Let $D$ be a domain and $M$ a maximal ideal of $D$. The ring of integer-valued polynomials on a subset $E$ of $D$, as well as more general rings of functions from $E$ to $D$, can be viewed as subrings of the product $D^E=\prod_{e\in E}D$.…

We describe the prime ideals and, in particular, the maximal ideals in products $R = \prod D_\lambda$ of families $(D_\lambda)_{\lambda \in \Lambda}$ of commutative rings. We show that every maximal ideal is induced by an ultrafilter on the…

The main scope of this paper is to introduce valuation semirings in general and discrete valuation semirings in particular. In order to do that, first we define valuation maps and investigate them. Then we define valuation semirings with…

The primary purpose of this paper is give a classification scheme for the nonzero primes of a Pr\"ufer domain based on five properties. A prime $P$ of a Pr\"ufer domain $R$ could be sharp or not sharp, antesharp or not, divisorial or not,…

Let $A$ be an integral domain. We study new conditions on families of integral ideals of $A$ in order to get that $A$ is of $t$-finite character (i.e., each nonzero element of $A$ is contained in finitely many $t$-maximal ideals). We also…

Semi-free ideal rings, or semifirs, were introduced by Paul M. Cohn to study universal localizations in the non-commutative setting. We provide new examples of semifirs consisting of analytic functions in several non-commuting variables.…

Let $D$ be an integrally closed domain with quotient field $K$ and $n$ a positive integer. We give a characterization of the polynomials in $K[X]$ which are integer-valued over the set of matrices $M_n(D)$ in terms of their divided…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a complete local ring to be the completion of a noncatenary local (Noetherian) domain, as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for it to be the completion of a noncatenary local…

Let $D$ be an integral domain and $X$ an indeterminate over $D$. It is well known that (a) $D$ is quasi-Pr\"ufer (i.e, its integral closure is a Pr\"ufer domain) if and only if each upper to zero $Q$ in $D[X] $ contains a polynomial $g \in…

Suppose that $R$ is a local domain essentially of finite type over a field of characteristic 0, and $\nu$ a valuation of the quotient field of $R$ which dominates $R$. The rank of such a valuation often increases upon extending the…

In a valuation domain $(V,M)$ every nonzero finitely generated ideal $J$ is principal and so, in particular, $J=J^t$, hence the maximal ideal $M$ is a $t$-ideal. Therefore, the $t$-local domains (i.e., the local domains, with maximal ideal…

Let $R$ be a normal Noetherian local domain of Krull dimension two. We examine intersections of rank one discrete valuation rings that birationally dominate $R$. We restrict to the class of prime divisors that dominate $R$ and show that if…

Arithmetic valuations are intimately connected with the structure of the ideals of a commutative ring. We show how the generalized idempotent semiring valuations of Jeffrey and Noah Giansiracusa can be used to make this connection explicit.…

We consider the Whitehead problem for principal ideal domains of large size. It is proved, in ZFC, that some p.i.d.'s of size >= aleph_{2} have non-free Whitehead modules even though they are not complete discrete valuation rings.

We study stable semistar operations defined over a Pr\"ufer domain, showing that, if every ideal of a Pr\"ufer domain $R$ has only finitely many minimal primes, every such closure can be described through semistar operations defined on…

It is proved that if $R$ is a valuation domain with maximal ideal $P$ and if $R_L$ is countably generated for each prime ideal $L$, then $R^R$ is separable if and only $R_J$ is maximal, where $J=\cap_{n\in\mathbb{N}}P^n$.

Given an integral domain $D$ with quotient field $K$, the ring of integer-valued polynomials on D is the subring $\{f (X) \in K[X]: f(D) \subset D\}$ of the polynomial ring $K[X]$. Using the related tools of $t$-closure and associated…

Given a square matrix $A$ with entries in a commutative ring $S$, the ideal of $S[X]$ consisting of polynomials $f$ with $f(A) =0$ is called the null ideal of $A$. Very little is known about null ideals of matrices over general commutative…

Let B be a commutative B\'ezout domain B and let MSpec(B) be the maximal spectrum of B. We obtain a Feferman-Vaught type theorem for the class of B-modules. We analyse the definable sets in terms, on one hand, of the definable sets in the…

We prove an assortment of results on (commutative and unital) NIP rings, especially $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebras. Let $R$ be a NIP ring. Then every prime ideal or radical ideal of $R$ is externally definable, and every localization $S^{-1}R$ is…
