Abstract:
A ring R is a Garcia ring provided that the product of two regular elements is unit-regular. We prove that every regular element in a Garcia ring R is the sum/difference of an idempotent and a unit. Furthermore, we prove that every regular element in a weak Garcia ring is the sum of an idempotent and a one-sided unit. These extend several known theorems on (one-sided) unit-regular rings to wider classes of rings with sum summand property.
