Tensor product over $\mathbb{Z}$ and p-adic integer ring $\mathbb{Z}_p$
Thanks for your reading. Suppose we have two $\mathbb{Z}_p$-modules $A,B$. Do we always have $A \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} B \simeq A \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}_p} B$, as abelian groups or $\mathbb{Z}_p$-modules? ...

The precise relationship between (moduli space of) finite-dimensional commutative local $\kappa$-algebras and number theory?
In [BP08] Poonen constructs and studies $\mathfrak{B}_n$, the moduli space of all based $n$-dimensional commutative associative unital $\kappa$-algebras, where $\kappa$ is an algebraically closed ...

About the structure of unit groups appearing in number theory
I think the following statement is not true in the general situations, but consider it:
$R$ is a ring, $\mathfrak{p}$ is a prime ideal, then the unit group of $\dfrac{R}{\mathfrak{p}^nR}$ is ...

The type number of an algebra
I've been reading On the existence of maximal orders, by C.F. Yu, in which he discusses maximal $R$-orders in semisimple algebras over a field $K$, where $R$ is a Noetherian integral domain and $K = \...

A problem about an unramified prime in a Galois extension
I asked this question in MathStackExchange, but I didn't receive any answer.
Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a Galois extension of degree $n$, and denote its ring of integers by $\mathcal{O}_K$. Let $\mathfrak{...

Motivation to study the order theory (ring theory)
I'm currently reading a paper of Georges Gras on the Reflection Principle.
The paper uses some theorems about orders (ring theory) from the book "Maximal Orders" by Reiner. I find the book interesting,...

Every ideal is principal in a certain quotient ring
Does anybody know if there is a valuation-free proof of the following fact?
Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. Then, for every $q\in
\mathbb{Z}$, the quotient ring $\mathcal{O}_{K}/\...

On the factorization of powers of atoms in the ring of integers of a number field
Let $H$ be a multiplicatively written monoid with identity $1_H$. An atom of $H$ is a non-unit element $a \in H$ that doesn't split into the product of two non-unit elements.
Given $x \in H$, we ...

Closedness of the range of the distorsion of the multiplicative monoid of a number field
Let $H$ be a multiplicatively written monoid with identity $1_H$. An atom of $H$ is an element $x \in H \setminus H^\times$ such that $a \ne xy$ for all $x, y \in H \setminus H^\times$, where $H^\...

Criteria for the surjectivity of the reduction map of the $SL_n$-group scheme
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and let $I\subseteq R$ be an ideal. We have a natural projection map
$$
\pi:SL_n(R)\rightarrow SL_n(R/I)
$$
(In the original question I had put $GL_n$ instead of $SL_n$ ...

What is the ring of integers in $\mathbb Q^c\otimes_K K_\mathfrak p$? [closed]
Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal O_K$ and $\mathfrak p$ a prime of $K$. Let $\mathbb Q^c$ be the algebraic closure of $\mathbb Q$ in $\mathbb C$.
If $L$ is a number field ...
