We define and examine the class of {\it strongly \( J^{\#} \)-clean rings} consisting of those rings $R$ such that each element of $R$ is the sum of an idempotent from $R$ and an element from $J^{\#}(R)$ that commute with each other. More…

Let $a$ be a regular element of a ring $R$. If either $K:=\rm{r}_R(a)$ has the exchange property or every power of $a$ is regular, then we prove that for every positive integer $n$ there exist decompositions $$ R_R = K \oplus X_n \oplus Y_n…

We define two types of rings, namely the so-called CSNC and NCUC that are those rings whose clean elements are strongly nil-clean, respectively, whose nil-clean elements are uniquely clean. Our results obtained in this paper somewhat expand…

A ring is said to satisfy the $2$-nil-sum property if every non central-unit is the sum of two nilpotents. We prove that a ring satisfies the $2$-nil-sum property iff it is either a simple ring with the $2$-nil-sum property or a commutative…

In this article, we introduce the concept of nilpotent graph of a finite commutative ring. The set of all non nilpotent elements of a ring is taken as the vertex set and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their sum is nilpotent. We…

A ring $R$ is called strongly clean if every element of $R$ is the sum of a unit and an idempotent that commute with each other. A recent result of Borooah, Diesl and Dorsey \cite{BDD05a} completely characterized the commutative local rings…

Let $R$ be a finite ring with identity. The idempotent graph $I(R)$ is the graph whose vertex set consists of the non-trivial idempotent elements of $R$, where two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy = yx = 0$. The…

Some variations of $\pi$-regular and nil clean rings were recently introduced in \cite{5,8,7}, respectively. In this paper, we examine the structure and relationships between these classes of rings. Specifically, we prove that $(m,…

Motivated by Hirano-Tominaga's work \cite{HT} on rings for which every element is a sum of two idempotents and by de Seguins Pazzis's results \cite{de} on decomposing every matrix over a field of positive characteristic as a sum of…

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…

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…

We characterize the nil clean matrix rings over fields. As a by product, it is proved that the full matrix rings with coefficients in commutative nil-clean rings are nil-clean, and we obtain a complete characterization of the finite rank…

The behavior of nilpotents can reveal valuable information about the algebra. We give a simple proof of a classic result that a finite ring is commutative if all its nilpotents lie in the center.

A finite group $G$ is said to have the nilpotent decomposition property (ND) if for every nilpotent element $\alpha$ of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ one has that $\alpha e$ also belong to $\mathbb{Z}[G]$, for every primitive…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $k$ is a field of characteristic $p>0$. We consider the complete cohomology ring $\mathcal{E}_M^* = \sum_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} \widehat{Ext}^n_{kG}(M,M)$. We show that the ring has two distinguished…

Idempotents dominate the structure theory of rings. The Peirce decomposition induced by an idempotent provides a natural environment for defining and classifying new types of rings. This point of view offers a way to unify and to expand the…

In this paper, several equivalent conditions on the Drazin invertibility of product and difference of idempotents are obtained in a ring. Some results in Banach algebra are extended to the ring case.

We provide a new proof that the upper nilradical of a compact ring coincides with the sum of its left nil ideals using the properties of orthogonal idempotents in compact rings.

This paper introduces and studies nil-reversible rings wherein we call a ring R nil-reversible if the left and right annihilators of every nilpotent element of R are equal. Reversible rings (and hence reduced rings) form a proper subclass…

A ring $R$ is strongly clean provided that every element in $R$ is the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commutate. Let $T_n(R,\sigma)$ be the skew triangular matrix ring over a local ring $R$ where $\sigma$ is an endomorphism of $R$. We…
