Clean Unital -groups

چکیده
A ring with identity is said to be clean if every element can be written as a sum of a unit and an idempotent. The study of clean rings has been at the forefront of ring theory over the past decade. The theory of partially-ordered groups has a nice and long history and since there are several ways of relating a ring to a (unital) partially-ordered group it became apparent that there ought to be a notion of a clean partially-ordered group. In this article we define a clean unital lattice-ordered group; we state and prove a theorem which characterizes clean unital -groups. We mention the relationship of clean unital -groups to algebraic K-theory. In the last section of the article we generalize the notion of clean to the non-unital context and investigate this concept within the framework of W-objects, that is, archimedean -groups with distinguished weak order unit. c ©2013 Mathematical Institute Slovak Academy of Sciences

(Compression Bases in Unital Groups
We introduce and launch a study of compression bases in unital groups. The family of all compressions on a compressible group and the family of all direct compressions on a unital group are examples of compression bases. In this article we show that the properties of the compatibility relation in a compressible group generalize to unital groups with compression bases. AMS Classification: Primar...
متن کاملClassification of Finitely Generated Lattice-ordered Abelian Groups with Order-unit
A unital l-group (G,u) is an abelian group G equipped with a translation-invariant lattice-order and a distinguished element u, called orderunit, whose positive integer multiples eventually dominate each element of G. We classify finitely generated unital l-groups by sequences W = (W0,W1, . . .) of weighted abstract simplicial complexes, where Wt+1 is obtained from Wt either by the classical Al...
متن کاملAn Algebraic Property of an Isometry between the Groups of Invertible Elements in Banach Algebras
We show that if T is an isometry (as metric spaces) between the invertible groups of unital Banach algebras, then T is extended to a surjective real-linear isometry up to translation between the two Banach algebras. Furthermore if the underling algebras are closed unital standard operator algebras, (T (eA)) −1 T is extended to a surjective real algebra isomorphism; if T is a surjective isometry...
متن کاملCollineation Groups Preserving a Unital in a Projective Plane of Order
A unital embedded in a finite projective plane Π of order m# is a substructure of Π which forms a 2®(m$1,m1, 1) design. Several authors devoted their attention to the embedded unitals. The main aim is either to construct and investigate new classes of unitals, or to characterize some classes using group-theoretical or graphical properties [3, 6, 9, 18, 25]. In [3] we give some general results...
متن کاملOn Clean Ideals
We introduce the notion of clean ideal, which is a natural generalization of clean rings. It is shown that every matrix ideal over a clean ideal of a ring is clean. Also we prove that every ideal having stable range one of a regular ring is clean. These generalize the corresponding results for clean rings. 1. Introduction. Let R be a unital ring. We say that R is a clean ring in case every elem...
