Semisimple Strongly Graded Rings

Let G be a finite group and R a strongly G-graded ring. The question of when R is semisimple (meaning in this paper semisimple artinian) has been studied by several authors. The most classical result is Maschke’s Theorem for group rings. For crossed products over fields there is a satisfactory answer given by Aljadeff and Robinson [3]. Another partial answer for skew group rings was given by Al...

Graded Rings and Modules

1 Definitions Definition 1. A graded ring is a ring S together with a set of subgroups Sd, d ≥ 0 such that S = ⊕ d≥0 Sd as an abelian group, and st ∈ Sd+e for all s ∈ Sd, t ∈ Se. One can prove that 1 ∈ S0 and if S is a domain then any unit of S also belongs to S0. A homogenous ideal of S is an ideal a with the property that for any f ∈ a we also have fd ∈ a for all d ≥ 0. A morphism of graded r...

Tight Closure in Graded Rings

This paper facilitates the computation of tight closure by giving giving upper and lower bounds on the degrees of elements that need to be checked for inclusion in the tight closure of certain homogeneous ideals in a graded ring. Differential operators are introduced to the study of tight closure, and used to prove that the degree of any element in the tight closure of a homogeneous ideal (but ...

Approximate Roots in Graded Rings

An approximate root of an univariate polynomial over a graded ring A is an element in A for which the evaluated polynomial vanishes up to a prescribed order. We give an algorithm for deciding existence of approximate roots and computing essentially all of them. Based on this algorithm we also suggest a finite representation for multivariate algebraic power series.
