ANNIHILATORS AND A + B RINGS
Title
ANNIHILATORS AND A + B RINGS.
Creator
Epstein, Alexandra Nicole, Klingler, Lee, Florida Atlantic University, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science
Abstract/Description
A + B rings are constructed from a ring A and nonempty set of prime ideals of A. Initially, these rings were created to provide examples of reduced rings which satisfy certain annihilator conditions. We describe precisely when A + B rings have these properties, based on the ring A and set of prime ideals of A. We continue by giving necessary and su cient conditions for A + B rings to have various other properties. We also consider annihilators in the context of frames of ideals of reduced rings.

prime spectrum of a ring: A survey
Title
The prime spectrum of a ring: A survey.
Creator
Fernandez, James Stephen, Florida Atlantic University, Klingler, Lee
Abstract/Description
This thesis has as its motivation the exploration, on an informal level, of a correspondence between Algebra and Topology. Specifically, it considers the prime spectrum of a ring, that is, the set of prime ideals, endowed with the Zariski topology. Questions posed by M. Atiyah and I. MacDonald in their book, "Introduction to Commutative Algebra", serve as a guideline through most of this work. The final section, however, follows R.

Show moreThis thesis has as its motivation the exploration, on an informal level, of a correspondence between Algebra and Topology. Specifically, it considers the prime spectrum of a ring, that is, the set of prime ideals, endowed with the Zariski topology. Questions posed by M. Atiyah and I. MacDonald in their book, "Introduction to Commutative Algebra", serve as a guideline through most of this work. The final section, however, follows R. Heitmann's paper, "Generating Non-Noetherian Modules Efficiently". This section examines the patch topology on the prime spectrum of a ring where the patch topology has as a closed subbasis the Zariski closed and Zariski quasi-compact open sets. It is proven that the prime spectrum of a ring with the patch topology is a compact Hausdorff space, and several relationships between the patch and Zariski topologies are established. The final section concludes with a technical theorem having a number of interesting corollaries, among which are a stable range theorem and a theorem of Kronecker, both generalized to the non-Noetherian setting.

Unique decomposition of direct sums of ideals
Title
Unique decomposition of direct sums of ideals.
Creator
Ay, Basak., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Abstract/Description
We say that a commutative ring R has the unique decomposition into ideals (UDI) property if, for any R-module which decomposes into a finite direct sum of indecomposable ideals, this decomposition is unique up to the order and isomorphism class of the ideals. In a 2001 paper, Goeters and Olberding characterize the UDI property for Noetherian integral domains. In Chapters 1-3 the UDI property for reduced Noetherian rings is characterized. In Chapter 4 it is shown that overrings of one...
Show moreWe say that a commutative ring R has the unique decomposition into ideals (UDI) property if, for any R-module which decomposes into a finite direct sum of indecomposable ideals, this decomposition is unique up to the order and isomorphism class of the ideals. In a 2001 paper, Goeters and Olberding characterize the UDI property for Noetherian integral domains. In Chapters 1-3 the UDI property for reduced Noetherian rings is characterized. In Chapter 4 it is shown that overrings of one-dimensional reduced commutative Noetherian rings with the UDI property have the UDI property, also. In Chapter 5 we show that the UDI property implies the Krull-Schmidt property for direct sums of torsion-free rank one modules for a reduced local commutative Noetherian one-dimensional ring R.

Minimal zero-dimensional extensions

Minimal zero-dimensional extensions.
Creator
Chiorescu, Marcela, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Abstract/Description
The structure of minimal zero-dimensional extension of rings with Noetherian spectrum in which zero is a primary ideal and with at most one prime ideal of height greater than one is determined. These rings include K[[X,T]] where K is a field and Dedenkind domains, but need not be Noetherian nor integrally closed. We show that for such a ring R there is a one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of minimal zero-dimensional extensions of R and sets M, where the elements of M are...

These rings include K[[X,T]] where K is a field and Dedenkind domains, but need not be Noetherian nor integrally closed. We show that for such a ring R there is a one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of minimal zero-dimensional extensions of R and sets M, where the elements of M are ideals of R primary for distinct prime ideals of height greater than zero. A subsidiary result is the classification of minimal zero-dimensional extensions of general ZPI-rings.

Pruefer domains, the strong 2-generator property, and integer-valued polynomials

Pruefer domains, the strong 2-generator property, and integer-valued polynomials.
Creator
Roth, Heather., Florida Atlantic University, Klingler, Lee
Abstract/Description
We present several results involving three concepts: Prufer domains, the strong 2-generator property, and integer-valued polynomials. An integral domain D is called a Prufer domain if every nonzero finitely generated ideal of D is invertible. When each 2-generated ideal of D has the property that one of its generators can be any arbitrary selected nonzero element of the ideal, we say D has the strong 2-generator property . We note that, if D has the strong 2-generator property, then D is a...

An integral domain D is called a Prufer domain if every nonzero finitely generated ideal of D is invertible. When each 2-generated ideal of D has the property that one of its generators can be any arbitrary selected nonzero element of the ideal, we say D has the strong 2-generator property . We note that, if D has the strong 2-generator property, then D is a Prufer domain. If Q is the field of fractions of D, and E is a finite nonempty subset of D; we define Int(E, D ) = {f(X) ∈ Q[ X] ∣ f(a) ∈ D for every a ∈ E} to be the ring of integer-valued polynomials on D with respect to the subset E. We show that D is a Prufer domain if and only if Int(E, D) is a Prufer domain. Our main theorem is that Int(E, D) has the strong 2-generator property if and only if D is a Bezout domain (that is, every finitely generated ideal of D is principal).

Polynomials that are integer valued on the image of an integer-valued polynomial
Title
Polynomials that are integer valued on the image of an integer-valued polynomial.
Creator
Marshall, Mario V., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Abstract/Description
Let D be an integral domain and f a polynomial that is integer-valued on D. We prove that Int(f(D);D) has the Skolem Property and give a description of its spectrum. For certain discrete valuation domains we give a basis for the ring of integer-valued even polynomials. For these discrete valuation domains, we also give a series expansion of continuous integer-valued functions.

Maximally Prüfer rings

Maximally Prüfer rings.
Creator
Sharma, Madhav, Klingler, Lee, Florida Atlantic University, Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Abstract/Description
In this dissertation, we consider six Prufer-like conditions on acommutative ring R. These conditions form a hierarchy. Being a Prufer ring is not a local property: a Prufer ring may not remain a Prufer ring when localized at a prime or maximal ideal. We introduce a seventh condition based on this fact and extend the hierarchy. All the conditions of the hierarchy become equivalent in the case of a domain, namely a Prufer domain. We also seek the relationship of the hierarchy with strong...

In this dissertation, we will investigate aspects of Auslander-Reiten theory adapted to the setting of systems of submodule embeddings. Using this theory, we can compute Auslander-Reiten quivers of such categories, which among other information, yields valuable information about the indecomposable objects in such a category.

Show moreIn this dissertation, we will investigate aspects of Auslander-Reiten theory adapted to the setting of systems of submodule embeddings. Using this theory, we can compute Auslander-Reiten quivers of such categories, which among other information, yields valuable information about the indecomposable objects in such a category. A main result of the dissertation is an adaptation to this situation of the Auslander and Ringel-Tachikawa Theorem which states that for an artinian ring R of finite representation type, each R-module is a direct sum of finite-length indecomposable R-modules. In cases where this applies, the indecomposable objects obtained in the Auslander-Reiten quiver give the building blocks for the objects in the category. We also briefly discuss in which cases systems of submodule embeddings form a Frobenius category, and for a few examples explore pointwise Calabi-Yau dimension of such a category.

Abstract/Description
For D an integral domain with field of fractions K and E a subset of K, the ring Int (E,D) = {f e K[X]lf (E) C D} of integer-valued polynomials on E has been well studies. In particulare, when E is a finite subset of D, Chapman, Loper, and Smith, as well as Boynton and Klingler, obtained a bound on the number of elements needed to generate a finitely generated ideal of Ing (E, D) in terms of the corresponding bound for D.

We obtain analogous results for Int (r) (E, D) - {f e K [X]lf(k) (E) c D for all 0 < k < r} , for finite E and fixed integer r > 1. These results rely on the work of Skolem [23] and Brizolis [7], who found ways to characterize ideals of Int (E, D) from the values of their polynomials at points in D. We obtain similar results for E = D in case D is local, Noetherian, one-dimensional, analytically irreducible, with finite residue field.

study of divisors and algebras on a double cover of the affine plane
Title
A study of divisors and algebras on a double cover of the affine plane.
Creator
Bulj, Djordje., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Abstract/Description
An algebraic surface defined by an equation of the form z2 = (x+a1y) ... (x + any) (x - 1) is studied, from both an algebraic and geometric point of view. It is shown that the surface is rational and contains a singular point which is nonrational. The class group of Weil divisors is computed and the Brauer group of Azumaya algebras is studied. Viewing the surface as a cyclic cover of the affine plane, all of the terms in the cohomology sequence of Chase, Harrison and Roseberg are computed.

Let D be an integral domain with field of fractions K, and let E be a nonempty finite subset of D. For n > 2, we show that the n-generator property for D is equivalent to the n-generator property for Int(E, D), which is equivalent to strong (n + 1)-generator property for Int(E, D).

We characterize all Prufer domains R between D[X] and K[X]such that the conductor C of K[X] into R is non-zero. As an application, we show that for n > 2, such a ring R has the n-generator property (every finitely generated ideal can be generated by n elements) if and only if R/C has the same property.
