Abstract Many well-known local rings, including soluble Iwasawa algebras and certain completed quantum algebras, arise naturally as iterated skew power series rings. We calculate their Krull global dimensions, obtaining lower bounds to complement the upper obtained by Wang. In fact, we show that many common such rings obey a stronger property, which call triangularity, allows us also classical ...

Let T be the set of minimal primes of a Krull domain A. If S is a subset of T9 we form B = n AP for PeS and study the relation of the class group of B to that of A. We find that the class group of B is always a homomorphic image of that of A. We use this type of construction to obtain a Krull domain with specified class group and then alter such a Krull domain to obtain a Dedekind domain with t...

The concepts of tropical semiring and tropical hypersurface, are extended to the case of an arbitrary ordered group. Then, we define the tropicalization of a polynomial with coefficients in a Krull-valued field. After a close study of the properties of the operator “tropicalization” we conclude with an extension of Kapranov’s theorem to algebraically closed fields together with a valuation over...

We resolve an open problem in commutative algebra and Field Arithmetic, posed by Jarden – Let R be a generalized Krull domain. Is the ring R[[X]] of formal power series over R a generalized Krull domain? We show that the answer is negative.

We introduce the concept of maximal orthogonal subcategories over artin algebras and orders, and develop higher Auslander-Reiten theory on them. Auslander-Reiten theory, especially the concept of almost split sequences and their existence theorem, is fundamental to study categories which appear in representation theory, for example, modules over artin algebras [ARS][GR][Ri], their functorially ...

This paper continues our study, begun in [MS], of the relationship between the prime ideals of an algebra A and of a subalgebra R such that R ⊂A is a faithfully flat H -Galois extension, for some finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H . In that paper we defined three basic Krull relations, Incomparability (INC), t-Lying Over (t-LO), and Going Up (GU), analogous to the classical Krull relations for p...
