If R is a ring and S is a semigroup, the corresponding semigroup ring is denoted by R[S]. A ring is semiprime if it has no nonzero nilpotent ideals. A semigroup S is a semilattice P of semigroups Sα if there exists a homomorphism φ of S onto the semilattice P such that Sα = αφ−1 for each α ∈ P.

Throughout this paper the ring R and the semigroup S are commutative with identity; moreover, it is assumed that S is cancellative, i.e., that S can be embedded in a group. The aim of this note is to determine necessary and sufficient conditions on R and S that the semigroup ring R[S] should be one of the following types of rings: principal ideal ring (PIR), ZPI-ring, Bezout, semihereditary or arithmetical. These results shed some light on the structure of semigroup rings and provide a source of examples of the rings listed above. They also play a key role in the determination of all commutative reduced arithmetical semigroup rings (without the cancellative hypothesis on S) which will appear in a forthcoming paper by Leo Chouinard and the authors [4].

Abstract Given a partial action π of an inverse semigroup S on a ring {\mathcal{A}} , one may construct its associated skew inverse semigroup ring {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} . Our main result asserts that, when {\mathcal{A}} is commutative, the ring {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} is simple if, and only if, {\mathcal{A}} is a maximal commutative subring of {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} and {\mathcal{A}} is S-simple. We apply this result in the context of topological inverse semigroup actions to connect simplicity of the associated skew inverse semigroup ring with topological properties of the action. Furthermore, we use our result to present a new proof of the simplicity criterion for a Steinberg algebra {A_{R}(\mathcal{G})} associated with a Hausdorff and ample groupoid {\mathcal{G}} .

Let N denote the set of non-negative integers. An affine semigroup is a finitely generated submonoid S of the additive monoid Nm for some positive integer m. Let k[S] denote the semigroup ring of S over a field k. Then one can identify k[S] with the subring of a polynomial ring k[t1, …, tm] generated by the monomials .

In this article, we introduce the normalizer [Formula: see text] of a subset X of a ring R (with identity) in the unit group [Formula: see text] and consider, in particular, the normalizer of the natural basis ±S of the integral semigroup ring ℤ0S of a finite semigroup S. We investigate properties of this normalizer for the class of semigroup rings of inverse semigroups, which contains, for example, matrix rings, in particular, matrix rings over group rings, and partial group rings. We also construct free groups in the unit group of an integral semigroup ring of a Brandt semigroup using a bicyclic unit.

Abstract Given an action ${\varphi }$ of inverse semigroup S on a ring A (with domain of ${\varphi }(s)$ denoted by $D_{s^*}$ ), we show that if the ideals $D_e$ , with e an idempotent, are unital, then the skew inverse semigroup ring $A\rtimes S$ can be realized as the convolution algebra of an ample groupoid with coefficients in a sheaf of (unital) rings. Conversely, we show that the convolution algebra of an ample groupoid with coefficients in a sheaf of rings is isomorphic to a skew inverse semigroup ring of this sort. We recover known results in the literature for Steinberg algebras over a field as special cases.

Let $ R $ be a commutative ring with 1. We define $ R $ to be an annihilator-semigroup ring if $ R $ has an annihilator-Semigroup $ S $, that is, $ (S, \cdot) $ is a multiplicative subsemigroup of $ (R, \cdot) $ with the property that for each $ r \in R $ there exists a unique $ s \in S $ with $ 0 : r = 0 : s $. In this paper we investigate annihilator-semigroups and annihilator-semigroup rings.

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K. If α2 − α ∈ D and α3 − α2 ∈ D imply α ∈ D for all elements α of K, then D is called a u-closed domain. A submonoid S of a torsion-free Abelian group is called a grading monoid. We consider the semigroup ring D[S] of a grading monoid S over a domain D. The main aim of this note is to determine conditions for D[S] to be u-closed. We shall show the following Theorem: D[S] is u-closed if and only if D is u-closed.

We give a complete description of the Brown–McCoy radical of a semigroup ring R[S], where R is an arbitrary associative ring and S is a commutative cancellative semigroup; in particular we obtain the answer to a question of E. Puczyłowski stated in [11]Throughout this note all rings R are associative with unity 1; all semigroups S are commutative and cancellative with unity. Note that the condition that R and S have a unity can be dropped (cf. [8]). The quotient group of S is denoted by Q(S). We say that S is torsion free (resp. has torsion free rank n) if Q(S) is torsion free (resp. has torsion free rank n). The Brown–McCoy radical (i.e. the upper radical determined by the class of all simple rings with unity) of a ring R is denoted by u(R). We refer to [2] for further detail on radicals and in particular on the Brown–McCoy radical.First we state some well-known results and a preliminary lemma. Let R and T be rings with the same unity such that R ⊂ T. Then T is said to be a normalizing extension of R if T = Rx1+…+Rxn for certain elements x1, …, xn of T and Rxi = xiR for all i such that 1 ∨i∨n. If all xi are central in T, then we say that T is a central normalizing extension of R.

Let denote the contracted semigroup ring of the ompletely 0-simple semigroup D over the ring R. The Rees structure theory of completely 0-simple semigroups is used to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions that have zero radical (Theorem 3.8). By using Amitsur's construction of the upper π-radical [1], we are able to treat the Jacobson, Baer (prime), Levitzki (locally nilpotent) and possibly the nil radicals simultaneously. Our results generalize a theorem of Munn [6] on semigroup algebras of finite 0-simple semigroups.

A ring (R, *) with involution * is called formally complex if implies that all Ai are 0. Let (R, *) be a formally complex ring and let S be an inverse semigroup. Let (R[S], *) be the semigroup ring with involution * defined by . We show that (R[S], *) is a formally complex ring. Let (S, *) be a semigroup with proper involution *(aa* = ab* = bb* ⇒ a = b) and let (R, *′) be a formally complex ring. We give a sufficient condition for (R[S], *′) to be a formally complex ring and this condition is weaker than * being the inverse involution on S. We illustrate this by an example.
