A ring $R$ is said to be centrally essential if for every its non-zero element $a$, there exist non-zero central elements $x$ and $y$ with $ax = y$. A ring $R$ is said to be completely centrally essential if all its factor rings are…

A ring $R$ is nil-clean if every element in $R$ is the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent. A ring $R$ is abelian if every idempotent is central. We prove that if $R$ is abelian then $M_n(R)$ is nil-clean if and only if $R/J(R)$ is Boolean…

Given a unital ring $R$ and a two-sided ideal $I$ of $R$, we consider the question of determining when a unit of $R/I$ can be lifted to a unit of $R$. For the wide class of separative exchange ideals $I$, we show that the only obstruction…

Regarding the question of how idempotent elements affect reversible property of rings, we study a version of reversibility depending on idempotents. In this perspective, we introduce {\it right} (resp., {\it left}) {\it $e$-reversible…

A ring R is said to be VNL if for any a in R, either a or 1-a is (von Neumann) regular. The class of VNL rings lies properly between the exchange rings and (von Neumann) regular rings. We characterize abelian VNL rings. We also characterize…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the finite separability of finitely generated commutative rings. Namely, we prove that every such ring is a finite extension of its torsion ideal $I_k$ where $k$ is square-free, and $I_k$ is a…

A commutative ring $R$ is J-stable provided that for any $a\not\in J(R)$, $R/aR$ has stable range one. A ring $R$ is called an elementary divisor ring if every $m\times n$ matrix over $R$ admits diagonal reduction. We prove that a J-stabe…

We show that the Green biset functor $R_{\mathbb{C}}$ of complex characters over $\mathbb{Z}$, is not separable, i.e. it is not projective as a bimodule over itself. Also, we show that $RB_G$, the Burnside biset functor shifted by a finite…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a commutative semigroup, and let $T$ be a sequence of terms from the semigroup $\mathcal{S}$. We call $T$ an (additively) {\sl irreducible} sequence provided that no sum of its some terms vanishes. Given any element $a$…

A famous result due to I. M. Isaacs states that if a commutative ring $R$ has the property that every prime ideal is principal, then every ideal of $R$ is principal. This motivates ring theorists to study commutative rings for which every…

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring, $a\in R$ and $t$ a positive integer. $a^{t}$-reduced $R$-modules and universally $a^{t}$-reduced $R$-modules are defined and their properties given. Known (resp. new) results about reduced $R$-modules…

The notion of clean rings and 2-good rings have many variations, and have been widely studied. We provide a few results about two new variations of these concepts and discuss the theory that ties these variations to objects and properties…

In this article, we introduce the concept of weakly $I$-clean ring, for any ideal $I$ of a ring $R$. We show that, for an ideal $I$ of a ring $R$, $R$ is uniquely weakly $I$-clean if and only if $R/I$ is semi boolean and idempotents can be…

In this note, we show that a ring $R$ is $S$-coherent if and only if every finitely presented $R$-module is $S$-coherent, providing a positive answer to a question proposed in [D. Bennis, M. El Hajoui, {\it On $S$-coherence}, J. Korean…

$\textbf{Theorem 1.3.}$ For a given ring $A$ with right Goldie radical $G(A_A)$, the following conditions are equivalent. $\textbf{1)}$ Every non-singular right $A$-module $X$ which is is injective with respect to some essential right ideal…

{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 commutative ring R is said to be coverable if it is the union of its proper subrings and said to be finitely coverable if it is the union of a finite number of them. In the latter case, we denote by {\sigma}(R) the minimal number of…

A ring $R$ is called clean if every element of $R$ is the sum of a unit and an idempotent. Motivated by a question proposed by Lam on the cleanness of von Neumann Algebras, Va\v{s} introduced a more natural concept of cleanness for…

Following O'Meara's result [Journal of Algebra and Its Applications Vol~\textbf{13}, No. 8 (2014)], it follows that the block matrix $A=\begin{pmatrix} B & 0 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \in M_{n+r}(R)$, $B\in M_n(R)$, $r\ge 1$, over a von Neumann…
