Ring Epimorphisms and C(x)
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper studies the homomorphism of rings of continuous functions ρ:C(X) → C(Y ), Y a subspace of a Tychonoff space X, induced by restriction. We ask when ρ is an epimorphism in the categorical sense. There are several appropriate categories: we look at CR, all commutative rings, and R/N, all reduced commutative rings. When X is first countable and perfectly normal (e.g., a metric space), ρ is a CRepimorphism if and only if it is a R/N-epimorphism if and only if Y is locally closed in X. It is also shown that the restriction of ρ to C∗(X) → C∗(Y ), when X is normal, is a CR-epimorphism if and only if it is a surjection. In general spaces the picture is more complicated, as is shown by various examples. Information about Spec ρ and Spec ρ restricted to the proconstructible set of prime zideals is given.

Center--like subsets in rings with derivations or epimorphisms
We introduce center-like subsets Z*(R,f), Z**(R,f) and Z1(R,f), where R is a ring and f is a map from R to R. For f a derivation or a non-identity epimorphism and R a suitably-chosen prime or semiprime ring, we prove that these sets coincide with the center of R.
متن کاملCompactifications, C(x) and Ring Epimorphisms
Given a topological space X, K(X) denotes the upper semi-lattice of its (Hausdorff) compactifications. Recent studies have asked when, for αX ∈ K(X), the restriction homomorphism ρ : C(αX) → C(X) is an epimorphism in the category of commutative rings. This article continues this study by examining the sub-semilattice, Kepi(X), of those compactifications where ρ is an epimorphism along with two ...
متن کاملOn a class of pseudocompact spaces derived from ring epimorphisms
A Tychonoff space X is called RG if the embedding of C(X) → C(Xδ) is an epimorphism of rings. Compact RG spaces are known and easily described. We study the pseudocompact RG spaces. These must be scattered of finite Cantor Bendixon degree but need not be locally compact. However, under strong hypotheses, (countable compactness, or small cardinality) these spaces must, indeed, be compact. The ma...
متن کاملWEAKLY g(x)-CLEAN RINGS
A ring $R$ with identity is called ``clean'' if $~$for every element $ain R$, there exist an idempotent $e$ and a unit $u$ in $R$ such that $a=u+e$. Let $C(R)$ denote the center of a ring $R$ and $g(x)$ be a polynomial in $C(R)[x]$. An element $rin R$ is called ``g(x)-clean'' if $r=u+s$ where $g(s)=0$ and $u$ is a unit of $R$ and, $R$ is $g(x)$-clean if every element is $g(x)$-clean. In this pa...
متن کاملCotilting Modules and Homological Ring Epimorphisms
We show that every injective homological ring epimorphism f : R → S where SR has flat dimension at most one gives rise to a 1cotilting R-module and we give sufficient conditions under which the converse holds true. Specializing to the case of a valuation domain R, we illustrate a bijective correspondence between equivalence classes of injective homological ring epimorphisms originating in R and...
