We investigate Hermitian forms on finitely generated torsion modules over a noncommutative discrete valuation ring. We also give some results for lattices, which still are satisfied even if the base ring is not commutative. Moreover, for a noncommutative discrete-valued division algebra D with valuation ring R and residual division algebra D̄, we prove that W(D̄) ∼=WT(R), where WT(R) denotes the ...

Normal toric varieties over a field or a discrete valuation ring are classified by rational polyhedral fans. We generalize this classification to normal toric varieties over an arbitrary valuation ring of rank one. The proof is based on a generalization of Sumihiro’s theorem to this non-noetherian setting. These toric varieties play an important role for tropicalizations. 2010 Mathematics Subje...

Let R be a commutative ring. An R-module M is called co-multiplication provided that foreach submodule N of M there exists an ideal I of R such that N = (0 : I). In this paper weshow that co-multiplication modules are a generalization of strongly duo modules. Uniserialmodules of finite length and hence valuation Artinian rings are some distinguished classes ofco-multiplication rings. In additio...

This expository paper contains history, definitions, constructions, and the basic properties of Rees valuations of ideals. A section is devoted to one-fibered ideals, that is, ideals with only one Rees valuation. Cutkosky [5] proved that there exists a two-dimensional complete Noetherian local integrally closed domain in which no zero-dimensional ideal is one-fibered. However, no concrete ring ...

There exists an analogy between the structure of ideals of a cone in a right-ordered group and the structure of ideals of a Dubrovin valuation ring in a simple artinian ring. The structure of ideals of rank one cones and rank one Dubrovin valuation rings can be described completely. One sided versions of this problem are considered in 5] where the ideal theory of right cones is developed and a ...

Let R be a pseudo-valuation domain with associated valuation domain V and I a nonzero proper ideal of R. Let R̂ (resp., V̂ ) be the I-adic (resp., IV -adic) completion of R (resp., V ). We show that R̂ is a pseudo-valuation domain (which may be a field); and that if I 6= I2, then V̂ is the associated valuation domain of R̂. Let R be an SFT globalized pseudo-valuation domain with associated Prüfer do...

We recall that a ring R is called near pseudo-valuation ring if every minimal prime ideal is a strongly prime ideal. Let R be a commutative ring, σ an automorphism of R. Recall that a prime ideal P of R is σ-divided if it is comparable (under inclusion) to every σ-stable ideal I of R. A ring R is called a σ-divided ring if every prime ideal of R is σ-divided. Also a ring R is almost σ-divided r...
