AbstractLet P be a prime ideal of a ring R, O(P) = {a ∊ R | aRs = 0, for some s ∊ R/P} | and Ō(P) = {x ∊ R | xn ∊ O(P), for some positive integer n}. Several authors have obtained sheaf representations of rings whose stalks are of the form R/O(P). Also in a commutative ring a minimal prime ideal has been characterized as a prime ideal P such that P= Ō(P). In this paper we derive various conditions which ensure that a prime ideal P = Ō(P). The property that P = Ō(P) is then used to obtain conditions which determine when R/O(P) has a unique minimal prime ideal. Various generalizations of O(P) and Ō(P) are considered. Examples are provided to illustrate and delimit our results.

We assume that the reader is familiar with the program of “reverse mathematics” and the development of countable algebra in subsystems of second order arithmetic. The subsystems we are using in this paper are RCA0, WKL0 and ACA0. (The reader who wants to learn about them should study [1].) In [1] it was shown that the statement “Every countable commutative ring has a prime ideal” is equivalent to Weak Konig's Lemma over RCA0, while the statement “Every countable commutative ring has a maximal ideal” is equivalent to Arithmetic Comprehension over RCA0. Our main result in this paper is that the statement “Every countable commutative ring has a minimal prime ideal” is equivalent to Arithmetic Comprehension over RCA0. Minimal prime ideals play an important role in the study of countable commutative rings; see [2, pp. 1–7].

Let [Formula: see text] be a group with identity [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be [Formula: see text]-graded commutative ring with [Formula: see text] In this paper, we introduce and study the graded versions of 1-absorbing prime ideal. We give some properties and characterizations of these ideals in graded ring, and we give a characterization of graded 1-absorbing ideal the idealization [Formula: see text]

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring with [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be a positive integer. A proper ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called an n-absorbing ideal (respectively, a strongly n-absorbing ideal) of [Formula: see text] as in [D. F. Anderson and A. Badawi, On [Formula: see text]-absorbing ideals of commutative rings, Comm. Algebra 39 (2011) 1646–1672] if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], then there are [Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text]’s whose product is in [Formula: see text] (respectively, if whenever [Formula: see text] for ideals [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], then the product of some [Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text]s is contained in [Formula: see text]). The concept of [Formula: see text]-absorbing ideals is a generalization of the concept of prime ideals (note that a prime ideal of [Formula: see text] is a 1-absorbing ideal of [Formula: see text]). Let [Formula: see text] be a ring homomorphism and let [Formula: see text] be an ideal of [Formula: see text] This paper investigates the [Formula: see text]-absorbing and strongly [Formula: see text]-absorbing ideals in the amalgamation of [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] along [Formula: see text] with respect [Formula: see text] denoted by [Formula: see text] The obtained results generate new original classes of [Formula: see text]-absorbing and strongly [Formula: see text]-absorbing ideals.

AbstractIt is well-known that in any near-ring, any intersection of prime ideals is a semi-prime ideal. The aim of this note is to prove that any ideal is a prime ideal if and only if it is equal to its prime radical. As a consequence of this we have any semi-prime ideal I in a near-ring N is the intersection of minimal prime ideals of I in N and that I is the intersection of all prime ideals containing I.

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring with [Formula: see text]. Recall that a proper ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called a 2-absorbing ideal of [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. A more general concept than 2-absorbing ideals is the concept of [Formula: see text]-absorbing ideals. Let [Formula: see text] be a positive integer. A proper ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called an n-absorbing ideal of [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], then there are [Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text]’s whose product is in [Formula: see text]. The concept of [Formula: see text]-absorbing ideals is a generalization of the concept of prime ideals (note that a prime ideal of [Formula: see text] is a 1-absorbing ideal of [Formula: see text]). Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be integers with [Formula: see text]. A proper ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called an [Formula: see text]-closed ideal of [Formula: see text] if whenever [Formula: see text] for some [Formula: see text] implies [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be an [Formula: see text]-module. In this paper, we study [Formula: see text]-absorbing ideals and [Formula: see text]-closed ideals in the trivial ring extension of [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text] (or idealization of [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text]) that is denoted by [Formula: see text].

We call a topological space X minspectral if it is homeomorphic to the space of minimal prime ideals of a commutative ring A in the usual (hull-kernel or Zariski) topology (see [2, p. 111]). Note that if A has an identity, is a subspace of Spec A (as defined in [1, p. 124]). It is well known that a minspectral space is Hausdorff and has a clopen basis (and hence is completely regular). We give here a topological characterization of the minspectral spaces, and we show that all minspectral spaces can actually be obtained from rings with identity and that open (but not closed) subspaces of minspectral spaces are minspectral (Theorem 1, Proposition 5).

A convex subnearlattice of a nearlattice S containing a fixed element n?S is called an n-ideal. The n-ideal generated by a single element is called a principal n-ideal. The set of finitely generated principal n-ideals is denoted by Pn(S), which is a nearlattice. A distributive nearlattice S with 0 is called m-normal if its every prime ideal contains at most m number of minimal prime ideals. In this paper, we include several characterizations of those Pn(S) which form m-normal nearlattices. We also show that Pn(S) is m-normal if and only if for any m+1 distinct minimal prime n-ideals Po,P1,…., Pm of S, Po ? … ? Pm = S.

AbstractIf n and m are positive integers, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a finite commutative ring R with exactly n elements and exactly m prime ideals. Next, assuming the Axiom of Choice, it is proved that if R is a commutative ring and T is a commutative R-algebra which is generated by a set I, then each chain of prime ideals of T lying over the same prime ideal of R has at most 2|I| elements. A polynomial ring example shows that the preceding result is best-possible.

Let R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity and let K be the total quotient ring of R. We call R a G-ring if K is finitely generated as a ring over R. This generalizes Kaplansky′s definition of G-domain [5].Let Z(R) be the set of zero divisors in R. Following [7] elements of R—Z(R) and ideals of R containing at least one such element are called regular. Artin-Tate's characterization of Noetherian G-domains [1, Theorem 4] carries over with a slight adjustment to characterize a Noetherian G-ring as being semi-local in which every regular prime ideal has rank one.
