SELF-DUAL PERMUTATION CODES OVER FORMAL POWER SERIES RINGS AND FINITE PRINCIPAL IDEAL RINGS

In this paper, we study self-dual permutation codes over formal power series rings and finite principal ideal rings. We first give some results on the torsion codes associated with the linear codes over formal power series rings. These results allow for obtaining some conditions for non-existence of self-dual permutation codes over formal power series rings. Finally, we describe self-dual permutation codes over finite principal ideal rings by examining permutation codes over their component chain rings.

Nilpotent Elements and Nil-Reflexive Property of Generalized Power Series Rings

Let R be a ring and (S,≤) a strictly ordered monoid. In this paper, we deal with a new approach to reflexive property for rings by using nilpotent elements, in this direction we introduce the notions of generalized power series reflexive and nil generalized power series reflexive, respectively. We obtain various necessary or sufficient conditions for a ring to be generalized power series reflexive and nil generalized power series reflexive. Examples are given to show that, nil generalized power series reflexive need not be generalized power series reflexive and vice versa, and nil generalized power series reflexive but not semicommutative are presented. We proved that, if R is a left APP-ring, then R is generalized power series reflexive, and R is nil generalized power series reflexive if and only if R/I is nil generalized power series reflexive. Moreover, we investigate ring extensions which have roles in ring theory.

Principal Quasi-Baerness of Skew Power Series Rings

Let R be a ring such that all left semicentral idempotents axe central and α a weakly rigid endomorphism of R. It is shown that the skew power series ring R[[x; α]] is right p.q.Baer if and only if R is right p.q.Baer and any countable family of idempotents in R has a generalized join in I(R), where I(R) is the set of all idempotents of R.

On Skew Power-serieswise nil-Armendariz Rings

For a ring endomorphism α, in this paper we introduce the notion of s-power- serieswise nil-Armendariz rings, which are a generalization of α-power-serieswise Armendariz rings. A number of properties of this generalization are established, and the extensions of α- power-serieswise nil-Armendariz rings are investigated. Which generalizes the corresponding results of nil-Armendariz rings and power-serieswise nil-Armendariz rings.

A Note on z-Ideals and z°-Ideals of the Formal Power Series Rings and Polynomial Rings in an Infinite Set of Indeterminates

Let A be a ring.In this paper we generalize some results introduced by Aliabad and Mohamadian.We give a relation bet ween the z-ideals of A and t hose of the formal power series rings in an infinite set of indetermiiiates over A.Consider A[[Xa]]3 and its subrings A[[X_(A)]]_(1),A[[X_(A)]]_(2),and A[[X_(A)]]_(α),where a is an infinite cardinal number.In fact,a z-ideal of the rings defined above is of the form I+(X_(A))i,where i=1,2,3 or an infinite cardinal number and I is a z-ideal of A.In addition,we prove that the same condition given by Aliabad and Mohamadian can be used to get a relation between the minimal prime ideals of the ring of the formal power series in an infinite set of indeterminates and those of the ring of coefficients.As a natural result,we get a relation between the z°-ideals of the formal power series ring in an infinite set of indeterminates and those of the ring of coefficients.

Principal Quasi-Baerness of Formal Power Series Rings

Let R be a ring. We consider left （or right） principal quasi-Baerness of the left skew formal power series ring R[[x;α]] over R where a is a ring automorphism of R. We give a necessary and sufficient condition under which the ring R[[x; α]] is left （or right） principally quasi-Baer. As an application we show that R[[x]] is left principally quasi-Baer if and only if R is left principally quasi- Baer and the left annihilator of the left ideal generated by any countable family of idempotents in R is generated by an idempotent.

Principal Quasi-Baerness of Rings of Generalized Power Series

Let R be a ring such that all left semicentral idempotents are central and （S, ≤） a strictly totally ordered monoid satisfying that 0 ≤s for all s ∈S. It is shown that [[R^S≤]], the ring of generalized power series with coefficients in R and exponents in S, is right p.q.Baer if and only if R is right p.q.Baer and any S-indexed subset of I（R） has a generalized join in I（R）, where I（R） is the set of all idempotents of R.

PS-modules over Rings of Generalized Power Series

Let R be a commutative ring and (S, ≤) a strictly totally ordered monoid which satisfies the condition that 0 ≤ s for every s ∈ S. In this paper we show that if RM is a PS-module, then the module [[MS≤]] of generalized power series over M is a PS [[RS,≤]]-module.

Principal Quasi-Baerness of Rings of Skew Generalized Power Series

Let R be a ring and （S, 〈） be a strictly totally ordered monoid satisfying that 0 〈 s for all s C S. It is shown that if A is a weakly rigid homomorphism, then the skew generalized power series ring [[RS,-〈, λ]] is right p.q.-Baer if and only if R is right p.q.-Baer and any S-indexed subset of S,（R） has a generalized join in S,（R）. Several known results follow as consequences of our results.

ON THE CHARACTERIZATION OF CYCLIC CODES OVER TWO CLASSES OF RINGS

Let R be a finite chain ring with maximal ideal （7） and residue field F,and letγ be of nilpotency index t. To every code C of length n over R, a tower of codes C = （C ： γ0） C_ （C： 7） C ... C_ （C： γ2） C_ .-. C_ （C：γ^t-1） can be associated with C, where for any r C R, （C ： r） = {e C Rn I re E C}. Using generator elements of the projection of such a tower of codes to the residue field F, we characterize cyclic codes over R. This characterization turns the condition for codes over R to be cyclic into one for codes over the residue field F. Furthermore, we obtain a characterization of cyclic codes over the formal power series ring of a finite chain ring.

Triangular Matrix Representations of Rings of Generalized Power Series

Let R be a ring and S a cancellative and torsion-free monoid and 〈 a strict order on S. If either （S,≤） satisfies the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ S, or R is reduced, then the ring [[R^S,≤]] of the generalized power series with coefficients in R and exponents in S has the same triangulating dimension as R. Furthermore, if R is a PWP ring, then so is [[R^S,≤]].

Let A,B be associative rings with identity,and(S.≤)a strictly totally ordered monoid which is also artinian and finitely generated.For any bimodule AaMB. we show that the bimodule [[A^(S.≤)]][M^(S.≤)][[B^(S.≤)]]defines a Morita duality if and only if _AM_B defines a Morita duality and A is left noetherian.B is right noetherian.As a corollary,it.is shown that the ring[[A^(S.≤)]]of generalized power series over A has a Morita duality if and only if A is a left noetherian ring with a Morita duality induced by a bimodule _AM_B such that B is right noetherian.

PP-Rings of Generalized Power Series

As a generalization of power series rings, Ribenboim introduced the notion of the rings of generalized power series. Let R be a commutative ring, and （S.≤） a strictly totally ordered monoid. We prove that （1） the ring [[R(S.≤]] of generalized power series is a PP-ring if and only if R is a PP-ring and every S-indexed subset C of B（R） （the set of all idempotents of R） has a least upper bound in B（R）. and （2） if （S. ≤） also satisfies the condition that 0≤s for any s∈S, then the ring [[R(S.≤]] is weakly PP if and only if R is weakly PP.

In this paper a connective study of Gould's annihilation coefficients and Abel-Gontscharoff polynomials is presented. It is shown that Gould's annihilation coefficients and Abel-Gontscharoff polynomials are actually equivalent to each other under certain linear substitutions for the variables. Moreover, a pair of related expansion formulas involving Gontscharoff s remainder and a new form of it are demonstrated, and also illustrated with several examples.

We show the following results: (1) If (S, ≤) is finitely generated and satisfies the condition that 0≤S for any s ∈S, then Epi([[RS,≤]][[MS,≤]]) = Epi([[RS,≤]][[NS,≤]]) if and only if Epi(M) = Epi(N); (2) If (S,≤) is artinian, then Mono([[RS,≤]][MS,≤])= Mono([[RS,≤]][NS,≤]) if and only if Mono(M) = Mono(N).

INJECTIVE PRECOVERS AND MODULES OF GENERALIZED INVERSE POLYNOMIALS

This paper is motivated by S. Park [10] in which the injective cover of left R[x]- module M[x? ] of inverse polynomials over a left R-module M was discussed. The 1 author considers the ?-covers of modules and shows that if η : P ?→ M is an ?- cover of M, then [ηS, ] : [PS, ] ?→ [MS, ] is an [?S, ]-cover of left [[RS, ]]-module ≤ ≤ ≤ ≤ ≤ [MS, ], where ? is a class of left R-modules and [MS, ] is the left [[RS, ]]-module of ≤ ≤ ≤ generalized inverse polynomials over a left R-module M. Also some properties of the injective cover of left [[RS, ]]-module [MS, ] are discussed. ≤

Generalized Macaulay-Northcott Modules and Tor-Groups

Let (S,≤) be a strictly totally ordered monoid which is also artinian, and R a right noetherian ring. Assume that M is a finitely generated right R-module and N is a left Rmodule. Denote by [[MS,≤]] and [NS,≤] the module of generalized power series over M, and the generalized Macaulay-Northcott module over N, respectively. Then we show that there exists an isomorphism of Abelian groups:Tori[[ RS,≤]]([[MS,≤]],[NS,≤])≌ s∈S ToriR (M,N).
