We investigate the structure of prime ideals of finite height in polynomial extension rings of a commutative unitary ring R. We consider the question of finite generation of such prime ideals. The valuative dimension of prime ideals of R plays an important role in our considerations. If X is an infinite set of indeterminates over R, we prove that every prime ideal of R[X] of finite height is fi...

Let p be a prime k|p−1, t = (p−1)/k and γ(k, p) be the minimal value of s such that every number is a sum of s k-th powers (mod p). We prove Heilbronn’s conjecture that γ(k, p) k1/2 for t > 2. More generally we show that for any positive integer q, γ(k, p) ≤ C(q)k1/q for φ(t) ≥ q. A comparable lower bound is also given. We also establish exact values for γ(k, p) when φ(t) = 2. For instance, whe...

In the present paper, we introduce the notion of fuzzy Aideals of MV -modules over PMV -algebras and several properties of fuzzy A-ideals are given. Using this concept, a prime fuzzy A-ideal is defined. Using a level set of a fuzzy set in MV -modules, we give a characterization of prime fuzzy A-ideals in MV -modules. Finally, we prove that the homomorphic image and preimage of prime fuzzy A-ide...

After the introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh [20] in 1965, several researchers have been working on the generalization of the fuzzification. In 1986, Atanassov [2] introduced the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. For more details on the intuitionistic fuzzy sets, we refer to [2-4]. Fuzzy sets are intuitionistic fuzzy sets but the converse is not necessarily true [18]. Kim and Jun [7, 8] int...

The purpose of this paper is to study some properties of cartesian product of fuzzy completely prime ideals and fuzzy completely semiprime ideals of Γ-semigroups. Operator semigroups of a Γ-semigroup has been made to work by obtaining various relationships between cartesian product of fuzzy ideals (fuzzy completely prime ideals, fuzzy completely semiprime ideals) of a Γ-semigroup and that of it...

In this paper we introduce the notions of pure ideals, weakly pure ideals in ternary semigroups. We also de ne purely prime ideals of a ternary semigroup and study some properties of these ideals. The space of purely prime two-sided ideal is topologized.

In this paper, we introduce and study the prime, strongly prime,semiprime and irreducible fuzzy bi-ideals of a semigroup. We characterize thosesemigroups for which each fuzzy bi-ideal is semiprime. We also characterizethose semigroups for which each fuzzy bi-ideal is strongly prime.

In this paper authors have given a separation theorem for α ideals in a 0distributive lattice. Some characterizations of semi prime ideals have been discussed. Then they have included an interesting result on *-ideals in a p-algebra by using the properties of semi prime ideals.
