Matroids over a ring

Alex Fink, Luca Moci (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We introduce the notion of a matroid M over a commutative ring R , assigning to every subset of the ground set an R -module according to some axioms. When R is a field, we recover matroids. When R = , and when R is a DVR, we get (structures which contain all the data of) quasi-arithmetic matroids, and valuated matroids, i.e. tropical linear spaces, respectively. More generally, whenever R is a Dedekind domain, we extend all the usual properties and operations holding for matroids (e.g., duality), and...

Maximal non-Jaffard subrings of a field.

Mabrouk Ben Nasr, Noôman Jarboui (2000)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

A domain R is called a maximal non-Jaffard subring of a field L if R ⊂ L, R is not a Jaffard domain and each domain T such that R ⊂ T ⊆ L is Jaffard. We show that maximal non-Jaffard subrings R of a field L are the integrally closed pseudo-valuation domains satisfying dimv R = dim R + 1. Further characterizations are given. Maximal non-universally catenarian subrings of their quotient fields are also studied. It is proved that this class of domains coincides with the previous class when R is integrally...
