The paper investigates the converse to the following theorem. Let R be a differential domain R which is finitely generated over a differential field F whose field of constants is algebraically closed of characteristic 0. If R has no proper…

Let R be a differential domain finitely generated over a differential field, F, with field of constants, C, of characteristic 0. Let E be the quotient field of R. The paper investigates necessary and sufficient conditions on R's…

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…

In this paper we strengthen Kolchin's theorem ([1]) in the ordinary case. It states that if a differential field $E$ is finitely generated over a differential subfield $F \subset E$, $trdeg_F E < \infty$, and $F$ contains a nonconstant,…

We consider the free ${\bf C}$-algebra ${\cal B}_q$ with $N$ generators $\{\xi_i\}_{i = 1,...,N}$, together with a set of $N$ differential operators $\{\partial_i\}_{i = 1,...,N}$ that act as twisted derivations on ${\cal B}_q$ according to…

Let R* be an ideal-adic completion of a Noetherian integral domain R and let L be a subfield of the total quotient ring of R* such that L contains R. Let A denote the intersection of L with R*. The integral domain A sometimes inherits nice…

In this paper we examine the commutativity of ideal extensions. We introduce methods of constructing such extensions, in particular we construct a noncommutative ring T which contains a central and idempotent ideal I such that T/I is a…

In this paper, we advance an ideal-theoretic analogue of a "finite factorization domain" (FFD), giving such a domain the moniker "finite molecularization domain" (FMD). We characterize FMD's as those factorable domains (termed "molecular…

It is well-known that if R is a domain with finite character, each locally principal nonzero ideal of R is invertible. We address the problem of understanding when the converse is true and survey some recent results.

Let C be an algebraically closed field and X a projective curve over C. Consider an ordinary linear differential equation, or a linear differ- ence equation, with coefficients in the field of rational functions of X, and assume that its…

We say that a category $\mathscr{D}$ is dimension zero over a field $F$ provided that every finitely generated representation of $\mathscr{D}$ over $F$ is finite length. We show that $\textrm{Rel}(R)$, a category that arises naturally from…

Let $S(D)$ represent a set of proper nonzero ideals $I(D)$ (resp., $t$ -ideals $I_{t}(D)$) of an integral domain $D\neq qf(D)$ and let $P$ be a valid property of ideals of $D.$ We say $S(D)$ meets $P$ (denoted $ S(D)\vartriangleleft P)$ if…

The overall goal is to approach the Cohen--Macaulay property of the special fiber $\mathcal{F}(I)$ of an equigenerated homogeneous ideal $I$ in a standard graded ring over an infinite field. When the ground ring is assumed to be local, the…

We study the integral domains D satisfying the following condition: whenever I >AB with I,A,B nonzero ideals, there exist ideals A'>A and B'>B such that I=A'B'.

In this note we give a negative answer to Abraham Robinson's question whether a finitely generated extension of an undecidable field is always undecidable. We construct 'natural' undecidable fields of transcendence degree 1 over Q all of…

For a normal F-finite variety $X$ and a boundary divisor $\Delta$ we give a uniform description of an ideal which in characteristic zero yields the multiplier ideal, and in positive characteristic the test ideal of the pair $(X,\Delta)$.…

Given an integral domain $D$ with fraction field $F$, its *reciprocal complement* is the subring of $F$ generated by all $1/d$ for nonzero $d$ in $D$. This paper serves doubly as a survey of the current state of the field and an update with…

In commutative ring theory, there is a theorem of Cohen which states that if in a commutative ring all prime ideals are finitely generated then every ideal is finitely generated. However, it is known that having only maximal ideals finitely…

It is well known that a domain without proper strongly divisorial ideals is completely integrally closed. In this paper we show that a domain without {\em prime} strongly divisorial ideals is not necessarily completely integrally closed,…

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…
