We prove that every infinite nilpotent ring R admits a ring topology T for which (R, T ) has an open totally bounded countable subring with trivial multiplication. A new example of a compact ring R for which R2 is not closed, is given. We prove that every compact Bezout domain is a principal ideal domain.

Abstract We describe the Ziegler spectrum of a Bézout domain B=D+XQ[X] where D is a principal ideal domain and Q is its field of fractions; in particular we compute the Cantor–Bendixson rank of this space. Using this, we prove the decidability of the theory of B-modules when D is “sufficiently” recursive.

If A is a complex Banach algebra which is also a Bezout domain, it is shown that for any prime p and a non-negative integer n, pn is not a topological divisor of zero. Using the above result it is shown that a complex Banach algebra which is a principal ideal domain is isomorphic to the complex field.

Let R be a principal ideal domain, i.e., a commutative ring without zero divisors in which every ideal is principal. The invariant factors of a matrix A with entries in R are the diagonal elements when A is converted to a diagonal form D = UAV, where U, V have entries in R and are unimodular (invertible over R), and the diagonal entries d1 …, dn of D form a divisibility chain: d1|d2| … |dn. Very little has been proved about how invariant factors may change when matrices are added. This is in contrast to the corresponding question for matrix multiplication, where much information is now available [6].

We establish the result that a finitely generated cyclic extension of a free group is residually finite. This is done, in part, by making use of the fact that a finitely generated module over a principal ideal domain is a direct sum of cyclic modules.

Throughout this paper g is a finite group and f is a complete local principal ideal domain of characteristic p where p divides |g|. The notations of [5] are adopted; moreover we shall denote the isomorphism-class of an f g-representation module ℳ by M, the class of ℳx by Mx and the class of ℳR by MR for suitable groups K and R.
