This article consists of a collection of open problems in commutative algebra. The collection covers a wide range of topics from both Noetherian and non-Noetherian ring theory and exhibits a variety of research approaches, including the use of homological algebra, ring theoretic methods, and star and semistar operation techniques. The problems were contributed by the authors and editors of this...

the generalized principal ideal theorem is one of the cornerstones of dimension theory for noetherian rings. for an r-module m, we identify certain submodules of m that play a role analogous to that of prime ideals in the ring r. using this definition, we extend the generalized principal ideal theorem to modules.

For any commutative ring $A$ we introduce a generalization of $S$--noetherian rings using here\-ditary torsion theory $\sigma$ instead multiplicatively closed subset $S\subseteq{A}$. It is proved that totally noetherian w.r.t. local property, and if w.r.t $\sigma$, then finite type.

A ring is called a Gelfand ring (pm ring ) if each prime ideal is contained in a unique maximal ideal. For a Gelfand ring R with Jacobson radical zero, we show that the following are equivalent: (1) R is Artinian; (2) R is Noetherian; (3) R has a finite Goldie dimension; (4) Every maximal ideal is generated by an idempotent; (5) Max (R) is finite. We also give the following resu1ts:an ideal...

Let $R$ be a right artinian ring or a perfect commutative‎‎ring‎. ‎Let $M$ be a noncosingular self-generator $sum$-lifting‎‎module‎. ‎Then $M$ has a direct decomposition $M=oplus_{iin I} M_i$‎,‎where each $M_i$ is noetherian quasi-projective and each‎‎endomorphism ring $End(M_i)$ is local‎.

In Bishop-style constructive algebra it is known that if a module over a commutative ring has a Noetherian basis function, then it is Noetherian. Using countable choice we prove the reverse implication for countable and strongly discrete modules. The Hilbert basis theorem for this specific class of Noetherian modules, and polynomials in a single variable, follows with Tennenbaum’s celebrated ve...

Let V be an absolutely irreducible representation of a profinite group G over the residue field k of a noetherian local ring O. For local complete O-algebras A with residue field k the representations of G over A that reduce to V over k are given by O-algebra homomorphisms R → A, where R is the universal deformation ring of V . We show this with an explicit construction of R. The ring R is noet...

a module m is called epi-retractable if every submodule of m is a homomorphic image of m. dually, a module m is called co-epi-retractable if it contains a copy of each of its factor modules. in special case, a ring r is called co-pli (resp. co-pri) if rr (resp. rr) is co-epi-retractable. it is proved that if r is a left principal right duo ring, then every left ideal of r is an epi-retractable ...
