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…

This article studies the equation $[A,B]^k = {\rm Id}_n$ for matrices over $\mathbb{C}$, characterizing the pairs $(k,n)$ for which solutions exist via a classical result of Lam and Leung on sums of roots of unity. The problem is next…

This article deals mostly with the following question: when is the classical ring of quotients of a commutative ring a ring of stable range 1? We introduce the concepts of a ring of (von Neumann) regular range 1, a ring of semihereditary…

Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. As analogues of $(*)$-properties introduced by Ghosh, Gupta, and Puthenpurakal, we introduce and study $(\mathrm{A})$-properties, $(\mathrm{B})$-properties, and $(\mathrm{C})$-relations. Using…

We study noncommutative rings whose proper subrings all satisfy the same chain condition. We show that if every proper subring of a ring $R$ is right Noetherian, then $R$ is either right Noetherian or the trivial extension of $\mathbb{Z}$…

A homogeneous ideal $I$ of a polynomial ring $S$ is said to have the Rees property if, for any homogeneous ideal $J \subset S $ which contains $I$, the number of generators of $J$ is smaller than or equal to that of $I$. A homogeneous ideal…

We provide a sufficient condition for a polynomial ring, not necessarily commutative, to have a first-order definition for the rational integers.

By a ring we always mean a commutative ring with identity. It is well known that maximal spectrum of $C(X)$, $C^*(X)$ and any intermediate subrings between $C(X)$ and $C^* (X)$ are homeomorphic and homeomorphic with $\beta X$, the…

Let $k\in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{0\}$. For a commutative ring $R$, the ring of dual numbers of $k$ variables over $R$ is the quotient ring $R[x_1,\ldots,x_k]/ I $, where $I$ is the ideal generated by the set $\{x_ix_j\mid i,j=1,\ldots,k\}$.…

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…

A classical theorem by Jacobson says that a ring in which every element $x$ satisfies the equation $x^n=x$ for some $n>1$ is commutative. According to Birkhoff's Completeness Theorem, if $n$ is fixed, there must be an equational proof of…

In this paper, we focus on the duo ring property via quasinilpotent elements which gives a new kind of generalizations of commutativity. We call this kind of ring qnil-duo. Firstly, some properties of quasinilpotents in a ring are provided.…

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…

A well-known theorem of Wedderburn asserts that a finite division ring is commutative. In a division ring the group of invertible elements is as large as possible. Here we will be particularly interested in the case where this group is as…

In this article we investigate when a homogeneous ideal in a graded ring is normal, that is, when all positive powers of the ideal are integrally closed. We are particularly interested in homogeneous ideals in an N-graded ring generated by…

A proper ideal $P$ of a commutative ring with identity is an almost prime ideal if $ab \in P{\setminus}P^2$ implies $a \in P$ or $b \in P$. In this paper we define almost prime ideals of a noncommutative ring, and provide some equivalent…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring, we say that $\mathcal{A}\subseteq Spec(R)$ has prime avoidance property, if $I\subseteq \bigcup_{P\in\mathcal{A}}P$ for an ideal $I$ of $R$, then there exists $P\in\mathcal{A}$ such that $I\subseteq P$. We…

We prove first-order definability of the prime subring inside polynomial rings, whose coefficient rings are (commutative unital) reduced and indecomposable. This is achieved by means of a uniform formula in the language of rings with…

For a commutative ring $A$ we consider a related graph, $\Gamma(A)$, whose vertices are the unimodular rows of length $2$ up to multiplication by units. We prove that $\Gamma(A)$ is path-connected if and only if $A$ is a…

In this paper, we introduce a strong property $(A)$ and we study the transfer of property $(A)$ and strong property $(A)$ in trivial ring extensions and amalgamated duplication of a ring along an ideal. We also exhibit a class of rings…
