The concepts of a prime ideal of a distributively generated (d.g.) nearring R, a prime d.g. near-ring and an irreducible R-group are introduced1). The annihilating ideal of an irreducible R-group with an R-generator is a prime ideal. Consequently we define a prime ideal to be primitively prime if it is the annihilating ideal of such an R-group, and a d.g. near-ring to be a primitively prime nea...

In this paper, we introduce a method by which we can find a close connection between the set of prime $z$-ideals of $C(X)$ and the same of $C(Y)$, for some special subset $Y$ of $X$. For instance, if $Y=Coz(f)$ for some $fin C(X)$, then there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the set of prime $z$-ideals of $C(Y)$ and the set of prime $z$-ideals of $C(X)$ not containing $f$. Moreover, c...

Throughout, all rings are associative with an identity element but not necessarily commutative. During the decade of 1980s, a series of papers appeared in the Canadian Journal of Mathematics [1, 2] that had investigated pairs of commutative rings with the same set of prime ideals. In this paper, we consider some generalizations of that study in the noncommutative setting. Consider the ring R= H...

We study prime algebras of quadratic growth. Our first result is that if A is a prime monomial algebra of quadratic growth then A has finitely many prime ideals P such that A/P has GK dimension one. This shows that prime monomial algebras of quadratic growth have bounded matrix images. We next show that a prime graded algebra of quadratic growth has the property that the intersection of the non...

This paper was motivated by a problem left by Herzog and Hibi, namely to classify all unmixed polymatroidal ideals. In the particular case of polymatroidal ideals corresponding to discrete polymatroids of Veronese type, i.e ideals of Veronese type, we give a complete description of the associated prime ideals and then, we show that such an ideal is unmixed if and only if it is CohenMacaulay. We...

Byun, H.L. and S. Watson, Prime and maximal ideals in subrings of C(X), Topology and its Applications 40 (1991) 45-62. The structure of ideals in the ring C(X) of continuous functions on a completely regular space X and its subring C*(X) consisting of the bounded functions is well known. In this paper we study the prime and maximal ideals in subrings A(X) of C(X) that contain C*(X). We show tha...

We investigate the theory IAo + Q, and strengthen [Bu86. Theorem 8.6] to the following: if NP 7 co-NP. then 1-completeness for witness comparison foumulas is not provable in bounded arithmetic.

Let R be a commutative radical Fréchet algebra having a nonnilpotent element a with a ∈ Ra. Then R contains a continuum of incomparable prime ideals. In [3], J. Esterle proved the following result; it is a main ingredient in his proof that epimorphisms from C0(Ω) onto Banach algebras are continuous. Theorem (Esterle). Let R be a commutative radical Banach algebra. Suppose that there exists a no...
