Annihilators of nilpotent elements.
Let be a noncommutative prime ring of characteristic different from 2, with its two-sided Martindale quotient ring , the extended centroid of and . Suppose that is a nonzero -derivation of such that for all , where is an automorphism of , and are fixed positive integers. Then .
We extend the theory of spinor class fields and relative spinor class fields to study representation problems in several classical linear algebraic groups over number fields. We apply this theory to study the set of isomorphism classes of maximal orders of central simple algebras containing a given maximal Abelian suborder. We also study isometric embeddings of one skew-Hermitian Quaternionic lattice into another.
The problem of when derivations (and their powers) have the range in the Jacobson radical is considered. The proofs are based on the density theorem for derivations.
This work discusses the problem of Arens regularity of a lattice-ordered ring. In this prospect, a counterexample is furnished to show that without extra conditions, a lattice-ordered ring need not be Arens regular. However, as shown in this paper, it turns out that any -ring in the sense of Birkhoff and Pierce is Arens regular. This result is then used and extended to the more general setting of almost -rings introduced again by Birkhoff.
A ring R is called an E-ring if every endomorphism of R⁺, the additive group of R, is multiplication on the left by an element of R. This is a well known notion in the theory of abelian groups. We want to change the "E" as in endomorphisms to an "A" as in automorphisms: We define a ring to be an A-ring if every automorphism of R⁺ is multiplication on the left by some element of R. We show that many torsion-free finite rank (tffr) A-rings are actually E-rings. While we have an example of a mixed...
