We study clean group rings and also the group rings whose every element is a sum of two units. We also prove that if R is an Abelian exchange ring and G is a locally finite group, then the group ring RG has stable range one.

In regard to our recent studies of rings with (strongly, weakly) nil-clean-like properties, we explore in-depth both the structural and characterization properties of those rings whose elements that are not units are weakly nil-clean. Group…

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,…

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…

We define and consider in-depth the so-called $C\Delta$ rings as those rings $R$ whose elements are a sum of an element in $C(R)$ and of an element in $\Delta(R)$. Our achieved results somewhat strengthen these recently obtained by…

A ring element $\,a\in R\,$ is said to be of {\it right stable range one\/} if, for any $\,t\in R$, $\,aR+tR=R\,$ implies that $\,a+t\,b\,$ is a unit in $\,R\,$ for some $\,b\in R$. Similarly, $\,a\in R\,$ is said to be of {\it left stable…

Recall that a ring R is called strongly pi-regular if, for every a in R, there is a positive integer n, depending on a, such that a^n belongs to the intersection of a^{n+1}R and Ra^{n+1}. In this paper we give a further study of the notion…

An element $a\in R$ is provided that there exists an idempotent $e\in R$ such that $a-e\in U(R), ae=ea$ and $eae\in J(eRe)$. In this article, we investigate strongly rad-clean matrices over a commutative local ring. We completely determine…

We call a ring R pointwise semicommutative if for any element a in R either l(a) or r(a) is an ideal of R. A class of pointwise semicommutative rings is a strict generalization of semicommutative rings. Since reduced rings are pointwise…

In this paper we introduce and study the notion of a graded (strongly) nil clean ring which is group graded. We also deal with extensions of graded (strongly) nil clean rings to graded matrix rings and to graded group rings. The question of…

Let $R$ be a ring with unity. The clean graph $\text{Cl}(R)$ of a ring $R$ is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are of the form $(e,u)$, where $e$ is an idempotent element and $u$ is a unit of the ring $R$ and two vertices $(e,u)$,…

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 (not necessarily commutative). A left R-module is said to be cotorsion if Ext 1 R (G, M) = 0 for any flat R-module G. It is well known that each pure-injective left R-module is cotorsion, but the converse does not hold: for…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the class of rings for which every indecomposable right module is pure-projective or pure-injective. When $R$ is a Noetherian local commutative ring of maximal ideal $P$, it is proven that $R\in\mathcal{P}$ if and only…

A ring $R$ is trinil clean if every element in $R$ is the sum of a tripotent and a nilpotent. If $R$ is a 2-primal strongly 2-nil-clean ring, we prove that $M_n(R)$ is trinil clean for all $n\in {\Bbb N}$. Furthermore, we show that the…

Motivated by the concept of clean index of rings, we introduce the concept of weak clean index of rings. For any element $a$ of a ring $R$ with unity, we define $ \chi(a)=\{e\in R\mid e^2=e\text{ and }a-e \mbox{ or } a+e \mbox{ is a…

We define the class of {\it unit uniquely clean} rings ({\it UnitUC} for short), that is a common generalization of uniquely clean rings and strongly nil clean rings. Abelian {\it UnitUC} rings are uniquely clean and {\it UnitUC} rings with…

In this paper we define and study quasipolar general rings (with or without identity) and extend many of the basic results to the wider class. We obtain some new characterizations of quasipolar and strongly $\pi$-regular elements by using…

A ring R is Zhou nil-clean if every element in R is the sum of two tripotents and a nilpotent that commute. Let R be a Zhou nil-clean ring. If R is 2-primal (of bounded index), we prove that every square matrix over R is the sum of two…

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…
