Our main goal in this paper is to set the general frame for studying the dimension theory of tensor products of algebras over an arbitrary ring [Formula: see text]. Actually, we translate the theory initiated by Grothendieck and Sharp and subsequently developed by Wadsworth on Krull dimension of tensor products of algebras over a field [Formula: see text] into the general setting of algebras over an arbitrary ring [Formula: see text]. For this sake, we introduce and study the notion of a fibered AF-ring over a ring [Formula: see text]. This concept extends naturally the notion of AF-ring over a field introduced by Wadsworth in [The Krull dimension of tensor products of commutative algebras over a field, J. London Math. Soc. 19 (1979) 391–401.] to algebras over arbitrary rings. We prove that Wadsworth theorems express local properties related to the fiber rings of tensor products of algebras over a ring. Also, given a triplet of rings [Formula: see text] consisting of two [Formula: see text]-algebras [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text], we introduce the inherent notion to [Formula: see text] of a [Formula: see text]-fibered AF-ring which allows to compute the Krull dimension of all fiber rings of the considered tensor product [Formula: see text]. As an application, we provide a formula for the Krull dimension of [Formula: see text] when either [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] is zero-dimensional as well as for the Krull dimension of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a fibered AF-ring over the ring of integers [Formula: see text] with nonzero characteristic and [Formula: see text] is an arbitrary ring. This enables us to answer a question of Jorge Martinez on evaluating the Krull dimension of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a Boolean ring. Actually, we prove that if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are rings such that [Formula: see text] is not trivial and [Formula: see text] is a Boolean ring, then dim[Formula: see text].

This paper is concerned with the study of the dimension theory of tensor products of algebras over a field k. We answer an open problem set in [6] and compute dim (A ⊗k B) when A is a k-algebra arising from a specific pullback construction involving AF-domains and B is an arbitrary k-algebra. On the other hand, we deal with the question (Q) set in [5] and show, in particular, that such a pullback A is in fact a generalized AF-domain.

AbstractEvery tropical ideal in the sense of Maclagan–Rincón has an associated tropical variety, a finite polyhedral complex equipped with positive integral weights on its maximal cells. This leads to the realisability question, ubiquitous in tropical geometry, of which weighted polyhedral complexes arise in this manner. Using work of Las Vergnas on the non-existence of tensor products of matroids, we prove that there is no tropical ideal whose variety is the Bergman fan of the direct sum of the Vámos matroid and the uniform matroid of rank two on three elements and in which all maximal cones have weight one.

Abstract Given Banach spaces X and Y, we ask about the dual space of the 𝒧(X, Y). This paper surveys results on tensor products of Banach spaces with the main objective of describing the dual of spaces of bounded operators. In several cases and under a variety of assumptions on X and Y, the answer can best be given as the projective tensor product of X ** and Y *.

Abstract Galego and Samuel showed that if K, L are metrizable, compact, Hausdorff spaces, then $C(K)\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(L)$ is c0-saturated if and only if it is subprojective if and only if K and L are both scattered. We remove the hypothesis of metrizability from their result and extend it from the case of the twofold projective tensor product to the general n-fold projective tensor product to show that for any $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and compact, Hausdorff spaces K1, …, K n , $\widehat{\otimes}_{\pi, i=1}^n C(K_i)$ is c0-saturated if and only if it is subprojective if and only if each K i is scattered.
