Partial Skew Polynomial Rings and Jacobson Rings

In this article we consider rings R with a partial action α of an infinite cyclic group G on R. We generalize the well-known results about Jacobson rings and strongly Jacobson rings in skew polynomial rings and skew Laurent polynomial rings to partial skew polynomial rings and partial skew Laurent polynomial rings.

An Ascending Chain Condition on Wedderburn Radicals

In this note we study the properties of Amitsur's example for Wedderburn radicals, introducing the concept of W _n -reduced rings. The theories of commutative ring and reduced ring are generalized to W _n -reduced rings. We characterize the W _n -reduced property and study properties of W _n -reduced rings. It is shown that the classes of semi-commutative rings, W _n -reduced rings, and 2-primal rings are in a strictly increasing order. We extend the class of W _n -reduced rings, observing various kinds of extensions containing classical quotient rings, polynomial rings, and power series rings.

McCoy Rings Relative to a Monoid

For a monoid M, we introduce M-McCoy rings, which are a generalization of McCoy rings and M-Armendariz rings; and investigate their properties. We first show that all reversible rings are right M-McCoy, where M is a u.p.-monoid. We also show that all right duo rings are right M-McCoy, where M is a strictly totally ordered monoid. Then we show that semicommutative rings and 2-primal rings do have a property close to the M-McCoy condition. Moreover, it is shown that a finitely generated Abelian group G is torsion free if and only if there exists a ring R such that R is G-McCoy. Consequently, several known results on right McCoy rings are extended to a general setting.     

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.     

Free Pairs of Bicyclic Units in the Integral Group Ring of the Dihedral Group

Hirano studied the quasi-Armendariz property of rings, and then this concept was generalized by some authors, defining quasi-Armendariz property for skew polynomial rings and monoid rings. In this article, we consider unified approach to the quasi-Armendariz property of skew power series rings and skew polynomial rings by considering the quasi-Armendariz condition in mixed extension ring [R; I][x; σ], introducing the concept of so-called (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz ring, where R is an associative ring equipped with an endomorphism σ and I is an σ-stable ideal of R. We study the ring-theoretical properties of (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz rings, and we obtain various necessary or sufficient conditions for a ring to be (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz. Constructing various examples, we classify how the (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz property behaves under various ring extensions. Furthermore, we show that a number of interesting properties of an (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz ring R such as reflexive and quasi-Baer property transfer to its mixed extension ring and vice versa. In this way, we extend the well-known results about quasi-Armendariz property in ordinary polynomial rings and skew polynomial rings for this class of mixed extensions. We pay also a particular attention to quasi-Gaussian rings.     

On Strong π-Regularity and π-Regularity

Rowen showed that the 2 by 2 full matrix rings over strongly π-regular rings need not be strongly π-regular. In this note we extend Rowen's method to the n by n full matrix rings. Moreover we show that the n by n full matrix rings over π-regular rings need not be π-regular.     

Coherent rings with finite self-FP-injective dimension

In this paper, we generalize the characterization of Gorenstein flat modules over Gorenstein rings to n ? FC rings (coherent rings with finite sdf?FP?injective dimension), and characterize n ? FC rings in terms of Gorenstein flat and projective modules.     

On slightly P-coherent rings

A ring R is called left slightly P-coherent if C is P-injective, for every left R-module exact sequence 0→A→B→C→0 with A and B P-injective. The properties of slightly P-coherent rings and several examples are studied to show that left slightly P-coherent rings fall in between left P-coherent rings and left strongly P-coherent rings. In terms of some derived functors, some homological dimensions over these rings are investigated. As applications, some new characterizations of p.p.rings are given.     

Maximally Prüfer Rings

In this paper we consider six Prüfer-like conditions on a commutative ring R, and introduce seventh condition by defining the ring R to be maximally Prüfer if R _M is Prüfer for every maximal ideal M of R, and we show that the class of such rings lie properly between Prüfer rings and locally Prüfer rings. We give a characterization of such rings in terms of the total quotient ring and the core of the regular maximal ideals. We also find a relationship of such rings with strong Prüfer rings.     

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.     

Baer and Quasi-Baer Properties of Skew Generalized Power Series Rings

Let R be a ring, (S, ≤) a strictly ordered monoid and ω: S → End(R) a monoid homomorphism. The skew generalized power series ring R[[S, ω]] is a common generalization of (skew) polynomial rings, (skew) power series rings, (skew) Laurent polynomial rings, (skew) group rings, and Mal'cev–Neumann Laurent series rings. In this article, we study relations between the (quasi-) Baer, principally quasi-Baer and principally projective properties of a ring R, and its skew generalized power series extension R[[S, ω]]. As particular cases of our general results, we obtain new theorems on (skew) group rings, Mal'cev–Neumann Laurent series rings, and the ring of generalized power series.     

Ore Extensions of Skew Armendariz Rings

Let α be an endomorphism and δ an α-derivation of a ring R. We introduce the notion of skew-Armendariz rings which are a generalization of α-skew Armendariz rings and α-rigid rings and extend the classes of non reduced skew-Armendariz rings. Some properties of this generalization are established, and connections of properties of a skew-Armendariz ring R with those of the Ore extension R[x; α, δ] are investigated. As a consequence we extend and unify several known results related to Armendariz rings.     

MDS codes over finite principal ideal rings

The purpose of this paper is to study codes over finite principal ideal rings. To do this, we begin with codes over finite chain rings as a natural generalization of codes over Galois rings GR(p ^e , l) (including ). We give sufficient conditions on the existence of MDS codes over finite chain rings and on the existence of self-dual codes over finite chain rings. We also construct MDS self-dual codes over Galois rings GF(2 ^e , l) of length n = 2 ^l for any a ≥ 1 and l ≥ 2. Torsion codes over residue fields of finite chain rings are introduced, and some of their properties are derived. Finally, we describe MDS codes and self-dual codes over finite principal ideal rings by examining codes over their component chain rings, via a generalized Chinese remainder theorem.      

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.     

Reversible Group Rings Over Commutative Rings

Let G be a torsion group and R be a commutative ring with identity. We investigate reversible group rings RG over commutative rings, extending results of Gutan and Kisielewicz which characterize all reversible group rings over fields.     

On Strong n-Perfect Rings

In this article we introduce and investigate a particular class of n-perfect rings that we call “strong n-perfect rings.” We are mainly concerned with this class of rings in the context of pullbacks. We also exhibit a class of n-perfect rings that are not strong n-perfect. Finally, we establish the transfer of this notion to the direct product.     

On Rings Whose Reflexive Ideals are Principal

We call a prime Noetherian maximal order R a pseudo-principal ring if every reflexive ideal of R is principal. This class of rings is a broad class properly containing both prime Noetherian pri-(pli) rings and Noetherian unique factorization rings (UFRs). We show that the class of pseudo-principal rings is closed under formation of n × n full matrix rings. Moreover, we prove that if R is a pseudo-principal ring, then the polynomial ring R[x] is also a pseudo-principal ring. We provide examples to illustrate our results.     

Semiprimeness,quasi-Baerness and prime radical of skew generalized power series rings

Let R be a ring, (S,≤) a strictly ordered monoid and ω:S→End(R) a monoid homomorphism. The skew generalized power series ring R[[S,ω]] is a common generalization of (skew) polynomial rings, (skew) power series rings, (skew) Laurent polynomial rings, (skew) group rings, and Mal’cev-Neumann Laurent series rings. In this paper we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the skew generalized power series ring R[[S,ω]] to be a semiprime, prime, quasi-Baer, or Baer ring. Furthermore, we study the prime radical of a skew generalized power series ring R[[S,ω]]. Our results extend and unify many existing results. In particular, we obtain new theorems on (skew) group rings, Mal’cev-Neumann Laurent series rings and the ring of generalized power series.     

Rings whose singular ideals are nil

Abstract

It is well known that when a ring R satisfies ACC on right annihilators of elements, then the right singular ideal of R is nil, in this case, we say R is right nil-singular. Many classes of rings whose singular ideals are nil, but do not satisfy the ACC on right annihilators, are presented and the behavior of them is investigated with respect to various constructions, in particular skew polynomial rings and triangular matrix rings. The class of right nil-singular rings contains π-regular rings and is closed under direct sums. Examples are provided to explain and delimit our results.
