Let $I\subset A$ and $J\subset B$ be two monomial ideals, where $A$ and $B$ are two polynomial rings with disjoint variables. Considering a general set-up of monomial filtrations, we study the behaviour of the $\mathrm{v}$-function under…

We describe the graded characters and Hilbert functions of certain graded artinian Gorenstein quotients of the polynomial ring which are also representations of the symmetric group. Specifically, we look at those algebras whose socles are…

In the stable general linear group over an arbitrary field, we prove that every element with determinant $\pm 1$ is the product of three involutions, and of no less in general. We also obtain several results of the same flavor, with…

Various problems on integers lead to the class of congruence preserving functions on rings, i.e. functions verifying $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all $a,b$. We characterized these classes of functions in terms of sums of rational…

Let $E$ be the open unit disk $\{z\in \mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$. Let $A$ be the class of analytic functions in $E$, which have the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+...$. We define operators $L_n^\sigma\colon A\to A$ using the convolution *. Using these…

Let R be a ring and G a group. An R-module A is said to be artinian-by-(finite rank) if TorR(A) is artinian and A/TorR(A) has finite R-rank. The authors study ZG-modules A such that A/CA(H) is artinian-by-(finite rank) (as a Z-module) for…

For a finite subset $I$ of positive integers, the descent polynomial $\mathcal{D}(I;n)$ counts the number of permutations in $S_n$ that have descent set $I$. We generalize descent polynomials by considering permutations with a specific…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with $\Z(R)$ its set of zero-divisors. In this paper, we study the total graph of $R$, denoted by $\T(\Gamma(R))$. It is the (undirected) graph with all elements of $R$ as vertices, and for distinct $x, y\in…

We show that minimizing a convex function over the integer points of a bounded convex set is polynomial in fixed dimension.

We study the substitution property for the ring R 0 (V) of continuous rational functions on a real algebraic affine variety V. We show that R 0 (V) satisfies a substitution property along points; moreover, when V is non-singular, it…

Let $n>1$ and let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity $1\ne 0$ and $R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]^n$ the set of all $n$-tuples of polynomials of the form $(f_1,\ldots,f_n),$ where $f_1,\ldots,f_n\in R[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. We call these $n$-tuples…

We introduce the notion of Artinian meadow as an algebraic structure constructed from an Artinian ring which is also a common meadow, i.e.\ a commutative and associative structure with two operations (addition and multiplication) with…

Given a ring $R$, we study the bimodules $M$ for which the trivial extension $R\propto M$ is morphic. We obtain a complete characterization in the case where $R$ is left perfect, and we prove that $R\propto Q/R$ is morphic when $R$ is a…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity and let $N$ be a nil ideal of $R$. It is shown that units of $R/N$ can be lifted to units in $R$. Under some mild conditions on the ring, a procedure is given to determine those lifted units in a…

A commutative associative algebra $A$ over ${\mathbb C}$ with a derivation is one of the simplest examples of a vertex algebra. However, the differences between the modules for $A$ as a vertex algebra and the modules for $A$ as an…

We continue the study on sheaves of rings on finite posets. We present examples where the ring of global sections coincide with toric faces rings, quotients of a polynomial ring by a monomial ideal and algebras with straightening laws. We…

A complete description is provided for the unitary normalizer of the diagonal Cartan subalgebra $\mathcal{D}_2$ in the $2$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_2$, which generalizes and unifies analogous results for Cuntz and Bunce-Deddens…

Partition of unities appear in many places in analysis. Typically they are generated by compactly supported functions with a certain regularity. In this paper we consider partition of unities obtained as integer-translates of entire…
