We give a combinatorial equivalent to the existence of a non-free hereditarily separable group of cardinality aleph_1. This can be used, together with a known combinatorial equivalent of the existence of a non-free Whitehead group, to prove…

It is proved that Ulrich modules exist for a large class of local rings of dimension two. This complements earlier work of the authors and Ziquan Zhuang that described complete intersection domains of dimension two that admit no Ulrich…

It has been a well-known fact since Euclid's time that there exist infinitely many rational primes. Two natural questions arise: In which other rings, sufficiently similar to the integers, are there infinitely many irreducible elements? Is…

It is a well-known and easily established fact that every Euclidean domain is also a principal ideal domain. However, the converse statement is not true, and this is usually shown by exhibiting as a counterexample the ring of algebraic…

We consider the question of which valuation domains (of cardinality aleph_1) have non-standard uniserial modules. We show that a criterion conjectured by Osofsky is independent of ZFC + GCH.

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…

The connections between Whitehead groups and uniformization properties were investigated by the third author in [Sh:98]. In particular it was essentially shown there that there is a non-free Whitehead (respectively, aleph_1-coseparable)…

We generalize the theory of radical factorization from almost Dedekind domain to strongly discrete Pr\"ufer domains; we show that, for a fixed subset $X$ of maximal ideals, the finitely generated ideals with $\mathcal{V}(I)\subseteq X$ have…

It is proved that the localization of an injective module E, over a valuation ring R, at a prime ideal J, is injective if J is not the subset of zero-divisors of R or if J or E is flat. It follows that localizations of injective modules…

This note offers an unusual approach of studying a class of modules inasmuch as it is investigating a subclass of the category of modules over a valuation domain. This class is far from being a full subcategory, it is not even a category.…

We provide algebraic conditions ensuring the decidability of the theory of modules over effectively given Pr\"ufer (in particular B\'ezout) domains whose localizations at maximal ideals have dense value groups. For B\'ezout domains, these…

This paper deals with well-known notion of $PF$-rings, that is, rings in which principal ideals are flat. We give a new characterization of $PF$-rings. Also, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for $R\bowtie I$ (resp., $R/I$…

A finite abelian $p$-group having an automorphism $x$ such that $1+\ldots+x^{p-1}=0$, can be viewed as a module over an appropriate discrete valuation ring $\mathcal{O}$ containing $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (the ring of $p$-adic integer). This yields…

It is shown that each almost maximal valuation ring R such that every indecomposable injective module is countably generated, satisfies the following condition (C): each fp-injective module is locally injective. The converse holds if R is a…

Let R be a countable, principal ideal domain which is not a field and A be a countable R-algebra which is free as an R-module. Then we will construct an aleph_1-free R-module G of rank aleph_1 with endomorphism algebra End_RG=A . Clearly…

In this article we study two classes of integral domains. The first is characterized by having a finite intersection of principal ideals being finitely generated only when it is principal. The second class consists of the integral domains…

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…

For a Noetherian local domain $R$ let $R^+$ be the absolute integral closure of $R$ and let $R_{\infty}$ be the perfect closure of $R$, when $R$ has prime characteristic. In this paper we investigate the projective dimension of residue…

Let $A$ be a ring and $R$ be a polynomial or a power series ring over $A$. When $A$ has dimension zero, we show that the Bass numbers and the associated primes of the local cohomology modules over $R$ are finite. Moreover, if $A$ has…

We like to build Abelian groups (or R-modules) which on the one hand are quite free, say $\aleph_{\omega + 1}$-free, and on the other hand, are complicated in suitable sense. We choose as our test problem having no non-trivial homomorphism…
