In this article, we prove some results for lower nil M-Armendariz ring. Let M be a strictly totally ordered monoid and I be a semicommutative ideal of R. If R/I is a lower nil M-Armendariz ring, then R is lower nil M-Armendariz. Similarly,…

We use George Bergman's recent normal form for universally adjoining an inner inverse to show that, for general rings, a nilpotent regular element $x$ need not be unit-regular. This contrasts sharply with the situation for nilpotent regular…

A ring $R$ is called weakly periodic if every $x \in R$ can be written in the form $x = a + b,$ where $a$ is nilpotent and $b^m = b$ for some integer $m > 1.$ The aim of this note is to consider when a nonzero nilpotent element $r$ is the…

We prove that if an involution in a ring is the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent then the idempotent in this decomposition must be 1. As a consequence, we completely characterize weakly nil-clean rings introduced recently in [Breaz,…

A ring $R$ with center $C$ is said to be centrally essential if the module $R_C$ is an essential extension of the module $C_C$. In this paper, we study properties of ideals of centrally essential rings, centrally essential quaternion…

It is known that any torsion element in a lambda-ring is nilpotent. In this note we deduce a sharp estimate for the nilpotence degree of such an element.

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 $R$ is (strongly) 2-nil-clean if every element in $R$ is the sum of two idempotents and a nilpotent (that commute). Fundamental properties of such rings are discussed. Let $R$ be a 2-primal ring. If $R$ is strongly 2-nil-clean, we…

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…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and N(R) be the set of all nilpotent elements of R. The aim of this paper is to introduce and study the notion of nil-prime ideals as a generalization of prime ideals. We say that a proper ideal P…

This paper introduces a class of rings called left nil zero semicommutative rings ( LNZS rings ), wherein a ring R is said to be LNZS if the left annihilator of every nilpotent element of R is an ideal of R. It is observed that reduced…

We introduce the concept of a weak nil clean ring, a generalization of nil clean ring, which is nothing but a ring with unity in which every element can be expressed as sum or difference of a nilpotent and an idempotent. Further if the…

An order is a commutative ring that as an abelian group is finitely generated and free. A commutative ring is reduced if it has no non-zero nilpotent elements. In this paper we use a new tool, namely, the fact that every reduced order has a…

We systematically study those rings whose non-units are a sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent. Some crucial characteristic properties are completely described as well as some structural results for this class of rings are obtained. This…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of almost Armendariz ring which is the generalization of Armendariz ring and discuss some of its properties. We prove that a ring R is almost Armendariz if and only if n X n upper triangular matrix…

In this paper, we say a ring $R$ is Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian provided that any nil ideal is finitely generated. First, we show that the Hilbert basis theorem holds for Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian rings, that is, $R$ is Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian if…

A semiring is said to be centrally essential if for every non-zero element $x$, there exist two non-zero central elements $y, z$ with $xy = z$. We give some examples of non-commutative centrally essential semirings and describe some…

A ring $R$ is a UU ring if every unit is unipotent, or equivalently if every unit is a sum of a nilpotent and an idempotent that commute. These rings have been investigated in C\u{a}lug\u{a}reanu \cite{C} and in Danchev and Lam \cite{DL}.…

Let $R$ be a ring, $e$ an idempotent of $R$ and $\delta(R)$ denote the intersection of all essential maximal right ideals of $R$ which is called Zhou radical. In this paper, the Zhou radical of a ring is applied to the $e$-reduced property…

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…
