A + B rings are constructed from a ring A and nonempty set of prime ideals of A. Initially, these rings were created to provide examples of reduced rings which satisfy certain annihilator conditions. We describe precisely when A + B rings have these properties, based on the ring A and set of prime ideals of A. We continue by giving necessary and su cient conditions for A + B rings to have various other properties. We also consider annihilators in the context of frames of ideals of reduced rings. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

This dissertation investigates the interplay between properties of Ext modules and ascent of module structures along ring homomorphisms. First, we consider a flat local ring homomorphism ϕ: (R, [special characters omitted], k) → (S, [special characters omitted]S, k). We show that if M is a finitely generated R-module such that [special characters omitted](S, M) satisfies NAK (e.g. if [special characters omitted](S, M) is finitely generated over S) for i = 1,…, dimR( M), then [special characters omitted](S, M) = 0 for all i ≠ 0 and M has an S-module structure via ϕ. We also provide explicit computations of [special characters omitted](S, M) to indicate how large it can be when M does not have a compatible S-module structure. Next, we consider the properties of an R-module M that has a compatible S-module structure via the flat local ring homomorphism ϕ. Our results in this direction show that M cannot see the difference between the rings R and S. Specifically, many homological invariants of M are the same when computed over R and over S. Finally, we investigate these ideas in the non-local setting. We consider a faithfully flat ring homomorphism ϕ: R → S such that for all [special characters omitted] ∈ m-Spec R, the map R/[special characters omitted] → S/[special characters omitted]S is an isomorphism and the induced map ϕ*: Spec( S) → Spec(R) is such that ϕ*(m-Spec( S)) ⊆ m-Spec(R), and show that if M is a finitely generated R-module such that [special characters omitted](S, M) satisfies NAK for i = 1,…,dim R(M), then M has an S-module structure via ϕ, and obtain the same Ext vanishing as in the local case.
