For commutative rings with identity, we introduce and study the concept of semi $r$-ideals which is a kind of generalization of both $r$-ideals and semiprime ideals. A proper ideal $I$ of a commutative ring $R$ is called semi $r$-ideal if…

For a nonempty subset $X$ of a ring $R$, the ring $R$ is called $X$-semiprime if, given $a\in R$, $aXa=0$ implies $a=0$. This provides a proper class of semiprime rings. First, we clarify the relationship between idempotent semiprime and…

The rational, real and complex numbers with their standard operations, including division, are partial algebras specified by the axiomatic concept of a field. Since the class of fields cannot be defined by equations, the theory of…

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity and let $N$ be a nil ideal of $R$. It is shown that units of $R/N$ can be lifted to units in $R$. Under some mild conditions on the ring, a procedure is given to determine those lifted units in a…

We introduce the chain geometry $\Sigma(K,R)$ over a ring $R$ with a distinguished subfield $K$, thus extending the usual concept where $R$ has to be an algebra over $K$. A chain is uniquely determined by three of its points, if, and only…

The covering number of an associative ring $R$ is the minimal number of proper subrings whose union is $R$. We establish a strategy to classify unital rings of a given finite covering number, and obtain a classification of unital rings…

In this paper, we introduce and study a strict generalization of symmetric rings. We call a ring $R \,\,\, 'P-symmetric'$ if for any $a,\, b,\, c\in R,\, abc=0$ implies $bac\in P(R)$, where $P(R)$ is the prime radical of $R$. It is shown…

By a ring groupoid we mean an animated ring whose i-th homotopy groups are zero for all i>1. In this expository note we give an elementary treatment of the (2,1)-category of ring groupoids (i.e., without referring to general animated rings…

Let $\chi(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a monic polynomial whose roots are distinct integers. We study the ideal class monoid and the ideal class group of the ring $\mathbb{Z}[x]/(\chi(x))$. We obtain formulas for the orders of these objects, and…

We describe all possible ways how a ring can be expressed as the union of three of its proper subrings. This is an analogue for rings of a 1926 theorem of Scorza about groups. We then determine the minimal number of proper subrings of the…

We establish new results concerning endomorphisms of a finite chain if the cardinality of the image of such endomorphism is no more than some fixed number k. The semiring of all such endomorphisms can be seen as a k - simplex whose vertices…

We investigate actions of cyclic groups on polynomial rings with two variables, and the minimal free resolution of the corresponding invariant ring. In particular, we fully classify several cases, including the case the defining ideal has…

We introduce the concept of rings of simple range 2. Based on this concept, we build a theory diagonal reduction of matrices over Bezout domain. In particular we show that invariant Bezout domain is an elementary divisor ring if and only if…

The paper studies some properties of the ring of integer-valued quasi-polynomials. On this ring, theory of generalized Euclidean division and generalized GCD are presented. Applications to finite simple continued fraction expansion and…

For any semiring, the concept of k-congruences is introduced, criteria for k-congruences are established, it is proved that there is an inclusion-preserving bijection between k-congruences and k-ideals, and an equivalent condition for the…

The aim of this paper is to study the probability that the commutator of an arbitrarily chosen pair of elements, each from two different subrings of a finite non-commutative ring equals a given element of that ring. We obtain several…

There has arisen in recent years a substantial theory of "multiplier ideals'' in commutative rings. These are integrally closed ideals with properties that lend themselves to highly interesting applications. But how special are they among…

This paper develops links between the Burnside ring of a finite group $G$ and the slice Burnside ring}. The goal is to gain a better understanding of ghost maps, idempotents, prime spectrum of these Burnside rings and connections between…

Matrices over the ring of formal power series are considered. Normal forms with respect to various sub-groups of the two-sided transformations are constructed. The construction is based on the special property of the action: it induces a…

We focus on two important classes of lattices, the well-rounded and the cyclic. We show that every well-rounded lattice in the plane is similar to a cyclic lattice, and use this cyclic parameterization to count planar well-rounded…
