A family of (p-1)-dimensional over-lattices yielding new record packings for several values of p in interval [149... 3001] is presented. The result is obtained by modifying Craig's construction and considering conveniently chosen Z-submodules of Q (ζ), where ζ is a primitive pth root of unity. For p ≥ 59, it is shown that the center density of the (p-1)-dimensional lattice in the new family is at least twice the center density of the (p-1)-dimensional Craig lattice.

The structure of minimal zero-dimensional extension of rings with Noetherian spectrum in which zero is a primary ideal and with at most one prime ideal of height greater than one is determined. These rings include K[[X,T]] where K is a field and Dedenkind domains, but need not be Noetherian nor integrally closed. We show that for such a ring R there is a one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of minimal zero-dimensional extensions of R and sets M, where the elements of M are ideals of R primary for distinct prime ideals of height greater than zero. A subsidiary result is the classification of minimal zero-dimensional extensions of general ZPI-rings. / by Marcela Chiorescu. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2009. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

We say that a commutative ring R has the unique decomposition into ideals (UDI) property if, for any R-module which decomposes into a finite direct sum of indecomposable ideals, this decomposition is unique up to the order and isomorphism class of the ideals. In a 2001 paper, Goeters and Olberding characterize the UDI property for Noetherian integral domains. In Chapters 1-3 the UDI property for reduced Noetherian rings is characterized. In Chapter 4 it is shown that overrings of one-dimensional reduced commutative Noetherian rings with the UDI property have the UDI property, also. In Chapter 5 we show that the UDI property implies the Krull-Schmidt property for direct sums of torsion-free rank one modules for a reduced local commutative Noetherian one-dimensional ring R. / by Basak Ay. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2010. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Οι αντιμεταθετικοί δακτύλιοι έχουν την προέλευσή τους από τη θεωρία αριθμών και από την αλγεβρική γεωμετρία στον 19ο αιώνα. Σήμερα είναι ιδιαίτερα σημαντικοί και έχουν ενδιαφέρουσα επίδραση στην αλγεβρική γεωμετρία και στην θεωρία αριθμών, χρησιμοποιώντας μεθόδους αντιμεταθετικής άλγεβρας. Εδώ περιγράφουμε τις βασικές μεθόδους και κάνουμε τα πρώτα βήματα σε αυτό το θέμα. Στο εξής όλοι οι δακτύλιοι θα είναι αντιμεταθετικοί, εκτός αν θεωρήσουμε κάτι άλλο. Το κεντρικό θέμα της αξιωματικής ανάπτυξης της γραμμικής άλγεβρας είναι ένας διανυσματικός χώρος επί ενός σώματος. Η αξιωματοποίηση της γραμμικής άλγεβρας, η οποία επιτεύχθηκε το 1920, μορφοποιήθηκε σε μια μεγάλη έκταση, από την επιθυμία να εισάγουμε γεωμετρικές έννοιες στη μελέτη συγκεκριμένων κλάσεων των συναρτήσεων στην ανάλυση. Κατ’ αρχάς, ασχοληθήκαμε αποκλειστικά με τους διανυσματικούς χώρους των πραγματικών αριθμών ή των μιγαδικών αριθμών. Η έννοια ενός module είναι μια άμεση γενίκευση ενός διανυσματικού χώρου. Η γενίκευση αυτή επιτυγχάνεται απλά αντικαθιστώντας το σώμα των συντελεστών διά ενός δακτυλίου. Ο ευκολότερος τρόπος για να ορίσουμε ένα module μπορούμε να πούμε ότι είναι ένα αλγεβρικό σύστημα το οποίο ικανοποιεί τα ίδια αξιώματα όπως ένας διανυσματικός χώρος εκτός του ότι οι συντελεστές ανήκουν σ’ ένα δακτύλιο R με μονάδα αντί ενός σώματος F. Αυτή η φαινομενικά σεμνή γενίκευση οδηγεί σε μια αλγεβρική δομή η οποία είναι μεγίστης σημασίας. Ιστορικά ο πρώτος δακτύλιος που μελετήθηκε ήταν ο δακτύλιος ℤ των ακεραίων, ο όρος “δακτύλιος” πρωτοχρησιμοποιήθηκε από τον Hilbert (1897) στο “Zahlbericht” του για έναν δακτύλιο αλγεβρικών ακεραίων. Στο ℤ κάθε δακτύλιος είναι κύριος. Στην πραγματικότητα τα ιδεώδη είχαν πρώτα εισαχθεί (από Kummer) ως “ιδεώδεις αριθμοί” στους δακτυλίους αλγεβρικών ακεραίων οι οποίοι εστερούντο μοναδικής παραγοντοντοποίησης (unique factorization). Στο ℤ μπορούμε από δύο αριθμούς a,b να ορίσουμε τον μέγιστο κοινό διαιρέτη (ΜΚΔ) αυτών, (a,b), το γινόμενό τους ab και το ελάχιστο κοινό πολλαπλάσιο (ΕΚΠ) αυτών, [a,b]. Αυτές οι πράξεις αντιστοιχούν σε πράξεις ιδεωδών σε κάθε δακτύλιο. / Commutative ring has its origins in number theory its origins in number theory and algebraic geometry in the 19th century. Today it is of particular importance in algebraic geometry, and there has been an interesting interaction of algebraic geometry and number theory, using the methods of commutative algebra. Here we can do no more than describe the basic techniques and take the first steps in the first steps in the subject. Throughout this chapter all rings will be commutative, unless otherwise stated. The central concept of the axiomatic development of linear algebra is that of a vector space over a field. The axiomatization of linear algebra, which was effected in the 1920’s, was motivated to a large extend by the desire to introduce geometric notions in the study of certain classes of functions in analysis. At first one dealt exclusively with vector spaces over the reals or the complexes. It soon became apparent that this restriction was rather artificial , since a large body of the results depended only on the solution of linear equations and thus were valid for arbitrary fields. This led to the study of vactor spaces over arbitrary fields and this is what presently constitutes linear algebra. The concept of a module is an immediate generalization of that of a vector space. One obtains the generalization by simply replacing the underlying field by any ring.In the first place, one learns from experience that the internal logical structure of mathematics strongly urges the pursuit of such ‘natural’ generalizations. These often result in an improved insight into the theory which led to them in the first place. The easiest way to define a module is to say that it is an algebraic system that satisfies the same axioms as a vector space except that the scalars come from a ring R with a 1 instead of from a field F. This seemingly modest generalization leads to an algebraic structure that is of the greatest importance. We use here the term R-module, it being understood that the scalars are written on the left. Historically the first ring to studied was the ring Z of integers, the term ‘ring’ was first used by Hilbert (1897) in his ‘Zahlbericht’ for a ring of algebraic integers. In Z every ideal is principal, in fact ideals were first introduced (by Kummer) as ‘ideal numbers’ in rings of algebraic integers which lacked unique factorization. In Z we can from any two numbers a,b form their highest common factor (HCF, also greatest common divisor, GCD) (a,b), their product ab and their least common multiple (LCM) [a,b]. These operations correspond to operations on ideals in any ring. Valuation theory may be described as the study of divisibility (in commutative rings) in its purest form, but that is only one aspect. The general formulation leads to the introduction of topological concepts like completion, which provides a powerful tool. It also emphasizes the parallel with the absolute value on the real and complex numbers. After the initial definitions we shall prove the essential uniqueness of the absolute value on R and C, and go on to describe the p-adic numbers, before looking at simple cases of the extension problem.

O objetivo desta dissertação é estudar a caracterização dos módulos injetivos sobre anéis noetherianos e comutativos, dada por Eben Matlis em [16], como soma direta de módulos da forma E(A P ). Assim, discutimos algumas propriedades dos mó- dulos injetivos indecomponíveis sobre esses tipos de anéis. Em particular, mostramos que o completamento do anel local Ap é isomorfo ao anel HomA(E(A P );E(A P )). A partir disso, mostramos que, quando o anel for comutativo, noetheriano, local e completo, então a categoria dos módulos noetherianos e a categoria dual dos módulos artinianos são equivalentes. / The goal of this work is to study the characterization of injective modules over Noetherian and commutative rings, given by Eben Matlis in [16], as a direct sum of modules of the form E(A P ). Thus, we discuss some properties of injective indecomposable modules over these types of rings. In particular, we show that the completion of the local ring Ap is isomorphic to the ring HomA(E(A P );E(A P )). From this, we show that, when a ring is commutative, noetherian, local and complete, the category of the Noetherian modules and the dual category of Artinian modules are equivalent.
