R is a Marot ring if each regular ideal can be generated by regular elements and it is additively regular if for each pair of elements a and b in R with b regular, there is an element c in R such that a+bc is regular. After 35 years of trying to avoid invoking these restrictions, this talk is about some recent work which shows that sometimes they are necessary/useful.

Title:  Additively Regular Rings and Marot Rings

Speaker:  Tom Lucas - University of North Carolina, Charlotte

Abstract:  For a commutative ring R with nonzero identity,  elements and ideals are said to be regular if they are not contained in the set of zero divisors (which includes 0). R is a Marot ring if each regular ideal can be generated by regular elements and it is additively regular if for each pair of elements a and b in R with b regular, there is an element c in R such that a+bc is regular. After 35 years of trying to avoid invoking these restrictions, this talk is about some recent work which shows that sometimes they are necessary/useful.
