Abstract.A tuple (or subgroup) in a group is said to degenerate to another if the latter is an endomorphic image of the former. In a countable reduced abelian group, it is shown that if tuples (or finite subgroups) degenerate to each other, then they lie in the same automorphism orbit. The proof is based on techniques that were developed by Kaplansky and Mackey in order to give an elegant proof of Ulm's theorem. Similar results hold for reduced countably-generated torsion modules over principal ideal domains. It is shown that the depth and the description of atoms of the resulting poset of orbits of tuples depend only on the Ulm invariants of the module in question (and not on the underlying ring). A complete description of the poset of orbits of elements in terms of the Ulm invariants of the module is given. The relationship between this description of orbits and a very different-looking one obtained by Dutta and Prasad for torsion modules of bounded order is explained.

Free ideal rings (or firs, cf. [2, 3] and § 2 below) form a noncommutative analogue of principal ideal domains, to which they reduce in the commutative case, and in [3] a category TR of right R-modules was defined, over any fir R, which forms an analogue of finitely generated torsion modules. The category TR was shown to be abelian, and all its objects have finite composition length; more over, the corresponding category RT of left R-modules is dual to TR.

Let R be a right hereditary domain in which all right ideals are two-sided (i.e., R is right invariant). We show that R is the intersection of generalized discrete valuation rings and that every right ideal is the product of prime ideals. This class of rings seems comparable with (and contains) the class of commutative Dedekind domains, but the rings considered here are in general not maximal orders and not Dedekind rings in the terminology of Robson [9]. The left order of a right ideal of such a ring is a ring of the same kind and the class contains right principal ideal domains in which the maximal right ideals are two-sided [6].

The purpose of this paper is to characterize the radical ideals of principal ideal domains and Dedekind domains. We show that if T is a radical class and R is a PID, then T(R) is an intersection of prime ideals of R. More specifically, ifthen T(R) = (p1p2 … pk), where p1, p2, … , pk are distinct primes, and where (p1p2 … Pk) denotes the principal ideal of R generated by p1p2 … pk. We also characterize the radical ideals of commutative principal ideal rings. For radical ideals of Dedekind domains we obtain a characterization similar to the one given for PID's.

Let R ⊂ S be an extension of integral domains. We say that (R, S) is a well-centered pair of rings, if each intermediate ring T between R and S is well-centered on R, in the sense that each principal ideal of T is generated by an element of R. The aim of this paper is to study well-centered pairs of rings. We investigate the structure of the intermediate rings T between R and S that are well-centered on R. We establish the relationship between well-centered pairs and normal pairs. We present some examples and counterexamples illustrating our theory and showing the limits of our results.

AbstractSignature-based algorithms have become a standard approach for Gröbner basis computations for polynomial systems over fields, but how to extend these techniques to coefficients in general rings is not yet as well understood. In this paper, we present a proof-of-concept signature-based algorithm for computing Gröbner bases over commutative integral domains. It is adapted from a general version of Möller’s algorithm (J Symb Comput 6(2–3), 345–359, 1988) which considers reductions by multiple polynomials at each step. This algorithm performs reductions with non-decreasing signatures, and in particular, signature drops do not occur. When the coefficients are from a principal ideal domain (e.g. the ring of integers or the ring of univariate polynomials over a field), we prove correctness and termination of the algorithm, and we show how to use signature properties to implement classic signature-based criteria to eliminate some redundant reductions. In particular, if the input is a regular sequence, the algorithm operates without any reduction to 0. We have written a toy implementation of the algorithm in Magma. Early experimental results suggest that the algorithm might even be correct and terminate in a more general setting, for polynomials over a unique factorization domain (e.g. the ring of multivariate polynomials over a field or a PID).
