There is a close relation between comprehensive Gröbner bases and non-parametric Gröbner bases over commutative von Neumann regular rings. By this relation, Gröbner bases over a commutative von Neumann regular ring can be viewed as an alternative to comprehensive Gröbner bases. (Therefore, this Gröbner basis is called an “alternative comprehensive Gröbner basis (ACGB)”.) In the first part of th...

All rings R considered are commutative and have an identity element. Contessa called R a VNL-ring if a or 1 a has a Von Neumann inverse whenever a 2 R. Sample results: Every prime ideal of a VNL-ring is contained in a unique maximal ideal. Local and Von Neumann regular rings are VNL and if the product of two rings is VNL, then both are Von Neumann regular, or one is Von Neumann regular and the ...

We use the concept of a regular object with respect to another object in an arbitrary category, defined in [3], in order to obtain the transfer of regularity in the sense of Zelmanowitz between the categories R−mod and S−mod, when S is an excellent extension of the ring R. Consequently, we obtain a result of [5]: if S is an excellent extension of the ring R, then S is von Neumann regular ring i...
