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.

ON THE ASSOCIATED PRIME IDEALS OF LOCAL COHOMOLOGY MODULES DEFINED BY A PAIR OF IDEALS
Let I and J be two ideals of a commutative Noetherian ring R and M be an R-module. For a non-negative integer n it is shown that, if the sets AssR(Extn R(R/I, M)) and SuppR(ExtiR(R/I, Hj I,J(M))) are finite for all i ≤ n...
VARIETIES OF REGULAR ALGEBRAS AND UNRANKED TREE LANGUAGES
In this paper we develop a variety theory for unranked tree languages and unranked algebras. In an unranked tree any symbol may label a node with any number of successors. Such trees appear in markup languages such as XM...
Idempotent Elements of Weak Projection Generalized Hypersubstitutions
A generalized hypersubstitution of type τ = (ni)i∈I is a mapping σ which maps every operation symbol fi to the term σ(fi) and may not preserve arity. It is the main tool to study strong hyperidentities that are used to c...
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.
FOLDING THEORY OF IMPLICATIVE AND OBSTINATE IDEALS IN BL-ALGEBRAS
In this paper, the concepts of n-fold implicative ideals and n-fold obstinate ideals in BL-algebras are introduced. With respect to this concepts, some related results are given. In particular, it is proved that an ideal...
