We establish a necessary condition for a commutative Banach algebra A so that there exists a homomorphism θ from A into another Banach algebra such that the prime radical of the continuity ideal of θ is not a finite intersection of prime ideals in A. We prove that the prime radical of the continuity ideal of an epimorphism from A onto another Banach algebra (or of a derivation from A into a Ban...

The separating space of a derivation onA is a separating ideal [2, Chapter 5]; it also satisfies the same property for the left products. The following assertions are of the most famous conjectures about derivations on Banach algebras: (C1) every derivation on a Banach algebra has a nilpotent separating ideal; (C2) every derivation on a semiprime Banach algebra is continuous; (C3) every derivat...

In this paper we introduce the notion of interval-valued (i.v.) fuzzy prime and semiprime ideals of a hypersemiring and study different properties of these two ideals. Finally, we examine the strongly irreducibility and irreducibility of an i.v. fuzzy ideal of a hypersemiring and characterize the equivalence of primeness, strongly irreducibility and irreducibility of an i.v. fuzzy ideal of a fu...

In this paper we investgate some properties of fuzzy ideal extension of fuzzy ideal, fuzzy prime ideal, fuzzy semiprime ideal of a Γ−semiring. Among other results we have obtained a characterization of a prime ideal I of a Γ−semiring in terms of fuzzy ideal extension of its characteristic function λI .

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. Let $G(R)$ denote the maximal graph associated to $R$, i.e., $G(R)$ is a graph with vertices as the elements of $R$, where two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if there is a maximal ideal of $R$ containing both. Let $Gamma(R)$ denote the restriction of $G(R)$ to non-unit elements of $R$. In this paper we study the various graphi...

This paper defines an isomorphism, an anti-isomorphism and a Jordan isomorphism in a gamma ring and develops some important results relating to these concepts. Using these results we prove Herstein’s theorem of classical rings in case of prime gamma rings by showing that every Jordan isomorphism of a 2-torsion free prime gamma ring is either an isomorphism or an anti-isomorphism.

Prolyl 4-hydroxylases install a hydroxyl group in the 4R configuration on the gamma-carbon atom of certain (2S)-proline (Pro) residues in tropocollagen, elastin, and other proteins to form (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline (Hyp). The gauche effect arising from this prevalent post-translational modification enforces a C(gamma)-exo ring pucker and stabilizes the collagen triple helix. The Hyp diastereomer...

Preface The term " quantum group " was popularized by Drinfeld in his address to the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley. However, the concepts of quantum groups and quasitriangular Hopf algebras are the same. Therefore, Hopf algebras have close connections with various areas of mathematics and physics. The development of Hopf algebras can be divided into five stages. The first...
