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.

A VARIATION OF ZERO-DIVISOR GRAPHS
In this paper, we define a new graph for a ring with unity by extending the definition of the usual ‘zero-divisor graph’. For a ring R with unity, Γ1(R) is defined to be the simple undirected graph having all non-zero el...
The Clifford semiring congruences on an additive regular semiring
A congruence ρ on a semiring S is called a (generalized)Clifford semiring congruence if S/ρ is a (generalized)Clifford semiring. Here we characterize the (generalized)Clifford congruences on a semiring whose additive red...
ENUMERATION OF Γ-GROUPS OF FINITE ORDER
The concept of Γ-semigroups is a generalization of semigroups. In this paper, we consider Γ-groups and prove that every Γ-group is derived from a group then, we give the number of Γ-groups of small order.
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.
Generalized derivations in prime rings and Banach algebras
Let R be a prime ring with extended centroid C, F a generalized derivation of R and n ≥ 1, m ≥ 1 fixed integers. In this paper we study the situations: 1. (F(x ◦ y))m = (x ◦ y) n for all x, y ∈ I, where I is a nonzero id...
