Abstract:
Let $\Lambda$ be a commutative unital ring and $n\in\Bbb{N}$, $n\geq 2$. A set $\sigma = (\sigma_{ij})$, $1\leq{i, j} \leq{n}, $ of additive subgroups $\sigma_{ij}$ of $\Lambda$ is said to be a net or a carpet of order $n$ over the ring $\Lambda$ if $\sigma_{ir} \sigma_{rj} \subseteq{\sigma_{ij}}$ for all $i$, $r$, $j$. A net without diagonal is called an elementary net. An elementary net $\sigma=(\sigma_{ij})$, $1\leq{i\neq{j} \leq{n}}$, is said to be complemented (to a full net), if for some additive subgroups (subrings) $\sigma_{ii}$ of $\Lambda$ the matrix (with the diagonal) $\sigma = (\sigma_{ij})$, $1\leq{i,j}\leq{n}$ is a full net. Assume that $\sigma = (\sigma_{ij})$ is an elementary net over the ring $\Lambda$ of the order $n$. Consider a set $\omega = (\omega_{ij})$ of additive subgroups $\omega_{ij}$ of the ring $\Lambda$, where $i\neq{j}$ defined by the rule $\omega_{ij}= \sum_{k=1}^{n}\sigma_{ik}\sigma_{kj},$ $k\neq i;\ k\neq j$. The set $\omega = (\omega_{ij})$ of elementary subgroups $\omega_{ij}$ of the ring $\Lambda$ is an elementary net called an elementary derived net. An elementary net $\omega$ can be completed to a full net by the standard way. In this article we propose a second way to complete an elementary net to a full net. The notion of a net $\Omega=(\Omega_{ij})$ associated with an elementary group $E(\sigma)$ is also introduced. The following theorem is the main result of the paper: An elementary net $\sigma$ generates an elementary derived net$\omega=(\omega_{ij})$and a net$\Omega=(\Omega_{ij})$associated with the elementary group$E(\sigma)$such that$\omega\subseteq \sigma \subseteq \Omega$. If$\omega=(\omega_{ij})$is completed with a diagonal to the full net in the standard way, then for all$r$and$i\neq j$we have$\omega_{ir}\Omega_{rj} \subseteq \omega_{ij}$and$\Omega_{ir}\omega_{rj} \subseteq \omega_{ij}$. If$\omega=(\omega_{ij})$is completed with a diagonal to the full net in the second way then the inclusions are valid for all$i$, $r$, $j$.
