A general theory of Fountain-Gould quotient rings
Let , be an algebraic lattice. It is well-known that with its topological structure is topologically scattered if and only if is ordered scattered with respect to its algebraic structure. In this note we prove that, if is a distributive algebraic lattice in which every element is the infimum of finitely many primes, then has Krull-dimension if and only if has derived dimension. We also prove the same result for , the set of all prime elements of . Hence the dimensions on the lattice...
In this paper we study a condition right FGTF on a ring R, namely when all finitely generated torsionless right R-modules embed in a free module. We show that for a von Neuman regular (VNR) ring R the condition is equivalent to every matrix ring Rn is a Baer ring; and this is right-left symmetric. Furthermore, for any Utumi VNR, this can be strengthened: R is FGTF iff R is self-injective.
The concept of a Prüfer ring is studied in the case of rings with involution such that it coincides with the corresponding notion in the case of commutative rings.
Using quantum sections of filtered rings and the associated Rees rings one can lift the scheme structure on Proj of the associated graded ring to the Proj of the Rees ring. The algebras of interest here are positively filtered rings having a non-commutative regular quadratic algebra for the associated graded ring; these are the so-called gauge algebras obtaining their name from special examples appearing in E. Witten's gauge theories. The paper surveys basic definitions and properties but concentrates...
