We study prime and primitive ideals in a uniied setting applicable to quanti-zations (at nonroots of unity) of n n matrices, of Weyl algebras, and of Euclidean and symplectic spaces. The framework for this analysis is based upon certain iterated skew polynomial algebras A over innnite elds k of arbitrary characteristic. Our main result is the veriication, for A, of a characterization of primiti...

Let X be a topological space and R be a subring of RX. By determining some special topologies on X associated with the subring R, characterizations of maximal fixxed and maximal growing ideals in R of the form Mx(R) are given. Moreover, the classes of zR-ideals and z0R-ideals are introduced in R which are topological generalizations of z-ideals and z0-ideals of C(X), respectively. Various c...

Alexander duality is made into a functor which extends the notion for monomial ideals to any finitely generated N-graded module. The functors associated with Alexander duality provide a duality on the level of free and injective resolutions, and numerous Bass and Betti number relations result as corollaries. A minimal injective resolution of a module M is equivalent to the injective resolution ...

This paper continues our study, begun in [MS], of the relationship between the prime ideals of an algebra A and of a subalgebra R such that R ⊂A is a faithfully flat H -Galois extension, for some finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H . In that paper we defined three basic Krull relations, Incomparability (INC), t-Lying Over (t-LO), and Going Up (GU), analogous to the classical Krull relations for p...

Let $S$ be an ordered semigroup. A fuzzy subset of $S$ is anarbitrary mapping   from $S$ into $[0,1]$, where $[0,1]$ is theusual interval of real numbers. In this paper,  the concept of fuzzygeneralized bi-ideals of an ordered semigroup $S$ is introduced.Regular ordered semigroups are characterized by means of fuzzy leftideals, fuzzy right ideals and fuzzy (generalized) bi-ideals.Finally, two m...

We show that if the duality between a Banach space A and its anti-dual A* is given by the inner product of a Hilbert space H, then (A, A*)1/2,2 = H = (A,A*)[l,2~, provided A satisfies certain mild conditions. We do not assume A is reflexive. Applications are given to normed ideals of operators.

We show that monomial ideals generated in degree two satisfy a conjecture by Eisenbud, Green and Harris. In particular we give a partial answer to a conjecture of Kalai by proving that h-vectors of flag Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complexes are h-vectors of Cohen-Macaulay balanced simplicial complexes.

This paper finds its motivation in the pursuit of ideals whose local cohomology modules have maximal Hilbert functions. In [8], [9] we proved that the lexicographic (resp. squarefree lexicographic) ideal of a family of graded (resp. squarefree) ideals with assigned Hilbert function provides sharp upper bounds for the local cohomology modules of any of the ideals of the family. Moreover these bo...
