Zariski closed subsets of the affine space, their defining ideals, coordinate rings, and function fields, to a non-commutative…

Let $A$ and $B$ be non-constant rational functions over $\mathbb{C}$, and let $K \subset \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ be an infinite set. Using height functions, we prove that the inclusion $ A^{-1}(K) \subseteq B^{-1}(K) $ implies the…

A semiring generalises the notion of a ring, replacing the additive abelian group structure with that of a commutative monoid. In this paper, we study a notion positioned between a ring and a semiring -- a semiring whose additive monoid is…

Various problems on integers lead to the class of congruence preserving functions on rings, i.e. functions verifying $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all $a,b$. We characterized these classes of functions in terms of sums of rational…

Let $S$ be a subset of $\overline{\mathbb Z}$, the ring of all algebraic integers. A polynomial $f \in \mathbb Q[X]$ is said to be integral-valued on $S$ if $f(s) \in \overline{\mathbb Z}$ for all $s \in S$. The set $\text{Int}_{\mathbb…

A commutative ring R has finite rank r, if each ideal of R is generated at most by r elements. A commutative ring R has the r-generator property, if each finitely generated ideal of R can be generated by r elements. Such rings are closely…

Let k be a number field. It is well known that the set of sequences composed by Taylor coefficients of rational functions over k is closed under component-wise operations, and so it can be equipped with a ring structure. A conjecture due to…

Except for a limited number of cases, a complete classification of the Diophantine sets of polynomial rings and fields of rational functions seems out of reach at present. We contribute to this problem by proving that several natural sets…

We give a new definition of the so-called overgenerated rings, which are the usual tool used to define the asymptotic structure of a (C,E,P)-algebra, written as a factor space M_{(A,E,P)}/N_{(I_{A},E,P)}. With this new definition and in the…

Using an extension of the abundancy index to imaginary quadratic rings that are unique factorization domains, we investigate what we call $n$-powerfully $t$-perfect numbers in these rings. This definition serves to extend the concept of…

We develop the theory of minimal realizations and factorizations of rational functions where the coefficient space is a ring of the type introduced in our previous work, the scaled quaternions, which includes as special cases the…

In 1923 Schur considered the following problem. Let f(X) be a polynomial with integer coefficients that induces a bijection on the residue fields Z/pZ for infinitely many primes p. His conjecture, that such polynomials are compositions of…

To study the question of whether every two-dimensional Pr\"ufer domain possesses the stacked bases property, we consider the particular case of the Pr\"ufer domains formed by integer-valued polynomials. The description of the spectrum of…

We present a theory of the $b$-function (or Bernstein-Sato polynomial) in positive characteristic. Let $f$ be a non-constant polynomial with coefficients in a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0.$ Its $b$-function $b_f$ is defined to…

We investigate exponential ideals within the context of exponential polynomial rings over exponential fields. We establish two distinct notions of maximality for exponential ideals and explore their relationship to primeness. These three…

Let $I$ be a regular proper ideal in a Noetherian ring $R$, let $e \ge 2$ be an integer, let $\mathbf T_e = R[u,tI,u^{\frac{1}{e}}]' \cap R[u^{\frac{1}{e}},t^{\frac{1}{e}}]$ (where $t$ is an indeterminate and $u =\frac{1}{t}$), and let…

We establish formulas for computation of the higher algebraic $K$-groups of the endomorphism rings of objects linked by a morphism in an additive category. Let ${\mathcal C}$ be an additive category, and let $Y\ra X$ be a covariant morphism…

In this manuscript we prove the Bernstein inequality and develop the theory of holonomic D-modules for rings of invariants of finite groups in characteristic zero, and for strongly F-regular finitely generated graded algebras with FFRT in…
