We present several naturally occurring classes of spectral spaces using commutative algebra on pointed monoids. For this purpose, our main tools are finite type closure operations and continuous valuations on monoids which we introduce in this work. In the process, we make a detailed study of different closure operations on monoids. We prove that the collection of continuous valuations on a topological monoid with topology determined by any finitely generated ideal is a spectral space.

AbstractThe standard topological representation of a Boolean algebra via the clopen sets of a Stone space requires a nonconstructive choice principle, equivalent to the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem. In this article, we describe a choice-free topological representation of Boolean algebras. This representation uses a subclass of the spectral spaces that Stone used in his representation of distributive lattices via compact open sets. It also takes advantage of Tarski’s observation that the regular open sets of any topological space form a Boolean algebra. We prove without choice principles that any Boolean algebra arises from a special spectral space X via the compact regular open sets of X; these sets may also be described as those that are both compact open in X and regular open in the upset topology of the specialization order of X, allowing one to apply to an arbitrary Boolean algebra simple reasoning about regular opens of a separative poset. Our representation is therefore a mix of Stone and Tarski, with the two connected by Vietoris: the relevant spectral spaces also arise as the hyperspace of nonempty closed sets of a Stone space endowed with the upper Vietoris topology. This connection makes clear the relation between our point-set topological approach to choice-free Stone duality, which may be called the hyperspace approach, and a point-free approach to choice-free Stone duality using Stone locales. Unlike Stone’s representation of Boolean algebras via Stone spaces, our choice-free topological representation of Boolean algebras does not show that every Boolean algebra can be represented as a field of sets; but like Stone’s representation, it provides the benefit of a topological perspective on Boolean algebras, only now without choice. In addition to representation, we establish a choice-free dual equivalence between the category of Boolean algebras with Boolean homomorphisms and a subcategory of the category of spectral spaces with spectral maps. We show how this duality can be used to prove some basic facts about Boolean algebras.

Recently Ohtsuki [Oh2], motivated by the notion of finite type knot invariants, introduced the notion of finite type invariants for oriented, integral homology 3-spheres. In the present paper we propose another definition of finite type invariants of integral homology 3-spheres and give equivalent reformulations of our notion. We show that our invariants form a filtered commutative algebra. We compare the two induced filtrations on the vector space on the set of integral homology 3-spheres. As an observation, we discover a new set of restrictions that finite type invariants in the sense of Ohtsuki satisfy and give a set of axioms that characterize the Casson invariant. Finally, we pose a set of questions relating the finite type 3-manifold invariants with the (Vassiliev) knot invariants.

Let A be a finitely generated commutative algebra over a field K with a presentation A = K 〈X1,…, Xn | R〉, where R is a set of monomial relations in the generators X1,…, Xn. So A = K[S], the semigroup algebra of the monoid S = 〈X1,…, Xn | R〉. We characterize, purely in terms of the defining relations, when A is an integrally closed domain, provided R contains at most two relations. Also the class group of such algebras A is calculated.

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be two rings, [Formula: see text] an ideal of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be a ring homomorphism. The ring [Formula: see text] is called the amalgamation of [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] along [Formula: see text] with respect to [Formula: see text]. It was proposed by D’anna and Fontana [Amalgamated algebras along an ideal, Commutative Algebra and Applications (W. de Gruyter Publisher, Berlin, 2009), pp. 155–172], as an extension for the Nagata’s idealization, which was originally introduced in [Nagata, Local Rings (Interscience, New York, 1962)]. In this paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which [Formula: see text], and some related constructions, is either a Hilbert ring, a [Formula: see text]-domain or a [Formula: see text]-ring in the sense of Adams [Rings with a finitely generated total quotient ring, Canad. Math. Bull. 17(1) (1974)]. By the way, we investigate the transfer of the [Formula: see text]-property among pairs of domains sharing an ideal. Our results provide original illustrating examples.

AbstractLet ƒ = {In}n ≽ 0 be a filtration on a ring R, let(In)w = {x ε R; x satisfies an equation xk + i1xk − 1 + … + ik = 0, where ij ε Inj} be the weak integral closure of In and let ƒw = {(In)w}n ≽ 0. Then it is shown that ƒ ↦ ƒw is a closure operation on the set of all filtrations ƒ of R, and if R is Noetherian, then ƒw is a semi-prime operation that satisfies the cancellation law: if ƒh ≤ (gh)w and Rad (ƒ) ⊆ Rad (h), then ƒw ≤ gw. These results are then used to show that if R and ƒ are Noetherian, then the sets Ass (R/(In)w) are equal for all large n. Then these results are abstracted, and it is shown that if I ↦ Ix is a closure (resp.. semi-prime, prime) operation on the set of ideals I of R, then ƒ ↦ ƒx = {(In)x}n ≤ 0 is a closure (resp., semi-prime, prime) operation on the set of filtrations ƒ of R. In particular, if Δ is a multiplicatively closed set of finitely generated non-zero ideals of R and (In)Δ = ∪KεΔ(In, K: K), then ƒ ↦ ƒΔ is a semi-prime operation that satisfies a cancellation law, and if R and ƒ are Noetherian, then the sets Ass (R/(In)Δ) are quite well behaved.

AbstractLet A be a C*-algebra and let ΘA be the canonical contraction form the Haagerup tensor product of M(A) with itself to the space of completely bounded maps on A. In this paper we consider the following conditions on A: (a) A is a finitely generated module over the centre of M(A); (b) the image of ΘA is equal to the set E(A) of all elementary operators on A; and (c) the lengths of elementary operators on A are uniformly bounded. We show that A satisfies (a) if and only if it is a finite direct sum of unital homogeneous C*-algebras. We also show that if a separable A satisfies (b) or (c), then A is necessarily subhomogeneous and the C*-bundles corresponding to the homogeneous subquotients of A must be of finite type.

The local cohomology theory plays an important role in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. The I-cofiniteness of local cohomology modules is one of interesting properties which has been studied by many mathematicians. The I-cominimax modules is an extension of I-cofinite modules which was introduced by Hartshorne. An R-module M is I-cominimax if Supp_R(M)\subseteq V(I) and Ext^i_R(R/I,M) is minimax for all  i\ge 0. In this paper, we show some conditions such that the generalized local cohomology module H^i_I(M,N) is I-cominimax for all i\ge 0. We show that if H^i_I(M,K) is I-cofinite for all i<t and all finitely generated R-module K, then  H^i_I(M,N) is I-cominimax for all i<t  and all minimax R-module N.  If M is a finitely generated R-module, N is a minimax R-module and t is a non-negative integer such that  dim Supp_R(H^i_I(M,N))\le 1 for all i<t then H^i_I(M,N) is I-cominimax for all  i<t. When  dim R/I\le 1 and H^i_I(N) is I-cominimax for all  i\ge 0 then H^i_I(M,N) is I-cominimax for all i\ge 0.

Let [Formula: see text] be the fundamental group of a surface of finite type and [Formula: see text] be its abstract commensurator. Then [Formula: see text] contains the solvable Baumslag–Solitar groups [Formula: see text] for any [Formula: see text]. Moreover, the Baumslag–Solitar group [Formula: see text] has an image in [Formula: see text] that is not residually finite. Our proofs are computer-assisted. Our results also illustrate that finitely-generated subgroups of [Formula: see text] are concrete objects amenable to computational methods. For example, we give a proof that [Formula: see text] is not residually finite without the use of normal forms of HNN extensions.
