Commutative ring theory

the long version

Presenting the proceedings of a recently held conference in Fes, Morocco, this outstanding, up-to-date reference details the latest developments in commutative algebra - highlighting the theory of rings and ideals. Exploring commutative algebra's connections with and applications to topological algebra and algebraic geometry, Commutative Ring Theory covers the spectra of rings...chain conditions, dimension theory, and Jaffard rings...fiber products...group rings, semigroups rings, and graded rings...class groups...linear groups...integer-valued polynomials...rings of finite fractions...big Cohen-Macaulay modules...and much more. Furnishing over 330 literature citations, allowing further in-depth study of particular topics, Commutative Ring Theory is a vital resource for research mathematicians, algebraists, commutative ring theorists, and graduate students in these disciplines.
