Preface
The 31st Ohio State-Denison Mathematics Conference was held May 2527,
2012 in Columbus, Ohio. That installment of the conference served as a commemoration of Professor Hans Zassenhaus Centennial in 2012, a tting tribute as the
conference was initiated by Zassenhaus in the early sixties. At the same time, the
Ring Theory Session of that conference was dedicated to a celebration of University of California-Berkeley Professor T.Y. Lam on his 70th Birthday. This volume
collects the proceedings of the Ring Theory session and, just like the session itself,
is dedicated to Professor Lam.
T.Y. Lam is a prolic researcher and a magnicent writer. His books are treasured by students and researchers alike because of their thoroughness and brilliant
exposition. He is an inspiring mentor to his PhD students and an excellent role
model to his post-doctoral visitors. We consider ourselves lucky to have a professional relationship with him and are honored to count him as a friend. It has been a
tremendous pleasure to do our small part to celebrate his life and accomplishments.
The Ring Theory session of the Ohio State-Denison Mathematics Conference
is part of a longstanding tradition of collaboration between the Department of
Mathematics of the Ohio State University and the Ohio University Center of Ring
Theory and its Applications and has become a mainstay for the worldwide ring
theory community. We are thankful to the Mathematics Research institute of The
Ohio State University, The Center of Ring Theory and its Applications of Ohio
University and The Ohio State University at Lima for their generous support of
the conference.
For the most part, contributors to this volume delivered related talks at the
conference. All papers were subject to a strict process of refereeing.
We would like to use this opportunity to thank all the anonymous referees who
delivered their recommendations about the submissions under a very tight schedule.
In many cases, their recommendations and feedback enriched and improved the nal
version of the manuscripts you will nd here. We also want to express our deep
appreciation to Christine Thivierge and Michael Saitas, who very eciently handled
this publication on behalf of the American Mathematical Society.

Ring Theory Huynh, Jain, Lpez-Permouth, Rizvi, Roman

This volume contains the proceedings of the Ring Theory Session in honor of T. Y. Lams
70th birthday, at the 31st Ohio State-Denison Mathematics Conference, held from May
2527, 2012, at The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.
Included are expository articles and research papers covering topics such as cyclically
presented modules, Eggerts conjecture, the Mittag-Leffler conditions, clean rings, McCoy
rings, QF rings, projective and injective modules, Baer modules, and Leavitt path algebras.
Graduate students and researchers in many areas of algebra will find this volume valuable as the papers point out many directions for future work; in particular, several articles
contain explicit lists of open questions.
