We characterize clean elements of $ℛ\left(L\right)$ and show that $\alpha \in ℛ\left(L\right)$ is clean if and only if there exists a clopen sublocale $U$ in $L$ such that ${𝔠}_L\left(\mathrm{coz}(\alpha -\mathbf{1})\right)\subseteq U\subseteq {𝔬}_L\left(\mathrm{coz}\left(\alpha \right)\right)$. Also, we prove that $ℛ\left(L\right)$ is clean if and only if $ℛ\left(L\right)$ has a clean prime ideal. Then, according to the results about $ℛ\left(L\right),$ we immediately get results about ${𝒞}_c\left(L\right).$

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 $n$.

Let $R$ and $S$ be commutative rings with unity, $f:R\to S$ a ring homomorphism and $J$ an ideal of $S$. Then the subring $R{\bowtie }^{f}J:=\{(a,f\left(a\right)+j)\mid a\in R$ and $j\in J\}$ of $R\times S$ is called the amalgamation of $R$ with $S$ along $J$ with respect to $f$. In this paper, we determine when $R{\bowtie }^{f}J$ is a (generalized) filter ring.

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.

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...

A $*$-ring $R$ is strongly 2-nil-$*$-clean if every element in $R$ is the sum of two projections and a nilpotent that commute. Fundamental properties of such $*$-rings are obtained. We prove that a $*$-ring $R$ is strongly 2-nil-$*$-clean if and only if for all $a\in R$, $a^2\in R$ is strongly nil-$*$-clean, if and only if for any $a\in R$ there exists a $*$-tripotent $e\in R$ such that $a-e\in R$ is nilpotent and $ea=ae$, if and only if $R$ is a strongly $*$-clean SN ring, if and only if $R$ is abelian, $J\left(R\right)$ is nil and $R/J\left(R\right)$ is $*$-tripotent. Furthermore, we explore...

Let $R$ be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2 and 3, $Q_r$ its right Martindale quotient ring, $C$ its extended centroid, $L$ a non-central Lie ideal of $R$ and $n\ge 1$ a fixed positive integer. Let $\alpha$ be an automorphism of the ring $R$. An additive map $D:R\to R$ is called an $\alpha$-derivation (or a skew derivation) on $R$ if $D\left(xy\right)=D\left(x\right)y+\alpha \left(x\right)D\left(y\right)$ for all $x,y\in R$. An additive mapping $F:R\to R$ is called a generalized $\alpha$-derivation (or a generalized skew derivation) on $R$ if there exists a skew derivation $D$ on $R$ such that $F\left(xy\right)=F\left(x\right)y+\alpha \left(x\right)D\left(y\right)$ for all $x,y\in R$. We prove...

For $k\in \mathbb{N}\cup \left\{\infty \right\}$ and $U$ open in $ℝ$, let ${\mathrm{C}}^k\left(U\right)$ be the ring of real valued functions on $U$ with the first $k$ derivatives continuous. It is shown that for $f\in {\mathrm{C}}^k\left(U\right)$ there is $g\in {\mathrm{C}}^{\infty }\left(ℝ\right)$ with $U\subseteq \mathrm{coz}g$ and $h\in {\mathrm{C}}^k\left(ℝ\right)$ with ${fg|}_U{=h|}_U$. The function $f$ and its $k$ derivatives are not assumed to be bounded on $U$. The function $g$ is constructed using splines based on the Mollifier function. Some consequences about the ring ${\mathrm{C}}^k\left(ℝ\right)$ are deduced from this, in particular that ${\mathrm{Q}}_{\mathrm{cl}}\left({\mathrm{C}}^k\left(ℝ\right)\right)=\mathrm{Q}\left({\mathrm{C}}^k\left(ℝ\right)\right)$.

Let $M(X,𝒜)$ ($M^{*}(X,𝒜)$) be the $f$-ring of all (bounded) real-measurable functions on a $T$-measurable space $(X,𝒜)$, let $M_K(X,𝒜)$ be the family of all $f\in M(X,𝒜)$ such that $\mathrm{coz}\left(f\right)$ is compact, and let $M_{\infty }(X,𝒜)$ be all $f\in M(X,𝒜)$ that $\{x\in X:|f\left(x\right)|\ge \frac{1}{n}\}$ is compact for any $n\in \mathbb{N}$. We introduce realcompact subrings of $M(X,𝒜)$, we show that $M^{*}(X,𝒜)$ is a realcompact subring of $M(X,𝒜)$, and also $M(X,𝒜)$ is a realcompact if and only if $(X,𝒜)$ is a compact measurable space. For every nonzero real Riesz map $\varphi :M(X,𝒜)\to ℝ$, we prove that there is an element $x_0\in X$ such that $\varphi \left(f\right)=f\left(x_0\right)$ for every $f\in M(X,𝒜)$ if $(X,𝒜)$ is a compact measurable space....

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 $C\left(X\right)$...
