A ring R is said to be VNL if for any a in R, either a or 1-a is (von Neumann) regular. The class of VNL rings lies properly between the exchange rings and (von Neumann) regular rings. We characterize abelian VNL rings. We also characterize…

In this note, it is proved that over a commutative noetherian henselian non-Gorenstein local ring there are infinitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable totally reflexive modules, if there is a nonfree cyclic totally reflexive…

A Hausdorff topological semiring is called simple if every non-zero continuous homomorphism into another Hausdorff topological semiring is injective. Classical work by Anzai and Kaplansky implies that any simple compact ring is finite. We…

In this note we show that a ring R is left perfect if and only if every left R-module is weakly supplemented if and only if R is semilocal and the radical of the countably infinite free left R-module has a weak supplement.

An associative ring with 1 is said to be semilocal provided it is semisimple artinian modulo its Jacobson radical, that is, modulo its Jacobson radical it is isomorphic to a finite product of matrices over division rings. Modules with a…

In this note, we show that every Noetherian graded ring with an affine degree zero part is affine. As a result, a Noetherian graded Hopf algebra whose degree zero component is a commutative or a cocommutative Hopf subalgebra is affine.…

The study of rings and modules with homological criteria is a cornerstone of commutative algebra. Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with identity (not necessarily local) and $\frak a$ a proper ideal of $R$. In this paper, a relative…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, $M$ a finite $R$--module and $X$ an arbitrary $R$--module. Here, we show that, in the Serre subcategories of the category of $R$--modules, how the…

In this paper several characterizations of semi-compact modules are given. Among other results, we study rings whose semi-compact modules are injective. We introduce the property $\Sigma$-semi-compact for modules and we characterize the…

In this paper, it is shown that a topological space $X$ is compact iff every maximal ideal of the power set ring $\mathcal{P}(X)$ converges to exactly one point of $X$. Then as an application, simple and ring-theoretic proofs are provided…

Connections between heaps of modules and (affine) modules over rings are explored. This leads to explicit, often constructive, descriptions of some categorical constructions and properties that are implicit in universal algebra and…

Let R be a ring, M a nonzero left R-module, X an infinite set, and E the endomorphism ring of the direct sum of copies of M indexed by X. Given two subrings S and S' of E, we will say that S is equivalent to S' if there exists a finite…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. Under various hypotheses, it is proved that the center of $\mbox{End}_R(M)$ coincides with the endomorphism ring of the trace ideal of $M$. These results are…

A module is called automorphism-invariant if it is invariant under any automorphism of its injective hull. Dickson and Fuller have shown that if $R$ is a finite-dimensional algebra over a field $\mathbb F$ with more than two elements then…

In this note we introduce and study basic properties of two types of modules over a commutative noetherian ring $R$ of positive prime characteristic. The first is the category of modules of finite $F$-type. These objects include reflexive…

The following representation theorem is proven: A partially ordered commutative ring $R$ is a subring of a ring of almost everywhere defined continuous real-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ if and only if $R$ is archimedean…

The separability tensor element of a separable extension of noncommutative rings is an idempotent when viewed in the correct endomorphism ring; so one speaks of a separability idempotent, as one usually does for separable algebras. It is…

We introduce a generalisation of Condition (K) to finitely separated graphs and show that it is equivalent to essential freeness of the associated partial action as well as the exchange property of any of the associated tame algebras. As a…

We introduce almost cohomology groups for Lie rings definable in finite-dimensional theory. In particular, we define the 0th and 1st almost cohomology groups of a Lie ring module. Moreover, we prove that the 1st almost cohomology group of a…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup of prime index $p$. Let $V$ be an irreducible ${\mathbb F}H$-module and $U$ a quotient of the induced ${\mathbb F}G$-module $V\kern-3pt\uparrow$. We describe the structure of $U$, which is…
