In this paper, we construct two fuzzy sets using the notions of level subsets and strong level subsets of a given fuzzy set in a ring R. These fuzzy sets turn out to be identical and provide a universal construction of a fuzzy ideal generated by a given fuzzy set in a ring. Using this construction and employing the technique of strong level subsets, we provide the shortest and direct fuzzy set ...

This paper deals with some results concerning the notion of extended ideal based zero divisor graph $overline Gamma_I(R)$ for an ideal $I$ of a commutative ring $R$ and characterize its bipartite graph. Also, we study the properties of an annihilator of $overline Gamma_I(R)$.

The Generalized Principal Ideal Theorem is one of the cornerstones of dimension theory for Noetherian rings. For an R-module M, we identify certain submodules of M that play a role analogous to that of prime ideals in the ring R. Using this definition, we extend the Generalized Principal Ideal Theorem to modules.

We show that the lattice of all ideals of a ring $R$ can be embedded in the lattice of all its fuzzyideals in uncountably many ways. For this purpose, we introduce the concept of the generalizedcharacteristic function $chi _{s}^{r} (A)$ of a subset $A$ of a ring $R$ forfixed $r , sin [0,1] $ and show that $A$ is an ideal of $R$ if, and only if, its generalizedcharacteristic function $chi _{s}^{...

We study exterior powers of classes of symmetric bilinear forms in the WittGrothendieck ring of a field of characteristic not equal to 2, and derive their basic properties. The exterior powers are used to obtain annihilating polynomials for quadratic forms in the Witt ring. 1991 AMS Subject Classification: 11E04, 11E81

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $M$ be a unitary $R$-module. An $R$-module $M$ is called a multiplication module if for every submodule $N$ of $M$ there exists an ideal $I$ of $R$ such that $N = IM$. It is shown that over a Noetherian domain $R$ with dim$(R)leq 1$, multiplication modules are precisely cyclic or isomorphic to an invertible ideal of $R$. Moreover, we give a charac...

This is a short survey of the main known results concerning annihilating polynomials for the Witt ring of quadratic forms over a field. 1991 A.M.S. Subject Classification : 11E81, 12F10, 19A22

in this work, we investigate the transfer of some homological properties from a ring $r$ to its amalgamated duplication along some ideal $i$ of $r$ $rbowtie i$, and then generate new and original families of rings with these properties.
