First order conditions are given which are necessary for a commutative regular ring to have a prime integrally closed extension. If the ring is countable these conditions are also sufficient. In [8] an example was given of a commutative regular ring with no prime model extension to a commutative integrally closed regular ring. In this paper we give (in §2) first order conditions which are neces...

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.

ÐChordal rings have been proposed in the past as networks that combine the simple routing framework of rings with the lower diameter, wider bisection, and higher resilience of other architectures. Virtually all proposed chordal ring networks are nodesymmetric, i.e., all nodes have the same in/out degree and interconnection pattern. Unfortunately, such regular chordal rings are not scalable. In ...

We consider the class of all commutative reduced rings for which there exists a finite subset T ⊂ A such that all projections on quotients by prime ideals of A are surjective when restricted to T . A complete structure theorem is given for this class of rings, and it is studied its relation with other finiteness conditions on the quotients of a ring over its prime ideals. Introduction Our aim i...
