We show  that a projective maximal submodule of afinitely generated, regular, extending module is a directsummand. Hence, every finitely generated, regular, extendingmodule with projective maximal submodules is semisimple. As aconsequence, we observe that every regular, hereditary, extendingmodule is semisimple. This generalizes and simplifies a result of  Dung and   Smith. As another consequen...

Let k be a field, and let M be a commutative, seminormal, finitely generated monoid, which is torsionfree, cancellative, and has no nontrivial units. J. Gubeladze proved that finitely generated projective modules over kM are free. This paper contains an algorithm for finding a free basis for a finitely generated projective module over kM . As applications one obtains alternative algorithms for ...

We determine which rings of the form Z[α] are generated by there units, where α is a root of the polynomial X4 −BX2 +D such that α and all its conjugates are complex.

Let R be an associative ring with identity, C(R) denote the center of R, and g(x) be a polynomial in the polynomial ring C(R)[x]. R is called strongly g(x)-clean if every element r ∈ R can be written as r = s+u with g(s) = 0, u a unit of R, and su = us. The relation between strongly g(x)-clean rings and strongly clean rings is determined, some general properties of strongly g(x)-clean rings are...
