ON RELATIVE FLATNESS

Abstract

For a torsion radical, δ, we study various types of relative flatness and regularity. We obtain conditions valid when every R-module is δ-flat, when every R-module is semi-δ-flat and when every R-module is semi-δ-injective, and hence we characterize quasi-Frobenius rings R together with any torsion radical, δ, on R-mod. We define a ring to be δ perfect whenever every δ-flat module is projective and obtain extensions of some known results on perfect rings. We also introduce a relative form of the Jacobson Radical defined in terms of δ-flatness.     

Rings over which each module possesses a maximal submodule

Right Bass rings are investigated, that is, rings over which any nonzero right module has a maximal submodule. In particular, it is proved that if any prime quotient ring of a ringA is algebraic over its center, thenA is a right perfect ring iffA is a right Bass ring that contains no infinite set of orthogonal idempotents.

ON SOME PROPERTIES OF IF RINGS

Abstract

We show that left IF rings (rings such that every injective left module is flat) have certain regular-like properties. For instance, we prove that every left IF reduced ring is strongly regular. We also give characterizations of (left and right) IF rings. In particular, we show that a ring R is IF if and only if every finitely generated left (and right) ideal is the annihilator of a finite subset of R.     

ON SOME SPECIAL CLASSES OF PRIME RINGS

Abstract

Given a non-zero cardinal α, a ring R is said to be SP(α) if a is the first cardinal for which every non-zero element of R has an insulator of cardinality less than α + 1.

It is shown that the class of SP(α) rings is a special class (in the sense of Andrunakievi?) for each α. A theorem of Groenewald and Heyman (also Desale and Varadarajan) to the effect that the class of all strongly prime rings is a special class is obtained as a corollary. Every SP(α) ring has an SP(α) rational extension ring with identity.     

STRONGLY PRIME GROUP RINGS

Abstract

A ring R is (right) strongly prime (SP) if every nonzero two sided ideal contains a finite set whose right annihilator is zero, SP rings have been studied by Handelman and Lawrence who raised the problem of characterizing SP group algebras. They showed that if R is SP and G is torsion free Abelian, then the group ring RG is SP. The aim of this note is to determine some more group rings which are SP.

For a ring R we also define the strongly prime radical s(R). We then show that s(R)G = s(W) for certain classes of groups.     

Almost perfect commutative rings

Almost perfect commutative rings R are introduced (as an analogue of Bazzoni and Salce's almost perfect domains) for rings with divisors of zero: they are defined as orders in commutative perfect rings such that the factor rings $R/Rr$ are perfect rings (in the sense of Bass) for all non-zero-divisors$r\in R$. It is shown that an almost perfect ring is an extension of a T-nilpotent ideal by a subdirect product of a finite number of almost perfect domains. Noetherian almost perfect rings are exactly the one-dimensional Cohen–Macaulay rings. Several characterizations of almost perfect domains carry over practically without change to almost perfect rings. Examples of almost perfect rings with zero-divisors are abundant.     

Mod-Retractable Rings

A right module M over a ring R is said to be retractable if Hom _R (M, N) ≠ 0 for each nonzero submodule N of M. We show that M ? _R RG is a retractable RG-module if and only if M _R is retractable for every finite group G. The ring R is (finitely) mod-retractable if every (finitely generated) right R-module is retractable. Some comparisons between max rings, semiartinian rings, perfect rings, noetherian rings, nonsingular rings, and mod-retractable rings are investigated. In particular, we prove ring-theoretical criteria of right mod-retractability for classes of all commutative, left perfect, and right noetherian rings.     

RD-Flatness and RD-Injectivity

It is proven that every commutative ring whose RD-injective modules are Σ-RD- injective is the product of a pure semisimple ring and a finite ring. A complete characterization of commutative rings for which each Artinian (respectively simple) module is RD-injective, is given. These rescan be obtained by using the properties of RD-flat modules and RD-coflat modules which are respectively the RD-relativization of flat modules and fp-injective modules. It is also shown that a commutative ring is perfect if and only if each RD-flat module is RD-projective.     

On the structure of indecomposable injective modules 1

For a ring R, the following two conditions are equivalent:.

(1) If E is an indecomposable injective right R-module, then End E_R is a field (not necesarily commutative).

(2) Every co-irreducible rigtht ideal is critical.

Since (2) has been characterized ideal-theoretically, this amounts to an ideal-theoretical characterization of (1). These rings come up to the study of (QI) rings in which every quasi-injective module is injective.

Clean Semiprime f-Rings with Bounded Inversion

Abstract

An element in a ring is called clean if it may be written as a sum of a unit and idempotent. The ring itself is called clean if every element is clean. Recently,Anderson and Camillo (Anderson,D. D.,Camillo,V. (2002). Commutative rings whose elements are a sum of a unit and an idempotent. Comm. Algebra 30(7):3327–3336) has shown that for commutative rings every von-Neumann regular ring as well as zero-dimensional rings are clean. Moreover,every clean ring is a pm-ring,that is every prime ideal is contained in a unique maximal ideal. In the same article,the authors give an example of a commutative ring which is a pm-ring yet not clean,e.g.,C(?). It is this example which interests us. Our discussion shall take place in a more general setting. We assume that all rings are commutative with 1.     

Restricted Perfect Group Rings

A ring R is a restricted right perfect ring if every proper homomorphic image of R is right perfect. A complete characterization of restricted right perfect group rings RG has been obtained when the f.c. center of the group G is nontrivial. The f.c. center of a group G is the set of all elements of G that have finitely many conjugates in G.     

A generalization of right pci rings

By a well-known result of Osofsky [6, Theorem] a ring R is semisimple (i.e. R is right artinian and the Jacobson radical of R is zero) if and only if every cyclic right R-module is injective. Starting from this, a larger class of rings has been introduced and investigated, namely the class of right PCI rings. A ring R is called right PCI if every proper cyclic right R- module is injective (proper here means not being isomorphic to RR). By [l] and [Z], a right PCI ring is either semisimple or it is a right noetherian, right hereditary simple ring. The latter ring is usually called a right PCI domain. In this paper we consider the similar question in studying rings whose cyclic right modules satisfy some decomposition property. The starting point is a theorem recently proved in 13, Theorem 1.1): A ring R is right artinian if and only if every cyclic right R- module is a direct sum of an injective module and a finitely cogenerated module.     

Rickart Modules

The concept of right Rickart rings (or right p.p. rings) has been extensively studied in the literature. In this article, we study the notion of Rickart modules in the general module theoretic setting by utilizing the endomorphism ring of a module. We provide several characterizations of Rickart modules and study their properties. It is shown that the class of rings R for which every right R-module is Rickart is precisely that of semisimple artinian rings, while the class of rings R for which every free R-module is Rickart is precisely that of right hereditary rings. Connections between a Rickart module and its endomorphism ring are studied. A characterization of precisely when the endomorphism ring of a Rickart module will be a right Rickart ring is provided. We prove that a Rickart module with no infinite set of nonzero orthogonal idempotents in its endomorphism ring is precisely a Baer module. We show that a finitely generated module over a principal ideal domain (PID) is Rickart exactly if it is either semisimple or torsion-free. Examples which delineate the concepts and results are provided.     

每一个元素都是左零因子之环

本文引进左(右)零因子环的概念,它们是一类无单位元的环.我们称一个环为左(右)零因子环,如果对于任何 $a \in R$,都有$r_R (a) \neq 0~(l_R(a)\neq 0)$,而称一个环为强左(右)零因子环,如果$r_R(R)\neq 0~(l_R(R)\neq 0)$.Camillo和Nielson称一个环$R$为右有限零化环(简称RFA-环),如果$R$的每一个有限子集都有非零的右零化子.本文给出左零因子环的一些基本例子,探讨强左零因子环和RFA-环的扩张,并给出它们的等价刻画.

J-clean环的推广

如果R中每个元素(对应地,可逆元)均可表示为一个幂等元与环R的Jacobson根中一个元素之和,则称环R是J-clean环(对应地,UJ环).所有的J-clean环都是UJ环.作为UJ环的真推广,本文引入GUJ环的概念,研究GUJ环的基本性质和应用.进一步地,研究每个元素均可表示为一个幂等元与一个方幂属于环的Jacobson根的元素之和的环.     

Irreducible maps of commutative rings

We give necessary conditions for a map to be irreducible (in the category of finitely generated, torsion free modules) over a non-local, commutative ring and sufficient conditions when the ring is Bass. In particular, we show that an irreducible map of ZG, where G is a square free abelian group, must be a monomorphism with a simple cokernel. We also show that local endomorphism rings are necessary and sufficient for the existence of almost split sequences over a commutative Bass ring and we explicitly describe the modules and the maps in those sequences. The results in this paper enable us to describe the Auslander-Reiten quiver of a non-local Bass ring in [8].
