In 2007, Y. Shimoda, in connection with a long-standing question of J. Sally, asked whether a Noetherian local ring, such that all its prime ideals different from the maximal ideal are complete intersections, has Krull dimension at most…

The existence of ideal objects, such as maximal ideals in nonzero rings, plays a crucial role in commutative algebra. These are typically justified using Zorn's lemma, and thus pose a challenge from a computational point of view. Giving a…

Let $(R,{\frak{m}}_R)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. Assuming that ${\frak{m}}_R=$$I\oplus J$ is a direct sum decomposition, where $I$ and $J$ are non-zero ideals of $R$, we describe the structure of the Tor algebra of $R$ in…

Let $D$ be a two-dimensional regular local ring. We prove there is a one-to-one correspondence between closed connected sets in the space of valuation overrings of $D$ that dominate $D$ and the integrally closed local overrings of $D$ that…

We study a numerical semigroup ring as an algebra over another numerical semigroup ring. The complete intersection property of numerical semigroup algebras is investigated using factorizations of monomials into minimal ones. The goal is to…

Let A and B be integral domains. Suppose A is Noetherian and B is a finitely generated A-algebra that contains A. Denote by A' the integral closure of A in B. We show that A' is determined by finitely many unique discrete valuation rings.…

This paper is about the local geometry of a real surfaces. It introduces machinery for studying families of subsets which are determined by conditions which are similar to base conditions, but also involve positivity/non-negativity. The…

We study rings with infinitely (only finitely) many maximal subrings. We prove that if $M$ is a maximal left/right ideal of a ring $T$ which is not an ideal of $T$, and $R$ is the idealizer of $M$, then $T$ has at least $|R/M|+1$ maximal…

We consider shape optimization problems for general integral functionals of the calculus of variations, defined on a domain $\Omega$ that varies over all subdomains of a given bounded domain $D$ of ${\bf R}^d$. We show in a rather…

Let $R$ be an algebra over a commutative ring $k$. Suppose that $R$ is endowed with a descending filtration indexed on an ordered group $(G,<)$ such that the restriction to $k$ is positive. We show that the existence of free algebras on a…

We develop notions of valuations on a semiring, with a view toward extending the classical theory of abstract nonsingular curves and discrete valuation rings to this general algebraic setting; the novelty of our approach lies in the…

The aim of this work is to study sets of values of fractional ideals of rings of algebroid curves and explore more deeply the symmetry that exists among sets of values of dual pairs of ideals when the ring is Gorenstein. We also express the…

The aim of this paper is to obtain a uniform bound for a certain class of submodules from the following theorem: Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a local ring, let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of dimension $d\ge 1$ and let $\frak q$ be an ideal of $R$…

In this paper, we introduce generalized Gorenstein local (GGL) rings. The notion of GGL rings is a natural generalization of the notion of almost Gorenstein rings, which can thus be treated as part of the theory of GGL rings. For a…

This article is concerned with the number of generators of perfect ideals J in regular local rings (R,m). If J is sufficiently large modulo $m^n$, a bound is established depending only on n and the projective dimension of J. More ambitious…

We generalize certain parts of the theory of group rings to the twisted case. Let G be a finite group acting (possibly trivially) on a field L of characteristic coprime to the order of the kernel of this operation. Let K in L be the fixed…

Let G be a connected split reductive group over a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic. We use the theory of intermediate extensions due to Abe-Caro and arithmetic Beilinson-Bernstein localization to classify irreducible…

We investigate ideal-semisimple and congruence-semisimple semirings. We give several new characterizations of such semirings using e-projective and e-injective semimodules. We extend several characterizations of semisimple rings to (not…

In this paper we extend the characterisation of kernels in semirings as subtractive ideals to general algebras. We then analyse the counterparts of ``subtractive'' and ``ideal'' in several different algebraic settings.

We characterize those valued fields for which the image of the valuation ring under every polynomial in several variables contains an element of maximal value, or zero.
