Let k[[x,y]] be the formal power series ring in two variables over a field k of characteristic zero and let d be a nonzero derivation of k[[x,y]]. We prove that if Ker(d) ≠ k then Ker(d) = Ker(δ), where δ is a jacobian derivation of k[[x,y]]. Moreover, Ker(d) is of the form k[[h]] for some h ∈ k[[x,y]].
The paper establishes the basic algebraic theory for the Gevrey rings. We prove the Hensel lemma, the Artin approximation theorem and the Weierstrass-Hironaka division theorem for them. We introduce a family of norms and we look at them as a family of analytic functions defined on some semialgebraic sets. This allows us to study the analytic and algebraic properties of this rings.
We show that the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class is a rational number, generalizing a result of Cerri. In the proof, we actually obtain a slight refinement of this and give some corollaries which explain the relationship of our results with Lenstra's notion of a norm-Euclidean ideal class and the conjecture of Barnes and Swinnerton-Dyer on quadratic forms. In particular, we resolve a conjecture of Lenstra except when the S-units have rank one. The proof is self-contained but uses ideas from...
L. Makar-Limanov, P. van Rossum, V. Shpilrain and J.-T. Yu solved the stable equivalence problem for the polynomial ring k[x,y] when k is a field of characteristic 0. In this note we give an affirmative solution for an arbitrary field k.
We are extending to linear recurrent codes, i.e., to time-varying convolutional codes, most of the classic structural properties of fixed convolutional codes. We are also proposing a new connection between fixed convolutional codes and linear block codes. These results are obtained thanks to a module-theoretic framework which has been previously developed for linear control.

Let be a field and be the standard bigraded polynomial ring over . In this paper, we explicitly describe the structure of finitely generated bigraded “sequentially Cohen-Macaulay” -modules with respect to . Next, we give a characterization of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay modules with respect to in terms of local cohomology modules. Cohen-Macaulay modules that are sequentially Cohen-Macaulay with respect to are considered.
In this note we give a description of a morphism related to the structure of the canonical model of the Rees algebra R(I) of an ideal I in a local ring. As an application we obtain Ikeda's criteria for the Gorensteinness of R(I) and a result of Herzog-Simis-Vasconcelos characterizing when the canonical module of R(I) has the expected form.
