In this study we find height bounds for polynomial rings over integral domains. We apply nonstandard methods and hence our constants will be ineffective. Furthermore we consider unique factorization domains and possible bounds for valuation rings and arithmetical functions.

CARL FAITH All rings considered are commutative with unit. A ring R is SISI (in Vámos' terminology) if every subdirectly irreducible factor ring R/I is self-injective . SISI rings include Noetherian rings, Morita rings, and almost maximal valuation rings ([Vil) . In [F3] we raised the question of whether a polynomial ring R[-1 over a SISI ring R is again SISI . In this paper we show this is not...

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 and δ a σderivation of R. We recall that a prime ideal P of R is δ-divided if it is comparable (under inclusion) to every σ-invariant and δ-invariant ideal I (i.e. σ(I) ⊆ I and δ(I) ⊆ I) of R. A ring R is called a δ-divided ring...

In this paper, persents the definitions of strongly prime ideal, strongly prime N-subgroup, Pseudo-valuation near ring and Pseudo-valuation N-group. Some of their properties have also been proven by theorems. Then it is shown that, if N be near ring with quotient near-field K and P be a strongly prime ideal of near ring N, then is a strongly prime ideal of ‎‎, for any multiplication subset S of...

Ayache has recently proved that if R is an integrally closed domain such that each overring of R is treed, then R is a locally pseudo-valuation domain. We investigate the extent to which the analogue (in which one concludes that R is a locally pseudo-valuation ring) holds if R is generalized to a commutative ring. A positive result is obtained if R is an idealization D(+)K where D is an integra...

We study the model theory of fields k carrying a henselian valuation with real closed residue field. We give a criteria for elementary equivalence and elementary inclusion of such fields involving the value group of a not necessarily definable valuation. This allows us to translate theories of such fields to theories of ordered abelian groups, and we study the properties of this translation. We...
