On the basis of the Klingler–Levy classification of finitely generated modules over commutative noetherian rings we approach the old problem of classifying finite commutative rings R with decidable theory of modules. We prove that if R is (finite length) wild, then the theory of all R-modules is undecidable, and verify decidability of this theory for some classes of tame finite commutative rings.

This paper studies the vanishing of $Ext$ modules over group rings. Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $ga$ a group. We provide a criterion under which the vanishing of self extensions of a finitely generated $Rga$-module $M$ forces it to be projective. Using this result, it is shown that $Rga$ satisfies the Auslander-Reiten conjecture, whenever $R$ has finite global dimension and $ga...

We show a method to effectively compute the Wedderburn decomposition and the primitive central idempotents of a semisimple finite group algebra of an abelian-by-supersolvable group G from certain pairs of subgroups of G. In this paper F = Fq denotes a finite field with q elements and G is a finite group of order n such that FG is semisimple, or equivalently (q, n) = 1. The group algebra FG is a...

in this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to z/p) closed g-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is g-equivariantly formal, where g = z/p and p is an odd prime. using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a g-manifold in terms of algebra. this makes it p...

Linear codes over finite rings with identity have recently raised a great interest for their new role in algebraic coding theory and for their successful application in combined coding and modulation. Thus, in this paper we address the problems of constructing of new cyclic, BCH, alternant, Goppa and Srivastava codes over local finite commutative rings with identity. These constructions are ver...
