Robert Lee Wilson Department of Mathematics Rutgers University The determinant of a matrix with entries in a commutative ring is a main organizing tool in commutative algebra. In these lectures, we present an analogous theory, the theory of quasideterminants, for matrices with entries in a not necessarily commutative ring. The theory of quasideterminants was originated by I. Gelfand and V. Retakh.

In [2] the notion of “uniformly ideal” was introduced and developed the basic theory. In this article we introduce and advance a theory which, in a sense, dual to that i.e, the notion of “uniformly secondary module”.

A commutative ring A is said to be clean if every element of A can be written as a sum of a unit and an idempotent. This definition dates back to 1977 where it was introduced by W. K. Nicholson [7]. In 2002, V. P. Camillo and D. D. Anderson [1] investigated commutative clean rings and obtained several important results. In [4] Han and Nicholson show that if A is a semiperfect ring, then A[Z2] i...

in this paper we focus on a special class of commutative local‎ ‎rings called spap-rings and study the relationship between this‎ ‎class and other classes of rings‎. ‎we characterize the structure of‎ ‎modules and especially‎, ‎the prime submodules of free modules over‎ ‎an spap-ring and derive some basic properties‎. ‎then we answer the‎ ‎question of lam and reyes about strongly oka ideals fam...

‎‎Let $R$ be a non-commutative ring with unity‎. ‎The commuting graph‎ of $R$ denoted by $Gamma(R)$‎, ‎is a graph with a vertex set‎ ‎$Rsetminus Z(R)$ and two vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if‎ $ab=ba$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate non-commutative rings with unity of order $p^n$ where $p$ is prime and $n in lbrace 4,5 rbrace$‎. It is shown that‎, ‎$Gamma(R)$ is the disjoint ...

Let $R$ be a ring and $M$ a right $R$-module. We call $M$, coretractable relative to $overline{Z}(M)$ (for short, $overline{Z}(M)$-coretractable) provided that, for every proper submodule $N$ of $M$ containing $overline{Z}(M)$, there is a nonzero homomorphism $f:dfrac{M}{N}rightarrow M$. We investigate some conditions under which the two concepts coretractable and $overline{Z}(M)$-coretractable...

First order conditions are given which are necessary for a commutative regular ring to have a prime integrally closed extension. If the ring is countable these conditions are also sufficient. In [8] an example was given of a commutative regular ring with no prime model extension to a commutative integrally closed regular ring. In this paper we give (in §2) first order conditions which are neces...

Recall that a commutative ring R is said to be a pseudo-valuation ring if every prime ideal of R is strongly prime. We define a completely pseudovaluation ring. Let R be a ring (not necessarily commutative). We say that R is a completely pseudo-valuation ring if every prime ideal of R is completely prime. With this we prove that if R is a commutative Noetherian ring, which is also an algebra ov...
