Reversibility of Rings with Respect to the Jacobson Radical

Let R be a ring with identity and J(R) denote the Jacobson radical of R. A ring R is called J-reversible if for any a, \(b \in R\), \(ab = 0\) implies \(ba \in J(R)\). In this paper, we give some properties of J-reversible rings. We prove that some results of reversible rings can be extended to J-reversible rings for this general setting. We show that J-quasipolar rings, local rings, semicommutative rings, central reversible rings and weakly reversible rings are J-reversible. As an application it is shown that every J-clean ring is directly finite.     

Rings Over Which the Class of Gorenstein Flat Modules is Closed Under Extensions

A ring R is called left “GF-closed”, if the class of all Gorenstein flat left R-modules is closed under extensions. The class of left GF-closed rings includes strictly the one of right coherent rings and the one of rings of finite weak dimension.

In this article, we investigate the Gorenstein flat dimension over left GF-closed rings. Namely, we generalize the fact that the class of all Gorenstein flat left modules is projectively resolving over right coherent rings to left GF-closed rings. Also, we generalize the characterization of Gorenstein flat left modules (then of Gorenstein flat dimension of left modules) over right coherent rings to left GF-closed rings. Finally, using direct products of rings, we show how to construct a left GF-closed ring that is neither right coherent nor of finite weak dimension.     

Finite rings in which commutativity is transitive

A ring is called commutative transitive if commutativity is a transitive relation on its nonzero elements. Likewise, it is weakly commutative transitive (wCT) if commutativity is a transitive relation on its noncentral elements. The main topic of this paper is to describe the structure of finite wCT rings. It is shown that every such ring is a direct sum of an indecomposable noncommutative wCT ring of prime power order, and a commutative ring. Furthermore, finite indecomposable wCT rings are either two-by-two matrices over fields, local rings, or basic rings with two maximal ideals. We characterize finite local rings as generalized skew polynomial rings over coefficient Galois rings; the associated automorphisms of the Galois ring give rise to a signature of the local ring. These are then used to further describe the structure of finite local and wCT basic rings.     

On Pierce Problem for Reduced <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Groups

One of the problems in the study of Abelian groups and their endomorphism rings is the problem of constructing an appropriate structural theory. The structural theorems obtained for Abelian groups and their endomorphism rings allowto reduce the study of complex objects to simpler ones. A radical is one of the tools possessing this property. In this paper, we describe the Jacobson radical of the endomorphism rings of reduced p-groups from some class, which is a solution to the Pierce problem for this class of groups.     

Some remarks on one-sided regularity

A ring is said to be right (resp., left) regular-duo if every right (resp., left) regular element is regular. The structure of one-sided regular elements is studied in various kinds of rings, especially, upper triangular matrix rings over one-sided Ore domains. We study the structure of (one-sided) regular-duo rings, and the relations between one-sided regular-duo rings and related ring theoretic properties.     

Topological Rings of Quotients and Rings Without Open Left Ideals

Simple locally compact rings without open left ideals were considered in [13] and general locally compact rings without open left ideals were studied extensively in [5] and [6]. We remove the hypothesis of local compactness and consider topological rings A without open left ideals but containing an open subring R. In section 4 we show that under these conditions A is completely determined by R. More precisely A can be identified with the topological ring of quotients C(R) introduced in [8]. As an R-module _RA is topologically isomorphic to I_*(_RR), the topological injective hull of _RR. The last statement was proved in [6] for A locally compact and R compact. Section 5 gives a characterization of those linearly topologized rings R that can be openly embedded into a ring A without open left ideals. In particular we shall show that the open left ideals form an idempotent ideal filter with quotient ring A. In section 6 we consider the class ? of all topological rings that can be openly embedded into a topological ring without open left ideals. If we restrict our attention to linearly topologized rings, then ? is Morita-invariant. In section 2 we construct a topological ring of quotients Q_*(R) and prove that it coincides with the ring C(R) of [8].     

Essentially nilpotent rings

In this note we introduce a class of nil rings (called essentially nilpotent) which properly contains the class of nilpotent rings. A nil ring is said to be essentially nilpotent if it contains an essential right ideal which is nilpotent. Various properties of essentially nilpotent rings are investigated. A nil ring is essentially nilpotent if and only if it contains an essential right ideal which is leftT-nilpotent.     

Envelopes of commutative rings

Given a significative class ℱ of commutative rings, we study the precise conditions under which a commutative ring R has an ℱ-envelope. A full answer is obtained when ℱ is the class of fields, semisimple commutative rings or integral domains. When ℱ is the class of Noetherian rings, we give a full answer when the Krull dimension of R is zero and when the envelope is required to be epimorphic. The general problem is reduced to identifying the class of non-Noetherian rings having a monomorphic Noetherian envelope, which we conjecture is the empty class.     

A note on the existence of non-cyclic free subgroups in division rings

A division ring D is said to be weakly locally finite if for every finite subset ${S \subset D}$ , the division subring of D generated by S is centrally finite. It is known that the class of weakly locally finite division rings strictly contains the class of locally finite division rings. In this note we prove that every non-central subnormal subgroup of the multiplicative group of a weakly locally finite division ring contains a non-cyclic free subgroup. This generalizes the previous result by Gonçalves for centrally finite division rings.     

Rings with linearly ordered right annihilators

We introduce the class of lineal rings, defined by the property that the lattice of right annihilators is linearly ordered. We obtain results on the structure of these rings, their ideals, and important radicals; for instance, we show that the lower and upper nilradicals of these rings coincide. We also obtain an affirmative answer to the Köthe Conjecture for this class of rings. We study the relationships between lineal rings, distributive rings, Bézout rings, strongly prime rings, and Armendariz rings. In particular, we show that lineal rings need not be Armendariz, but they fall not far short.

Quaternion rings and octonion rings

In this paper, for rings R, we introduce complex rings ?(R), quaternion rings ?(R), and octonion rings O(R), which are extension rings of R; R ? ?(R) ? ?(R) ? O(R). Our main purpose of this paper is to show that if R is a Frobenius algebra, then these extension rings are Frobenius algebras and if R is a quasi-Frobenius ring, then ?(R) and ?(R) are quasi-Frobenius rings and, when Char(R) = 2, O(R) is also a quasi-Frobenius ring.     

Weakly Special Classes of Semiprime Rings

This paper investigates closure properties possessed by certain classes of finite subdirect products of prime rings. If ℳ is a special class of prime rings then the class ℳ_∞ of all finite subdirect products of rings in ℳ is shown to be weakly special. A ring S is said to be a right tight extension [resp. tight extension] of a subring R if every nonzero right ideal [resp. right ideal and left ideal] of S meets R nontrivially. Every hereditary class of semiprime rings closed under tight extensions is weakly special. Each of the following conditions imposed on a semiprime ring yields a hereditary class closed under right tight extensions: ACC on right annihilators; finite right Goldie dimension; right Goldie. The class of all finite subdirect products of uniformly strongly prime rings is shown to be closed under tight extensions, answering a published question. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

How far can we go with Amitsur’s theorem in differential polynomial rings?

A well-known theorem by S. A. Amitsur shows that the Jacobson radical of the polynomial ring R[x] equals I[x] for some nil ideal I of R. In this paper, however, we show that this is not the case for differential polynomial rings, by proving that there is a ring R which is not nil and a derivation D on R such that the differential polynomial ring R[x;D] is Jacobson radical. We also show that, on the other hand, the Amitsur theorem holds for a differential polynomial ring R[x;D], provided that D is a locally nilpotent derivation and R is an algebra over a field of characteristic p > 0. The main idea of the proof introduces a new way of embedding differential polynomial rings into bigger rings, which we name platinum rings, plus a key part of the proof involves the solution of matrix theory-based problems.     

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.     

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.
