On QF rings and artinian principal ideal rings

Artinian and Noetherian Rings

Morphic and Principal-ideal Group Rings

We observe that the class of left and right artinian left and right morphic rings agrees with the class of artinian principal ideal rings. For R an artinian principal ideal ring and G a group, we characterize when RG is a principal ideal ring; for finite groups G, this characterizes when RG is a left and right morphic ring. This extends work of Passman, Sehgal and Fisher in the case when R is a...

Artinian Band Sums of Rings

Band sums of associative rings were introduced by Weissglass in 1973. The main theorem claims that the support of every Artinian band sum of rings is finite. This result is analogous to the well-known theorem on Artinian semigroup rings. 1991 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc): primary 16P20, 16W50; secondary 20M25. Let B be a band, that is, a semigroup consisting of idempoten...

MDS codes over finite principal ideal rings

The purpose of this paper is to study codes over finite principal ideal rings. To do this, we begin with codes over finite chain rings as a natural generalization of codes over Galois rings GR(pe, l) (including Zpe). We give sufficient conditions on the existence of MDS codes over finite chain rings and on the existence of self-dual codes over finite chain rings. We also construct MDS self-dual...

Constacyclic Codes over Finite Principal Ideal Rings

In this paper, we give an important isomorphism between contacyclic codes and cyclic codes,over finite principal ideal rings.Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of non-trivial cyclic self-dual codes over finite principal ideal rings are given.
