Let A be an integral domain with field of fractions K. We investigate the structure of the overrings B of A (contained in K) that are well-centered on A in the sense that each principal ideal of B is generated by an element of A. We…

In this paper, we address various aspects of divisibility by irreducibles in rings consisting of integer-valued polynomials. An integral domain is called atomic if every nonzero nonunit factors into irreducibles. Atomic domains that do not…

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with total quotient ring $K$. An $R$-module $M$ is called simple divisible, if $M$ is divisible $\neq 0$, but every proper submodule $0 \neq U \subsetneqq M$ is not divisible.…

Let $(R, \m)$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring with $\m^3 =(0)$. We give a condition for $R$ to have a non-free module of G-dimension zero. We shall also construct a family of non-isomorphic indecomposable modules of G-dimension zero…

The aim of this note is to discuss the following quite queer Problem: \noindent GIVEN \noindent i) the free non-commutative polynomial ring, ${\Cal P} := {\Bbb F}\langle X_1,\ldots,X_n\rangle$ {\em (public)}, \noindent ii) a bilateral ideal…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. An element $r \in R$ is said to be absolutely irreducible in $R$ if for all natural numbers $n>1$, $r^n$ has essentially only one factorization namely $r^n = r \cdots r$. If $r \in R$ is…

For a module-finite algebra over a commutative noetherian ring, we give a complete description of flat cotorsion modules in terms of prime ideals of the algebra, as a generalization of Enochs' result for a commutative noetherian ring. As a…

For pairs of integers (n,m) and (d,e) satisfying some nedesary conditions, we construct a local flat ring morphism of noetherian local rings u:A -->B such that dim(A)=n, depth(A)=d, dim(B)=m, depth(B)=e.

We examine the power series ring $R[[X]]$ over a valuation ring $R$ of rank 1, with proper, dense value group. We give a counterexample to Hilbert's syzygy theorem for $R[[X]]$, i.e. an $R[[X]]$-module $C$ that is flat over $R$ and has flat…

In [5, 6] it has been proved that the ring of quasisymmetric functions over the integers is free polynomial, see also [4]. This is a matter that has been of great interest since 1972; for instance because of the role this statement plays in…

We study certain properties of modules over 1-dimensional local integral domains. First, we examine the order of the conductor ideal and its expected relationship with multiplicity. Next, we investigate the reflexivity of certain…

In this article, we propose a few sufficient conditions on polynomials having integer coefficients all of whose zeros lie outside a closed disc centered at the origin in the complex plane and deduce the irreducibility over the ring of…

We show that there exists a stably free module over a polynomial ring which is not extended from the ground ring. This provides a counterexample to the Hermite ring conjecture.

In this paper, we first consider the relationship between a polynomial ring $B$ over a Noetherian domain $R$ and the ring of invariants $A$ of a ${\mathbb G}_a$-action on $B$, when $A$ occurs as a retract of $B$. Next, we study retracts of…

It is shown that Erd\"{o}s--Littlewood's polynomials are not $L^\alpha$-flat when $\alpha > 2$ is an even integer (and hence for any $\alpha \geq 4$). This provides a partial solution to an old problem posed by Littlewood. Consequently, we…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ and let $G$ be a finite group. Given a $G$-Galois $K$-algebra $K_h$, let $\mathcal{O}_h$ denote its ring of integers. If $K_h/K$ is tame, then a classical theorem of E. Noether…

We present basic properties of Gr\"obner bases of submodules of a free module of finite rank over a polynomial ring $R$ with coefficients in a graded truncated discrete valuations ring $A$. As an application, we give a criterion for a…

The goal of this paper is to give a numerical criterion for an open question in $p$-adic Fourier theory. Let $F$ be a finite extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$. Schneider and Teitelbaum defined and studied the character variety $\mathfrak{X}$,…
