A proper ideal $P$ of a commutative ring with identity is an almost prime ideal if $ab \in P{\setminus}P^2$ implies $a \in P$ or $b \in P$. In this paper we define almost prime ideals of a noncommutative ring, and provide some equivalent definitions. We also examine some cases such that all right ideals of a noncommutative ring are almost prime right ideals.
In this paper we introduce prime fuzzy ideals over a noncommutative ring. This notion of primeness is equivalent to level cuts being crisp prime ideals. It also generalizes the one provided by Kumbhojkar and Bapat in [Not-so-fuzzy fuzzy ideals, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 37 (1990), 237--243], which lacks this equivalence in a noncommutative setting. Semiprime fuzzy ideals over a noncommutative ring are also defined and characterized as intersection of primes. This allows us to introduce the fuzzy prime radical and contribute to establish the basis of a Fuzzy Noncommutative Ring Theory.
We study topological properties of the correspondence of prime spectra associated to a noncommutative ring homomorphism R -> S. Our main result provides criteria for the adjointness of certain functors between the categories of Zariski closed subsets of Spec(R) and Spec(S); these functors arise naturally from restriction and extension of scalars. When R and S are left noetherian, adjointness occurs only for centralizing and ``nearly centralizing'' homomorphisms.
We study rational actions of an algebraic torus G by automorphisms on an associative algebra R. The G-action on R induces a stratification of the prime spectrum of R which was introduced by Goodearl and Letzter. For a noetherian algebra R, Goodearl and Letzter showed that the strata of the spectrum of R are isomorphic to the spectra of certain commutative Laurent polynomial algebras. The purpose of this note is to give a new proof of this result which works for arbitrary algebras R.
Completely prime right ideals are introduced as a one-sided generalization of the concept of a prime ideal in a commutative ring. Some of their basic properties are investigated, pointing out both similarities and differences between these right ideals and their commutative counterparts. We prove the Completely Prime Ideal Principle, a theorem stating that right ideals that are maximal in a specific sense must be completely prime. We offer a number of applications of the Completely Prime Ideal Principle arising from many diverse concepts in rings and modules. These applications show how comple…
The following dichotomy is established: A finitely generated, complex Dedekind domain that is not commutative is simple. Weaker versions of this dichotomy are proved for Dedekind prime rings and hereditary noetherian prime rings.
We study some properties of graded idealizer rings with an emphasis on applications to the theory of noncommutative projective geometry. In particular we give examples of rings for which the $χ$-conditions of Artin and Zhang and the strong noetherian property have very different behavior on the left and right sides.
A subspace of an algebra with involution is called a Lie skew-ideal if it is closed under Lie products with skew-symmetric elements. Lie skew-ideals are classified in central simple algebras with involution (there are eight of them for involutions of the first kind and four for involutions of the second kind) and this classification result is used to characterize noncommutative polynomials via their values in these algebras. As an application, we deduce that a polynomial is a sum of commutators and a polynomial identity of $d\times d$ matrices if and only if all of its values in the algebra of…
Standard noncommutative Gröbner basis procedures are used for computing ideals of free noncommutative polynomial rings over fields. This paper describes Gröbner basis procedures for one-sided ideals in finitely presented noncommutative algebras over fields. The polynomials defining a $K$-algebra $A$ as a quotient of a free $K$-algebra are combined with the polynomials defining a one-sided ideal $I$ of $A$, by using a tagging notation. Standard noncommutative Gröbner basis techniques can then be applied to the mixed set of polynomials, thus calculating $A/I$ whilst working in a free structure, …
Let R be an associative ring.In the paper we study n-generalized commutators of rings and prove that if R is a noncommutative prime ring and n > 2, then every nonzero n-generalized Lie ideal of R contains a nonzero ideal. Therefore, if R is a noncommutative simple ring, then R = [R, . . . ,R]n. This extends a classical result due to Herstein (Portugal. Math., 1954). Some generalizations and related questions on n-generalized commutators and their relationship with noncommutative polynomials are also discussed.
We present a general method for computing discriminants of noncommutative algebras. It builds a connection with Poisson geometry and expresses the discriminants as products of Poisson primes. The method is applicable to algebras obtained by specialization from families, such as quantum algebras at roots of unity. It is illustrated with the specializations of the algebras of quantum matrices at roots of unity and more generally all quantum Schubert cell algebras.
In this work, we extend the definition of the graded prime ideals from those in commutative graded rings to the ideals over graded Lie algebras. We prove some facts about graded prime Lie ideals in arbitrary Lie algebras that are similar to those about graded prime ideals over a commutative or non-commutative ring.In addition, the ideas of graded semiprime Lie ideals and graded total prime Lie ideals will be introduced.
We investigate the notions of weak annihilator and nilpotent associated prime defined by Ouyang and Birkenmeier \cite{OuyangBirkenmeier2012} in the setting of noncommutative rings having PBW bases. We extend several results formulated in the literature concerning annihilators and associated primes of commutative rings and skew polynomial rings to a more general setting of algebras not considered before. We exemplify our results with families of algebras appearing in the theory of enveloping algebras, differential operators on noncommutative spaces, noncommutative algebraic geometry, and theore…
In this article, we consider the structure of graded rings, not necessarily commutative nor with unity, and study the graded weakly prime ideals. We investigate the graded rings in which all graded ideals are graded weakly prime. Several properties are given, and several examples to support given propositions are constructed. We initiate the study of graded weakly total prime ideals and investigate graded rings for which every proper graded ideal is graded weakly total prime.
The purpose of this article is to define and examine graded almost prime ideals over a non-commutative graded ring, and consider some cases where all graded right ideals of a non-commutative graded ring are graded almost prime.
In this paper we describe three different variations of prime ideals: strongly irreducible ideals, strongly prime ideals and insulated prime ideals in the context of Leavitt path algebras. We give necessary and sufficient conditions under which a proper ideal of a Leavitt path algebra $L$ is a product as well as an intersection of finitely many of these different types of prime ideals. Such factorizations, when they are irredundant, are shown to be unique except for the order of the factors. We also characterize the Leavitt path algebras $L$ in which every ideal admits such factorizations and …
In this short note we study the links of certain prime ideals of a noetherian ring R. We first give the definition of a link krull symmetric noetherian ring R. We then prove theorem 9 that states that for any linked prime ideals P' and Q' of the polynomial ring R[X] where R is a link krull symmetric noetherian ring, if The prime ideal P' is extended then Q' is also an extended prime ideal of R[X]. An application of theorem 9 is then given in theorem 12 for the ring R[X] when R is assumed to be a fully bounded noetherian ring.
In this paper we present a procedure for computing the rational sum of the Hilbert series of a finitely generated monomial right module $N$ over the free associative algebra $K\langle x_1,\ldots,x_n \rangle$. We show that such procedure terminates, that is, the rational sum exists, when all the cyclic submodules decomposing $N$ are annihilated by monomial right ideals whose monomials define regular formal languages. The method is based on the iterative application of the colon right ideal operation to monomial ideals which are given by an eventual infinite basis. By using automata theory, we p…
Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $G$ be a finite group. We consider graded Verbally prime $T$-ideals in the free $G$-graded algebra. It turns out that equivalent definitions in the ordinary case (i.e. ungraded) extend to nonequivalent definitions in the graded case, namely verbally prime $G$-graded $T$-ideals and strongly verbally prime $T$-ideals. At first, following Kemer's ideas, we classify $G$-graded verbally prime $T$-ideals. The main bulk of the paper is devoted to the stronger notion. We classify $G$-graded strongly verbally prime $T$-ideals which…
We first show a counter intuitive result that in the ring of real valued continuous functions on $[0,1]$ non maximal prime ideals exist. This is a standard proof and a well known result. Interestingly, a non maximal prime ideal in this ring is actually contained inside a unique maximal ideal. We arrive at this result merely by looking at the zero set of ideals in this ring and by making simple geometrical observations. We end by leaving the reader with an interesting open problem that logically follows from this article.
It is known that every nonzero Jordan ideal of $2$-torsion free semiprime rings contains a nonzero ideal. In this paper we show that also any square closed Lie ideal of a $2$-torsion free prime ring contains a nonzero ideal. This can be interpreted by saying that studying identities over one sided ideals is the "optimal" case to study identities. With this fact in mind, we generalize some results of Dhara, Rehman and Raza in [Lie ideals and action of generalized derivations in rings, Miskolc Mathematical Notes, \textbf{16} (2015), 769 -- 779] to the context of nonzero left ideals.
In this paper we describe the prime ideals of some important classes of skew PBW extensions, using the classical technique of extending and contracting ideals. Skew PBW extensions include as particular examples Weyl algebras, enveloping algebras of finite-dimensional Lie algebras (and its quantization), Artamonov quantum polynomials, diffusion algebras, Manin algebra of quantum matrices, among many others.
We find particular relations which we call "Bernoulli-type" in some noncommutative polynomial ring with a single nontrivial relation. More precisely, our ring is isomorphic to the universal enveloping algebra of a two-dimensional non-abelian Lie algebra. From these Bernoulli-type relations in our ring, we can obtain a representation on a certain left ideal with the Bernoulli numbers as structure constants.
Let R = D[x;σ;δ] be an Ore extension over a commutative Dedekind domain D, where σis an automorphism on D. In the case δ= 0 Marubayashi et. al. already investigated the class of minimal prime ideals in term of their contraction on the coefficient ring D. In this note we extend this result to a general case δnot 0.
This paper investigates situations where a property of a ring can be tested on a set of "prime right ideals." Generalizing theorems of Cohen and Kaplansky, we show that every right ideal of a ring is finitely generated (resp. principal) iff every "prime right ideal" is finitely generated (resp. principal), where the phrase "prime right ideal" can be interpreted in one of many different ways. We also use our methods to show that other properties can be tested on special sets of right ideals, such as the right artinian property and various homological properties. Applying these methods, we prove…
Let $K\ < x_i\ >$ be the free associative algebra generated by a finite or countable number of variables $x_i$. The notion of "letterplace correspondence" introduced in [1,2] for the graded (two-sided) ideals of $K\ < x_i\ >$ is extended in this paper also to the nongraded case. This amounts to the possibility of modelizing nongraded noncommutative presented algebras by means of a class of graded commutative algebras that are invariant under the action of the monoid $\mathbb N$ of natural numbers. For such purpose we develop the notion of saturation for the graded ideals of $K\ < x_i,t\ >$, wh…
Let R be a commutative ring with unity $1\in R$. In this article, we introduce the concept of prime principal right ideal rings (\textbf{PPRIR}), A prime ideal P of R is said to be prime principal right ideal (\textbf{PPRI}) is given by $P =\{ ar : r\in R\}$ for some element a. The ring R is said to be prime principal right ideal ring (\textbf{PPRIR}) if every prime ideal of R is a prime principal right ideal (\textbf{PPRI}). A prime principal right ideal ring R is called a prime principal right ideal domain (\textbf{PPRID}) if R is a domain. Several properties and characteristics of prime pri…
Many classical ring-theoretic results state that an ideal that is maximal with respect to satisfying a special property must be prime. We present a "Prime Ideal Principle" that gives a uniform method of proving such facts, generalizing the Prime Ideal Principle for commutative rings due to T.Y. Lam and the author. Old and new "maximal implies prime" results are presented, with results touching on annihilator ideals, polynomial identity rings, the Artin-Rees property, Dedekind-finite rings, principal ideals generated by normal elements, strongly noetherian algebras, and just infinite algebras.
Let $\mathcal G$ be an ultragraph and let $K$ be a field. We describe prime and primitive ideals in the ultragraph Leavitt path algebra $L_K(\mathcal G)$. We identify the graded prime ideals in terms of downward directed sets and then we characterize the non-graded prime ideals. We show that the non-graded prime ideals of $L_K(\mathcal G)$ are always primitive.
In the present paper, we investigate the commutativity of quotient ring $R/P$ where $R$ is any ring and $P$ is a prime ideal of $R$ which admits generalized derivations are satisfying some algebraic identities acting on prime ideals $P$.
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. In this paper, we introduce the concept of weakly $1$-absorbing prime ideals which is a generalization of weakly prime ideals. A proper ideal $I$ of $R$ is called weakly $1$-absorbing prime if for all nonunit elements $a,b,c \in R$ such that $0\neq abc \in I$, then either $ab \in I$ or $c \in I$. A number of results concerning weakly $1$-absorbing prime ideals and examples of weakly $1$-absorbing prime ideals are given. It is proved that if $I$ is a weakly $1$-absorbing prime ideal of a ring $R$ and $0 \neq I_1I_2I_3 \subseteq I$ for some ideals $I_…

Let M be a fixed left R-module. For a left R-module X, we introduce the notion of M-prime (resp. M-semiprime) submodule of X such that in the case M=R, which coincides with prime (resp. semiprime) submodule of X. Other concepts encountered in the general theory are M-m-system sets, M-n-system sets, M-prime radical and M-Baer's lower nilradical of modules. Relationships between these concepts and basic properties are established. In particular, we identify certain submodules of M, called "prime M-ideals", that play a role analogous to that of prime (two-sided) ideals in the ring R. Using this d…
We study zero divisors and minimal prime ideals in semirings of characteristic one. Thereafter we find a counterexample to the most obvious version of primary decomposition, but are able to establish a weaker version. Lastly, we study Evans'condition in this context.
Let G be a nilpotent complete p-valued group of finite rank and let k be a field of characteristic p. We prove that every faithful prime ideal of the Iwasawa algebra kG is controlled by the centre of G, and use this to show that the prime spectrum of kG is a disjoint union of commutative strata. We also show that every prime ideal of kG is completely prime. The key ingredient in the proof is the construction of a non-commutative valuation on certain filtered simple Artinian rings.
In the set of continuous functions C(X,Y) where Y has a topology close to being discrete, there is an equivalence relation on X which characterizes the quasi-components of X. If Y satisfies weak algebraic conditions with a single binary operation then a stable set of functions forms an object generalizing an ideal of a ring. Calling such sets ideals there is a concept of a prime ideal. The ideal of functions vanishing on a quasi-component are prime ideals of C(X,Y). If Y has a zero set that is open then these prime ideals are min- max implying that when Y is a ring all of the prime ideals of C…
Given an arbitrary graph E and a field K, the prime ideals as well as the primitive ideals of the Leavitt path algebra L_K(E) are completely described in terms of their generators. The stratification of the prime spectrum of L_K(E) is indicated with information on its individual stratum. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given on the graph E under which every prime ideal of L_K(E) is primitive. Leavitt path algebras of Krull dimension zero are characterized and those with various prescribed Krull dimension are constructed. The minimal prime ideals of L_K(E) are are described in terms of …
In this paper we study commutative rings $R$ whose prime ideals are direct sums of cyclic modules. In the case $R$ is a finite direct product of commutative local rings, the structure of such rings is completely described. In particular, it is shown that for a local ring $(R, \cal{M})$, the following statements are equivalent: (1) Every prime ideal of $R$ is a direct sum of cyclic $R$-modules; (2) ${\cal{M}}=\bigoplus_{λ\in Λ}Rw_λ$ and $R/{\rm Ann}(w_λ)$ is a principal ideal ring for each $λ\in Λ$;(3) Every prime ideal of $R$ is a direct sum of at most $|Λ|$ cyclic $R$-modules; and (4) Every p…
In the first section of the present work, we introduce the concept of pseudocomplementation for semirings and show semiring version of some known results in lattice theory. We also introduce semirings with pc-functions and prove some interesting results for minimal prime ideals of such semirings. In the second section, some classical results for minimal prime ideals in ring theory are generalized in the context of semiring theory.
In a 1969 article, A. Dress described the prime ideals of the Burnside ring of a finite group G and the inclusion relations between them. One may ask whether similar results exist for the Burnside ring of a saturated fusion system F on a finite p-group S. The present paper answers positively, providing a typology for the prime ideals of A(F) and for those of A(F) (p) as a consequence.
A complete determination of the prime ideals invariant under winding automorphisms in the generic 3 by 3 quantum matrix algebra is obtained. Explicit generating sets consisting of quantum minors are given for all of these primes, thus verifying a general conjecture in the 3 by 3 case. The result relies heavily on certain tensor product decompositions for winding-invariant prime ideals, developed in an accompanying paper. In addition, new methods are developed here, which show that certain sets of quantum minors, not previously manageable, generate prime ideals in the n by n quantum matrix alge…
Let $G$ be a nilpotent-by-finite compact $p$-adic analytic group for some $p>2$, and $H = \mathbf{FN}_p(G)$ its finite-by-(nilpotent $p$-valuable) radical. Fix a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$, and write $kG$ for the completed group ring of $G$ over $k$. We show that almost faithful $G$-stable prime ideals $P$ of $kH$ extend to prime ideals $PkG$ of $kG$.
We develop a general noncommutative version of Balmer's tensor triangular geometry that is applicable to arbitrary monoidal triangulated categories (M$Δ$Cs). Insight from noncommutative ring theory is used to obtain a framework for prime, semiprime, and completely prime (thick) ideals of an M$Δ$C, ${\bf K}$, and then to associate to ${\bf K}$ a topological space--the Balmer spectrum $\operatorname{Spc} {\bf K}$. We develop a general framework for (noncommutative) support data, coming in three different flavors, and show that $\operatorname{Spc} {\bf K}$ is a universal terminal object for the f…
Let $\mathcal{Z(R)}$ be the set of zero divisor elements of a commutative ring $R$ with identity and $\mathcal{M}$ be the space of minimal prime ideals of $R$ with Zariski topology. An ideal $I$ of $R$ is called strongly dense ideal or briefly $sd$-ideal if $I\subseteq \mathcal{Z(R)}$ and is contained in no minimal prime ideal. We denote by $R_{K}(\mathcal{M})$, the set of all $a\in R$ for which $\bar{D(a)}=\bar{\mathcal{M}\setminus V(a)}$ is compact. We show that $R$ has property $(A)$ and $\mathcal{M}$ is compact \ifif $R$ has no $sd$-ideal. It is proved that $R_{K}(\mathcal{M})$ is an essen…
Let $R$ be an infinite Dedekind domain with at most finitely many units, and let $K$ denote its field of fractions. We prove the following statement. If $L/K$ is a finite Galois extension of fields and $\mathcal{O}$ is the integral closure of $R$ in $L$, then $\mathcal{O}$ contains infinitely many prime ideals. In particular, if $\mathcal{O}$ is further a unique factorization domain, then $\mathcal{O}$ contains infinitely many non-associate prime elements.
We describe a general framework for prime, completely prime, semiprime, and primitive ideals of an abelian 2-category. This provides a noncommutative version of Balmer's prime spectrum of a tensor triangulated category. These notions are based on containment conditions in terms of thick subcategories of an abelian category and thick ideals of an abelian 2-category. We prove categorical analogs of the main properties of noncommutative prime spectra. Similar notions, starting with Serre subcategories of an abelian category and Serre ideals of an abelian 2-category, are developed. They are linked…
Let R be a commutative ring. If P is a maximal ideal of R whose a power is finitely generated then we prove that P is finitely generated if R is either locally coherent or arithmetical or a polynomial ring over a ring of global dimension $\le$ 2. And if P is a prime ideal of R whose a power is finitely generated then we show that P is finitely generated if R is either a reduced coherent ring or a polynomial ring over a reduced arithmetical ring. These results extend a theorem of Roitman, published in 2001, on prime ideals of coherent integral domains.
