Left SF-Rings and Regular Rings

A ring R is called a left (right) SF-ring if all simple left (right) R-modules are flat. It is known that von Neumann regular rings are left and right SF-rings. In this article, we study the regularity of left SF-rings and we prove the following: 1) if R is a left SF-ring whose all complement left (right) ideals are W-ideals, then R is strongly regular; 2) if R is a left SF-ring whose all maximal essential right ideals are GW-ideals, then R is regular.

The followingconditions are shown to be equivalent: (1) R is a strongly regular ring; (2) R is a left SFring such that every product of two independent closed left ideals of R is zero; (3) R is aright SF-ring such that every product of two independent closed left ideals of R is zero; (4)R is a left SF-ring whose every special left annihilator is a quasi-ideal; (5) R is a right SFring whose every special left annihilator is a quasi-ideal; (6) R is a left SF-ring whose everymaximal left ideal is a quasi-ideal; (7) R is a right SF-ring whose every maximal left ideal isa quasi-ideal; (8) R is a left SF-ring such that the set N(R) of all nilpotent elements of R isa quasi-ideal; (9) R is a right SF-ring such that N(R) is a quasi-ideal.

Central semicommutative rings

A ring R is central semicommutative if ab = 0 implies that aRb ? Z(R) for any a, b ∈ R. Since every semicommutative ring is central semicommutative, we study sufficient condition for central semicommutative rings to be semicommutative. We prove that some results of semicommutative rings can be extended to central semicommutative rings for this general settings, in particular, it is shown that every central semicommutative ring is nil-semicommutative. We show that the class of central semicommutative rings lies strictly between classes of semicommutative rings and abelian rings. For an Armendariz ring R, we prove that R is central semicommutative if and only if the polynomial ring R[x] is central semicommutative. Moreover, for a central semicommutative ring R, it is proven that (1) R is strongly regular if and only if R is a left GP-V′-ring whose maximal essential left ideals are GW-ideals if and only if R is a left GP-V′-ring whose maximal essential right ideals are GW-ideals. (2) If R is a left SF and central semicommutative ring, then R is a strongly regular ring.     

Rugged modules: The opposite of flatness

Relative notions of flatness are introduced as a mean to gauge the extent of the flatness of any given module. Every module is thus endowed with a flatness domain and, for every ring, the collection of flatness domains of all of its modules is a lattice with respect to class inclusion. This lattice, the flatness profile of the ring, allows us, in particular, to focus on modules which have a smallest flatness domain (namely, one consisting of all regular modules.) We establish that such modules exist over arbitrary rings and we call them Rugged Modules. Rings all of whose (cyclic) modules are rugged are shown to be precisely the von Neumann regular rings. We consider rings without a flatness middle class (i.e., rings for which modules must be either flat or rugged.) We obtain that, over a right Noetherian ring every left module is rugged or flat if and only if every right module is poor or injective if and only if R = S×T, where S is semisimple Artinian and T is either Morita equivalent to a right PCI-domain, or T is right Artinian whose Jacobson radical properly contains no nonzero ideals. Character modules serve to bridge results about flatness and injectivity profiles; in particular, connections between rugged and poor modules are explored. If R is a ring whose regular left modules are semisimple, then a right module M is rugged if and only if its character left module M⁺ is poor. Rugged Abelian groups are fully characterized and shown to coincide precisely with injectively poor and projectively poor Abelian groups. Also, in order to get a feel for the class of rugged modules over an arbitrary ring, we consider the homological ubiquity of rugged modules in the category of all modules in terms of the feasibility of rugged precovers and covers for arbitrary modules.     

Weakly regular rings with ACC on annihilators and maximality of strongly prime ideals of weakly regular rings

Ramamurthi proved that weak regularity is equivalent to regularity and biregularity for left Artinian rings. We observe this result under a generalized condition. For a ring R satisfying the ACC on right annihilators, we actually prove that if R is left weakly regular then R is biregular, and that R is left weakly regular if and only if R is a direct sum of a finite number of simple rings. Next we study maximality of strongly prime ideals, showing that a reduced ring R is weakly regular if and only if R is left weakly regular if and only if R is left weakly π-regular if and only if every strongly prime ideal of R is maximal.     

Rings with divisibility on chains of ideals

We present a generalization of the ascending and descending chain condition on one-sided ideals by means of divisibility on chains. We say that a ring R satisfies ACC_d on right ideals if in every ascending chain of right ideals of R, each right ideal in the chain, except for a finite number of right ideals, is a left multiple of the following one; that is, each right ideal in the chain, except for a finite number, is divisible by the following one. We study these rings and prove some results about them. Dually, we say that a ring R satisfies DCC_d on right ideals if in every descending chain of right ideals of R, each right ideal in the chain, except for a finite number of right ideals, is divisible by the previous one. We study these conditions on rings, in general and in special cases.     

Gelfand Factor Rings and Weak Zariski Topologies

Let R be any ring with identity. Let N(R) (resp. J(R)) denote the prime radical (resp. Jacobson radical) of R, and let Spec _r (R) (resp. Spec _l (R), Max _r (R), Prim _r (R)) denote the set of all right prime ideals (resp. all left prime ideals, all maximal right ideals, all right primitive ideals) of R. In this article, we study the relationships among various ring-theoretic properties and topological conditions on Spec _r (R) (with weak Zariski topology). The following results are obtained: (1) R/N(R) is a Gelfand ring if and only if Spec _r (R) is a normal space if and only if Spec _l (R) is a normal space; (2) R/J(R) is a Gelfand ring if and only if every right prime ideal containing J(R) is contained in a unique maximal right ideal.     

Regular Action in Rings

Let R be a ring with identity, X(R) the set of all nonzero non-units of R and G(R) the group of all units of R. By considering left and right regular actions of G(R) on X(R), the following are investigated: (1) For a local ring R such that X(R) is a union of n distinct orbits under the left (or right) regular action of G(R) on X(R), if J ⁿ  ≠ 0 = J ⁿ⁺¹ where J is the Jacobson radical of R, then the set of all the distinct ideals of R is exactly {R, J, J ²,…, J ⁿ , 0}, and each orbit under the left regular action is equal to the one under the right regular action. (2) Such a ring R is left (and right) duo ring. (3) For the full matrix ring S of n × n matrices over a commutative ring R, the number of orbits under left regular action of G(S) on X(S) is equal to the number of orbits under right regular action of G(S) on X(S); the result also holds for the ring of n × n upper triangular matrices over R.     

A note on utumi quotient rings

Let R be a ring and ρ a right ideal of R with zero right annihilate. Then ρ and R have the same left Utumi quotient ring. We study the lifting properties of GPIs and some chain conditions inherited by such right ideals. Next, we prove a generalization of Chatters’ theorem. Precisely, we show that if R is a right nonsingular ring with finite right Goldie dimension and possesses a right ideal ρ such that both ρ and l _R(ρ) are PI-rings, then the right Utumi quotient ring of R is also a Pi-ring.     

EXCHANGE MORITA RINGS

In this paper we characterize the largest exchange ideal of a ring R as the set of those elements x ∈ R such that the local ring of R at x is an exchange ring. We use this result to prove that if R and S are two rings for which there is a quasi-acceptable Morita context, then R is an exchange ring if and only if S is an exchange ring, extending an analogue result given previously by Ara and the second and third authors for idempotent rings. We introduce the notion of exchange associative pair and obtain some results connecting the exchange property and the possibility of lifting idempotents modulo left ideals. In particular we obtain that in any exchange ring, orthogonal von Neumann regular elements can be lifted modulo any one-sided ideal.     

On a Generalization of Injective Rings

Abstract

A ring R is called left IP-injective if every homomorphism from a left ideal of R into R with principal image is given by right multiplication by an element of R. It is shown that R is left IP-injective if and only if R is left P-injective and left GIN (i.e., r(I ∩ K) = r(I) + r(K) for each pair of left ideals I and K of R with I principal). We prove that R is QF if and only if R is right noetherian and left IP-injective if and only if R is left perfect, left GIN and right simple-injective. We also show that, for a right CF left GIN-ring R, R is QF if and only if Soc(R _R ) ? Soc( _R R). Two examples are given to show that an IP-injective ring need not be self-injective and a right IP-injective ring is not necessarily left IP-injective respectively.

Weakly left localizable rings

A new class of rings, the class of weakly left localizable rings, is introduced. A ring R is called weakly left localizable if each non-nilpotent element of R is invertible in some left localization S^?1R of the ring R. Explicit criteria are given for a ring to be a weakly left localizable ring provided the ring has only finitely many maximal left denominator sets (eg, this is the case for all left Noetherian rings). It is proved that a ring with finitely many maximal left denominator sets that satisfies some natural conditions is a weakly left localizable ring iff its left quotient ring is a direct product of finitely many local rings such that their radicals are nil ideals.     

Principally Quasi-Baer skew Generalized Power Series modules

Let R be a ring and S a strictly totally ordered monoid. Let ω: S → End(R) be a monoid homomorphism. Let M _R be an ω-compatible module and either R satisfies the ascending chain conditions (ACC) on left annihilator ideals or every S-indexed subset of right semicentral idempotents in R has a generalized S-indexed join. We show that M _R is p.q.-Baer if and only if the generalized power series module M[[S]] _{R[[S, ω]]} is p.q.-Baer. As a consequence, we deduce that for an ω-compatible ring R, the skew generalized power series ring R[[S, ω]] is right p.q.-Baer if and only if R is right p.q.-Baer and either R satisfies the ACC on left annihilator ideals or any S-indexed subset of right semicentral idempotents in R has a generalized S-indexed join in R. Examples to illustrate and delimit the theory are provided.
