For a class [Formula: see text] of algebras, denote by Conc[Formula: see text] the class of all (∨, 0)-semilattices isomorphic to the semilattice ConcA of all compact congruences of A, for some A in [Formula: see text]. For classes [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of algebras, we denote by [Formula: see text] the smallest cardinality of a (∨, 0)-semilattices in Conc[Formula: see text] which is not in Conc[Formula: see text] if it exists, ∞ otherwise. We prove a general theorem, with categorical flavor, that implies that for all finitely generated congruence-distributive varieties [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is either finite, or ℵn for some natural number n, or ∞. We also find two finitely generated modular lattice varieties [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text], thus answering a question by J. Tůma and F. Wehrung.

We study the class of finite lattices that are isomorphic to the congruence lattices of algebras from a given finitely generated congruence-distributive variety. If this class is as large as allowed by an obvious necessary condition, the variety is called congruence FD-maximal. The main results of this paper characterize some special congruence FD-maximal varieties.

AbstractWe provide a Maltsev characterization of congruence distributive varieties by showing that a variety 𝓥 is congruence distributive if and only if the congruence identity … (k factors) holds in 𝓥, for some natural number k.

Throughout this paper all rings considered will be commutative, noetherian with identity. If R is such a ring and M is a finitely generated R-module, we shall use v(M) to denote that non-negative integer with the property that M can be generated by v(M) elements but not by fewer.Since every ideal in a noetherian ring is finitely generated, it is a natural question to ask what v(I) is for a given ideal I. Hilbert's Nullstellensatz may be viewed as the first general theorem dealing with this question, answering it when I is a maximal ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field.More recently, it has been noticed that the properties of an R-ideal I are intertwined with those of the R-module I/I2.

Abstract It is shown that for any local strongly $F$-regular ring there exists natural number $e_0$ so that if $M$ is any finitely generated maximal Cohen–Macaulay module, then the pushforward of $M$ under the $e_0$th iterate of the Frobenius endomorphism contains a free summand. Consequently, the torsion subgroup of the divisor class group of a local strongly $F$-regular ring is finite.

Let D be a division ring and N be a subnormal subgroup of D*. In this paper we prove that if M is a nilpotent maximal subgroup of N, then M′ is abelian. If, furthermore every element of M is algebraic over Z(D) and M′ ⊈ F* or M/Z(M) or M′ is finitely generated, then M is abelian. The second main result of this paper concerns the subgroups of matrix groups; assume D is a noncommutative division ring, n is a natural number, N is a subnormal subgroup of GLn(D), and M is a maximal subgroup of N. We show that if M is locally finite over Z(D)*, then M is either absolutely irreducible or abelian.

Not every element in a lattice has a complement. In this paper we introduce a notion of ranked complement, which depends on a natural number [Formula: see text], so that for every element [Formula: see text] in a lattice with finite height there exists [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] has a complement of rank [Formula: see text]. One of the main results we establish is that in a modular lattice having finite height, every element has a complement of rank less than [Formula: see text] if and only if there is a chain [Formula: see text] of elements such that each interval [Formula: see text] is a complemented lattice.

Throughout this note, let R be a (commutative integral) domain with quotient field K. A domain S satisfying R ⊆ S ⊆ K is called an overring of R, and by dimension of a ring we mean Krull dimension. Recall [1] that a commutative ring is said to be coherent if each finitely generated ideal is finitely presented.In [2], as a corollary of a more general theorem, Davis showed that if each overring of a domain R is Noetherian, then the dimension of R is at most 1. (This corollary is the converse of a version of the Krull-Akizuki Theorem [5, Theorem 93], and can also be proved directly by using the existence of valuation rings dominating finite chains of prime ideals [4, Corollary 16.6].) It is our purpose to prove that if R is Noetherian and each overring of R is coherent, then the dimension of £ is at most 1. We shall also indicate some related questions and examples.

We consider the problem, whether the algebras in two finitely generated congruence-distributive varieties have isomorphic congruence lattices. According to the results of P. Gillibert, this problem is closely connected with the question, which diagrams of finite distributive semilattices can be represented by the congruence lattices of algebras in a given variety. We study this question for varieties of bounded lattices, generated by different nondistributive lattices of length 2 (denoted Mn). For each pair from this family of varieties we construct a diagram indexed by the product of three finite chains, which is liftable in one variety and nonliftable in the other one. We also discover an interesting link to the four-color theorem of graph theory.
