Abstract
In this article, we introduce the monomial ideals of semirings and study some
of its properties. Main objective of this articleis to investigate prime spectrum of
monomial ideals of semirings and discuss its topology.

I. Introduction
Semirings are generalization of rings and bounded distributive lattices. H.S
Vandiver[IV] presented the idea of semirings in 1935. Semirings arise naturally in
such diverse areas of Mathematics as Combinatorics, Functional Analysis, Topology,
Graph Theory, Automata Theory, Formal Languages Theory, Mathematical
Modelling of Quantum Physics and Computational Systems (see [II, VI, XIV]). Over
the years, semirings have been studied by various researchers in an attempt to
broaden techniques coming from ring theory or in connection with their applications.
Here, we generalize the concept of monomial ideals in polynomial semirings. Our
focus on monomial ideals is that these ideals are simplest, in the sense, since the
generators have only one term each. Also the monomial ideals have incredible
connection to the other areas of Mathematics. For instance, one can use monomial
ideals to study certain objects in Combinatorics, Geometry, Graph theory and
Topology [I, V, XV]. The prime spectrum of ideals of polynomial rings and its
associated topology have been studied by different Mathematicians in rings, modules
and lattices (see [III, XI, XII]). In this article, we study some properties of monomial

ideals in polynomial semirings and prove that the monomial ideals of semirings are
subtractive (k-ideals) and extraordinary. We study about the topology of prime
monomial ideals of semirings and prove that Spec S is To space , compact space
and it is Monomial Noetherian space. The notion of irreducible topology is due to R.
Aren and J. Dugundgi [VIII]. In this connection, we show that primeness of Nil
radicals is connected with irreducibility of the topology associated to prime monomial
ideals.
II. Preliminaries
For completion, we recall some definitions that will be useful for the sequel.
By a semiring S , ,. we mean a nonempty set S equipped with two binary
operations ‘ ’and ‘ . ’ such that S , and S ,. are semi groups with absorbing
zero '0 ' , i.e. a 0 0 a a and a.0 0.a 0 for all a S and the
multiplication is both left andright distributive over addition. A semiring S is
commutative if it is commutative with respect to multiplication. All semirings in this
paper are commutative with identity. A semiring S is said to be a semidomain if
ab 0 for some a , b S , then either a 0 or b 0. Asemifield is a semiring in
which non-zero elements form a group under multiplication. An ideal I of S is
k ideal if x y I with x I implies y I . A proper ideal P of S is prime if
and only if whenever IJ P for some ideals I , J of S implies that I P or J P
. Allen [VII] presented the notion of Q ideal I in the semiring S and constructed
the quotient semiring S / I (also see [IX, X, XIII]). An ideal I of S is called
extraordinary if whenever A and B are semiprime k ideal of S with A B I ,
then A I or B I . If a semiring which satisfies the ascending chain condition on
ideals I1 I 2 ............. I n ....., then there exists an n N such that
I n I n 1...... then it is called Noetheriansemiring. A topological space X is said to
be irreducible if X and if every pair of non-voidopen sets in X intersects (see
[VIII]). Let X be topological space and A X is said tobe dense in X if and only
if A G , for every non-void open subset G X . Thus X is irreducible if and
only if every non-void open subset of X is dense.
III. Monomial Ideals of Semirings
Let S R x1 , x2 ,......, xn be the polynomial semiring over a commutative
semi domain R with unity. Any product of indeterminate in the form
1 2 n
mi x1 x2 .........xn is a monomial with 1 , 2 ,........., n are positive integers.
An ideal I of S is called a monomial ideal if it is generated by monomials. For
convenience, we denote polynomial semiring with S , monomials with mi (where
i ) and I for monomial ideals.

(ii).
The collection B m : m is monomial of S is basis of topology on Spec S
Proof.(i).Let A B m1 B m2 . Then A Spec S C m1 Spec S C m2
Spec S C m C m . This
1 2 implies that m1 A and m2 A. If we
consider that m1m2 A, then primenessof A gives the contradiction. Hence
m1m2 A, therefore A B m1m2 , that is B m1 B m2 B m1m2 . On the
other hand, suppose that A B m1m2 , thistells that m1m2 A, then m1 A
otherwise m1m2 A, since A is monomial ideal.Similarly m2 A . It follows that
A B m1 B m2 , hence we get the requiredresult.

Proof. By theorem 4.1(ii), we can assume that an open covering of Spec S is ofthe
form B m , m is monomial and J with J is index set. We have
Spec S J B m J Spec S C m Spec S J C m .
This implies that
(1) J
C m
Also,
(2) J
C m J Spec S B m Spec S B I C I
Where I is monomial ideal generated by monomials m J . From (1) and (2),
weget C I . Thus there doesn’t exist any prime monomial ideal which contains
I m , J if and only if C I Spec S C I Spec S . While
C 1 therefore there exist some monomial ideal I m , J 1 S
therefore there exist a finite subset of monomials m1 , m2 , ......., mk of m and
x1 , x2 ,......, xk S such that m1 x1 m2 x2 ..... mk xk 1, since S is finitely
generated. This implies that I m1 , m2 , ......., mk S . Hence

Spec S is compact.
Recall that every topological space is distributive lattice of open sets thereforeit forms
inverse semirings.
Proposition 4.4. Let S R x1 , x2 ,....., xn bea polynomial semiring. If the semiring
R isNoetherian, then Spec S is Monomial Noetherian space.
