Let $F=\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ be the field of rational functions with $\mathbb{F}_q$-coefficients, and $A=\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ be the subring of polynomials. Let $D$ be a division quaternion algebra over $F$ which is split at $1/T$. Given an…

The *reciprocal complement* $R(D)$ of an integral domain $D$ is the subring of its fraction field generated by the reciprocals of its nonzero elements. Many properties of $R(D)$ are determined when $D$ is a polynomial ring in $n\geq 2$…

In this short paper, we will show that the space of real valued uniformly continuous functions defined on a metric space $(X,d)$ is a ring if and only if every subset $A\subset X$ has one of the following properties: $A$ is…

The ring of dual numbers over a ring $R$ is $R[\alpha] = R[x]/(x^2)$, where $\alpha$ denotes $x+(x^2)$. For any finite commutative ring $R$, we characterize null polynomials and permutation polynomials on $R[\alpha]$ in terms of the…

The rank of a ring $R$ is the supremum of minimal cardinalities of generating sets of $I$ as $I$ ranges over ideals of $R$. Matson showed that every positive integer occurs as the rank of some ring $R$. Motivated by the result of Cohen and…

Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring with $1\ne 0$. The set $\mathcal{F}(R)$ of polynomial functions on $R$ is a finite commutative ring with pointwise operations. Its group of units $\mathcal{F}(R)^\times$ is just the set of all…

In this article we mainly consider the positively Z-graded polynomial ring R=F[X,Y] over an arbitrary field F and Hilbert series of finitely generated graded R-modules. The central result is an arithmetic criterion for such a series to be…

We generalize the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem to intersective polynomials over the ring of integers of an algebraic number field, by which we mean polynomials having a common root modulo every ideal. This leads to the existence of new…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a finite valuation ring of order $q^r$. In this paper, we prove that for any quadratic polynomial $f(x,y,z) \in \mathcal{R}[x,y,z]$ that is of the form $axy+R(x)+S(y)+T(z)$ for some one-variable polynomials $R, S , T$,…

For an integer $r$, a prime power $q$, and a polynomial $f$ over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_{q^r}$ of $q^r$ elements, we obtain an upper bound on the frequency of elements in an orbit generated by iterations of $f$ which fall in a proper…

Let $A\subset B$ be an integral ring extension of integral domains with fields of fractions $K$ and $L$, respectively. The integral degree of $A\subset B$, denoted by ${\rm d}_A(B)$, is defined as the supremum of the degrees of minimal…

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 give a negative answer to Problem 19 of Cahen, Fontana, Frisch, and Glaz concerning the flatness and freeness of rings of integer-valued polynomials. We construct an explicit one-dimensional Noetherian local domain D over the field with…

We characterize the downsets of integer partitions (ordered by containment of Ferrers diagrams) and compositions (ordered by the generalized subword order) which have finite dimension in the sense of Dushnik and Miller. In the case of…

This note aims at finding explicit and efficient generation of ideals in subalgebras $R$ of the polynomial ring $S=k[t]$ ($k$ a field) such that $t^{c_0}S \subseteq R$ for some integer $c_0 > 0$. The class of these subalgebras which we call…

Let $D$ be an integral domain with quotient field $K$ and $E$ a subset of $K$. The \textit{ring of integer-valued rational functions on} $E$ is defined as $$\mathrm{int}_R(E,D):=\lbrace \varphi \in K(X);\; \varphi(E)\subseteq D\rbrace.$$…

We study the set of algebraic objects known as vanishing polynomials (the set of polynomials that annihilate all elements of a ring) over general commutative rings with identity. These objects are of special interest due to their close…

Let R > S be finite Frobenius rings for which there exists a trace map T from R onto S as left S modules. Let C:= {x -> T(ax + bf(x)) : a,b in R}. Then C is an S-linear subring-subcode of a left linear code over R. We consider functions f…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and ${P_n=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]}$ the polynomial ring. Any $K$-derivation $D$ on $P_n$ is of the form ${ D=\sum_{i=1}^n f_i(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} },$ where…

A skew polynomial ring $R=K[x;\sigma,\delta]$ is a ring of polynomials with non-commutative multiplication. This creates a difference between left and right divisibility, and thus a concept of left and right evaluations and roots. A…
