Motivated by the concept of clean ideals, we introduce the notion of weakly clean ideals. We define an ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ to be weakly clean ideal if for any $x\in I$, $x=u+e$ or $x=u-e$, where $u$ is a unit in $R$ and $e$ is an…

An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is called left N-reflexive if for any $a\in$ nil$(R)$, $b\in R$, being $aRb \subseteq I$ implies $bRa \subseteq I$ where nil$(R)$ is the set of all nilpotent elements of $R$. The ring $R$ is called left…

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…

A ring is SSP if the sum of two direct summands is a direct summand. A ring has internal cancellation if every its (von Neumann) regular elements are unit-regular. We show that in an SSP ring having internal cancellation, any regular…

It was proved independently by both Wolfson [An ideal theoretic characterization of the ring of all linear transformations, Amer. J. Math. 75 (1953), 358-386] and Zelinsky [Every Linear Transformation is Sum of Nonsingular Ones, Proc. Amer.…

In this paper we introduced the concept of a ring of stable range 2 which has square stable range 1. We proved that a Hermitian ring $R$ which has (right) square stable range 1 is an elementary divisor ring if and only if $R$ is a duo ring…

Suppose $\mathfrak{R}$ is a $2$,$3$-torsion free unital alternative ring having an idempotent element $e_1$ $\left(e_2 = 1-e_1\right)$ which satisfies $x \mathfrak{R} \cdot e_i = \{0\} \rightarrow x = 0$ $\left(i = 1,2\right)$. In this…

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…

We show that a unital ring is generated by its commutators as an ideal if and only if there exists a natural number $N$ such that every element is a sum of $N$ products of pairs of commutators. We show that one can take $N \leq 2$ for…

In this paper, we consider the N-pure notion. An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is said to be N-pure, if for every $a\in I$ there exists $b\in I$ such that $a(1-b)\in N(R)$, where N(R) is nil radical of $R$. We provide new characterizations for…

We show that a suitable ring with a ``nice'' topology, in which convergent limits of units are units, is an \aleph_0-exchange ring. We generalize the argument to show that a semi-regular ring, R, with a ``nice'' topology, is a full exchange…

A ring $R$ is called right SSP (SIP) if the sum (intersection) of any two direct summands of $R_{R}$ is also a direct summand. Left sides can be defined similarly. The following are equivalent: (1) $R$ is right SSP. (2) $R$ is right C3 and…

In this paper we deal with the problem of computing the sum of the $k$-th powers of all the elements of the matrix ring $\mathbb{M}_d(R)$ with $d>1$ and $R$ a finite commutative ring. We completely solve the problem in the case…

A ring R is called an E-ring if the canonical homomorphism from R to the endomorphism ring End(R_Z) of the additive group R_Z, taking any r in R to the endomorphism left multiplication by r turns out to be an isomorphism of rings. In this…

In this paper, we investigate semirings whose elements are either units or zero-divisors (nilpotents) with many examples. While comparing these semirings with their counterparts in ring theory, we observe that their behavior is different in…

In this paper, we study rings having the property that every right ideal is automorphism-invariant. Such rings are called right $a$-rings. It is shown that (1) a right $a$-ring is a direct sum of a square-full semisimple artinian ring and a…

$R$ is a unital ring with involution. We investigate the characterizations and representations of weighted core inverse of an element in $R$ by idempotents and units. For example, let $a\in R$ and $e\in R$ be an invertible Hermitian…

In this note we show that a ring R is left perfect if and only if every left R-module is weakly supplemented if and only if R is semilocal and the radical of the countably infinite free left R-module has a weak supplement.

We give an explicit and character-free construction of a complete set of orthogonal primitive idempotents of a rational group algebra of a finite nilpotent group and a full description of the Wedderburn decomposition of such algebras. An…

We define and explore in details the class of GUSC rings, that are those rings whose non-invertible elements are uniquely strongly clean. These rings are a common generalization of the so-called USC rings, introduced by Chen-Wang-Zhou in J.…
