We give a procedure and describe an algorithm to compute the dimension of a module over Laurent polynomial ring. We prove the cancellation theorems for projective modules and also prove the qualitative version of Laurent polynomial analogue of Horrocks' Theorem.

In this paper, we will survey recent results on weakly factorial domains base on the results of [11, 13, 14]. LetD be an integral domain, X be an indeterminate over D, d ∈ D, R = D[X,d/X] be a subring of the Laurent polynomial ring D[X,1/X], Γ be a nonzero torsionless commutative cancellative monoid with quotient group G, and D[Γ] be the semigroup ring of Γ over D. Among other things, we show that R is a weakly factorial domain if and only if D is a weakly factorial GCD‐domain and d = 0, d is a unit of D or d is a prime element of D. We also show that if char(D) = 0 (resp., char(D) = p > 0), then D[Γ] is a weakly factorial domain if and only if D is a weakly factorial GCD domain, Γ is a weakly factorial GCD semigroup, and G is of type (0,0,0,…) (resp., (0,0,0,…) except p).

Special Case

We extend the notion of link colorings with values in an Alexander quandle to link colorings with values in a module [Formula: see text] over the Laurent polynomial ring [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] is a diagram of a link [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] components, then the colorings of [Formula: see text] with values in [Formula: see text] form a [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text]. Extending a result of Inoue [Knot quandles and infinite cyclic covering spaces, Kodai Math. J. 33 (2010) 116–122], we show that [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to the module of [Formula: see text]-linear maps from the Alexander module of [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text]. In particular, suppose [Formula: see text] is a field and [Formula: see text] is a homomorphism of rings with unity. Then [Formula: see text] defines a [Formula: see text]-module structure on [Formula: see text], which we denote [Formula: see text]. We show that the dimension of [Formula: see text] as a vector space over [Formula: see text] is determined by the images under [Formula: see text] of the elementary ideals of [Formula: see text]. This result applies in the special case of Fox tricolorings, which correspond to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Examples show that even in this special case, the higher Alexander polynomials do not suffice to determine [Formula: see text]; this observation corrects erroneous statements of Inoue [Quandle homomorphisms of knot quandles to Alexander quandles, J. Knot Theory Ramifications 10 (2001) 813–821; op. cit.].

We study the effects of certain local moves on Homflyptand Kauffman polynomials. We show that all Homflypt(or Kauffman) polynomials are equal in a certain nontrivial quotient of the Laurent polynomial ring. As a consequence, we discover some new properties of these invariants.

Let C be a bounded cochain complex of finitely generated free modules over the Laurent polynomial ring L = R[x, x-1, y, y-1]. The complex C is called R-finitely dominated if it is homotopy equivalent over R to a bounded complex of finitely generated projective R-modules. Our main result characterizes R-finitely dominated complexes in terms of Novikov cohomology: C is R-finitely dominated if and only if eight complexes derived from C are acyclic; these complexes are C ⊗L R〚x, y〛[(xy)-1] and C ⊗L R[x, x-1]〚y〛[y-1], and their variants obtained by swapping x and y, and replacing either indeterminate by its inverse.

AbstractSuppose C is a bounded chain complex of finitely generated free modules over the Laurent polynomial ring L = R[x,x−1]. Then C is R-finitely dominated, i.e. homotopy equivalent over R to a bounded chain complex of finitely generated projective R-modules if and only if the two chain complexes C ⊗LR((x)) and C ⊗LR((x−1)) are acyclic, as has been proved by Ranicki (A. Ranicki, Finite domination and Novikov rings, Topology34(3) (1995), 619–632). Here R((x)) = R[[x]][x−1] and R((x−1)) = R[[x−1]][x] are rings of the formal Laurent series, also known as Novikov rings. In this paper, we prove a generalisation of this criterion which allows us to detect finite domination of bounded below chain complexes of projective modules over Laurent rings in several indeterminates.

AbstractA representation of the central extension of the unitary Lie algebra coordinated with a skew Laurent polynomial ring is constructed using vertex operators over an integral ℤ2–lattice. The irreducible decomposition of the representation is explicitly computed and described. As a by–product, some fundamental representations of affine Kac–Moody Lie algebra of type A(2)n are recovered by the new method.

Let K be a ribbon 2-knot. We show that for any ideal J of the Laurent polynomial ring Λ, if Alexander polynomail of K is trivial, i.e., ΔK(t) = 1, then all colorings of K on Λ/J are trivial.
