We prove a power series ring analogue of the Dedekind-Mertens lemma. Along the way, we give limiting counterexamples, we note an application to integrality, and we correct an error in the literature.

We extend Latimer and MacDuffee's theorem to a general commutative domain and apply this result to study similarity of matrices over integral rings of number fields. We also conjecture similarity over discrete valuation rings can be descent…

A well-known theorem of Wedderburn asserts that a finite division ring is commutative. In a division ring the group of invertible elements is as large as possible. Here we will be particularly interested in the case where this group is as…

We give a definition of a class of Dedekind domains which includes the rings of integers of global fields and give a proof that all rings in this class have finite ideal class group. We also prove that this class coincides with the class of…

An analog of the Tits building is defined and studied for commutative rings. We prove a Solomon-Tits theorem when $R$ either satisfies a stable range condition, or is the ring of $S$-integers of a global field. We then define an analog of…

We construct an analogue of the ring of algebraic numbers, living in a quotient of the product of all finite fields of prime order. We use this ring to deduce some results about linear recurrent sequences.

We give axioms in the language of rings augmented by a 1-ary predicate symbol $Fin(x)$ with intended interpretation in the Boolean algebra of idempotents as the ideal of finite elements, i.e. finite unions of atoms. We prove that any…

The following representation theorem is proven: A partially ordered commutative ring $R$ is a subring of a ring of almost everywhere defined continuous real-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ if and only if $R$ is archimedean…

A classical theorem by Jacobson says that a ring in which every element $x$ satisfies the equation $x^n=x$ for some $n>1$ is commutative. According to Birkhoff's Completeness Theorem, if $n$ is fixed, there must be an equational proof of…

We present an alternate proof of Giraud's Theorem based on the fact that given the conditions on a category E for being a topos, its objects are sheaves by construction. Generalizing sets to R-modules for R a commutative ring, we prove that…

We prove in this article the surjectivity of three maps. We prove in Theorem $1.6$ the surjectivity of the Chinese remainder reduction map associated to the projective space of an ideal with a given factorization into ideals whose radicals…

We investigate equidecomposability in the ring of polygons with sides restricted to given directions and using only translations. Extending classical results of Dehn and Hadwiger, we prove that equidecomposability in these rings is…

We provide a simple proof of a computable analogue to the Jayne Rogers Theorem from descriptive set theory. The difficulty of the proof is delegated to a simulation result pertaining to non-deterministic type-2 machines. Thus, we…

We give a constructive counterpart of the theorem of Andrunakievi\v{c} and Rjabuhin, which states that every reduced ring is a subdirect product of domains. As an application, we extract a constructive proof of the fact that every ring $A$…

A commutative ring $R$ is stable if every non-zero ideal $I$ of $R$ is projective over its ring of endomorphisms. Motivated by a paper of Bass in the 1960s, stable rings have received wide attention in the literature ever since then. Much…

A commutative ring is reduced when it can be embedded into a direct product of fields. While the category of reduced commutative rings plays a fundamental role in affine geometry, it exhibits several structural deficiencies: it admits…

We give an elementary proof prove of the preservation of the Noetherian condition for commutative rings with unity $R$ having at least one finitely generated ideal $I$ such that the quotient ring is again finitely generated, and $R$ is…

We consider the class of all commutative reduced rings for which there exists a finite subset T of A such that all projections on quotients by prime ideals of A are surjective when restricted to T. A complete structure theorem is given for…

We describe a method for solving linear systems over the localization of a commutative ring $R$ at a multiplicatively closed subset $S$ that works under the following hypotheses: the ring $R$ is coherent, i.e., we can compute finite…

We examine the consequences of having a total division operation $\frac{x}{y}$ on commutative rings. We consider two forms of binary division, one derived from a unary inverse, the other defined directly as a general operation; each are…
