Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The small finitistic dimension $\fPD(R)$ of $R$ is defined to be the supremum of projective dimensions of $R$-modules with finite projective resolutions. In this paper, we characterize a ring $R$ with $\fPD(R)\leq n$ using finitely generated semi-regular ideals, tilting modules, cotilting modules of cofinite type or vaguely associated prime ideals. As an application, we obtain that if $R$ is a Noetherian ring, then $\fPD(R)= \sup\{\grade(\m,R)|\m\in \Max(R)\}$ where $\grade(\m,R)$ is the grade of $\m$ on $R$ . We also show that a ring $R$ satisfies $\fPD(R)\leq 1$ if and only if $R$ is a $\DW$ ring. As applications, we show that the small finitistic dimensions of strong \Prufer\ rings and $\LPVD$s are at most one. Moreover, for any given $n\in \mathbb{N}$, we obtain examples of total rings of quotients $R$ with $\fPD(R)=n$.

For a ring $A$, we consider the question whether every bounded above cochain complex of injective $A$-modules which is acyclic is null-homotopic. We show that if $A$ is left and right noetherian and has a dualizing complex, then this implies that the finitistic dimension of $A$ is finite. In the appendix, Nakamura and Thompson show that the opposite holds over any ring. Our results give several new necessary and sufficient conditions for a ring to have finite finitistic dimension in a very general setting. Applications include a generalization of a recent result of Rickard about relations betw…
We investigate two invariants of Noetherian semiperfect rings, namely the depth and a new invariant we call the "delooping level". These give lower and upper bounds for the finitistic dimension, respectively. As first theorems, we give a necessary and sufficient criterion for the delooping level to be finite in terms of the splitting of the unit map of a related adjunction, and use this to give a sufficient torsionfreeness criterion for finiteness. We further relate these invariants to the Auslander-Bridger grade conditions for modules, which are vanishing conditions on double Ext duals. As ma…
We establish basic results on subrings of finite commutative rings and closely related rings. Among other applications we calculate the number of maximal subrings of a finite commutative local ring.
In this paper, we introduce and study the $S$-weak global dimension $S$-w.gl.dim$(R)$ of a commutative ring $R$ for some multiplicative subset $S$ of $R$. Moreover, commutative rings with $S$-weak global dimension at most $1$ are studied. Finally, we investigated the $S$-weak global dimension of factor rings and polynomial rings.
A famous result due to I. M. Isaacs states that if a commutative ring $R$ has the property that every prime ideal is principal, then every ideal of $R$ is principal. This motivates ring theorists to study commutative rings for which every ideal is a direct sum of cyclically presented modules. In this paper, we study commutative rings whose ideals are direct sum of cyclically presented modules.
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. Under various hypotheses, it is proved that the center of $\mbox{End}_R(M)$ coincides with the endomorphism ring of the trace ideal of $M$. These results are exploited to establish results for balanced and rigid modules, and to settle certain cases of a conjecture of Huneke and Wiegand.
We use the concept of 2-absorbing ideal introduced by Badawi to study those commutative rings in which every proper ideal is a product of 2-absorbing ideals (we call them TAF-rings). Any TAF-ring has dimension at most one and the local TAF-domains are the atomic pseudo-valuation domains.
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$. In this paper, we introduce the cozero-divisor graph $\acuteΓ_I(R)$ of $R$ and obtain some related results.
In this work, the set of quasi-primary ideals of a commutative ring with identity is equipped with a topology and is called quasi-primary spectrum. Some topological properties of this space are examined. Further, a sheaf of rings on the quasi-primary spectrum is constructed and it is shown that this sheaf is the direct image sheaf with respect to the inclusion map from the prime spectrum of a ring to the quasi-primary spectrum of the same ring.
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $R$. First, we introduce and study the $S$-projective dimensions and $S$-injective dimensions of $R$-modules, and then explore the $S$-global dimension $S$-gl.dim$(R)$ of a commutative ring $R$ which is defined to be the supremum of $S$-projective dimensions of all $R$-modules. Finally, we investigated the $S$-global dimension of factor rings and polynomial rings.
In this paper, we introduce and study the notions of $τ_q$-flat modules and $τ_q$-coheret rings. First, by investigating the Nagata rings of $τ_q$-torsion theory, we show that the small finitistic dimensions of T$(R[x])$ are all equal to $0$ for any ring $R$. Then, we introduce the notion of $τ_q$-VN regular rings (i.e. over which all modules are $τ_q$-flat), and show that a ring $R$ is a $τ_q$-VN regular ring if and only if T$(R[x])$ is a von Neumann regular ring. Finally, we obtain the Chase theorem for $τ_q$-coheret rings: a ring $R$ is $τ_q$-coherent if and only if any direct product of $R…
This paper deals with the graded commutative rings in which every homogeneous prime ideal is contained in a unique homogeneous maximal ideal called Gelfand graded ring. The purpose is to establish some topological and algebraic characterizations of these rings, one of which is the algebraic analogue of the Urysohn's lemma. Finally we look at a special class of those graded rings called pm$^+$ graded rings which can be viewed as graded ring with a Gelfand strong property.
We count the number of submodules of an arbitrary module over a countable noetherian commutative ring. We give, along the way, a structural description of meager modules, which are defined as those that do not have the square of a simple module as subquotient. We deduce in particular a characterization of uniserial modules over commutative noetherian rings.
We show that the cosupport of a commutative noetherian ring is precisely the set of primes appearing in a minimal pure-injective resolution of the ring. As an application of this, we prove that every countable commutative noetherian ring has full cosupport. We also settle the comparison of cosupport and support of finitely generated modules over any commutative noetherian ring of finite Krull dimension. Finally, we give an example showing that the cosupport of a finitely generated module need not be a closed subset of $\operatorname{Spec}(R)$, providing a negative answer to a question of Sathe…
In commutative ring theory, there is a theorem of Cohen which states that if in a commutative ring all prime ideals are finitely generated then every ideal is finitely generated. However, it is known that having only maximal ideals finitely generated doesn't imply all ideals be finitely generated. In his article we ask the question that what happens if we assume all non-maximal ideals are finitely generated, and we answer the question by showing that indeed then all maximal ideals are also finitely generated i.e. the ring becomes Noetherian.
Let $G$ be a group with identity $e$. Let $R$ be a $G$-graded commutative ring and $M$ a graded $R$-module. In this paper, we introduce the concept of graded classical and graded strongly classical 2-absorbing second submodules of graded modules over a graded commutative rings. A number of results concerning these classes of graded submodules and their homogeneous components are given.
We study the transfer of (co)silting objects in derived categories of module categories via the extension functors induced by a morphism of commutative rings. It is proved that the extension functors preserve (co)silting objects of (co)finite type. In many cases the bounded silting property descends along faithfully flat ring extensions. In particular, the notion of bounded silting complex is Zariski local.
All rings are commutative with $1\neq0$. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the concept of weakly $n$-absorbing ideals generalizing weakly 2-absorbing ideals. We prove that over a $u$-ring $R$ the Anderson-Badawi's conjectures about $n$-absorbing ideals and the Badawi-Yousefian's question about weakly 2-absorbing ideals hold.
Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring. Recently, Dibaei and Sadeghi have studied the reduced grade of a horizontally linked R-module M of finite GC-dimension, where C is a semidualizing R-module. In this paper, we highly refine their results. In particular, our main result removes the assumptions that M is holizontally linked and M has finite GC -dimension.
In this article we extend the notion of expansivity from topological dynamics to automorphisms of commutative rings with identity. We show that a ring admits a 0-expansive automorphism if and only if it is a finite product of local rings. Generalizing a well known result of compact metric spaces, we prove that if a ring admits a positively expansive automorphism then it admits finitely many maximal ideals. We prove its converse for principal ideal domains. We also consider the topological expansivity induced, in the spectrum of the ring with the Zariski topology, by an automorphism and some co…
Assume that $R$ is a commutative ring with nonzero identity. In this paper, we introduce and investigate zero-annihilator graph of $R$ denoted by $\mathtt{ZA}(R)$. It is the graph whose vertex set is the set of all nonzero nonunit elements of $R$ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent whenever ${\rm Ann}_R(x)\cap {\rm Ann}_R(y)=\{0\}$.
The ring of integer-valued polynomials on an arbitrary integral domain is well-studied. In this paper we initiate and provide motivation for the study of integer-valued polynomials on commutative rings and modules. Several examples are computed, including the integer-valued polynomials over the ring $R[T_1,\ldots, T_n]/(T_1(T_1-r_1), \ldots, T_n(T_n-r_n))$ for any commutative ring $R$ and any elements $r_1, \ldots, r_n$ of $R$, as well as the integer-valued polynomials over the Nagata idealization $R(+)M$ of $M$ over $R$, where $M$ is an $R$-module such that every non-zerodivisor on $M$ is a n…
We determine the metric dimension of the annihilating-ideal graph of a local finite commutative principal ring and a finite commutative principal ring with two maximal ideals. We also find the bounds for the metric dimension of the annihilating-ideal graph of an arbitrary finite commutative principal ring.
Let $A$ be a commutative augmented ring and $I$ be its augmentation ideal. This paper shows that the sequence $\{I^n/I^{n+1}\}$ becomes stationary up to isomorphism. The result yields stability in the associated graded ring of $A$ along $I$.
In this paper we prove that if $R$ is a commutative, reduced, local ring, then $R$ is Hopfian if and only if the ring $R[x]$ is Hopfian. This answers a question of Varadarajan, in the case when $R$ is a reduced local ring. We provide examples of non-Noetherian Hopfian commutative domains by proving that the finite dimensional domains are Hopfian. Also, we derive some general results related to Hopfian rings.
Absolute integral closures of general commutative unital rings are explored. All rings admit absolute integral closures, but in general they are not unique. Among the reduced rings with finitely many minimal prime ideals, finite products of domains are the only rings for which they are unique. Arguments using model theory suggest that the same holds for all infinite rings that are finite products of connected rings. Universal absolute integral closures, which contain every aic of a given ring, are shown to exist for certain subrings of products of domains.
