A matrix method is presented for the calculation of bar forces in a single layer lattice cylinder composed of regular ring polygons and symmetrically arranged bracing bars. Substantial differences occur between the stress distribution in the lattice structure and that of the membrane cylinder under the same load. Therefore, a membrane cylinder cannot be considered as a replacement continuum for the lattice construction. The purpose of the paper is to draw attention to the danger in the utilisation, without due caution, of this analogy.

Let M be a Verma module over the Lie algebra, sl 2(k), of trace zero 2 × 2 matrices over the algebraically closed field k. We show that the ring, RM, of definable scalars of M is a von Neumann regular ring and that the canonical map from U( sl 2(k)) to RM is an epimorphism of rings. We also describe the Ziegler closure of M. The proofs make use of ideas from the model theory of modules.

Let [Formula: see text] denote the group whose Cayley graph with respect to a particular generating set is the Diestel–Leader graph [Formula: see text], as described by Bartholdi, Neuhauser and Woess. We compute both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], and apply our results to count twisted conjugacy classes in these groups when [Formula: see text]. Specifically, we show that when [Formula: see text], the groups [Formula: see text] have property [Formula: see text], that is, every automorphism has an infinite number of twisted conjugacy classes. In contrast, when [Formula: see text] the lamplighter groups [Formula: see text] have property [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text].

Let R be a commutative von Neumann regular ring. We show that every finitely generated ideal I in the ring of polynomials R[X] has a strong Gr?bner basis. We prove this result using only the defining property of a von Neumann regular ring.

Antoine studied conditions which are connected to the question of Amitsur of whether or not a polynomial ring over a nil ring is nil, observing the structure of nilpotent elements in Armendariz rings and introducing the notion of nil-Armendariz rings. The class of nil-Armendariz rings contains Armendariz rings and NI rings. We continue the study of nil-Armendariz rings, concentrating on the structure of rings over which coefficients of nilpotent polynomials are nilpotent. In the procedure we introduce the notion of CN-rings that is a generalization of nil-Armendariz rings. We first construct a CN-ring but not nil-Armendariz. This may be a base on which Antoine's theory can be applied and elaborated. We investigate basic ring theoretic properties of CN-rings, and observe various kinds of CN-rings including ordinary ring extensions. It is shown that a ring R is CN if and only if R is nil-Armendariz if and only if R is Armendariz if and only if R is reduced when R is a von Neumann regular ring.

Factor-correspondences are nothing more than a way of describing isomorphisms between principal ideals in a regular ring. However, due to a remarkable decomposition theorem of M. J. Wonenburger [7, Lemma 1], they have proved to be a highly effective tool in the study of completeness properties in matrix rings over regular rings [7, Theorem 1]. Factor-correspondences also figure in the proof of D. Handelman's theorem that an ℵ0-continuous regular ring is unitregular [4, Theorem 3.2].The aim of the present article is to sharpen the main result in [7] and to re-examine its applications to matrix rings. The basic properties of factor-correspondences are reviewed briefly for the reader's convenience.Throughout, R denotes a regular ring (with unity).Definition 1 (cf. [5, p. 209ff], [7, p. 212]). A right factor-correspondence in R is a right R-isomorphism φ : J → K, where J and K are principal right ideals of R (left factor-correspondences are defined dually).
