E-free objects inE-varieties of inverse rings

We show that for any regular ring (R, +, -), the following conditions are equivalent:

1. (R, -) is inverse.
2. (R, -) isE-solid.
3. (R, -) is locally inverse.
4. (R, -) is locallyE-solid.

We also show that there is ane-free object in eache-variety of inverse rings.
