In this paper, the structure of the ideals in the ring of Colombeau generalized numbers is investigated. Connections with the theories of exchange rings, Gelfand rings and lattice-ordered rings are given. Characterizations for prime, projective, pure and topologically closed ideals are given, answering in particular the questions about prime ideals in [1]. Also z-ideals in the sense of [21] are...

For any ordered set P, the join dense completions of P form a complete lattice K(P) with least element O(P), the lattice of order ideals of P, and greatest element M(P), the Dedekind-MacNeille completion of P. The lattice K(P) is isomorphic to an ideal of the lattice of all closure operators on the lattice O(P). Thus it inherits some local structural properties which hold in the lattice of clos...

We give a variant of the homogeneous Buchberger algorithm for positively graded lattice ideals. Using this algorithm we solve the Sullivant computational commutative algebra challenge1 .

1. Let F be a partially ordered vector space with an order unit e. It is well known that the class 5DÎ of maximal ideals of V is in one-one correspondence with the class K of normalized positive linear functionals, in the sense that to each ME^SR corresponds a positive linear functional <¡>m with M as its null-space and with M(e) = 1. A maximal ideal MG 90? is said to be extreme if <pM is an...

Alexander duality has, in the past, made its way into commutative algebra through Stanley-Reisner rings of simplicial complexes. This has the disadvantage that one is limited to squarefree monomial ideals. The notion of Alexander duality is generalized here to arbitrary monomial ideals. It is shown how this duality is naturally expressed by Bass numbers, in their relations to the Betti numbers ...

in this paper, we construct two fuzzy sets using the notions of level subsets and strong level subsets of a given fuzzy set in a ring r. these fuzzy sets turn out to be identical and provide a universal construction of a fuzzy ideal generated by a given fuzzy set in a ring. using this construction and employing the technique of strong level subsets, we provide the shortest and direct fuzzy set ...

In the theory of monomial ideals of a polynomial ring S over a field k, it is convenient that for each such ideal I there is a standard free resolution, so called Taylor resolution, that can be canonically constructed from the minimal system of monomial generators of I (see [7], p.439 and section 2). On the other hand no construction of a minimal resolution for an arbitrary monomial ideal has b...

We construct a canonical free resolution for arbitrary monomial modules and lattice ideals. This includes monomial ideals and defining ideals of toric varieties, and it generalizes our joint results with Irena Peeva for generic ideals [BPS],[PS]. Introduction Given a field k, we consider the Laurent polynomial ring T = k[x 1 , . . . , x ±1 n ] as a module over the polynomial ring S = k[x1, . . ...

The notion of a weakly associative lattice group is a generalization of that of a lattice ordered group in which the identities of associativity of the lattice operations join and meet are replaced by the identities of weak associativity. In the paper, the spectral topologies on the sets of straightening ideals (and on some of their subsets) of abelian weakly associative lattice groups are intr...

Varieties like groups, rings, or Boolean algebras have the property that, in any of their members, the lattice of congruences is isomorphic to a lattice of more manageable objects: e.g. normal subgroups of groups, two-sided ideals of rings, …lters (or ideals) of Boolean algebras. Abstract algebraic logic can explain these phenomena at a rather satisfactory level of generality: in every member A...
