This thesis is aimed at generalizing notions of rings to modules. In par-ticular, notions of completely prime ideals, s-prime ideals, 2-primal rings and nilpotency of elements of rings are respectively generalized to completely prime submodules and classical completely prime submodules, s-prime submodules, 2-primal modules and nilpotency of elements of modules. Properties and rad-icals that arise from each of these notions are studied.

For a given abelian category o/, a category E is formed by considering exact sequences of o/. If one imposes the condition that a split sequence be regarded as the zero object, then the resulting sequence category E/S is shown to be abelian. The intrinsic algebraic structure of E/S is examined and related to the theory of coherent functors and functor rings. E/S is shown to be the natural setting for the study of pure and copure sequences and the theory is further developed by introducing repure sequences. The concept of pure semi-simple categories is examined in terms of E/S. Localization with respect to pure sequences is developed, leading to results concerning the existence of algebraically compact objects. The final topic is a study of the simple sequences and their relationship to almost split exact sequences. / Science, Faculty of / Mathematics, Department of / Graduate

We present some results about chains of monoids S₀ → S₁ → S.₂. and their associated representation rings, with particular emphasis to behavior as the index n (viz. S_n) varies. A rich supply of such chains of monoids can be found via specializations of diagrammatic algebras or variations of diagrammatic algebras, where the inclusions involve the addition of loose strands. This thesis comprises of original results along three themes associated with the above: (1) Identifying a certain polynomial property featuring operators on representation rings, and a characterization of chains of groups G₀ →G₁ → G₂ .. which satisfy this polynomial property. (2) Understanding the induced action on homology from topological actions of the chain of Temperley-Lieb monoids TL₁ → TL₂ → TL₃ ... . Making the analogy to classical representation stability. (3) Identifying chains of diagrammatic monoids S₀ → S₁ → S₂ .. on which cryptographic protocols resist linear attacks. Explicitly computes lower bounds on the dimensions of all representations of various truncations of diagrammatic monoids.
