[ 1 ] - On $z$-ideals of pointfree function rings
Let $L$ be a completely regular frame and $mathcal{R}L$ be the ring of continuous real-valued functions on $L$. We show that the lattice $Zid(mathcal{R}L)$ of $z$-ideals of $mathcal{R}L$ is a normal coherent Yosida frame, which extends the corresponding $C(X)$ result of Mart'{i}nez and Zenk. This we do by exhibiting $Zid(mathcal{R}L)$ as a quotient of $Rad(mathcal{R}L)$, the ...
[ 2 ] - A note on the socle of certain types of f-rings
For any reduced commutative $f$-ring with identity and bounded inversion, we show that a condition which is obviously necessary for the socle of the ring to coincide with the socle of its bounded part, is actually also sufficient. The condition is that every minimal ideal of the ring consist entirely of bounded elements. It is not too stringent, and is satisfied, for instance, by rings of ...
