Contribution & Novelties
The talk introduces a new generalization of the torsion ideal, called the nil-torsion ideal, and studies its properties in the context of algebraic frames. It also provides a frame-theoretic analogue of the torsion ideal and compares it with the ring-theoretic version. The results include characterizations of when the nil-torsion ideal is radical and conditions for equality between the torsion and nil-torsion ideals. The talk also extends the study to z-ideals, introducing the concept of nearly semi-primitive rings.
Pour aller plus loin :
- Torsion theory (algebra) — Provides background on torsion concepts in module theory.
- Radical of an ideal — Relevant to the definition of radical ideals used in the talk.
- Frame (mathematics) — Background on frames, which are central to the talk’s algebraic frame approach.
