Let $𝔞\subseteq ℂ[x_1,...,x_n]$ be a monomial ideal and $𝒥\left({𝔞}^c\right)$ the multiplier ideal of $𝔞$ with coefficient $c$. Then $𝒥\left({𝔞}^c\right)$ is also a monomial ideal of $ℂ[x_1,...,x_n]$, and the equality $𝒥\left({𝔞}^c\right)=𝔞$ implies that $0<c<n+1$. We mainly discuss the problem when $𝒥\left(𝔞\right)=𝔞$ or $𝒥\left({𝔞}^{n+1-\epsilon }\right)=𝔞$ for all $0<\epsilon <1$. It is proved that if $𝒥\left(𝔞\right)=𝔞$ then $𝔞$ is principal, and if $𝒥\left({𝔞}^{n+1-\epsilon }\right)=𝔞$ holds for all $0<\epsilon <1$ then $𝔞=(x_1,...,x_n)$. One global result is also obtained. Let $\widetilde{𝔞}$ be the ideal sheaf on ${\mathbb{P}}^{n-1}$ associated with $𝔞$. Then it is proved that the equality $𝒥\left(\widetilde{𝔞}\right)=\widetilde{𝔞}$ implies that $\widetilde{𝔞}$ is principal.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. A proper ideal $I$ is said to be an $n$-ideal of $R$ if for $a,b\in R$, $ab\in I$ and $a\notin \sqrt{0}$ imply $b\in I$. We give a new generalization of the concept of $n$-ideals by defining a proper ideal $I$ of $R$ to be a semi $n$-ideal if whenever $a\in R$ is such that $a^2\in I$, then $a\in \sqrt{0}$ or $a\in I$. We give some examples of semi $n$-ideal and investigate semi $n$-ideals under various contexts of constructions such as direct products, homomorphic images and localizations. We present various characterizations of this new...

For 0 < γ ≤ 1, let $\Lambda {⁺}_{\gamma }$ be the big Lipschitz algebra of functions analytic on the open unit disc which satisfy a Lipschitz condition of order γ on ̅. For a closed set E on the unit circle and an inner function Q, let $J_{\gamma }(E,Q)$ be the closed ideal in $\Lambda {⁺}_{\gamma }$ consisting of those functions $f\in \Lambda {⁺}_{\gamma }$ for which (i) f = 0 on E, (ii) $|f\left(z\right)-f\left(w\right)|=o\left(\right|z-w{|}^{\gamma })$ as d(z,E),d(w,E) → 0, (iii) $f/Q\in \Lambda {⁺}_{\gamma }$. Also, for a closed ideal I in $\Lambda {⁺}_{\gamma }$, let $E_I$ = z ∈ : f(z) = 0 for every f ∈ I and let $Q_I$ be the greatest common divisor of the inner parts of non-zero functions...

In this paper, we examine a natural question concerning the divisors of the polynomial $x^n-1$: “How often does $x^n-1$ have a divisor of every degree between $1$ and $n$?” In a previous paper, we considered the situation when $x^n-1$ is factored in $\mathbb{Z}\left[x\right]$. In this paper, we replace $\mathbb{Z}\left[x\right]$ with ${𝔽}_p\left[x\right]$, where $p$ is an arbitrary-but-fixed prime. We also consider those $n$ where this condition holds for all $p$.

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}\left(\alpha \right)$ be a pure number field generated by a complex root $\alpha$ of a monic irreducible polynomial $F\left(x\right)=x^{2^r·3^k·7^s}-m\in \mathbb{Z}\left[x\right]$, where $r$, $k$, $s$ are three positive natural integers. The purpose of this paper is to study the monogenity of $K$. Our results are illustrated by some examples.

Let $A$ be a bounded linear operator in a complex separable Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$, and $S$ be a selfadjoint operator in $\mathscr{H}$. Assuming that $A-S$ belongs to the Schatten-von Neumann ideal ${𝒮}_p$ $(p>1),$ we derive a bound for ${\sum }_k{|\mathrm{R}{\lambda }_k\left(A\right)-{\lambda }_k\left(S\right)|}^p$, where ${\lambda }_k\left(A\right)$ $(k=1,2,\cdots )$ are the eigenvalues of $A$. Our results are formulated in terms of the “extended” eigenvalue sets in the sense introduced by T. Kato. In addition, in the case $p=2$ we refine the Weyl inequality between the real parts of the eigenvalues of $A$ and the eigenvalues...

Let $𝕍$ be a separable real Hilbert space, $k\in \mathbb{N}$ with $k<dim𝕍$, and let $B$ be convex and closed in $𝕍$. Let $𝒫$ be a collection of linear $k$-subspaces of $𝕍$. A point $w\in B$ is called exposed by $𝒫$ if there is a $P\in 𝒫$ so that $(w+P)\cap B=\left\{w\right\}$. We show that, under some natural conditions, $B$ can be reconstituted as the convex hull of the closure of all its exposed by $𝒫$ points whenever $𝒫$ is dense and $G_{\delta }$. In addition, we discuss the question when the set of exposed by some $𝒫$ points forms a $G_{\delta }$-set.

Let $I$ be an ideal in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$. Then the ideal $I$ has the strong persistence property if and only if $\left(I^{k+1}{:}_{R}I\right)=I^k$ for all $k$, and $I$ has the symbolic strong persistence property if and only if $\left(I^{(k+1)}{:}_R{I}^{\left(1\right)}\right)=I^{\left(k\right)}$ for all $k$, where $I^{\left(k\right)}$ denotes the $k$th symbolic power of $I$. We study the strong persistence property for some classes of monomial ideals. In particular, we present a family of primary monomial ideals failing the strong persistence property. Finally, we show that every square-free monomial...

Let $H$ be a finite abelian group of odd order, $𝒟$ be its generalized dihedral group, i.e., the semidirect product of $C_2$ acting on $H$ by inverting elements, where $C_2$ is the cyclic group of order two. Let $\Omega \left(𝒟\right)$ be the Burnside ring of $𝒟$, $\Delta \left(𝒟\right)$ be the augmentation ideal of $\Omega \left(𝒟\right)$. Denote by ${\Delta }^n\left(𝒟\right)$ and $Q_n\left(𝒟\right)$ the $n$th power of $\Delta \left(𝒟\right)$ and the $n$th consecutive quotient group ${\Delta }^n\left(𝒟\right)/{\Delta }^{n+1}\left(𝒟\right)$, respectively. This paper provides an explicit $\mathbb{Z}$-basis for ${\Delta }^n\left(𝒟\right)$ and determines the isomorphism class of $Q_n\left(𝒟\right)$ for each positive integer $n$.
