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.

M-SOLID GENERALIZED NON-DETERMINISTIC VARIETIES
A generalized non-deterministic hypersubstitution is a mapping which maps operation symbols of type τ to the set of terms of the same type which does not necessarily preserve the arity. We apply the generalized nondeterm...
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...
ALL REGULAR-SOLID VARIETIES OF IDEMPOTENT SEMIRINGS
The lattice of all regular-solid varieties of semirings splits in two complete sublattices: the sublattice of all idempotent regular-solid varieties of semirings and the sublattice of all normal regular-solid varieties o...
ON THE LENGTH OF RATIONAL CONTINUED FRACTIONS OVER Fq(X)
Let Fq be a finite field and A(Y ) ∈ Fq(X, Y ). The aim of this paper is to prove that the length of the continued fraction expansion of A(P); P ∈ Fq[X], is bounded.
Some characterizations of 2-primal ideals of a Γ-semiring
This paper is a continuation of our previous paper entitled “On 2-primal Γ-semirings”. In this paper we have introduced the notion of 2-primal ideal in Γ-semiring and studied it. Keywords: Γ-semiring, nilpotent element,...
