Inverse semirings and their lattice of congruences
In the first section, we introduce the notions of fractional and invertible ideals of semirings and characterize invertible ideals of a semidomain. In section two, we define Prüfer semirings and characterize them in terms of valuation semirings. In this section, we also characterize Prüfer semirings in terms of some identities over its ideals such as for all ideals , of . In the third section, we give a semiring version for the Gilmer-Tsang Theorem, which states that for a suitable family...
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 16R50, 16R10.The paper is a survey on involutions (anti-automorphisms of order two) of different kinds. Starting with the first systematic investigations on involutions of central simple algebras due to Albert the author emphasizes on their basic properties, the conditions on their existence and their correspondence with structural characteristics of the algebras. Focusing on matrix algebras a complete description of involutions of the first kind on Mn(F)...
Suppose is a -mixed splitting abelian group and is a commutative unitary ring of zero characteristic such that the prime number satisfies . Then and are canonically isomorphic -group algebras for any group precisely when and are isomorphic groups. This statement strengthens results due to W. May published in J. Algebra (1976) and to W. Ullery published in Commun. Algebra (1986), Rocky Mt. J. Math. (1992) and Comment. Math. Univ. Carol. (1995).

If there exists a K-isomorphism KH ∼= KG for some group H, then it is shown that H ∼= G. Let G be a direct sum of cyclic groups, a divisible group or a simply presented torsion abelian group. Then KH ∼= KG as K-algebras...
