Modules with annihilation property

Let [Formula: see text] be an associative ring with identity. A right [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text] is said to have Property ([Formula: see text]), if each finitely generated ideal [Formula: see text] has a nonzero annihilator in [Formula: see text]. Evans [Zero divisors in Noetherian-like rings, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 155(2) (1971) 505–512.] proved that, over a commutative ring, zero-divisor modules have Property ([Formula: see text]). We study and construct various classes of modules with Property ([Formula: see text]). Following Anderson and Chun [McCoy modules and related modules over commutative rings, Comm. Algebra 45(6) (2017) 2593–2601.], we introduce [Formula: see text]-dual McCoy modules and show that, for every strictly totally ordered monoid [Formula: see text], faithful symmetric modules are [Formula: see text]-dual McCoy. We then use this notion to give a characterization for modules with Property ([Formula: see text]). For a faithful symmetric right [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text] and a strictly totally ordered monoid [Formula: see text], it is proved that the right [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text] is primal if and only if [Formula: see text] is primal with Property ([Formula: see text]).

Attached prime ideals of generalized inverse polynomial modules

Let [Formula: see text] be a ring, [Formula: see text] a strictly totally ordered monoid which is also artinian and [Formula: see text] a monoid homomorphism. Given a right [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text], denote by [Formula: see text] the generalized inverse polynomial module over the skew generalized power series ring [Formula: see text]. It is shown in this paper that if [Formula: see text] is a completely [Formula: see text]-compatible module and [Formula: see text] an attached prime ideal of [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is an attached prime ideal of [Formula: see text], and that if [Formula: see text] is a completely [Formula: see text]-compatible Bass module, then every attached prime ideal of [Formula: see text] can be written as the form of [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is an attached prime ideal of [Formula: see text].

On semilocal, Bézout and distributive generalized power series rings

Let R be a ring, and let S be a strictly ordered monoid. The generalized power series ring R[[S]] is a common generalization of polynomial rings, Laurent polynomial rings, power series rings, Laurent series rings, Mal'cev–Neumann series rings, monoid rings and group rings. In this paper, we examine which conditions on R and S are necessary and which are sufficient for the generalized power series ring R[[S]] to be semilocal right Bézout or semilocal right distributive. In the case where S is a strictly totally ordered monoid we characterize generalized power series rings R[[S]] that are semilocal right distributive or semilocal right Bézout (the latter under the additional assumption that S is not a group).

GENERALISED ARMENDARIZ PROPERTIES OF CROSSED PRODUCT TYPE

Let R be a ring and M a monoid with twisting f:M × M → U(R) and action ω: M→ Aut(R). We introduce and study the concepts of CM-Armendariz and CM-quasi-Armendariz rings to generalise various Armendariz and quasi-Armendariz properties of rings by working on the context of the crossed product R*M over R. The following results are proved: (1) If M is a u.p.-monoid, then any M-rigid ring R is CM-Armendariz; (2) if I is a reduced ideal of an M-compatible ring R with M a strictly totally ordered monoid, then R/I being CM-Armendariz implies that R is CM-Armendariz; (3) if M is a u.p.-monoid and R is a semiprime ring, then R is CM-quasi-Armendariz. These results generalise and unify many known results on this subject.

Extensions of zip rings

A ring R is called right zip provided that if the right annihilator rR(X) of a subset X of R is zero, then there exists a finite subset Y of X, such that rR(Y) = 0. Faith [6] raised the following questions: When does R being a right zip ring imply R[x] being right zip?; When does R being a right zip imply R[G] being right zip when G is a finite group?; Characterize a ring R such that Matn(R) is right zip. In this note we continue the study of the extensions of non-commutative zip rings based on Faith’s questions. It is shown that if R is a right McCoy ring, then R is right zip if and only if R[x] is a right zip ring. Also, if M is a strictly totally ordered monoid and R a right duo ring or a reversible ring, then R is right zip if and only if R[M] is right zip. As a consequence we obtain a generalization of [7].
