On π-regularity of General Rings

A general ring means an associative ring with or without identity.An idempotent e in a general ring I is called left （right） semicentral if for every x ∈ I,xe=exe （ex=exe）.And I is called semiabelian if every idempotent in I is left or right semicentral.It is proved that a semiabelian general ring I is π-regular if and only if the set N （I） of nilpotent elements in I is an ideal of I and I /N （I） is regular.It follows that if I is a semiabelian general ring and K is an ideal of I,then I is π-regular if and only if both K and I /K are π-regular.Based on this we prove that every semiabelian GVNL-ring is an SGVNL-ring.These generalize several known results on the relevant subject.Furthermore we give a characterization of a semiabelian GVNL-ring.     

On Regular Power-Substitution

The necessary and sufficient conditions under which a ring satisfies regular power-substitution are investigated. It is shown that a ring R satisfies regular powersubstitution if and only if a-b in R implies that there exist n ∈ N and a U E GLn （R） such that aU = Ub if and only if for any regular x ∈ R there exist m,n ∈ N and U ∈ GLn（R） such that x^mIn = xmUx^m, where a-b means that there exists x,y, z∈ R such that a =ybx, b = xaz and x= xyx = xzx. It is proved that every directly finite simple ring satisfies regular power-substitution. Some applications for stably free R-modules are also obtained.     

On Weakly Semicommutative Rings

A ring R is said to be weakly semicommutative if for any a,b∈R, ab=0 implies aRb（？）Nil（R）,where Nil（R） is the set of all nilpotent elements in R. In this note,we clarify the relationship between weakly semicommutative rings and NI-rings by proving that the notion of a weakly semicommutative ring is a proper generalization of NI-rings.We say that a ring R is weakly 2-primal if the set of nilpotent elements in R coincides with its Levitzki radical,and prove that if R is a weakly 2-primal ring which satisfiesα-condition for an endomorphismαof R（that is,ab=0（？）aα（b）=0 where a,b∈R） then the skew polynomial ring R[x;α] is a weakly 2-primal ring,and that if R is a ring and I is an ideal of R such that I and R/I are both weakly semicommutative then R is weakly semicommutative. Those extend the main results of Liang et al.2007（Taiwanese J.Math.,11（5）（2007）, 1359-1368） considerably.Moreover,several new results about weakly semicommutative rings and NI-rings are included.     

Abelian正则环的零因子图

We introduce the zero-divisor graph for an abelian regular ring and show that if R, S are abelian regular, then (K0(R),[R])≌(K0(S),[S])if and only if they have isomorphic reduced zero-divisor graphs. It is shown that the maximal right quotient ring of a potent semiprimitive normal ring is abelian regular,moreover,the zero-divisor graph of such a ring is studied.     

Principal quasi-Baerness of formal power series rings

Let R be a ring. We consider left （or right） principal quasi-Baerness of the left skew formal power series ring R[[x;α]] over R where a is a ring automorphism of R. We give a necessary and sufficient condition under which the ring R[[x; α]] is left （or right） principally quasi-Baer. As an application we show that R[[x]] is left principally quasi-Baer if and only if R is left principally quasi- Baer and the left annihilator of the left ideal generated by any countable family of idempotents in R is generated by an idempotent.     

ON THE QUOTIENT RING OF COMMUTATIVE RINGS WITH ACC⊥ON ANNIHILATOR IDEALS

The author concludes that every commutative ring with ascending chain conditionan annihilator ideals has a Kasch quotient ring,which generalizes the Theorem thatevery commutative noetherian ring has a Kasch quosient ring.If follows that if R is acommutative ring with acc~⊥,then that Q(R)is semiprimary is equivalent to that it isperfect,or to that R satisfies regular condition.Besides,that Q(R)is quasi-frobeniusequals that Q(R)is FPF or PF,and that Q(R)is artinian equals that B/N,are of finitedimension,i=1,2,…,n.N_i,=J~i∩R.     

TOPOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATIONS OF THE EXTENDING PROPERTY OF RINGS

A commutative ring R is called extending if every ideal is essential in a direct summand of RR. The following results are proved： （1） C（X） is an extending ring if and only if X is extremely disconnected; （2） Spec（R） is extremely disconnected and R is semiprime if and only if R is a nonsingular extending ring; （3） Spec（R） is extremely disconnected if and only if R/N（R） is an extending ring, where N（R） consists of all nilpotent elements of R. As an application, it is also shown that any Gelfand nonsingular extending ring is clean.     

Triangular Matrix Representations of Rings of Generalized Power Series

Let R be a ring and S a cancellative and torsion-free monoid and 〈 a strict order on S. If either （S,≤） satisfies the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ S, or R is reduced, then the ring [[R^S,≤]] of the generalized power series with coefficients in R and exponents in S has the same triangulating dimension as R. Furthermore, if R is a PWP ring, then so is [[R^S,≤]].     

关于w-linked扩环

Let R ■ T be an extension of commutative rings.T is called w-linked over R if T as an R-module is a w-module.In the case of R ■ T ■ Q 0 （R）,T is called a w-linked overring of R.As a generalization of Wang-McCsland-Park-Chang Theorem,we show that if R is a reduced ring,then R is a w-Noetherian ring with w-dim（R） 1 if and only if each w-linked overring T of R is a w-Noetherian ring with w-dim（T ） 1.In particular,R is a w-Noetherian ring with w-dim（R） = 0 if and only if R is an Artinian ring.     

Generalized PP and Zip Subrings of Matrix Rings

Let R be an abelian ring. We consider a special subring An, relative to α2,…, αn∈ REnd（R）, of the matrix ring Mn（R） over a ring R. It is shown that the ring An is a generalized right PP-ring （right zip ring） if and only if the ring R is a generalized right PP-ring （right zip ring）. Our results yield more examples of generalized right PP-rings and right ziu rings.     

PP-Rings of Generalized Power Series

Abstract As a generalization of power series rings, Ribenboim introduced the notion of the rings of generalized power series. Let R be a commutative ring, and (S, ≤) a strictly totally ordered monoid. We prove that (1) the ring [[R ^S,≤]] of generalized power series is a PP-ring if and only if R is a PP-ring and every S-indexed subset C of B(R) (the set of all idempotents of R) has a least upper bound in B(R) and (2) if (S, ≤) also satisfies the condition that 0 ≤s for any s∈S, then the ring [[R ^S,≤ ]] is weakly PP if and only if R is weakly PP.

Diagonal reductions of matrices over exchange ideals

In this paper, we introduce related comparability for exchange ideals. Let I be an exchange ideal of a ring R. If I satisfies related comparability, then for any regular matrix A ∈ M _n (I), there exist left invertible U ₁; U ₂ ∈ M _n (R) and right invertible V ₁, V ₂ ∈ M _n (R) such that U ₁ V ₁ AU ₂ V ₂ = diag(e ₁,..., e _n ) for idempotents e ₁,..., e _n ∈ I.     

Partial cancellation of modules

We investigate partial cancellation of modules and show that if an ideal I of an exchange ring R has stable range one, then A⊕B≌A⊕C implies B≌C for all A∈FP (I). The converse is true when R is a regular ring. For an ideal I of a regular ring, we also show that I has stable range one if and only if perspectivity is transitive in L(A) for all A∈ FP (I). These give nontrivial generalizations for unit-regularity. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

On embeddings of some quotient algebras of free sums of Lie algebras

Let (B _i ) _i∈I be a set of Lie algebras; let X be a free Lie algebra; let * X be their free sum; let R be an ideal of F such that R ⋂ B _i = 1 (i ∈ I); let V be a variety of Lie algebras such that V(R) is an ideal of F. Under some restrictions, we construct an embedding of F/V(R) into the verbal wreath product of a free algebra of the variety V with F/R. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 10, No. 4, pp. 235–241, 2004.     

On Ideals of Regular Rings

In this paper, we investigate ideals of regular rings and give several characterizations for an ideal to satisfy the comparability. In addition it is shown that, if I is a minimal two-sided ideal of a regular ring R, then I satisfies the comparability if and only if I is separative. Furthermore, we prove that, for ideals with stable range one, Roth's problem has an affirmative solution. These extend the corresponding results on unit-regularity and one-sided unit-regularity.

THREE NOTES ON NICE EXTENSION DOMAINS

The first note shows that the integral closure L′ of certain localities L over a local domain R are unmixed and analytically unramified, even when it is not assumed that R has these properties. The second note considers a separably generated extension domain B of a regular domain A, and a sufficient condition is given for a prime ideal p in A to be unramified with respect to B (that is, p B is an intersection of prime ideals and B/P is separably generated over A/p for all P ∈ Ass (B/p B)). Then, assuming that p satisfies this condition, a sufficient condition is given in order that all but finitely many q ∈ S = {q ∈ Spec(A), p ? q and height(q/p) = 1} are unramified with respect to B, and a form of the converse is also considered. The third note shows that if R′ is the integral closure of a semi-local domain R, then I(R) = ∩{R′ _p′ ;p′ ∈ Spec(R′) and altitude(R′/p′) = altitude(R′) ? 1} is a quasi-semi-local Krull domain such that: (a) height(N ^*) = altitude(R) for each maximal ideal N ^* in I(R); and, (b) I(R) is an H-domain (that is, altitude(I(R)/p ^*) = altitude(I(R)) ? 1 for all height one p ^* ∈ Spec(I(R))). Also, K = ∩{R _p ; p ∈ Spec(R) and altitude(R/p) = altitude(R) ? 1} is a quasi-semi-local H-domain such that height (N) = altitude(R) for all maximal ideals N in K.     

Universal Lying-Over Rings

A (commutative unital) ring R is said to satisfy universal lying-over (ULO) if each injective ring homomorphism R → T satisfies the lying-over property. If R satisfies ULO, then R = tq(R), the total quotient ring of R. If a reduced ring satisfies ULO, it also satisfies Property A. If a ring R = tq(R) satisfies Property A and each nonminimal prime ideal of R is an intersection of maximal ideals, R satisfies ULO. If 0 ≤ n ≤ ∞, there exists a reduced (resp., nonreduced) n-dimensional ring satisfying ULO. The A + B construction is used to show that if 2 ≤ n < ∞, there exists an n-dimensional reduced ring R such that R = tq(R), R satisfies Property A, but R does not satisfy ULO.     

The associated primes of local cohomology modules over rings of small dimension

Let R be a commutative Noetherian local ring of dimension d, I an ideal of R, and M a finitely generated R-module. We prove that the set of associated primes of the local cohomology module H ⁱ _I (M) is finite for all i≥ 0 in the following cases: (1) d≤ 3; (2) d= 4 and $R$ is regular on the punctured spectrum; (3) d= 5, R is an unramified regular local ring, and M is torsion-free. In addition, if $d>0$ then H ^{d − 1} _I (M) has finite support for arbitrary R, I, and M. Received: 31 October 2000 / Revised version: 8 January 2001     

The State Space of K 0 of Exchange Rings

ABSTRACT

For a directly finite exchange ring R which satisfies general comparability, we construct all extreme points of the state space S(V(R),? R?), where V(R) denotes the monoid of all isomorphic classes of finitely generated projective R-modules. From this, we further prove that S((K ₀(R),[R])) is affinely homeomorphic to M ₁ ⁺(BS(R)), where BS(R) denotes the spectrum of the Boolean algebra B(R) of all central idempotents in R, and M ⁺ ₁(BS(R)) the set of all probability measures on BS(R). These generalize the corresponding results on regular rings. Particularly, all of our results hold for exchange rings with all the idempotents central.
