On the mean value of the Smarandache LCM function

For any positive integer n, the F.Smarandache LCM function SL(n) is defined as the smallest positive integer k

FP-GR-INJECTIVE MODULES

In this paper, we give some characterizations of FP-grinjective R-modules and graded right R-modules of FP-gr-injective dimension at most n. We study the existence of FP-gr-injective envelopes and FP-gr-injective covers. We also prove that (1) (⊥gr-FI, gr-FI) is a hereditary cotorsion theory if and only if R is a left gr-coherent ring, (2) If R is right gr-coherent with FP-gr-id(RR) ≤ n, then (gr-FIn, gr-F n⊥) is a perfect cotorsion theory, (3) (⊥gr-FIn, gr-FIn) is a cotorsion theory, where gr-FI denotes the class of all FP-gr-injective left R-modules, gr-FIn is the class of all graded right R-modules of FP-gr-injective dimension at most n. Some applications are given

TRIANGULAR MATRIX REPRESENTATIONS OF SKEW MONOID RINGS

Let R be a ring and S a u.p.-monoid. Assume that there is a monoid homomorphism &#945; : S &#8594; Aut (R). Suppose that &#945; is weakly&#12288;rigid and lR(Ra) is pure as a left ideal of R for every element a &#8712; R. Then the skew monoid ring R*S induced by &#945; has the same triangulating dimension as R. Furthermore, if R is a PWP ring, then so is R*S.</p
