A unital ring is called clean (resp. strongly clean) if every element can be written as the sum of an invertible element and an idempotent (resp. an invertible element and an idempotent that commutes). T.Y. Lam proposed a question: which…
We examine those matrix rings whose entries lie in periodic rings equipped with some additional properties. Specifically, we prove that the famous Diesl's question whether or not $R$ being nil-clean implies that $\mathbb{M}_n(R)$ is…
A longstanding open question is whether every strongly clean ring (ring in which every element is strongly clean, i.e., is the sum of an idempotent and a unit which commute with each other) is Dedekind-finite (has the property that every…
It is proved that a commutative ring is clean if and only if it is Gelfand with a totally disconnected maximal spectrum. Commutative rings for which each indecomposable module has a local endomorphism ring are studied. These rings are clean…
We consider in-depth and characterize in certain aspects the class of so-called {\it strongly NUS-nil clean rings}, that are those rings whose non-units are {\it square nil-clean} in the sense that they are a sum of a nilpotent and a…
In this paper, strongly clean ring defined by W. K. Nicholson in 1999 has been generalized to n-strongly clean, {\Sigma}-strongly clean and with the help of example it has been shown that there exists a ring, which is n-strongly clean and…
Motivated by the concept of clean ideals, we introduce the notion of nil clean ideals of a ring. We define an ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ to be nil clean ideal if every element of $I$ can be written as a sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent…
Recognizing when a ring is a complete matrix ring is of significant importance in algebra. It is well-known folklore that a ring $R$ is a complete $n\times n$ matrix ring, so $R\cong M_{n}(S)$ for some ring $S$, if and only if it contains a…
It is shown that a commutative B\'ezout ring $R$ with compact minimal prime spectrum is an elementary divisor ring if and only if so is $R/L$ for each minimal prime ideal $L$. This result is obtained by using the quotient space…
{Generalizing the notion of nil cleanness from \cite{D13}, in parallel to \cite{DM14}, we define the concept of {\it weak nil cleanness} for an arbitrary ring. Its comprehensive study in different ways is provided as well. A decomposition…
A ring is called clean if every element is the sum of an invertible element and an idempotent. This paper investigates the cleanness of AW*-algebras. We prove that all finite AW*-algebras are clean, affirmatively solving a question posed by…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity and $C$ be an $R$-coalgebra. The ring $R$ is clean if every $ r\in R $ is the sum of a unit and an idempotent element of $R$. An $R$-module $M$ is clean if the endomorphism ring of $M$ over $R$ is…
An exchange ring $R$ is separative provided that for all finitely generated projective right $R$-modules $A$ and $B$, $A\oplus A\cong A\oplus B\cong B\oplus B\Longrightarrow A\cong B$. Let $R$ be a separative exchange ring in which $2$ is…
A ring is clean (resp. almost clean) if each of its elements is the sum of a unit (resp. regular element) and an idempotent. In this paper we define the analogous notion for *-rings: a *-ring is *-clean (resp. almost *-clean) if its every…
We study those rings in which all invertible elements are weakly nil-clean calling them {\it UWNC rings}. This somewhat extends results due to Karimi-Mansoub et al. in Contemp. Math. (2018), where rings in which all invertible elements are…
A ring $R$ with an involution * is called (strongly) *-clean if every element of $R$ is the sum of a unit and a projection (that commute). All *-clean rings are clean. Va${\rm \check{s}}$ [L. Va${\rm \check{s}}$, *-Clean rings; some clean…
We consider in-depth and characterize in certain aspects those rings whose non-units are strongly nil-clean in the sense that they are a sum of commuting nilpotent and idempotent. In addition, we examine those rings in which the non-units…
Question 3 of [3] asks whether the matrix ring Mn(R) is nil clean, for any nil clean ring R. It is shown that positive answer to this question is equivalent to positive solution for Kothe's problem in the class of algebras over the field…
We completely determine those natural numbers $n$ for which the full matrix ring $M_n(F_2)$ and the triangular matrix ring $T_n(F_2)$ over the two elements field $F_2$ are either n-torsion clean or are almost n-torsion clean, respectively.…
We define the class of {\it CUSC} rings, that are those rings whose clean elements are uniquely strongly clean. These rings are a common generalization of the so-called {\it USC} rings, introduced by Chen-Wang-Zhou in J. Pure \& Applied…
