An element of a ring R is called clean if it is the sum of an idempotent and a unit. A ring R is called clean if each of its element is clean. An element r \in R called regular if r = ryr for some y \in R. The ring R is regular if each of…

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,…

An element $x \in R$ is considered (strongly) nil-clean if it can be expressed as the sum of an idempotent $e \in R$ and a nilpotent $b \in R$ (where $eb = be$). If for any $x \in R$, there exists a unit $u \in R$ such that $ux$ is…

This study explores in-depth the structure and properties of the so-called {\it strongly $\Delta$-clean rings}, that is a novel class of rings in which each ring element decomposes into a sum of a commuting idempotent and an element from…

We study those rings in which all invertible elements are weakly nil-clean calling them {\it UWNC rings}. This somewhat extends results due to Karimi-Mansoub et al. in Contemp. Math. (2018), where rings in which all invertible elements are…

A ring $R$ is said to be clean if each element of $R$ can be written as the sum of a unit and an idempotent. $R$ is said to be weakly clean if each element of $R$ is either a sum or a difference of a unit and an idempotent, and $R$ is said…

A ring $R$ is uniquely (strongly) clean provided that for any $a\in R$ there exists a unique idempotent $e\in R \big(\in comm(a)\big)$ such that $a-e\in U(R)$. Let $R$ be a uniquely bleached ring. We prove, in this note, that $R$ is…

We introduce the class weakly nil clean rings, as rings R in which for every a\in R there exist an idempotent e and a nilpotent q such that a-e-q\in eRa. Every weakly nil clean ring is exchange. Weakly nil clean rings contain pi-regular…

A longstanding open question is whether every strongly clean ring (ring in which every element is strongly clean, i.e., is the sum of an idempotent and a unit which commute with each other) is Dedekind-finite (has the property that every…

A ring $R$ is nil-clean if every element in $R$ is the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent. A ring $R$ is abelian if every idempotent is central. We prove that if $R$ is abelian then $M_n(R)$ is nil-clean if and only if $R/J(R)$ is Boolean…

In this article, we introduce the concept of weakly $I$-clean ring, for any ideal $I$ of a ring $R$. We show that, for an ideal $I$ of a ring $R$, $R$ is uniquely weakly $I$-clean if and only if $R/I$ is semi boolean and idempotents can be…

As a generalization of nil clean ideal, we define weak nil clean ideal of a ring. An ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ is weak nil clean ideal if for any $x\in I$, either $x=e+n$ or $x=-e+n$, where $n$ is a nilpotent element and $e$ is an idempotent…

In this paper, we study a new class of rings, called $\sqrt{J}$-clean rings. A ring in which every element can be expressed as the addition of an idempotent and an element from $\sqrt{J(R)}$ is called a $\sqrt{J}$-clean ring. Here,…

We continue the study in-depth of the so-called $n$-UU rings for any $n\geq 1$, that were defined by the first-named author in Toyama Math. J. (2017) as those rings $R$ for which $u^n-1$ is always a nilpotent for every unit $u\in R$.…

We define the class of {\it CUSC} rings, that are those rings whose clean elements are uniquely strongly clean. These rings are a common generalization of the so-called {\it USC} rings, introduced by Chen-Wang-Zhou in J. Pure \& Applied…

A *-ring $R$ is called a strongly nil-*-clean ring if every element of $R$ is the sum of a projection and a nilpotent element that commute with each other. In this article, we show that $R$ is a strongly nil-*-clean ring if and only if…

An element $a$ of a ring $R$ is called perfectly clean if there exists an idempotent $e\in comm^2(a)$ such that $a-e\in U(R)$. A ring $R$ is perfectly clean in case every element in $R$ is perfectly clean. In this paper, we investigate…

In this paper we discuss several constructions that lead to new examples of nil-clean, clean, and exchange rings. A characterization of the idempotents in the algebra defined by a 2-cocycle is given and used to prove some of the algebra's…

A ring $R$ is called clean if every element of $R$ is the sum of a unit and an idempotent. Motivated by a question proposed by Lam on the cleanness of von Neumann Algebras, Va\v{s} introduced a more natural concept of cleanness for…

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…
