We give an algorithmic method for computing a presentation of any finitely generated submonoid of a finitely generated commutative monoid. We use this method also for calculating the intersection of two congruences on Np and for deciding whether or not a given finitely generated commutative monoid is t-torsion free and/or separative. The last section is devoted to the resolution of some simple ...

Recall that a rng is a ring which is possibly non-unital. In this note, we address the problem whether every finitely generated idempotent rng (abbreviated as irng) is singly generated as an ideal. It is well-known that it is the case for a commutative irng. We prove here it is also the case for a free rng on finitely many idempotents and for a finite irng. A relation to the Wiegold problem for...

Let L be a free Lie algebra over a field k, I a non-trivial proper ideal of L, n > 1 an integer. The multiplicator H2(L/I , k) of L/I is not finitely generated, and so in particular, L/I is not finitely presented, even when L/I is finite dimensional.

Let Q be an affine semigroup generating Z, and fix a finitely generated Z -graded module M over the semigroup algebra k[Q] for a field k. We provide an algorithm to compute a minimal Z-graded injective resolution of M up to any desired cohomological degree. As an application, we derive an algorithm computing the local cohomology modulesH I(M) supported on any monomial (that is, Z -graded) ideal...
