Applications of Jones Index to Rings with Artinian Quotient Rings

Artinian Band Sums of Rings

Band sums of associative rings were introduced by Weissglass in 1973. The main theorem claims that the support of every Artinian band sum of rings is finite. This result is analogous to the well-known theorem on Artinian semigroup rings. 1991 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc): primary 16P20, 16W50; secondary 20M25. Let B be a band, that is, a semigroup consisting of idempoten...

Bounds in Polynomial Rings over Artinian Local Rings

Let R be a (mixed characteristic) Artinian local ring of length l and let X be an n-tuple of variables. This paper provides bounds over the ring R[X] on the degrees of the output of several algebraic constructions in terms of l, n and the degrees of the input. For instance, if I is an ideal in R[X] generated by polynomials gi of degree at most d and if f is a polynomial of degree at most d belo...

Ladder Functors with an Application to Representation-finite Artinian Rings

Ladders were introduced by Igusa and Todorov for the investigation of representation-finite artinian algebras and algebras over an algebraically closed field [7]. They prove a radical layers theorem [7] which exhibits the graded structure of Auslander-Reiten sequences. In a second article [8] they obtain a characterization of the Auslander-Reiten quivers of representation-finite artinian algebr...

Left localizations of left Artinian rings

For an arbitrary left Artinian ring R, explicit descriptions are given of all the left denominator sets S of R and left localizations SR of R. It is proved that, up to R-isomorphism, there are only finitely many left localizations and each of them is an idempotent localization, i.e. SR ≃ S e R and ass(S) = ass(Se) where Se = {1, e} is a left denominator set of R and e is an idempotent. Moreover...
