Semidistributive Modules and Rings

A module M is called distributive if the lattice Lat(M) of all its submodules is distributive, i.e., Fn(G + H) = FnG + FnH for all submodules F,G, and H of the module M. A module M is called uniserial if all its submodules are comparable with respect to inclusion, i.e., the lattice Lat(M) is a chain. Any direct sum of distributive (resp. uniserial) modules is called a semidistributive (resp. serial) module. The class of distributive (resp. semidistributive) modules properly cont.ains the class ofall uniserial (resp. serial) modules. In particular, all simple (resp. semisimple) modules are distributive (resp. semidistributive). All strongly regular rings (for example, all factor rings of direct products of division rings and all commutative regular rings) are distributive; all valuation rings in division rings and all commutative Dedekind rings (e.g., rings of integral algebraic numbers or commutative principal ideal rings) are distributive. A module is called a Bezout module or a locally cyclic module ifevery finitely generated submodule is cyclic. If all maximal right ideals of a ring A are ideals (e.g., if A is commutative), then all Bezout A-modules are distributive.

Rings Close to Regular

Preface All rings are assumed to be associative and (except for nilrings and some stipulated cases) to have nonzero identity elements. A ring A is said to be regular if for every element a E A, there exists an element b E A with a = aba. Regular rings are well studied. For example, [163] and [350] are devoted to regular rings. A ring A is said to be tr-regular if for every element a E A, there is an element n b E A such that an = anba for some positive integer n. A ring A is said to be strongly tr-regular if for every a E A, there is a positive integer n with n 1 n an E a + An Aa +1. It is proved in [128] that A is a strongly tr-regular ring if and only if for every element a E A, there is a positive integer m with m 1 am E a + A. Every strongly tr-regular ring is tr-regular [38]. If F is a division ring and M is a right vector F-space with infinite basis {ei}~l' then End(MF) is a regular (and tr-regular) ring that is not strongly tr-regular. The factor ring of the ring of integers with respect to the ideal generated by the integer 4 is a strongly tr-regular ring that is not regular.

Distributive Modules and Related Topics

  • Publisher: CRC Press

A comprehensive introduction to the homological and structural methods of ring theory and related topics, this book includes original results as well as the most recent work in the field. It is unique in that it concentrates on distributive modules and rings, an area in which the author is recognized as one of the world's leading experts. A module is said to be distributive if the lattice of its submodules is distributive. Distributive rings are exemplified by factor rings of direct products of division rings, commutative semihereditary rings, and uniserial rings. Direct sums of distributive modules are studied in detail, as well as relations with flat modules and modules whose endomorphisms could be extended or lifted. Starting from a basic understanding of linear algebra, the theory is presented and accompanied by complete proofs. A number of exercises are also included to give further insight into the topics covered and to draw attention to relevant results in the literature. This detailed and comprehensive book will be an invaluable source of reference to researchers and specialists in this area.

Cyclic Modules and the Structure of Rings

This unique monograph brings together important material in the field of noncommutative rings and modules. It provides an up-to-date account of the topic of cyclic modules and the structure of rings which will be of particular interest to those working in abstract algebra and to graduate students who are exploring potential research topics.

Endomorphism Rings of Abelian Groups

Every Abelian group can be related to an associative ring with an identity element, the ring of all its endomorphisms. Recently the theory of endomor phism rings of Abelian groups has become a rapidly developing area of algebra. On the one hand, it can be considered as a part of the theory of Abelian groups; on the other hand, the theory can be considered as a branch of the theory of endomorphism rings of modules and the representation theory of rings. There are several reasons for studying endomorphism rings of Abelian groups: first, it makes it possible to acquire additional information about Abelian groups themselves, to introduce new concepts and methods, and to find new interesting clas...

  • Publisher: CRC Press

With contributions derived from presentations at an international conference, Non-Associative Algebra and Its Applications explores a wide range of topics focusing on Lie algebras, nonassociative rings and algebras, quasigroups, loops, and related systems as well as applications of nonassociative algebra to geometry, physics, and natural sciences. This book covers material such as Jordan superalgebras, nonassociative deformations, nonassociative generalization of Hopf algebras, the structure of free algebras, derivations of Lie algebras, and the identities of Albert algebra. It also includes applications of smooth quasigroups and loops to differential geometry and relativity.
