in this paper, various elementary properties of vague rings are obtained. furthermore, the concepts of vague subring, vague ideal, vague prime ideal and vague maximal ideal are introduced, and the validity of some relevant classical results in these settings are investigated.

one of the most important characteristics of the eternal religion is the adaptation of its decrees with the changes of the human’s life in the transition of time. so, it is necessary for us to review the second decrees as the flexible dimensions of the decrees. according to the causes of some decrees’ change, altering the decree’s subject leads to the change of the primitive decrees into the se...

notions of strongly regular, regular and left(right) regular $gamma$−semigroupsare introduced. equivalent conditions are obtained through fuzzy notion for a$gamma$−semigroup to be either strongly regular or regular or left regular.

let $r$ be a commutative ring with identity and $mathbb{a}(r)$ be the set   of ideals of $r$ with non-zero annihilators. in this paper, we first introduce and investigate the principal ideal subgraph of the annihilating-ideal graph of $r$, denoted by $mathbb{ag}_p(r)$. it is a (undirected) graph with vertices $mathbb{a}_p(r)=mathbb{a}(r)cap mathbb{p}(r)setminus {(0)}$, where   $mathbb{p}(r)$ is...

There had been well-known claims of unconditionally secure quantum protocols for bit commitment. However, we, and independently Mayers, showed that all proposed quantum bit commitment schemes are, in principle, insecure because the sender, Alice, can almost always cheat successfully by using an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) type of attack and delaying her measurements. One might wonder if secur...

Theorem 1.1. Let A be a semisimple complex Banach algebra with the following properties: (i) for every closed right ideal R in A, there exists a closed left ideal L such that R∩L= {0} and R+ L= A (each a∈ A can be written in the form a= a1 + a2 with a1 ∈ R, a2 ∈ L); (ii) if a,b in A are such that ab = ba= 0, then ‖a+ b‖2 = ‖a‖2 +‖b‖2. Then A is a commutative proper H∗-algebra [1]. It is easy to...
