In this paper, we consider the problem of how to establish algebraic structures on nearness approximation spaces. Essentially, our approach is to define the nearness ring, nearness ideal and nearness ring of all weak cosets by considering…
In this survey paper we give an historical and at the same time thematical overview of the development of ring geometry from its origin to the current state of the art. A comprehensive up-to-date list of literature is added with articles…
A cover by left ideals of an associative (not necessarily commutative or unital) ring $R$ is a collection of proper left ideals whose set-theoretic union equals $R$. If such a cover exists, then $\eta_\ell(R)$ is the cardinality of a…
Gr\"obner bases are a fundamental tool when studying ideals in multivariate polynomial rings. More recently there has been a growing interest in transferring techniques from the field case to other coefficient rings, most notably Euclidean…
These notes contain a brief introduction to rational homotopy theory: its model category foundations, the Sullivan model and interactions with the theory of local commutative rings.
In this paper, a transform approach is used for polycyclic and serial codes over finite local rings in the case that the defining polynomials have no multiple roots. This allows us to study them in terms of linear algebra and invariant…
We review the definition of D-rings introduced by H. Gunji & D. L. MacQuillan. We provide an alternative characterization for such rings that allows us to give an elementary proof of that a ring of algebraic integers is a D-ring. Moreover,…
We describe the ideals, especially the prime ideals, of semirings of polynomials over layered domains, and in particular over supertropical domains. Since there are so many of them, special attention is paid to the ideals arising from…
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 $D^E=\prod_{e\in E}D$.…
The aim of this paper is to study some distinguished classes of $k$-ideals of semirings, which include $k$-prime, $k$-semiprime, $k$-radical, $k$-irreducible, and $k$-strongly irreducible ideals. We discuss some of the properties of…
Cox rings of normal varieties are factorially graded, i.e. homogeneous elements allow a unique decomposition into homogeneous factors. We study this property from an algebraic point of view and give a criterion which in a sense reduces it…
We describe all possible ways how a ring can be expressed as the union of three of its proper subrings. This is an analogue for rings of a 1926 theorem of Scorza about groups. We then determine the minimal number of proper subrings of the…

In what follows we generalize the notion of a complemented ring to rings that are not necessarily reduced. We then determine how our concepts fit in with other well-known classes of rings.
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. An ideal $I$ of $R$ is said to be a big ideal (resp. an upper big ideal) if whenever $J\subsetneqq I$ (resp. $I\subsetneqq J$), $J^{n}\subsetneqq I^{n}$ (resp. $I^{n}\subsetneqq J^{n}$) for every…
Several aspects of fusion rings and fusion rule algebras, and of their manifestations in twodimensional (conformal) field theory, are described: diagonalization and the connection with modular invariance; the presentation in terms of…
Given an integer $n$, we introduce the integral Lie ring of partitions with bounded maximal part, whose elements are in one-to-one correspondence to integer partitions with parts in $\{1,2,\dots, n-1\}$. Starting from an abelian subring, we…
This paper contains the results collected so far on polynomial composites in terms of many basic algebraic properties. Since it is a polynomial structure, results for monoid domains come in here and there. The second part of the paper…
In this article we overview those aspects of the theory of affine semigroups and their algebras that have been relevant for our own research, and pose several open problems. Answers to these problems would contribute substantially to the…
The fusion rules and modular matrix of a rational conformal field theory obey a list of properties. We use these properties to classify rational conformal field theories with not more than six primary fields and small values of the fusion…
