Let $R$ be a commutative ring with nonzero identity, let $ℐ\left(ℛ\right)$ be the set of all ideals of $R$ and $\delta :ℐ\left(ℛ\right)\to ℐ\left(ℛ\right)$ an expansion of ideals of $R$ defined by $I\mapsto \delta \left(I\right)$. We introduce the concept of $(\delta ,2)$-primary ideals in commutative rings. A proper ideal $I$ of $R$ is called a $(\delta ,2)$-primary ideal if whenever $a,b\in R$ and $ab\in I$, then $a^2\in I$ or $b^2\in \delta \left(I\right)$. Our purpose is to extend the concept of $2$-ideals to $(\delta ,2)$-primary ideals of commutative rings. Then we investigate the basic properties of $(\delta ,2)$-primary ideals and also discuss the relations among $(\delta ,2)$-primary, $\delta$-primary...

It is known that $ℬ\left({\ell }^p\right)$ is not amenable for p = 1,2,∞, but whether or not $ℬ\left({\ell }^p\right)$ is amenable for p ∈ (1,∞) ∖ 2 is an open problem. We show that, if $ℬ\left({\ell }^p\right)$ is amenable for p ∈ (1,∞), then so are ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(ℬ\left({\ell }^p\right)\right)$ and ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(\left({\ell }^p\right)\right)$. Moreover, if ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(\left({\ell }^p\right)\right)$ is amenable so is ${\ell }^{\infty }(,\left(E\right))$ for any index set and for any infinite-dimensional ${ℒ}^p$-space E; in particular, if ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(\left({\ell }^p\right)\right)$ is amenable for p ∈ (1,∞), then so is ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(\left({\ell }^p\oplus \ell ²\right)\right)$. We show that ${\ell }^{\infty }\left(\left({\ell }^p\oplus \ell ²\right)\right)$ is not amenable for p = 1,∞, but also that our methods fail us if p ∈ (1,∞). Finally, for p ∈ (1,2) and a free ultrafilter over...

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.

A nonzero $R$-module $M$ is atomic if for each two nonzero elements $a,b$ in $M$, both cyclic submodules $Ra$ and $Rb$ have nonzero isomorphic submodules. In this article it is shown that for an infinite $P$-space $X$, the factor rings $C(X,\mathbb{Z})/C_F(X,\mathbb{Z})$ and $C_c\left(X\right)/C_F\left(X\right)$ have no atomic ideals. This fact generalizes a result published in paper by A. Mozaffarikhah, E. Momtahan, A. R. Olfati and S. Safaeeyan (2020), which says that for an infinite set $X$, the factor ring ${\mathbb{Z}}^X/{\mathbb{Z}}^{\left(X\right)}$ has no atomic ideal. Another result is that for each infinite...

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $𝕜$ of characteristic 0, and $𝔤=LieG$. Let $(e,h,f)$ be an $𝔰{𝔩}_2$-triple in $𝔤$ with $e$ being a long root vector in $𝔤$. Let $(·,·)$ be the $G$-invariant bilinear form on $𝔤$ with $(e,f)=1$ and let $\chi \in {𝔤}^{*}$ be such that $\chi \left(x\right)=(e,x)$ for all $x\in 𝔤$. Let $𝒮$ be the Slodowy slice at $e$ through the adjoint orbit of $e$ and let $H$ be the enveloping algebra of $𝒮$; see [31]. In this article we give an explicit presentation of $H$ by generators and relations. As a consequence we deduce that $H$ contains...

Let $A\left(X\right)$ denote a subalgebra of $C\left(X\right)$ which is closed under local bounded inversion, briefly, an $LBI$-subalgebra. These subalgebras were first introduced and studied in Redlin L., Watson S., Structure spaces for rings of continuous functions with applications to realcompactifications, Fund. Math. 152 (1997), 151–163. By characterizing maximal ideals of $A\left(X\right)$, we generalize the notion of $z_A^{\beta }$-ideals, which was first introduced in Acharyya S.K., De D., An interesting class of ideals in subalgebras of $C\left(X\right)$...

Let $A$ be a commutative ring and $𝒮$ a multiplicative system of ideals. We say that $A$ is $𝒮$-Noetherian, if for each ideal $Q$ of $A$, there exist $I\in 𝒮$ and a finitely generated ideal $F\subseteq Q$ such that $IQ\subseteq F$. In this paper, we study the transfer of this property to the polynomial ring and Nagata’s idealization.

Given a locale $L$ and a join semilattice $J$ with bottom element $0_J$, a new concept $(\sigma ,J)$ called $L$-slice is defined,where $\sigma$ is as an action of the locale $L$ on the join semilattice $J$. The $L$-slice $(\sigma ,J)$ adopts topological properties of the locale $L$ through the action $\sigma$. It is shown that for each $a\in L$, ${\sigma }_a$ is an interior operator on $(\sigma ,J)$.The collection $M=\{{\sigma }_a;a\in L\}$ is a Priestly space and a subslice of $L$-$Hom(J,J)$. If the locale $L$ is spatial we establish an isomorphism between the $L$-slices $(\sigma ,L)$ and $(\delta ,M)$. We have shown that the fixed...

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...

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...

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...

Let $X$ be a zero-dimensional space and $C_c\left(X\right)$ be the set of all continuous real valued functions on $X$ with countable image. In this article we denote by $C_c^K\left(X\right)$ (resp., $C_c^{\psi }\left(X\right))$ the set of all functions in $C_c\left(X\right)$ with compact (resp., pseudocompact) support. First, we observe that $C_c^K\left(X\right)=O_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus X}$ (resp., $C_c^{\psi }\left(X\right)=M_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus {\upsilon }_{0}X}$), where ${\beta }_{0}X$ is the Banaschewski compactification of $X$ and ${\upsilon }_{0}X$ is the $\mathbb{N}$-compactification of $X$. This implies that for an $\mathbb{N}$-compact space $X$, the intersection of all free maximal ideals in $C_c\left(X\right)$ is equal to $C_c^K\left(X\right)$, i.e., $M_c^{{\beta }_{0}X\setminus X}=C_c^K\left(X\right)$. By applying...

Let $\mathscr{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space, $A$ a positive operator with closed range in $ℬ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ and ${ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ the sub-algebra of $ℬ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ of all $A$-self-adjoint operators. Assume $\phi :{ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ onto itself is a linear continuous map. This paper shows that if $\phi$ preserves $A$-unitary operators such that $\phi \left(I\right)=P$ then $\psi$ defined by $\psi \left(T\right)=P\phi \left(PT\right)$ is a homomorphism or an anti-homomorphism and $\psi \left(T^{♯}\right)=\psi {\left(T\right)}^{♯}$ for all $T\in {ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$, where $P=A^{+}A$ and $A^{+}$ is the Moore-Penrose inverse of $A$. A similar result is also true if $\phi$ preserves $A$-quasi-unitary operators in both directions such that there...
