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.     

Vaught's Conjecture and Group Rings

We discuss Vaught's conjecture for complete theories of modules over some group rings over the integers and other Dedekind domains, and over pullback rings of Dedekind domains.     

Orders in regular rings with minimal condition for principal right ideals

ABSTRACT

A ring R is called an n-clean (resp. Σ-clean) ring if every element in R is n-clean (resp. Σ-clean). Clean rings are 1-clean and hence are Σ-clean. An example shows that there exists a 2-clean ring that is not clean. This shows that Σ-clean rings are a proper generalization of clean rings. The group ring ?_(p) G with G a cyclic group of order 3 is proved to be Σ-clean. The m× m matrix ring M _m (R) over an n-clean ring is n-clean, and the m×m (m>1) matrix ring M _m (R) over any ring is Σ-clean. Additionally, rings satisfying a weakly unit 1-stable range were introduced. Rings satisfying weakly unit 1-stable range are left-right symmetric and are generalizations of abelian π-regular rings, abelian clean rings, and rings satisfying unit 1-stable range. A ring R satisfies a weakly unit 1-stable range if and only if whenever a ₁ R + ˙˙˙ a _m R = dR, with m ≥ 2, a ₁,…, a _m, d ∈ R, there exist u ₁ ∈ U(R) and u ₂,…, u _m ∈ W(R) such that a ₁ u ₁ + ? a _m u _m = Rd.     

Central Units in Metacyclic Integral Group Rings

In this article, we give a method to compute the rank of the subgroup of central units of ? G, for a finite metacyclic group, G, by means of ?-classes and ?-classes. Then we construct a multiplicatively independent set  ? (U(? C _{p, q} )) and by applying our results, we prove that  generates a subgroup of finite index.     

Partial Skew Polynomial Rings and Goldie Rings

We prove that if R is a semiprime ring and α is a partial action of an infinite cyclic group on R, then R is right Goldie if and only if R[x; α] is right Goldie if and only if R?x; α? is right Goldie, where R[x; α] (R?x; α?) denotes the partial skew (Laurent) polynomial ring over R. In addition, R?x; α? is semiprime while R[x; α] is not necessarily semiprime.     

The Normalizer Property for Integral Group Rings of Complete Monomial Groups

Abstract

Let G be a complete monomial group with nilpotent base, namely, G = N wr Sym _m , the wreath product of a finite nilpotent group N with the symmetric group on m letters. Then G satisfies the normalizer conjecture for ?G.     

Group Identities and Prime Rings Generated by Units

Abstract

Let R be a prime ring and U(R) the group of units of R. We prove that if U(R) generates R and satisfies a group identity,then R is either a domain or a full matrix ring over a finite field.     

Commutativity Conditions for Rings and Generalized 2-CN Rings

Firstly,the commutativity of rings is investigated in this paper.Let R be a ring with identity.Then we obtain the following commutativity conditions: (1) if for each x ∈ R\N(R) and each y ∈ R,(xy)k =xkyk for k =m,m + 1,n,n + 1,where m and n are relatively prime positive integers,then R is commutative;(2) if for each x ∈ R\J(R) and each y ∈ R,(xy)k =ykxk for k =m,m+ 1,m+2,where m is a positive integer,then R is commutative.Secondly,generalized 2-CN rings,a kind of ring being commutative to some extent,are investigated.Some relations between generalized 2-CN rings and other kinds of rings,such as reduced rings,regular rings,2-good rings,and weakly Abel rings,are presented.     

Some Characterizations of VNL Rings

A ring R is said to be von Newmann local (VNL) if for any a ∈ R, either a or 1 ?a is (von Neumann) regular. The class of VNL rings lies properly between exchange rings and (von Neumann) regular rings. We characterize abelian VNL rings. We also characterize and classify arbitrary VNL rings without an infinite set of orthogonal idempotents; and also the VNL rings having a primitive idempotent e such that eRe is not a division ring. We prove that a semiperfect ring R is VNL if and only if for any right uni-modular row (a ₁, a ₂) ∈ R ², one of the a _i 's is regular in R. Formal triangular matrix rings that are VNL are also characterized. As a corollary, it is shown that an upper triangular matrix ring T _n (R) is VNL if and only if n = 2 or 3 and R is a division ring.     

Endomorphism Rings

In this article we construct an affine prime PI ring with a cyclic module whose endomorphism ring is not Jacobson. Then, using similar techniques, we construct an affine prime Noetherian PI ring with a cyclic module whose endomorphism ring is not Noetherian.

J-semicommutative环的性质

环冗称为J—semicommutative若对任意B,b∈R由ab=0可以推得aRb∈J（R）,这里J（R）是环R的Jacobson根．环R是J—semicommutative环当且仅当它的平凡扩张是J—semicommutative环当且仅当它的Don＇oh扩张是J—semicommutative环当且仅当它的Nagata扩张是,一semicommutative环当且仅当它的幂级数环是J—semicommutative环．若R／J（R）是semicommutative环,则可得到R是J-semicommutative环．本文进一步论证了如果,是环月的一个幂零理想,且R／I是J—semicommutative环,则R也是J-semicommutative环最后给出了J—semicommutative环与其他一些常见环的联系

Soc-Injective Rings and Modules*

If M and N are right R-modules, M is called Socle-N-injective (Soc-N-injective) if every R-homomorphism from the socle of N into M extends to N. Equivalently, for every semisimple submodule K of N, any R-homomorphism f : K → M extends to N. In this article, we investigate the notion of soc-injectivity.     

Chains of Rings with Local Formal Fibers

Let (T, M) be a complete local domain containing the integers. Let p ₁ ? p ₂ ? ··· ? p _n be a chain of nonmaximal prime ideals of T such that T _{p n} is a regular local ring. We construct a chain of excellent local domains A _n  ? A _n?1 ? ··· ? A ₁ such that for each 1 ≤ i ≤ n, the completion of A _i is T, the generic formal fiber of A _i is local with maximal ideal p _i , and if I is a nonzero ideal of A _i then A _i /I is complete. We then show that if Q is a nonmaximal prime ideal of T and 1 ≤ h = ht _T Q, then there is a chain of excellent local domains B ₀ ? B ₁ ? ··· ? B _h  ? T such that for every i = 0, 1, 2,…, h we have ht(Q ∩ B _i ) = i, the completion of B _i is isomorphic to T[[X ₁, X ₂,…, X _i ]] where the X _j 's are indeterminants, and the formal fiber of Q ∩ B _i is local.
