Approximating discrete valuation rings by regular local rings

Pseudo-almost valuation rings

The aim of this paper is to generalize the‎‎notion of pseudo-almost valuation domains to arbitrary‎ ‎commutative rings‎. ‎It is shown that the classes of chained rings‎ ‎and pseudo-valuation rings are properly contained in the class of‎ ‎pseudo-almost valuation rings; also the class of pseudo-almost‎ ‎valuation rings is properly contained in the class of quasi-local‎ ‎rings with linearly ordere...

Almost valuation rings

The aim of this paper is to generalize the‎ ‎notion of almost valuation domains to arbitrary commutative‎ ‎rings‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we consider relations between almost valuation rings ‎and pseudo-almost valuation rings‎. ‎We prove that the class of‎ ‎almost valuation rings is properly contained in the class of‎ ‎pseudo-almost valuation rings‎. ‎Among the properties of almost‎ ‎valuation rings‎, ‎we sh...

Gersten’s conjecture for commutative discrete valuation rings

The purpose of this article is to prove that Gersten’s conjecture for a commutative discrete valuation ring is true. Combining with the result of [GL87], we learn that Gersten’s conjecture is true if the ring is a commutative regular local, smooth over a commutative discrete valuation ring.

Commuting $pi$-regular rings

R is called commuting regular ring (resp. semigroup) if for each x,y $in$ R there exists a $in$ R such that xy = yxayx. In this paper, we introduce the concept of commuting $pi$-regular rings (resp. semigroups) and study various properties of them.
