in his paper mentioned in the title, which appears in the same issue of this journal, mehdi radjabalipour derives the cyclic decomposition of an algebraic linear transformation. a more general structure theory for linear transformations appears in irving kaplansky's lovely 1954 book on infinite abelian groups. we present a translation of kaplansky's results for abelian groups into the...

We show that every graded locally finite right noetherian algebra has sub-exponential growth. As a consequence, every noetherian algebra with exponential growth has no finite dimensional filtration which leads to a right (or left) noetherian associated graded algebra. We also prove that every connected graded right noetherian algebra with finite global dimension has finite GK-dimension. Using t...

We give an alternative construction of the duality between finite group actions and group gradings on rings which was shown by Cohen and Montgomery in [1]. This duality is then used to extend known results on skew group rings to corresponding results for large classes of group-graded rings. Finally we modify the construction slightly to handle infinite groups. Introduction. In the first section...

let $g$ be a group with identity $e$. let $r$ be a $g$-graded commutative ring with a non-zero identity and $m$ be a graded $r$-module. in this article, we introduce the concept of graded almost semiprime submodules. also, we investigate some basic properties of graded almost semiprime and graded weakly semiprime submodules and give some characterizations of them.

It is a classical observation of Serre that the Hecke algebra acts locally nilpotently on the graded ring of modular forms modulo 2 for the full modular group. Here we consider the problem of classifying spaces of modular forms for which this phenomenon continues to hold. We give a number of consequences of this investigation as they relate to quadratic forms, partition functions, and central v...

We investigate the possibility of constructing a locally supersymmetric extension of NGT (Nonsymmetric Gravitation Theory), based on the graded extension of the Poincaré group. In the framework of the simple model that we propose, we end up with a no-go result, namely the impossibility of cancelling some linear contribution in the gravitino field. This drawback seems to seriously undermine the ...
