Let (R,m) be a noetherian local ring and let $\mathcal{C}$ be the class of all R-modules M which possess a reflexive submodule U such that M/U is finitely generated. For every R-module $M\in \mathcal{C}$ the canonical embedding $\varphi:…
We give an elementary proof prove of the preservation of the Noetherian condition for commutative rings with unity $R$ having at least one finitely generated ideal $I$ such that the quotient ring is again finitely generated, and $R$ is…
In this paper, we introduce a class of rings in which every nilpotent element is central. This class of rings generalizes so-called reduced rings. A ring $R$ is called {\it central reduced} if every nilpotent element of $R$ is central. For…
Let $R$ be an associative ring. We define a subset $S_{R}^{a}$, where $a\in R$ of $R$ as $S_{R}^{a}=\{b\in R \mid aRb=(0)\}$. Then, the set $P_{R} = \bigcap_{a\in R} S_{R}^{a}$ call it the source of primeness of $R$. We first examine some…
The purpose of this paper is to give a partial positive answer to a question raised by Khurana et al. as to whether a ring $R$ with stable range one and central units is commutative. We show that this is the case under any of the following…
In the present work, a procedure for determining idempotents of a commutative ring having a sequence of ideals with certain properties is presented. As an application of this procedure, idempotent elements of various commutative rings are…
A commutative ring R is locally stable provided that for any $a,b\in R$ such that $aR+bR=R$, there exist some $y\in R$ such that $R/(a+by)R$ has stable range 1.For a Bezout ring $R$, we prove that $R$ is an elementary divisor ring if and…
An element $a$ of a ring $R$ is called \emph{quasipolar} provided that there exists an idempotent $p\in R$ such that $p\in comm^2(a)$, $a+p\in U(R)$ and $ap\in R^{qnil}$. A ring $R$ is \emph{quasipolar} in case every element in $R$ is…
We consider some existing results regarding rings for which the classes of torsion-free and non-singular right modules coincide. Here, a right $R$-module $M$ is non-singular if $xI$ is nonzero for every nonzero $x \in M$ and every essential…
A central question in the theory of hyperplane arrangements is when the complement of a complex arrangement is aspherical. Barkley and Speyer introduced a class of real arrangements that are called "clean," and Yoshinaga proved that every…
We introduce and investigate the so-called D-regularly nil clean rings by showing that these rings are, in fact, a non-trivial generalization of the classical von Neumann regular rings and of the strongly $\pi$-regular rings. Some other…
In this paper we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for strongly group graded rings to be simple. For a strongly group graded ring $R = \bigoplus_{g\in G} R_g$ the grading group $G$ acts, in a natural way, as automorphisms of the…
Let $R$ be a commutative unitary ring. An idempotent in $R$ is an element $e\in R$ with $e^2=e$. The Erd\H{o}s-Burgess constant associated with the ring $R$ is the smallest positive integer $\ell$ (if exists) such that for any given $\ell$…
An important classical result in ZFC asserts that every infinite cardinal number is idempotent. Using this fact, we obtain several algebraic results in this article. The first result asserts that an infinite Abelian group has a proper…
We show that a ring $R$ is regular if $Tor_{i}^{R}(R^{+},k) = 0$ for some $i\geq 1$ assuming further that $R$ is a $\mathbb{N}$-graded ring of dimension $2$ finitely generated over an equi-characteristic zero field $k$. This answers a…
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…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $S \subseteq R$ be a multiplicative set. An ideal $Q$ of $R$ (disjoint from $S$) is said to be $S$-primary if there exists an $s\in S$ such that for all $x,y\in R$ with $xy\in Q$, we have…
We significantly strengthen results on the structure of matrix rings over finite fields and apply them to describe the structure of the so-called weakly $n$-torsion clean rings. Specifically, we establish that, for any field $F$ with either…
In this article, we prove that in a PI-ring (or polynomial identity ring) $S$, for an element $A \in \mathbb{M}_m(S)$ if $A^n= A^{n+1}X$ for some $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $X \in \mathbb{M}_m(S)$, then there exists an element $Y\in…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. An element $r \in R$ is said to be absolutely irreducible in $R$ if for all natural numbers $n>1$, $r^n$ has essentially only one factorization namely $r^n = r \cdots r$. If $r \in R$ is…
