At Eurocrypt 2010, Freeman proposed a transformation from pairing-based schemes in composite-order bilinear groups to equivalent ones in prime-order bilinear groups. His transformation can be applied to pairing-based cryptosystems exploiting only one of two properties of composite-order bilinear groups: cancelling and projecting. At Asiacrypt 2010, Meiklejohn, Shacham, and Freeman showed that p...

In this paper, we give a generalization of the integral dependence from rings to modules. We study the stability of the integral closure with respect to various module theoretic constructions. Moreover, we introduce the notion of integral extension of a module and prove the Lying over, Going up and Going down theorems for modules.

All rings are commutative with identity and all modules are unital. Let R be a ring, M an R-module and R(M), the idealization of M . Homogenous ideals of R(M) have the form I (+)N , where I is an ideal of R and N a submodule of M such that IM ⊆ N . A ring R (M) is called a homogeneous ring if every ideal of R (M) is homogeneous. In this paper we continue our recent work on the idealization of m...

The cardinality of the minimal generating set of a module M i.e g(M) plays a very important role in the study of QTAG-Modules. Fuchs [1] mentioned the importance of upper and lower basic subgroups of primary groups. A need was felt to generalize these concepts for modules. An upper basic submodule B of a QTAG-Module M reveals much more information about the structure of M . We find that each ba...

primary-like and weakly primary-like submodules are two new generalizations of primary ideals from rings to modules. in fact, the class of primary-like submodules of a module lie between primary submodules and weakly primary-like submodules properly.  in this note, we show that these three classes coincide when their elements are submodules of a multiplication module and satisfy the primeful pr...

‎Let $G$ be a group with identity $e.$ Let $R$ be a $G$-graded‎ ‎commutative ring and $M$ a graded $R$-module‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we‎ ‎introduce several results concerning graded classical prime‎ ‎submodules‎. ‎For example‎, ‎we give a characterization of graded‎ ‎classical prime submodules‎. ‎Also‎, ‎the relations between graded‎ ‎classical prime and graded prime submodules of $M$ are studied‎.‎

The notion of the square submodule of a module M over an arbitrary commutative ring R, which is denoted by RM, was introduced by Aghdam and Najafizadeh in [3]. In fact, RM is the R−submodule of M generated by the images of all bilinear maps on M. Furthermore, given a submodule N of an R−module M, we say that M is nil modulo N if μ(M×M) ≤ N for all bilinear maps μ on M. The main question about t...

Suppose that is an innnite set and k is a natural number. Let ] k denote the set of all k-subsets of and let F be a eld. In this paper we study the FSym(()-submodule structure of the permutation module F] k. Using the representation theory of nite symmetric groups, we show that every submodule of F] k can be written as an intersection of kernels of certain FSym(()-homomorphisms F] k ?! F] l for...

Submodule construction is the problem of finding a new submodule which, together with a given submodule, provides a behavior that conforms to a given desired global behavior. A new formulation of this problem and its solution in first-order logic is presented, and it is shown how the known solutions to this problem in the context of various communication paradigms and specification formalisms c...
