  • Single Elements
    Beitr¨agezur Algebra und Geometrie Contributions to Algebra and Geometry Volume 47 (2006), No. 1, 275-288. Single Elements B. J. Gardner Gordon Mason Department of Mathematics, University of Tasmania Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Department of Mathematics & Statistics, University of New Brunswick Fredericton, N.B., Canada Abstract. In this paper we consider single elements in rings and near- rings. If R is a (near)ring, x ∈ R is called single if axb = 0 ⇒ ax = 0 or xb = 0. In seeking rings in which each element is single, we are led to consider 0-simple rings, a class which lies between division rings and simple rings. MSC 2000: 16U99 (primary), 16Y30 (secondary) Introduction If R is a (not necessarily unital) ring, an element s is called single if whenever asb = 0 then as = 0 or sb = 0. The definition was first given by J. Erdos [2] who used it to obtain results in the representation theory of normed algebras. More recently the idea has been applied by Longstaff and Panaia to certain matrix algebras (see [9] and its bibliography) and they suggest it might be worthy of further study in other contexts. In seeking rings in which every element is single we are led to consider 0-simple rings, a class which lies between division rings and simple rings. In the final section we examine the situation in nearrings and obtain information about minimal N-subgroups of some centralizer nearrings. 1. Single elements in rings We begin with a slightly more general definition. If I is a one-sided ideal in a ring R an element x ∈ R will be called I-single if axb ∈ I ⇒ ax ∈ I or xb ∈ I.

  • Right Ideals of a Ring and Sublanguages of Science
    RIGHT IDEALS OF A RING AND SUBLANGUAGES OF SCIENCE Javier Arias Navarro Ph.D. In General Linguistics and Spanish Language http://www.javierarias.info/ Abstract Among Zellig Harris’s numerous contributions to linguistics his theory of the sublanguages of science probably ranks among the most underrated. However, not only has this theory led to some exhaustive and meaningful applications in the study of the grammar of immunology language and its changes over time, but it also illustrates the nature of mathematical relations between chunks or subsets of a grammar and the language as a whole. This becomes most clear when dealing with the connection between metalanguage and language, as well as when reflecting on operators. This paper tries to justify the claim that the sublanguages of science stand in a particular algebraic relation to the rest of the language they are embedded in, namely, that of right ideals in a ring. Keywords: Zellig Sabbetai Harris, Information Structure of Language, Sublanguages of Science, Ideal Numbers, Ernst Kummer, Ideals, Richard Dedekind, Ring Theory, Right Ideals, Emmy Noether, Order Theory, Marshall Harvey Stone. §1. Preliminary Word In recent work (Arias 2015)1 a line of research has been outlined in which the basic tenets underpinning the algebraic treatment of language are explored. The claim was there made that the concept of ideal in a ring could account for the structure of so- called sublanguages of science in a very precise way. The present text is based on that work, by exploring in some detail the consequences of such statement. §2. Introduction Zellig Harris (1909-1992) contributions to the field of linguistics were manifold and in many respects of utmost significance.

The characteristics of various types of Gamma ideals viz. prime/maximal/minimal/nilpotent/primary/semi-prime ideals of a Gamma-ring are shown to be maintained in the corresponding right (left) operator rings of the Gamma-rings. The converse problems are also investigated with some good outcomes. Further it is shown that the projective product of two Gamma-rings cannot be simple.

  • Semi-Prime Rings
    SEMI-PRIME RINGS BY R. E. JOHNSON Following Nagata [2], we call an ideal of a ring semi-prime if and only if it is an intersection of prime ideals of the ring. A semi-prime ring is one in which the zero ideal is semi-prime. In view of the definition of the prime radical of a ring given by McCoy [l, p. 829], we have that a ring is semi- prime if and only if it has a zero prime radical. The semi-simple rings of Jacobson [6] are also semi-prime. In the first section of this paper, general properties of a semi-prime ring R are developed. The discussion centers around the concept of the component Ie of a right ideal / of R. The component Ie of / is just the left annihilator of the right annihilator of I. The second section is devoted to a study of the prime right ideals of a semi-prime ring R. Prime right ideals are defined in R much as they are in a prime ring [7]. Associated with each right ideal / of R is a least prime right ideal pil) containing I. Some generalizations of results of [7] are obtained. Thus if I and E are any right ideals of R and if a is any element of R, it is proved that piliM') =pil)r\pil') and that pül:a)) = ipil):a). In the third section, the structure of a semi-prime ring R is introduced along the lines of the structure of a prime ring given in [7] and [8].

  • Over Noncommutative Noetherian Rings
    transactions of the american mathematical society Volume 323, Number 2, February 1991 GENERATING MODULES EFFICIENTLY OVER NONCOMMUTATIVE NOETHERIAN RINGS S. C. COUTINHO Abstract. The Forster-Swan Theorem gives an upper bound on the number of generators of a module over a commutative ring in terms of local data. Stafford showed that this theorem could be generalized to arbitrary right and left noethe- rian rings. In this paper a similar result is proved for right noetherian rings with finite Krull dimension. A new dimension function—the basic dimension—is the main tool used in the proof of this result. Introduction The proof of many interesting results in commutative algebra and algebraic 7C-theory are applications of local-global principles. These are results of the following type: if a property is true for all the localisations of an 7?-module M at each prime ideal of 7?, then it is true for M itself. For example, a principle of this kind lies at the heart of Quillen's solution of Serre's conjecture [8]. A further example of a local-global principle is the Forster-Swan Theorem. Suppose that M is a finitely generated right module over a right noetherian ring R. Let us denote the minimal number of generators of M by gR(M). For a commutative ring R, the Forster-Swan Theorem gives an upper bound for gR(M) in terms of local data; more precisely gR(M) < sup{gR (Mp) + Kdim(7?/P) : P a J -prime ideal of 7? } . For a proof of this theorem and some of its applications to commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, see [8].

    Lectures on Non-Commutative Rings by Frank W. Anderson Mathematics 681 University of Oregon Fall, 2002 This material is free. However, we retain the copyright. You may not charge to redistribute this material, in whole or part, without written permission from the author. Preface. This document is a somewhat extended record of the material covered in the Fall 2002 seminar Math 681 on non-commutative ring theory. This does not include material from the informal discussion of the representation theory of algebras that we had during the last couple of lectures. On the other hand this does include expanded versions of some items that were not covered explicitly in the lectures. The latter mostly deals with material that is prerequisite for the later topics and may very well have been covered in earlier courses. For the most part this is simply a cleaned up version of the notes that were prepared for the class during the term. In this we have attempted to correct all of the many mathematical errors, typos, and sloppy writing that we could nd or that have been pointed out to us. Experience has convinced us, though, that we have almost certainly not come close to catching all of the goofs. So we welcome any feedback from the readers on how this can be cleaned up even more. One aspect of these notes that you should understand is that a lot of the substantive material, particularly some of the technical stu, will be presented as exercises. Thus, to get the most from this you should probably read the statements of the exercises and at least think through what they are trying to address.

M. Cohn Received October 1, 1984 Bergman [2] has completely characterized the center of a right hereditary ring; the center of a right hereditary ring is a Krull p. p. ring, and any Krull p. p. ring is the center of a right hereditary. While the center of a hereditary ring thus need not be hereditary, there are conditions which imply that the center is hereditary. Robson and Small [13] have shown that the center of a prime PI right hereditary ring is a Dedekind domain, and the center of a PI hereditary Noetherian ring is a finite direct sum of Dedekind domains. The center of a right hereditary PI ring need not be hereditary; Small and Wadsworth [16] have given an example of a PI right hereditary, right Noetherian ring whose center is not Noetherian or semihereditary. Jondrup [ 111 showed that a right hereditary ring which is module-finite over its center has a hereditary center. Chatters and Jondrup [S] showed that a PI right hereditary ring which is ring-finite over its cen- ter has a hereditary center. We shall prove that any right hereditary ring integral over its center has a hereditary center. Chatters and Jondrup [5] ask if a right and left hereditary PI ring has always has a hereditary center; we will produce an example to show it does not.

We approach this problem by introducing certain families of right ideals in noncommutative rings, called right Oka families, generalizing previous work on commutative rings by T. Y. Lam and the author. As in the commutative case, we prove that the right Oka families in a ring R correspond bi- jectively to the classes of cyclic right R-modules that are closed under extensions.

For an arbitrary ring R we completely characterize when Q(R), the maximal right ring of quotients of R, is a direct product of indecomposable rings and when Q(R) is a direct product of prime rings in terms of conditions on ideals of R. Our work generalizes decomposition results of Goodearl for a von Neumann regular right self-injective ring and of Jain, Lam, and Leroy for Q(R) when R is right nonsingular. To develop our results, we de¯ne a useful dimension on bimodules and characterize the subset of ideals of R which are dense in ring direct summands of Q(R). A structure theorem for RB(Q(R)), the subring of Q(R) generated by fre j r 2 R and e 2 B(Q(R))g, is provided for a semiprime ring R. Our methods allow us to properly generalize Rowen's theorem for semiprime PI-rings. We also apply our results to Functional Analysis to obtain a direct product decomposition of the local multiplier ¤ ¤ algebra, Mloc(A), of a C -algebra A. As a byproduct, we obtain a complete description of a C -algebra whose extended centroid is C@.
