On Rings Whose Elements are the Sum of a Unit and a Root of a Fixed Polynomial

A ring R with identity is called “clean” if for every element a ? R there exist an idempotent e and a unit u in R such that a = e + u. Let C(R) denote the center of a ring R and g(x) be a polynomial in the polynomial ring C(R)[x]. An element r ? R is called “g(x)-clean” if r = s + u where g(s) = 0 and u is a unit of R and R is g(x)-clean if every element is g(x)-clean. Clean rings are g(x)-clean where g(x) ? (x ? a)(x ? b)C(R)[x] with a, b ? C(R) and b ? a ? U(R); equivalent conditions for (x² ? 2x)-clean rings are obtained; and some properties of g(x)-clean rings are given.     

关于半局部群环

Let R be an associative ring with identity.R is said to be semilocal if R/J(R)is(semisimple)Artinian,where J(R)denotes the Jacobson radical of R.In this paper,we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the group ring RG to be semilocal,where G is a locally finite nilpotent group.     

On Rings Having McCoy-Like Conditions

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we study the behavior of the couniform (or dual Goldie) dimension of a module under various polynomial extensions. For a ring automorphism σ ∈ Aut(R), we use the notion of a σ-compatible module M _R to obtain results on the couniform dimension of the polynomial modules M[x], M[x ^?1], and M[x, x ^?1] over suitable skew extension rings.

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.     

On Commutativity Theorems for Rings

Some results on commutativity of rings are presented. These results are related with a conjecture of Searcoid and MacHale in 1986 on the commutativity of rings with additional conditions.     

On Prime Rings Satisfying a Certain Generalized Polynomial Identity

Abstract

Recently, Beidar, Fong and Bokut proved that a prime ring satisfies a nontrivial semigroup generalized identity if and only if its central closure is a primitive ring with nonzero socle and the associated skew field is a field. We shall extend their result to the case when generalized polynomial contains three summands.

On Unimodular Rows over Polynomial Rings

Let A be a commutative ring and n 3 a positive integer. In this paper, we consider unimodular rows (f₁(x),..., f_n(x)) over A[x]. We prove that, if the row of the leading coefficients of f_i(x) is unimodular over A and a A, then there exists E_n(A[x]) such that (f₁(x),...,f_n(x)) = (f₁(a),...,f_n(a)). Also, if A is a Noetherian ring with finite Krull dimension and the row of leading coefficients satisfies the same condition, then we give a bound for the length of in terms of elementary transvections.Partially supported by INTAS 93–436EXT and DFG–RFBR grant No. 96–01–00092G.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 19A13, 19B14, 13C10, 13B25, 13F20     

On Skew Triangular Matrix Rings

Let α be a nonzero endomorphism of a ring R, n be a positive integer and T_n(R, α) be the skew triangular matrix ring. We show that some properties related to nilpotent elements of R are inherited by T_n(R, α). Meanwhile, we determine the strongly prime radical, generalized prime radical and Behrens radical of the ring R[x; α]/(x~n), where R[x; α] is the skew polynomial ring.

Uniquely Strongly Clean Group Rings

A ring R is called clean if every element is the sum of an idempotent and a unit,and R is called uniquely strongly clean (USC for short) if every element is uniquely the sum of an idempotent and a unit...     

Linearly McCoy Rings and Their Generalizations

A ring R is called linearly McCoy if whenever linear polynomials f（x）, g（x） e R[x]／{0） satisfy f（x）g（x） ： O, then there exist nonzero elements r, s ∈ R such that f（x）r ： sg（x） =0. For a ring endomorphism α, we introduced the notion of α-skew linearly McCoy rings by considering the polynomials in the skew polynomial ring R[x; α] in place of the ring R[x]. A number of properties of this generalization are established and extension properties of α-skew linearly McCoy rings are given.     

Nil-Clean Rings with Involution

A *-ring R is called a nil *-clean ring if every element of R is a sum of a projection and a nilpotent.Nil *-clean rings are the *-version of nil-clean rings introduced by Diesl.This paper is about the nil *-clean property of rings with emphasis on matrix rings.We show that a *-ring R is nil *-clean if and only if J(R) is nil and R/J(R) is nil*-clean.For a 2-primal *-ring R,with the induced involution given by (aij)* =(a*ij)T,the nil *-clean property of Mn(R) is completely reduced to that of Mn(Z2).Consequently,Mn(R) is not a nil *-clean ring for n =3,4,and M2(R) is a nil *-clean ring if and only if J(R) is nil,R/J(R) is a Boolean ring and a*-a ∈ J(R) for all a ∈ R.     

On CS Rings and QF Rings

In this paper, we shall discuss the conditions for a right SC right CS ring to be a QF ring. In particular, we prove that if R is a right SI right CS ring satisfying the reflexive orthogonal condition (*) and if every CS right R-module is -CS, then R is a QF ring.AMS Subject Classification (1991): 16L30 16L60     

On Polynomial Functions over Finite Commutative Rings

Let R be an arbitrary finite commutative local ring. In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a function over R to be a polynomial function. Before this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for a function to be a polynomial function over some special finite commutative local rings were obtained.     

Bezout Rings,Polynomials, and Distributivity

Let A be a ring, be an injective endomorphism of A, and let be the right skew polynomial ring. If all right annihilator ideals of A are ideals, then R is a right Bezout ring is a right Rickartian right Bezout ring, (e)=e for every central idempotent eA, and the element (a) is invertible in A for every regular aA. If A is strongly regular and n 2, then R/x ⁿ R is a right Bezout ring R/x ⁿ R is a right distributive ring R/x ⁿ R is a right invariant ring (e)=e for every central idempotent eA. The ring R/x ² R is right distributive R/x ⁿ R is right distributive for every positive integer n A is right or left Rickartian and right distributive, (e)=e for every central idempotent eA and the (a) is invertible in A for every regular aA. If A is a ring which is a finitely generated module over its center, then A[x] is a right Bezout ring A[x]/x ² A[x] is a right Bezout ring A is a regular ring.
