Motivated by some recent results on Lie ideals, it is proved that if $L$ is a Lie ideal of a simple ring $R$ with center $Z(R)$, then $L\subseteq Z(R)$, $L=Z(R)a+Z(R)$ for some noncentral $a\in L$, or $[R, R]\subseteq L$, which gives a…

Let $R$ be a prime ring with center $Z(R)$ and with involution $*$. Given an additive subgroup $A$ of $R$, let $T(A):=\{x+x^*\mid x\in A\}$ and $K_0(A):=\{x-x^*\mid x\in A\}$. Let $L$ be a non-abelian Lie ideal of $R$. It is proved that if…

Let R be a prime ring of H a generalized derivation and L a noncentral lie ideal of R. We show that if l^sH(l)l^t in Z(R) for all lin2 L, where s, t> 0 are fixed integers, then H(x) = bx for some b in C, the extended centroid of R, or R…

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…

In this paper some results on the Lie structure of prime superalgebras are discussed. We prove that, with the exception of some special cases, for a prime superalgebra, $A$, over a ring of scalars $\Phi$ with $1/2\in \Phi$, if $L$ is a Lie…

We prove conditions ensuring that a Lie ideal or an invariant additive subgroup in a ring contains all additive commutators. A crucial assumption is that the subgroup is fully noncentral, that is, its image in every quotient is noncentral.…

It is known that every nonzero Jordan ideal of $2$-torsion free semiprime rings contains a nonzero ideal. In this paper we show that also any square closed Lie ideal of a $2$-torsion free prime ring contains a nonzero ideal. This can be…

Just infinite algebras have been considered from various perspectives; a common thread in these treatments is that the notion of just infinite is an extension of the notion of simple. We reinforce this generalization by considering some…

We study the ring extensions R \subseteq T having the same set of prime ideals provided Nil(R) is a divided prime ideal. Some conditions are given under which no such T exist properly containing R. Using idealization theory, the examples…

We show that every proper, dense ideal in a C*-algebra is contained in a prime ideal. It follows that a subset generates a C*-algebra as a not necessarily closed ideal if and only if it is not contained in any prime ideal. This allows us to…

A ring $R$ with center $C$ is said to be centrally essential if the module $R_C$ is an essential extension of the module $C_C$. In this paper, we study properties of ideals of centrally essential rings, centrally essential quaternion…

In recent years, centrally essential rings have been intensively studied in ring theory. In particular, they find applications in homological algebra, group rings, and the structural theory of rings. The class of essentially central rings…

It is proved that the ring $R$ with center $Z(R)$, such that the module $R_{Z(R)}$ is an essential extension of the module $Z(R)_{Z(R)}$, is not necessarily right quasi-invariant, i.e., maximal right ideals of the ring $R$ are not…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with nonzero identity. Let $\mathcal{I}(R)$ be the set of all ideals of $R$ and let $\delta : \mathcal{I}(R)\longrightarrow \mathcal{I}(R)$ be a function. Then $\delta$ is called an expansion function of ideals…

Completely prime right ideals are introduced as a one-sided generalization of the concept of a prime ideal in a commutative ring. Some of their basic properties are investigated, pointing out both similarities and differences between these…

Let R be a prime ring with center Z(R) and extended centroid C, H a non-zero generalized derivation of R and n>1 a fixed integer. In this paper we study the situations: (1) H(u2)n-H(u)2n in C for all u in L, where L is a non-central Lie…

Armendariz and semicommutative rings are generalizations of reduced rings. In \cite{IN}, I.N. Herstein introduced the notion of a hypercenter of a ring to generalize the center subclass. For a ring $R$, an element $a \in R$ is called…

We study certain (two-sided) nil ideals and nilpotent ideals in a Lie nilpotent ring R. Our results lead us to showing that the prime radical rad(R) of R comprises the nilpotent elements of R, and that if L is a left ideal of R, then…

Solvable Lie algebras having at least one Abelian descending central ideal are studied. It is shown that all such Lie algebras can be built up from canonically defined ideals. The nature of such ideals is elucidated and their construction…
