Many Properties of a category X, as for instance the existence of an adjoint or a factorization system, are a consequence of the cowellpoweredness of X. In the absence of cowellpoweredness, for general results, fairly strong assumption on…

In this paper, we prove a result similar to results of Itoh and Hong-Ulrich, proving that integral closure of an ideal is compatible with specialization by a general element of that ideal for ideals of height at least two in a large class…

$(1)$ Let $M\subset N$ be a commutative cancellative torsion-free and subintegral extension of monoids. Then we prove that in the case of ring extension $A[M]\subset A[N]$, the two notions, subintegral and weakly subintegral coincide…

A multiplicative hyperring is a well-known type of algebraic hyperstructures which extend a ring to a structure in which the addition is an operation but multiplication is a hyperoperation. Let G be a commutative multiplicative hyperring…

We provide a negative answer to an old question in tight closure theory by showing that the containment x^3y^3 \in (x^4,y^4,z^4)^* in K[x,y,z]/(x^7+y^7-z^7) holds for infinitely many but not for almost all prime characteristics of the field…

Contraction theory is a mathematical framework for studying the convergence, robustness, and modularity properties of dynamical systems and algorithms. In this opinion paper, we provide five main opinions on the virtues of contraction…

We consider sets of operations on a set A that are closed under permutation of variables, addition of dummy variables and composition. We describe these closed sets in terms of a Galois connection between operations and systems of pointed…

It has been proposed that the Poincare and some other symmetries of noncommutative field theories should be twisted. Here we extend this idea to gauge transformations and find that twisted gauge symmetries close for arbitrary gauge group.…

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be an analytically unramified local ring of positive prime characteristic $p.$ For an ideal $I$, let $I^*$ denote its tight closure. We introduce the tight Hilbert function $H^*_I(n)=\ell(R/(I^n)^*)$ and the…

We show in this paper that the Briancon-Skoda theorem holds for all ideals in F-rational rings of positive prime characteristic, and also in rings with rational singularities which are of finite type over a field of characteristic 0.…

We define a compressed zero-divisor graph $\varTheta(K)$ of a finite commutative unital ring $K$, where the compression is performed by means of the associatedness relation. We prove that this is the best possible compression which induces…

Given a radical ideal $I$ in a regular ring $R$, the Containment Problem of symbolic and ordinary powers of $I$ consists of determining when the containment $I^{(a)} \subseteq I^b$ holds. By work of Ein-Lazersfeld-Smith, Hochster-Huneke and…

I introduce the concept of integral closure for elements and ideals in idempotent semirings, and establish how it corresponds to its namesake in commutative algebra. In the case of free semirings, integral closure can be understood in terms…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and N(R) be the set of all nilpotent elements of R. The aim of this paper is to introduce and study the notion of nil-prime ideals as a generalization of prime ideals. We say that a proper ideal P…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. In this paper, we introduce the concept of weakly $J$-ideals as a new generalization of $J$-ideals. We call a proper ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ a weakly $J$-ideal if whenever $a,b\in R$…

Let R be a commutative Noetherian local ring with residue field k. Let X be a resolving subcategory of finitely generated R-modules. This paper mainly studies when X contains k or consists of totally reflexive modules. It is proved that X…

In this paper, we study some properties of the closure operator in the Mac\'ias topology on infinite integral domains. Moreover, under certain conditions, we present topological proofs of the infiniteness of maximal ideals and…

An ideal I of a commutative ring R is said to be irreducible if it cannot be written as the intersection of two larger ideals. A proper ideal I of a ring R is said to be strongly irreducible if for each ideals J, K of R, J\cap K\subseteq I…

In this paper we investigate the question of normality for special monomial ideals in a polynomial ring over a field. We first include some expository sections that give the basics on the integral closure of a ideal, the Rees algebra on an…

Closure seems to be something rheologists would prefer to avoid. Here, the story of closure is told in such a way that one should enduringly forget any improper undertone of "uncontrolled approximation" or "necessary evil" which might…
