Let R be a commutative ring and let M be an R-module. The aim of this paper is to establish an efficient decomposition of a proper submodule N of M as an intersection of primal submodules. We prove the existence of a canonical primal decomposition, $N={\bigcap }_{}{N}_{\left(\right)}$, where the intersection is taken over the isolated components $N_{\left(\right)}$ of N that are primal submodules having distinct and incomparable adjoint prime ideals . Using this decomposition, we prove that for ∈ Supp(M/N), the submodule N is an intersection of -primal...

Let ⊆ be ideals of a Noetherian ring R, and let N be a non-zero finitely generated R-module. The set Q̅*(,N) of quintasymptotic primes of with respect to N was originally introduced by McAdam. Also, it has been shown by Naghipour and Schenzel that the set $A{*}_a(,N):={\bigcup }_{n\ge 1}As{s}_{R}R/{\left(ⁿ\right)}_a^{\left(N\right)}$ of associated primes is finite. The purpose of this paper is to show that the topology on N defined by ${{\left(ⁿ\right)}_a^{\left(N\right)}{:}_R⟨⟩}_{n\ge 1}$ is finer than the topology defined by ${{\left(ⁿ\right)}_a^{\left(N\right)}}_{n\ge 1}$ if and only if $A{*}_a(,N)$ is disjoint from the quintasymptotic primes of with respect to N. Moreover, we show...

Let $ℐ$ be a set of ideals of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. We use the notion of $ℐ$-closure operation which is a semiprime closure operation on submodules of modules to introduce the class of $ℐ$-Laskerian modules. This enables us to investigate the set of associated prime ideals of certain $ℐ$-closed submodules of local cohomology modules.

Let D be an integral domain with field of fractions K. In this article, we use a certain pullback construction in the spirit of Int(E,D) that furnishes many examples of domains between D[x] and K[x] in which there are elements that do not admit a finite factorization into irreducible elements. We also define the notion of a fixed divisor for this pullback construction to characterize all of its irreducible elements and those nonzero nonunits that do admit a finite factorization into irreducibles....

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 17A50, 05C05.In this note we present the formula for the coefficients of the substitution series f(g(x)) of planar tree power series g(x) into f(x).

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. If a ring $R$ is contained in an arbitrary union of rings, then $R$ is contained in one of them under various conditions. Similarly, if an arbitrary intersection of rings is contained in $R$, then $R$ contains one of them under various conditions.
