β¦ Synopsis
We show that, for a free abelian group G and prime power p , every direct sum decomposition of the group G=p G lifts to a direct sum decomposition of G. This is the key result we use to show that, for R a commutative von Neumann regular ring, and E a set of idempotents in R, then the projective dimension of the ideal ER as an R-module the same as the projective dimension of the ideal EB as a B-module, where B is the boolean algebra generated by E βͺ {1}. This answers a 30 year old open question of R. Wiegand.

Recent theoretical advances in elimination theory use straight-line programs as a data structure to represent multivariate polynomials. We present here the Projective Noether Package which is a Maple implementation of one of these new algorithms, yielding as a byproduct a computation of the dimensio
## a b s t r a c t A projective invariant generalization of the de Casteljau algorithm is described by using the cross ratio and an auxiliary line. We describe the implicit form of the section conics obtained by the algorithm proposed in this paper. Finally, we show how to construct specific conic
