Let R be a ring with the set of nilpotents Nil(R). We prove that the following are equivalent: (i) Nil(R) is additively closed, (ii) Nil(R) is multiplicatively closed and R satisfies Koethe's conjecture, (iii) Nil(R) is closed under the…

We show that several Morita equivalence classes of tame algebras do not occur as blocks of finite groups. This refines classifications by Erdmann of classes of blocks with dihedral, semidihedral, and generalised quaternion defect groups. In…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. Under various hypotheses, it is proved that the center of $\mbox{End}_R(M)$ coincides with the endomorphism ring of the trace ideal of $M$. These results are…

We show that there exist noncommutative Ore extensions in which every right ideal is two-sided. This answers a problem posed by Marks in Duo Rings and Ore extensions, J.Algebra 280(2), (2004). We also provide an easy construction of one…

We begin by investigating the class of commutative unital rings in which no two distinct elements divide the same elements. We prove that this class forms a finitely axiomatizable, relatively ideal distributive quasivariety, and it equals…

$(1)$ Let $M\subset N$ be a commutative cancellative torsion-free and subintegral extension of monoids. Then we prove that in the case of ring extension $A[M]\subset A[N]$, the two notions, subintegral and weakly subintegral coincide…

We study conditions on polynomials such that the ideal generated by their orbits under the symmetric group action becomes a monomial ideal or has a monomial radical. If the polynomials are homogeneous, we expect that such an ideal has a…

We identify minimal cases in which a power $m^i\not=0$ of the maximal ideal of a local ring $R$ is not Golod, i.e.\ the quotient ring $R/m^i$ is not Golod. Complementary to a 2014 result by Rossi and \c{S}ega, we prove that for a generic…

We prove that the ring of polynomials in several commuting indeterminates over a nil ring cannot be homomorphically mapped onto a ring with identity, i.e. it is Brown-McCoy radical. It answers a question posed by Puczylowski and…

We use George Bergman's recent normal form for universally adjoining an inner inverse to show that, for general rings, a nilpotent regular element $x$ need not be unit-regular. This contrasts sharply with the situation for nilpotent regular…

We give an example of a Morita algebra $A$ with a tilting module $T$ such that the algebra $End_A(T)$ has dominant dimension at least two but is not a Morita algebra. This provides a counterexample to a conjecture by Chen and Xi from…

This work is a review of results about centrally essential rings and semirings. A ring (resp., semiring) is said to be centrally essential if it is either commutative or satisfy the property that for any non-central element $a$, there exist…

For a commutative ring $R$, in contrast to the completion in the sense of Bousfield and Kan at just a prime integer, there cannot exist spaces which are good and bad in an arbitrary way.

If $f$ is an idempotent in a ring $\Lambda$, then we find sufficient \linebreak conditions which imply that the cohomology rings $\oplus_{n\ge 0}Ext^n_{\Lambda}(\Lambda/{\br},\Lambda/{\br})$ and \linebreak $\oplus_{n\ge 0}Ext^n_{f\Lambda…

Associative rings A, B are called Morita equivalent when the categories of left modules over them are equivalent. We call two classical linear operads P, Q Morita equivalent if the categories of algebras over them are equivalent. We…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra and $\mathfrak{A}$ a two-sided idempotent ideal of $\Lambda$, that is, $\mathfrak{A}$ is the trace of a projective $\Lambda$-module $P$ in $\Lambda$. We consider the categories of finitely generated modules…

Idempotents dominate the structure theory of rings. The Peirce decomposition induced by an idempotent provides a natural environment for defining and classifying new types of rings. This point of view offers a way to unify and to expand the…

A ring $R$ is nil-clean if every element in $R$ is the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent. A ring $R$ is abelian if every idempotent is central. We prove that if $R$ is abelian then $M_n(R)$ is nil-clean if and only if $R/J(R)$ is Boolean…

We consider the following question concerning the equality of ordinary and symbolic powers of ideals. In a regular local ring, if the ordinary and symbolic powers of a one-dimensional prime ideal are the same up to its height, then are they…

Given a Cohen-Macaulay local ring, the cohomology annihilator ideal and the annihilator of the stable category of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules are two ideals closely related both with each other and the singularities of the ring. Kimura…
