in this paper a particular case of z-ideals, called strongly z-ideal, is defined by introducing zero sets in pointfree topology. we study strongly z-ideals, their relation with z-ideals and the role of spatiality in this relation. for strongly z-ideals, we analyze prime ideals using the concept of zero sets. moreover, it is proven that the intersection of all zero sets of a prime ideal of c(l),...

A completely primary finite ring is a ring R with identity 1 = 0 whose subset of all its zero divisors forms the unique maximal ideal J . Let R be a commutative completely primary finite ring with the unique maximal ideal J such that J3 = (0) and J2 = (0). Then R/J ∼= GF(pr) and the characteristic of R is pk, where 1≤ k ≤ 3, for some prime p and positive integer r. Let Ro =GR(pkr , pk) be a Gal...

The object of the investigation is to study reducible $M$-ideals in Banach spaces. It is shown that if the number of $M$-ideals in a Banach space $X$ is $n(<infty)$, then the number of reducible $M$-ideals does not exceed of $frac{(n-2)(n-3)}{2}$. Moreover, given a compact metric space $X$, we obtain a general form of a reducible $M$-ideal in the space $C(X)$ of continuous functions on $X$. The...

We construct a Banach space Z such that the lattice of closed two-sided ideals of the Banach algebra B(Z) of bounded operators on Z is as follows: {0} ⊂ K (Z) ⊂ E (Z) ⊂ ⊂ M1 M2 ⊂ ⊂ We then determine which kinds of approximate identities (bounded/left/right), if any, each of the four non-trivial closed ideals of B(Z) contains, and we show that the maximal ideal M1 is generated as a left ideal by...
