The strong nil-cleanness of semigroup rings

In this paper, we study the strong nil-cleanness of certain classes of semigroup rings. For a completely 0-simple semigroup M={ {\mathcal M} }^{0}(G;I,\text{Λ};P) , we show that the contracted semigroup ring {R}_{0}{[}M] is strongly nil-clean if and only if either |I|=1 or |\text{Λ}|=1 , and R{[}G] is strongly nil-clean; as a corollary, we characterize the strong nil-cleanness of locally inverse semigroup rings. Moreover, let S={[}Y;{S}_{\alpha },{\varphi }_{\alpha ,\beta }] be a strong semilattice of semigroups, then we prove that R{[}S] is strongly nil-clean if and only if R{[}{S}_{\alpha }] is strongly nil-clean for each \alpha \in Y .

When Are Graded Rings Graded S-Noetherian Rings

Let Γ be a commutative monoid, R=⨁α∈ΓRα a Γ-graded ring and S a multiplicative subset of R0. We define R to be a graded S-Noetherian ring if every homogeneous ideal of R is S-finite. In this paper, we characterize when the ring R is a graded S-Noetherian ring. As a special case, we also determine when the semigroup ring is a graded S-Noetherian ring. Finally, we give an example of a graded S-Noetherian ring which is not an S-Noetherian ring.

Some Factorization Properties in A + B[Γ∗] Domains

Let A ⊆ B be an extension of integral domains and Γ a commutative, additive, cancellative, torsion-free monoid with Γ ∩ −Γ = {0}. Let B[Γ] be the semigroup ring of Γ over B and set Γ∗ = Γ\{0}. Then R = A + B[Γ∗] is a subring of B[Γ]. We investigate various factorization properties which are weaker than unique factorization in the domains of the form A + B[Γ∗].

Étale groupoid algebras with coefficients in a sheaf and skew inverse semigroup rings

Given an action ${\varphi }$ of inverse semigroup S on a ring A (with domain of ${\varphi }(s)$ denoted by $D_{s^*}$ ), we show that if the ideals $D_e$ , with e an idempotent, are unital, then the skew inverse semigroup ring $A\rtimes S$ can be realized as the convolution algebra of an ample groupoid with coefficients in a sheaf of (unital) rings. Conversely, we show that the convolution algebra of an ample groupoid with coefficients in a sheaf of rings is isomorphic to a skew inverse semigroup ring of this sort. We recover known results in the literature for Steinberg algebras over a field as special cases.

Hausdorff series in a semigroup ring

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be the semigroup rings spanned on the right zero semigroup [Formula: see text], and on the left zero semigroup [Formula: see text], respectively, together with the identity element [Formula: see text]. We suggest a closed formula solving the equation [Formula: see text] which is the evolution of the Campbell–Baker–Hausdorff formula given by the Hausdorff series [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], in the algebras [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

Simplicity of skew inverse semigroup rings with applications to Steinberg algebras and topological dynamics

Given a partial action π of an inverse semigroup S on a ring {\mathcal{A}} , one may construct its associated skew inverse semigroup ring {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} . Our main result asserts that, when {\mathcal{A}} is commutative, the ring {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} is simple if, and only if, {\mathcal{A}} is a maximal commutative subring of {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} and {\mathcal{A}} is S-simple. We apply this result in the context of topological inverse semigroup actions to connect simplicity of the associated skew inverse semigroup ring with topological properties of the action. Furthermore, we use our result to present a new proof of the simplicity criterion for a Steinberg algebra {A_{R}(\mathcal{G})} associated with a Hausdorff and ample groupoid {\mathcal{G}} .

Semigroup rings as weakly factorial domains, II

Let [Formula: see text] be an integral domain, [Formula: see text] be a nonzero torsionless commutative cancellative monoid with quotient group [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] be the semigroup ring of [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text]. In this paper, among other things, we show that if [Formula: see text] (respectively, [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is a weakly factorial domain if and only if [Formula: see text] is a weakly factorial GCD-domain, [Formula: see text] is a weakly factorial GCD-semigroup, and [Formula: see text] is of type [Formula: see text] (respectively, [Formula: see text] except [Formula: see text]).

Computing the invariants of intersection algebras of principal monomial ideals

We continue the study of intersection algebras [Formula: see text] of two ideals [Formula: see text] in a commutative Noetherian ring [Formula: see text]. In particular, we exploit the semigroup ring and toric structures in order to calculate various invariants of the intersection algebra when [Formula: see text] is a polynomial ring over a field and [Formula: see text] are principal monomial ideals. Specifically, we calculate the [Formula: see text]-signature, divisor class group, and Hilbert–Samuel and Hilbert–Kunz multiplicities, sometimes restricting to certain cases in order to obtain explicit formulæ. This provides a new class of rings where formulæ for the [Formula: see text]-signature and Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity, dependent on families of parameters, are provided.
