Relative determinant of a bilinear module
Journal Title: Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications - Year 2014, Vol 34, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of the paper is to generalize the (ultra-classical) notion of the determinant of a bilinear form to the class of bilinear forms on projective modules without assuming that the determinant bundle of the module is free. Successively it is proved that this new definition preserves the basic properties, one expects from the determinant. As an example application, it is shown that the introduced tools can be used to significantly simplify the proof of a recent result by B. Rothkegel. Keywords: determinant, bilinear forms, projective modules. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 11E39, 15A63, 13C10.

THE ARMENDARIZ GRAPH OF A RING
In this paper we initiate the study of Armendariz graph of a commutative ring R and investigate the basic properties of this graph such as diameter, girth, domination number, etc. The Armendariz graph of a ring R, denote...
SYMMETRIC BI-DERIVATIONS IN ALMOST DISTRIBUTIVE LATTICES
In this paper, we introduce the concept of symmetric bi-derivation in an Almost Distributive Lattice (ADL) and derive some important properties of symmetric bi-derivations in ADLs.
Zero-divisor graphs of reduced Rickart *-rings
For a ring A with an involution ∗, the zero-divisor graph of A, Γ∗ (A), is the graph whose vertices are the nonzero left zero-divisors in A such that distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy∗ = 0. In this...
ON A PERIODIC PART OF PSEUDO-BCI-ALGEBRAS
In the paper the connections between the set of some maximal elements of a pseudo-BCI-algebra and deductive systems are established. Using these facts, a periodic part of a pseudo-BCI-algebra is studied.
Generalized Derivations With Left Annihilator Conditions in Prime and Semiprime Rings
Let R be a prime ring with its Utumi ring of quotients U, C = Z(U) be the extended centroid of R, H and G two generalized derivations of R, L a noncentral Lie ideal of R, I a nonzero ideal of R. The left annihilator of S...
