We introduce left and right series of left semi-braces. This allows to define left and right nilpotent left semi-braces. We study the structure of such semi-braces and generalize some results, known for skew left braces, to left…

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…

An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is square stable if $aR+bR=R$ with $a\in I$ and $b\in R$ implies that $a^2+by$ is invertible in $I$ for some $y\in I$. We prove that an exchange ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is square stable if and only if for any…

The coincidence of the set of all nilpotent elements of a ring with its prime radical has a module analogue which occurs when the zero submodule satisfies the radical formula. A ring $R$ is 2-primal if the set of all nilpotent elements of…

In this paper all rings are commutative. We prove some new results on flat epimorphisms of rings and pointwise localizations. Especially among them, it is proved that a ring $R$ is an absolutely flat (von-Neumann regular) ring if and only…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and S a multiplicative subset of R. The aim of this paper is to study the class of commutative rings in which every S-flat module is flat (resp., projective). An R-module M is said to be S-flat if…

A ring $R$ is (strongly) 2-nil-clean if every element in $R$ is the sum of two idempotents and a nilpotent (that commute). Fundamental properties of such rings are discussed. Let $R$ be a 2-primal ring. If $R$ is strongly 2-nil-clean, we…

Let $R$ be a ring and $M$ be a right $R$-module. $M$ is called neat-flat if any short exact sequence of the form $0\to K\to N\to M\to 0$ is neat-exact i.e. any homomorphism from a simple right $R$-module $S$ to $M$ can be lifted to $N$. We…

A ring $R$ is called left $k$-cyclic if every left $R$-module is a direct sum of indecomposable modules which are homomorphic image of $_{R}R^k$. In this paper, we give a characterization of left $k$-cyclic rings. As a consequence, we give…

Ideal series of semigroups play an important role in the examination of semigroups which have proper two-sided ideals. But the corresponding theorems cannot be used when left simple (or right simple or simple) semigroups are considered. So…

An element in a ring $R$ is called uniquely weakly nil-clean if every element in $R$ can be uniquely written as a sum or a difference of a nilpotent and an idempotent in the sense of very idempotents. The structure of the ring in which…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of S-J-ideals in both commutative and noncommutative rings. For a commutative ring R and a multiplicatively closed subset S, we show that many properties of J-ideals apply to S-J-ideals and examine…

Negative-index refraction is achieved in a lamellar composite with epsilon-negative (ENG) and mu-negative (MNG) materials stacked alternatively. Based on the effective medium approximation, simultaneously negative effective permittivity and…

In 2011, Khurana, Lam and Wang define the following property. (*)A commutative unital ring A satisfies the property ''power stable range one'' if for all a, b $\in$ A with aA + bA = A there are an integer N = N (a, b) $\ge$ 1 and $\lambda$…

For a polynomial $u(x)$ in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $r\in\mathbb{Z}$, we consider the orbit of $u$ at $r$ denoted and defined by $\mathcal{O}_u(r):=\{u^{(n)}(r)~|~n\in\mathbb{N}\}$. Here we study polynomials for which $0$ is in the orbit, and we…

It is known that any torsion element in a lambda-ring is nilpotent. In this note we deduce a sharp estimate for the nilpotence degree of such an element.

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…

Let R be an associative ring.In the paper we study n-generalized commutators of rings and prove that if R is a noncommutative prime ring and n > 2, then every nonzero n-generalized Lie ideal of R contains a nonzero ideal. Therefore, if R is…

Irreducible decompositions of monomial ideals in polynomial rings over a field are well-understood. In this paper, we investigate decompositions in the set of monomial ideals in the semigroup ring A[\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^d] where A is an…

This paper introduces and studies a new class of rings called {\it $U\sqrt{\Delta}$-rings}. A ring $R$ is $U\sqrt{\Delta}$ if every non-unit element can be written as the product of a unit and an element from $\sqrt{\Delta(R)}$, where…
