We study state space equations within the white noise space setting. A commutative ring of power series in a countable number of variables plays an important role. Transfer functions are rational functions with coefficients in this commutative ring, and are characterized in a number of ways. A major feature in our approach is the observation that key characteristics of a linear, time invariant,...

Let R be a commutative ring and Z(R) be its set of all zero-divisors. D. F. Anderson and A. Badawi[2] introduced the total graph of R, denoted by TΓ(R), as the undirected graph with vertex set R, and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if x+ y ∈ Z(R). For a commutative Artin ring R, T. Tamizh Chelvam and T. Asir[15] obtained the domination number of the total graph and studie...

This paper concerns a subtle issue that arises when attempting to invert element in the homotopy groups of equivariant commutative (E∞) rings. It arose for the authors in [5], as part of the construction of the spectrum there denoted Ω, and was called to our attention when Justin Noel asked us, “how do you know you can do that?” To set the stage, let G be a finite group, and R a G-equivariant c...

We show that the category of projective modules over a graded commutative ring admits a triangulation with respect to module suspension if and only if the ring is a finite product of graded fields and exterior algebras on one generator over a graded field (with a unit in the appropriate degree). We also classify the ungraded commutative rings for which the category of projective modules admits ...

The total graph of a commutative ring have been introduced and studied by D. F. Anderson and A. Badawi in [1]. In a manner analogous to a commutative ring, the total torsion element graph of a module M over a commtative ring R can be defined as the undirected graph T (Γ(M)). The basic properties and possible structures of the graph T (Γ(M)) are studied. The main purpose of this paper is to exte...

Definition 2.1. A commutative ring R is Noetherian if every chain of ideals in R I0 ⊂ I1 ⊂ I2 ⊂ · · · terminates after a finite number of steps (i.e., there is an interger k such that Is = Ik if s ≥ k). Remark 2.2. Polynomial rings R [X1, . . . , Xn] are Noetherian if R is. In particular, S (p) = C [p∗] is Noetherian. Theorem 2.3. If R is a Noetherian ring, and M is a finitely generated R-modul...

In this paper we construct a q-deformation of the Witt-Burnside ring of a profinite group over a commutative ring, where q ranges over the ring of integers. When q = 1, this coincides with the Witt-Burnside ring introduced by A. To achieve our goal we show that there exists a q-deformation of the necklace ring of a profinite group over a commutative ring. As in the classical case, i.e., the cas...

A ring $R$ with an automorphism $sigma$ and a $sigma$-derivation $delta$ is called $delta$-quasi-Baer (resp., $sigma$-invariant quasi-Baer) if the right annihilator of every $delta$-ideal (resp., $sigma$-invariant ideal) of $R$ is generated by an idempotent, as a right ideal. In this paper, we study Baer and quasi-Baer properties of skew PBW extensions. More exactly, let $A=sigma(R)leftlangle x...

It is shown that a commutative Bézout ring R with compact minimal prime spectrum is an elementary divisor ring if and only if so is R/L for each minimal prime ideal L. This result is obtained by using the quotient space pSpec R of the prime spectrum of the ring R modulo the equivalence generated by the inclusion. When every prime ideal contains only one minimal prime, for instance if R is arith...

In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the notion of $(m,n)$-‎algebr‎aically compact modules as an analogue of algebraically‎ ‎compact modules and then we show that $(m,n)$-algebraically‎ ‎compactness‎ ‎and $(m,n)$-pure injectivity for modules coincide‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎further characterizations of a‎ ‎$(m,n)$-pure injective module over a commutative ring are given‎.
