On the compactness of minimal spectrum
We develop elementary methods of computing the monoid for a directly-finite regular ring . We construct a class of directly finite non-cancellative refinement monoids and realize them by regular algebras over an arbitrary field.
Let be a finite group , a field of characteristic and let be the group of units in . We show that if the derived length of does not exceed , then must be abelian.
It is known that the existence of the group inverse a # of a ring element a is equivalent to the invertibility of a 2 a − + 1 − aa −, independently of the choice of the von Neumann inverse a − of a. In this paper, we relate the Drazin index of a to the Drazin index of a 2 a − + 1 − aa −. We give an alternative characterization when considering matrices over an algebraically closed field. We close with some questions and remarks.
Assume that k is a field of characteristic different from 2. We show that if Γ is a strongly simply connected k-algebra of non-polynomial growth, then there exists a special family of pointed Γ-modules, called an independent pair of dense chains of pointed modules. Then it follows by a result of Ziegler that Γ admits a super-decomposable pure-injective module if k is a countable field.
