Let $R$ and $S$ be commutative rings with unity, $f\colon R\rightarrow S$ a ring homomorphism $J$ an ideal of $S$. Then the subring $R\bowtie ^fJ:=\lbrace (a,f(a)+j)\mid a\in R$ $j\in J\rbrace $ $R\times is called amalgamation along respect to $f$. In this paper, we determine when ^fJ$ (generalized) filter ring.

To any finite group Γ ⊂ Sp(V ) of automorphisms of a symplectic vector space V we associate a new multi-parameter deformation, Hκ, of the algebra C[V ]#Γ, smash product of Γ with the polynomial algebra on V . The parameter κ runs over points of CP , where r =number of conjugacy classes of symplectic reflections in Γ. The algebra Hκ, called a symplectic reflection algebra, is expected to be rela...

A ring R is called right א0-injective if every right homomorphism from a countably generated right ideal of R to RR can be extended to a homomorphism from RR to RR. In this note, some characterizations of א0-injective rings are given. It is proved that if R is semiperfect, then R is right א0injective if and only if every homomorphism from a countably generated small right ideal of R to RR can b...

Let M be a closed connected smooth manifold and G = Diff0(M) denote the connected component of the diffeomorphism group of M containing the identity. The natural action of G on M induces the trace homomorphism on homology. We show that the image of trace homomorphism is annihilated by the subalgebra of the cohomology ring of M , generated by the characteristic classes of M . Analogously, if J i...

This paper is presented as an undergraduate honors thesis by Christopher Severs under the supervision of Professor Jeffrey Remmel at UCSD. The aim of the project was to read material about permutation statistics and generating functions for the ring of symmetric functions and then address a problem not covered in the literature to date. In working on this project the author gained a much better...

For any linear algebraic group G, we define a ring CHBG, the ring of characteristic classes with values in the Chow ring (that is, the ring of algebraic cycles modulo rational equivalence) for principal G-bundles over smooth algebraic varieties. We show that this coincides with the Chow ring of any quotient variety (V −S)/G in a suitable range of dimensions, where V is a representation of G and...
