We characterize prime submodules of $R\times R$ for a principal ideal domain $R$ and investigate the primary decomposition of any submodule into primary submodules of $R\times R.$

Let $(K,\nu )$ be a valued field, where $\nu$ is a rank one discrete valuation. Let $R$ be its ring of valuation, $𝔪$ its maximal ideal, and $L$ an extension of $K$, defined by a monic irreducible polynomial $F\left(X\right)\in R\left[X\right]$. Assume that $\overline{F}\left(X\right)$ factors as a product of $r$ distinct powers of monic irreducible polynomials. In this paper a condition which guarantees the existence of exactly $r$ distinct valuations of $K$ extending $\nu$ is given, in such a way that it generalizes the results given in the paper “Prolongations of valuations to finite...

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with a nonzero identity. In this study, we present a new class of ideals lying properly between the class of $n$-ideals and the class of $(2,n)$-ideals. A proper ideal $I$ of $R$ is said to be a quasi $n$-ideal if $\sqrt{I}$ is an $n$-ideal of $R.$ Many examples and results are given to disclose the relations between this new concept and others that already exist, namely, the $n$-ideals, the quasi primary ideals, the $(2,n)$-ideals and the $pr$-ideals. Moreover, we use the quasi $n$-ideals to characterize some...

Some results and problems that arise in connection with the foundations of the theory of ruled and rational field extensions are discussed.

We consider analogies between the logically independent properties of strong going-between (SGB) and going-down (GD), as well as analogies between the universalizations of these properties. Transfer results are obtained for the (universally) SGB property relative to pullbacks and Nagata ring constructions. It is shown that if $A\subseteq B$ are domains such that $A$ is an LFD universally going-down domain and $B$ is algebraic over $A$, then the inclusion map $A[X_1,\cdots ,X_n]\hookrightarrow B[X_1,\cdots ,X_n]$ satisfies GB for each $n\ge 0$. However, for any nonzero ring...

A ring extension $R\subseteq S$ is said to be strongly affine if each $R$-subalgebra of $S$ is a finite-type $R$-algebra. In this paper, several characterizations of strongly affine extensions are given. For instance, we establish that if $R$ is a quasi-local ring of finite dimension, then $R\subseteq S$ is integrally closed and strongly affine if and only if $R\subseteq S$ is a Prüfer extension (i.e. $(R,S)$ is a normal pair). As a consequence, the equivalence of strongly affine extensions, quasi-Prüfer extensions and INC-pairs is shown. Let $G$ be...

For a symmetric (= invariant under the action of a compact Lie group G) semialgebraic basic set C, described by s polynomial inequalities, we show, that C can also be written by s + 1 G-invariant polynomials. We also describe orbit spaces for the action of G by a number of inequalities only depending on the structure of G.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with an identity different from zero and $n$ be a positive integer. Anderson and Badawi, in their paper on $n$-absorbing ideals, define a proper ideal $I$ of a commutative ring $R$ to be an $n$-absorbing ideal of $R$, if whenever $x_1\cdots x_{n+1}\in I$ for $x_1,...,x_{n+1}\in R$, then there are $n$ of the $x_i$’s whose product is in $I$ and conjecture that ${\omega }_{R\left[X\right]}\left(I\left[X\right]\right)={\omega }_R\left(I\right)$ for any ideal $I$ of an arbitrary ring $R$, where ${\omega }_R\left(I\right)=min\{n:I\text{is}\text{an}n\text{-absorbing}\text{ideal}\text{of}R\}$. In the present paper, we use content formula techniques to prove that their conjecture is true, if one of the following conditions...
