Matrix subrings having finite global dimension

On Monomial Algebras of Finite Global Dimension

Let G be an associative monomial k-algebra. If G is assumed to be finitely presented, then either G contains a free subalgebra on two monomials or else G has polynomial growth. If instead G is assumed to have finite global dimension, then either G contains a free subalgebra or else G has a finite presentation and polynomial growth. Also, a graded Hopf algebra with generators in degree one and r...

Rings with Finite Gorenstein Global Dimension

We find new classes of non noetherian rings which have the same homological behavior that Gorenstein rings.

Semisimplicity and Global Dimension of a Finite von Neumann Algebra

We prove that a finite von Neumann algebra A is semisimple if the algebra of affiliated operators U of A is semisimple. When A is not semisimple, we give the upper and lower bounds for the global dimensions of A and U . This last result requires the use of the Continuum Hypothesis.

On Zero Subrings and Periodic Subrings

We give new proofs of two theorems on rings in which every zero subring is finite; and we apply these theorems to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an infinite ring with periodic additive group to have an infinite periodic subring. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 16N40, 16N60, 16P99. Let R be a ring and N its set of nilpotent elements; and call R reduced if N = {0}. Follo...
