in this article we introduce the concept of $z^circ$-filter on a topological space $x$. we study and investigate the behavior of $z^circ$-filters and compare them  with corresponding ideals, namely, $z^circ$-ideals of $c(x)$,  the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a completely regular hausdorff space $x$. it is observed that $x$ is a compact space if and only if every $z^circ$-filter ...

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $m$ be an $r$-module. a proper submodule $p$ of $m$ is called strongly prime submodule if $(p + rx : m)ysubseteq p$ for $x, yin m$, implies that $xin p$ or $yin p$. in this paper, we study more properties of strongly prime submodules. it is shown that a finitely generated $r$-module $m$ is artinian if and only if $m$ is noetherian and every st...
