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...

Let $G$ be a group with identity $e$ and $R$ be a commutative $G$-graded ring with nonzero unity $1$. In this article, we introduce the concept of graded $r$-ideals. A proper graded ideal $P$ of a graded ring $R$ is said to be graded $r$-ideal if whenever $a, bin h(R)$ such that $abin P$ and $Ann(a)={0}$, then $bin P$. We study and investigate the behavior of graded $r$-ideals to introduce ...

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...

This paper introduces two virtual Decision Making Units (DMUs) called ideal point and anti-ideal point, Then calculates distances of each DMU to the ideal and anti-ideal point. The two distinctive distances are combined to form a comprehensive index called the relative closeness (RC) just like the TOPSIS approach. The RC index is used as an overall ranking for all the DMUs. Then, this method co...

The paper presents a model of cooperation in dialogues which emphasizes the role of ethical consideration in the formation and persistence of the agents' intentions. It is argued that the agents' knowledge of the task is not enough for successful communication, but the agents must also consider each other ethically. Their cooperation involves not only benevolent goal adoption but also evaluatio...

Cremona, Mazur, and others have studied what they call visibility of elements of Shafarevich-Tate groups of elliptic curves. The analogue for an abelian number field K is capitulation of ideal classes of K in the minimal cyclotomic field containing K. We develop a new method to study capitulation and use it and classical methods to compute data with the hope of gaining insight into the elliptic...

Last week, Ari taught you about one kind of “simple” (in the nontechnical sense) ring, specifically semisimple rings. These have the property that every module splits as a direct sum of simple modules (in the technical sense). This week, we’ll look at a rather different kind of ring, namely a principal ideal domain, or PID. These rings, like semisimple rings, have the property that every (finit...

The indistinguishability of identical particles has profound effects at low temperatures and/or high density where quantum mechanical wave packets overlap appreciably. The occupation representation is used to study the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of ideal quantum gases satisfying FermiDirac or Bose-Einstein statistics. This notebook concentrates on formal and conceptual development...
