The spaces D, S and E' over \mathbb{R}^(n) are known to be flat modules over A=\mathbb{C}[\partial_{1},...,\partial_{n}], whereas their duals D', S' and E are known to be injective modules over the same ring. Let A be a Noetherian k-algebra…

To study the question of whether every two-dimensional Pr\"ufer domain possesses the stacked bases property, we consider the particular case of the Pr\"ufer domains formed by integer-valued polynomials. The description of the spectrum of…

An irreducible element of a commutative ring is absolutely irreducible if no power of it has more than one (essentially different) factorization into irreducibles. In the case of the ring $\text{Int}(D)=\{f\in K[x]\mid f(D)\subseteq D\}$,…

Let $(R,\mm,K)$ be a regular local ring containing a field $k$ such that either char $k=0$ or char $k=p$ and tr-deg $K/\BF_p\geq 1$. Let $g_1,\ldots,g_t$ be regular parameters of $R$ which are linearly independent modulo $\mm^2$. Let…

We study the images of polynomial maps over algebraically closed division rings. Our first result generalizes the classical Ax-Grothendieck theorem: We show that if $ f_1, \ldots, f_m $ are elements of the free associative algebra $…

In this note, some properties of finitely generated two-periodic modules over commutative Noetherian local rings have been studied. We show that under certain assumptions on a pair of modules $\left(M,N \right)$ with $M$ two-periodic, the…

We study representation of square-free polynomials in the polynomial ring F[t] over a finite field F by polynomials in F[t][x]. This is a function field version of the well-studied problem of representing squarefree integers by integer…

Let $K$ be the field of Laurent series with complex coefficients, let $\mathcal{R}$ be the inverse limit of the standard-graded polynomial rings $K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$, and let $\mathcal{R}^{\flat}$ be the subring of $\mathcal{R}$ consisting…

In this paper we extend an epimorphism theorem of D. Wright to the case of discrete valuation rings. We will show that if $(R, t)$ is a discrete valuation ring, $n \ge 2$ is an integer not divisible by the characteristic of the residue…

We prove that if $R$ is a commutative Noetherian ring, then every countably generated flat $R$-module is quite flat, i.e., a direct summand of a transfinite extension of localizations of $R$ in countable multiplicative subsets. We also show…

It is proved that a module $M$ over a Noetherian local ring $R$ of prime characteristic and positive dimension has finite flat dimension if Tor$_i^R({}^e R, M)=0$ for dim $R$ consecutive positive values of $i$ and infinitely many $e$. Here…

Using polynomial evaluation, we give some useful criteria to answer questions about divisibility of polynomials. This allows us to develop interesting results concerning the prime elements in the domain of coefficients. In particular, it is…

In 1936, Margarete C. Wolf showed that the ring of symmetric free polynomials in two or more variables is isomorphic to the ring of free polynomials in infinitely many variables. We show that Wolf's theorem is a special case of a general…

It was proved by Beligiannis and Krause that over certain Artin algebras, there are Gorenstein flat modules which are not direct limits of finitely generated Gorenstein projective modules. That is, these algebras have no Gorenstein analogue…

We prove Dirichlet's theorem for polynomial rings: Let F be a pseudo algebraically closed field. Then for all relatively prime polynomials a(X), b(X)\in F[X] and for every sufficiently large positive integer n there exist infinitely many…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. We give criteria for flatness of $R$-modules in terms of associated primes and torsion-freeness of certain tensor products. This allows us to develop a criterion for regularity if $R$ has…

An ideal $I$ in a Noetherian ring is called \textit{normal} if $I^n$ is integrally closed for all $n \geq 1$. Zariski proved that in two-dimensional regular local rings, every integrally closed ideal is normal. However, in dimension three…

It is proved that if $\varphi\colon A\to B$ is a local homomorphism of commutative noetherian local rings, a nonzero finitely generated $B$-module $N$ whose flat dimension over $A$ is at most $\mathrm{edim}\, A - \mathrm{edim}\, B$, is free…
