    Bead on a rotating vertical ring

    Hi I have some conceptual questions about one situation. I have posted the picture. We have a bead on a ring which is rotating about the vertical axis passing through its center. The bead is not tied to the center of the ring , though it appears like that in the figure. Let m be the mass of...

    Torsion-free modules over a Discrete Valuation Ring

    Let R be a discrete valuation ring with fraction field F. I believe it's straightforward to show that any torsion-free module M with the property that M \otimes_R F is a finite dimensional F-vector space is of the form R^m \oplus F^n. What if M \otimes_R F is infinite dimensional?

    Conceptual question about a rotating ring

    Hi I was thinking about this conceptual problem. Consider a thin ring of radius R, which is rotating about the axis passing through its center of mass. Now let's says there is no gravity and the ring is rotating at some constant angular velocity \omega , so the angular momentum is conserved...

    Complexes and Reals: The Impossibility of an Onto Ring Homomorphism

    Onto ring homomorphism C-->R Why can't there be an onto ring homomorphism from the Complexes to the Reals? The only property of the complexes that the rations don't have that I can think of is the guarantee of square roots- but I can't see how that would interfere with an onto function.

    How can the ideal generated by ab-ba force a ring to commute?

    Is there something you can do to a ring to produce a commutative ring? Like for any group, you can create an Abelian group by factoring out its commutator subgroup. Can you "force" a ring to commute?
