Żywioły antysemityzmu i dialektyka ksenofobii

In this paper, i analyse the components that make up the concept of so-called elements of anti-Semitismas presented by Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer. According to their multi-factorial analysis ofthe sources behind the development of anti-Semitism in the 20th century, we can distinguish four basicdimensions thereof: socio-economic, religious, ideological and ethical-moral. After a brief characterisationof each of the elements of anti-Semitism, i then juxtapose them with the phenomenon of contemporaryIslamophobia in order to attempt to prove that the concept of the authors of the Frankfurt School hasa broader and non-uniform dimension; it can be treated as a philosophical-critical foundation for theoreticalresearch in the field of contemporary xenophobias and its sources.

On C-co-epi-retractable Modules

In this paper, we introduce the notion of c-co-epi-retractable modules. An R-module M is called c-co-epi-retractable if it contains a copy of its factor module by a complement submodule. The ring R is called c-co-pri if RR is c-co-epi-retractable. Conditions are found under which, a c-coepi-retractable module is extending, retractable, semi-simple, quasi-injective, injective and simple. Also, we investigate when c-co-epi-retractable modules have finite uniform dimension. Finally, right SI-rings, semi-simple artinian rings and quasi-Frobenius rings are characterized in termes of c-co-epi-retractable modules.

On commutative rings with uniserial dimension

In this paper, we define and study a valuation dimension for commutative rings. The valuation dimension is a measure of how far a commutative ring deviates from being valuation. It is shown that a ring R with valuation dimension has finite uniform dimension. We prove that a ring R is Noetherian (respectively, Artinian) if and only if the ring R × R has (respectively, finite) valuation dimension if and only if R has (respectively, finite) valuation dimension and all cyclic uniserial modules are Noetherian (respectively, Artinian). We show that the class of all rings of finite valuation dimension strictly lies between the class of Artinian rings and the class of semi-perfect rings.

ESSENTIAL AND RETRACTABLE GALOIS CONNECTIONS

For bounded lattices, we introduce certain Galois connections, called (cyclically) essential, retractable and UC Galois connections, which behave well with respect to concepts of module-theoretic nature involving essentiality. We show that essential retractable Galois connections preserve uniform dimension, whereas essential retractable UC Galois connections induce a bijective correspondence between sets of closed elements. Our results are applied to suitable Galois connections between submodule lattices. Cyclically essential Galois connections unify semi-projective and semi-injective modules, while retractable Galois connections unify retractable and coretractable modules.

DIMENSION MODULES AND MODULAR LATTICES

A module M is called a dimension module if the Goldie (uniform) dimension satisfies the formula u(A + B) + u(A ∩ B) = u(A) + u(B) for arbitrary submodules A, B of M. Dimension modules and related notions were studied by several authors. In this paper, we study them in a more general context of modular lattices with 0 to which the notion of dimension modules can be extended in an obvious way. Some constructions available in the lattice theory framework make it possible to identify several new aspects concerning the nature of dimension lattices and modules as well as to describe a number of related properties. In particular we find a lattice which can be used to test whether a given lattice or a module satisfies the studied properties. Most of the results are obtained for lattices and then they are applied to modules. However the examples are given, when possible, in the more restrictive case of modules.
