Given a sequence converging to zero, we consider the set of numbers which are sums of (infinite, finite, or empty) subsequences. When the original sequence is not absolutely summable, the subsum set is an unbounded closed interval which…
A finite semifield $D$ is a finite nonassociative ring with identity such that the set $D^*=D\setminus\{0\}$ is closed under the product. In this paper we obtain a computer-assisted description of all 64-element finite semifields, which…
We give a notably simpler and shorter proof of H. B. Neumann's result which is stated, cursorly, like this. For any well-ordered subset, A, of a totally ordered semigroup, the set of products of any finite number of elements of A is itself…
In this note, we give several characterizations of left pure-semisimple in terms of the (pre)envelope, (pre)cover, direct limits, direct sums, inverse limits and direct products properties of pure-projective modules or pure-injective…
We develop the representation theory of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary commutative semiring with unit, in particular classifying the irreducible and minimal representations. The results for an arbitrary semiring are as good as the…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a commutative semigroup, and let $T$ be a sequence of terms from the semigroup $\mathcal{S}$. We call $T$ an (additively) {\sl irreducible} sequence provided that no sum of its some terms vanishes. Given any element $a$…
We construct a family of semiprimitive and non von Neumann regular rings satisfying that any right or left module is isomorphic to a quotient of its flat cover (in the sense of Enochs) by a small submodule. This answers in the negative a…
A finite semifield is a finite nonassociative ring with identity such that the set of its nonzero elements is closed under the product. From any finite semifield a projective plane can be constructed. In this paper we obtain new semifield…
This paper introduces and studies a categorical analogue of the familiar monoid semiring construction. By introducing an axiomatisation of summation that unifies notions of summation from algebraic program semantics with various notions of…
Simple constructions are given for finite semifields that include as special cases both old semifields and recently constructed semifields.
We investigate the notion of \textit{semi-nil clean} rings, defined as those rings in which each element can be expressed as a sum of a periodic and a nilpotent element. Among our results, we show that if $R$ is a semi-nil clean NI ring,…
We call a semigroup $S$ f-noetherian if every right congruence of finite index on $S$ is finitely generated. We prove that every finitely generated semigroup is f-noetherian, and investigate whether the properties of being f-noetherian and…
Every (left) linear function on a subspace of a finite-dimensional vector space over a (skew) field can be extended to a (left) linear function on the whole space. This paper explores the extent to what this basic fact of linear algebra is…
Given a $\Gamma$-semigroup $S$, we construct a semigroup $\Sigma$ in such a way that one sided ideals and quasi-ideals of $S$ can be regarded as one sided ideals and quasi-ideals respectively of $\Sigma$. This correspondence and other…
In this paper, the complete algebraic structure of finite semisimple group algebra of a normally monomial group is described. The main result is illustrated by computing the explicit Wedderburn decomposition of finite semisimple group…
Any rational number can be factored into a product of several rationals whose sum vanishes. This simple but nontrivial fact was suggested as a problem on a maths olympiad for high-school students. We completely solve similar questions in…
Goldie's Theorem implies that a semiprime left Goldie ring is embeddable into a semisimple Artinian ring. On the other hand, there are domains that are not embeddable into division rings. A criterion for a semiprime ring being embeddable…
Five algebraic notions of termination are formalised, analysed and compared: wellfoundedness or Noetherity, L\"ob's formula, absence of infinite iteration, absence of divergence and normalisation. The study is based on modal semirings,…
We prove two characterisations of accessibility of locally finite quasi-transitive connected graphs. First, we prove that any such graph $G$ is accessible if and only if its set of separations of finite order is an ${\rm Aut}(G)$-finitely…
In this paper we provide a complete algebraic characterization of elementary equivalence of rings with a finitely generated additive group in the language of pure rings. The rings considered are arbitrary otherwise.
