We generalize the notion of and results on maximal proper quadratic modules from commutative unital rings to $\ast$-rings and discuss the relation of this generalization to recent developments in noncommutative real algebraic geometry. The…

In this paper we study commutative rings $R$ whose prime ideals are direct sums of cyclic modules. In the case $R$ is a finite direct product of commutative local rings, the structure of such rings is completely described. In particular, it…

In this paper we prove that if $R$ is a commutative refinement ring and $M$, $N$ are two $R$-modules then, $M\cong N$ if and only if for every maximal ideal $m$ of $R$, $M_m\cong N_m$. We prove if $R$ is a refinement ring, then every…

A semigroup $S$ is said to be right pseudo-finite if the universal right congruence can be generated by a finite set $U\subseteq S\times S$, and there is a bound on the length of derivations for an arbitrary pair $(s,t)\in S\times S$ as a…

We study when $R \to S$ has the property that prime ideals of $R$ extend to prime ideals or the unit ideal of $S$, and the situation where this property continues to hold after adjoining the same indeterminates to both rings. We prove that…

Fixed-size commutative rings are quasi-ordered such that all scalar linearly solvable networks over any given ring are also scalar linearly solvable over any higher-ordered ring. As consequences, if a network has a scalar linear solution…

Let $I$ be a square-free monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $R=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ over a field $K$, $\mathfrak{m}=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be the graded maximal ideal of $R$, and $\{u_1, \ldots, u_{\beta_1(I)}\}$ be a maximal independent set…

We study integrality over rings (all commutative in this paper) and over ideal semifiltrations (a generalization of integrality over ideals). We begin by reproving classical results, such as a version of the "faithful module" criterion for…

We study prime ideals in skew power series rings $T:=R[[y;\tau,\delta]]$, for suitably conditioned right noetherian complete semilocal rings $R$, automorphisms $\tau$ of $R$, and $\tau$-derivations $\delta$ of $R$. These rings were…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The small finitistic dimension $\fPD(R)$ of $R$ is defined to be the supremum of projective dimensions of $R$-modules with finite projective resolutions. In this paper, we characterize a ring $R$…

We show that a unital ring is generated by its commutators as an ideal if and only if there exists a natural number $N$ such that every element is a sum of $N$ products of pairs of commutators. We show that one can take $N \leq 2$ for…

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…

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…

We first show a counter intuitive result that in the ring of real valued continuous functions on $[0,1]$ non maximal prime ideals exist. This is a standard proof and a well known result. Interestingly, a non maximal prime ideal in this ring…

This paper explores the study of $S$-prime and $S$-maximal ideals in the context of trivial ring extensions $A \ltimes M$. Through counterexamples, we demonstrate that $S$-prime (resp., $S$-maximal) ideals in $A \ltimes M$ are not…

This paper mainly focuses on commutative local domains of dimension one. We then obtain a criterion for a ring to have a finite number of trace ideals in terms of integrally closed ideals. We also explore properties of such rings related to…

One proves that each almost local-global semihereditary ring has the stacked basis property and is almost Bezout. If M is a finitely presented module, its torsion part tM is a direct sum of cyclic modules where the family of annhilators is…

Let $F$ be a field, and let Zar$(F)$ be the space of valuation rings of $F$ with respect to the Zariski topology. We prove that if $X$ is a quasicompact set of rank one valuation rings in Zar$(F)$ whose maximal ideals do not intersect to…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring, $I$ and $J$ two ideals of $R$ and $t$ an integer. Let $S$ be the class of Artinian $R$-modules, or the class of all $R$-modules $N$ with $\dim_RN\leq k$, where $k$ is an integer. It is proved that $\inf\{i:…

Let $T$ be a complete local (Noetherian) ring of characteristic zero. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for $T$ to be the completion of a quasi-excellent local domain. In the case that $T$ contains the rationals, we provide…
