ON NONCOMMUTATIVE VNL-RINGS AND GVNL-RINGS

Orderings for Noncommutative Rings

Introduction and Notation. The goal of this paper is to present the beginnings of a theory of real algebraic geometry for noncommutative rings. For a basic introduction to the commutative theory, see Lam [L]. The word field will be used in this paper to mean a (generally noncommutative) skewfield; we shall specify a commutative field when we need to. R will denote a noncommutative ring with 1. ...

The Quest for Quotient Rings (Of Noncommutative Noetherian Rings)

Articles on the history of mathematics can be written from many different perspectives. Some aim to survey a more or less wide landscape, and require the observer to watch from afar as theories develop and movements are born or become obsolete. At the other extreme, there are those that try to shed light on the history of particular theorems and on the people who created them. This article belo...

Noncommutative Extensions of Hilbert Rings

Noncommutative rings and characteristic classes of foliations

The notion of a characteristic fibration is introduced. This fibration consists of a base space M and a set of fibres which are dimension groups associated to a noncommutative ring R. Every dimension group of the fibration is isomorphic to the first Betti group of M with a ‘positive cone’ depending continuously on the fibre. The characteristic fibrations are linked to the codimension–1 regular ...

On n-coherent rings, n-hereditary rings and n-regular rings

We observe some new characterizations of $n$-presented modules. Using the concepts of $(n,0)$-injectivity and $(n,0)$-flatness of modules, we also present some characterizations of right $n$-coherent rings, right $n$-hereditary rings, and right $n$-regular rings.
