Recall that a rng is a ring which is possibly non-unital. In this note, we address the problem whether every finitely generated idempotent rng (abbreviated as irng) is singly generated as an ideal. It is well-known that it is the case for a…

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…

Let $F$ be a field with at least three elements and $G$ a locally finite group. This paper aims to show that if either $F$ is algebraically closed or the characteristic of $F$ is positive, then an element in the group algebra $FG$ is a…

In this article, the concept of nil clean graph of a ring has been generalised to weakly nil clean graph of a ring and graph theoretic properties like girth, clique number, diameter and chromatic index of the graph have been studied for a…

We give an elementary proof of a result which is not as well known as it should be: a ring with a specified finite number of zero divisors is finite, with a precise bound on its order.

A ring $R$ is a UU ring if every unit is unipotent, or equivalently if every unit is a sum of a nilpotent and an idempotent that commute. These rings have been investigated in C\u{a}lug\u{a}reanu \cite{C} and in Danchev and Lam \cite{DL}.…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the finite separability of finitely generated commutative rings. Namely, we prove that every such ring is a finite extension of its torsion ideal $I_k$ where $k$ is square-free, and $I_k$ is a…

Let $S$ be a multiplicatively idempotent congruence-simple semiring. We show that $|S|=2$ if $S$ has a multiplicatively absorbing element. We also prove that if $S$ is finite then either $|S|=2$ or $S\cong End(L)$ or $S^{op}\cong End(L)$…

Some variations of $\pi$-regular and nil clean rings were recently introduced in \cite{5,8,7}, respectively. In this paper, we examine the structure and relationships between these classes of rings. Specifically, we prove that $(m,…

The authors [3] proved that the endomorphism semiring of a nontrivial semilattice is always subdirectly irreducible and described its monolith. Here we prove that the endomorphism semiring of a commutative inverse semigroup with at least…

Shininess and strong politeness are properties related to theory combination procedures. In a paper titled "Many-sorted equivalence of shiny and strongly polite theories", Casal and Rasga proved that for decidable theories, these properties…

A ring $R$ is periodic provided that for any $a\ in R$ there exist distinct elements $m,n \in {\Bbb N}$ such that $a^m=a^n$. We shall prove that periodicity is inherited by a type of generalized matrix rings.We define strongly periodic…

This work is a review of results about centrally essential rings and semirings. A ring (resp., semiring) is said to be centrally essential if it is either commutative or satisfy the property that for any non-central element $a$, there exist…

We define the rank of elements of general unital rings, discuss its properties and give several examples to support the definition. In semiprime rings we give a characterization of rank in terms of invertible elements. As an application we…

An important classical result in ZFC asserts that every infinite cardinal number is idempotent. Using this fact, we obtain several algebraic results in this article. The first result asserts that an infinite Abelian group has a proper…

Let R be a ring (not necessarily commutative ring) with identity. The clean graph Cl(R) of a ring R is a graph with vertices in the form of ordered pair (e; u), where e is an idempotent of the ring R and u is a unit of the ring R. Two…

Idempotents yield much insight in the structure of finite semigroups and semirings. In this article, we obtain some results on (multiplicatively) idempotents of the endomorphism semiring of a finite chain. We prove that the set of all…

Let $R$ be a finite ring with identity. The idempotent graph $I(R)$ is the graph whose vertex set consists of the non-trivial idempotent elements of $R$, where two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy = yx = 0$. The…

In this note we answer the question raised by Han et al. in J. Korean Math. Soc (2014) whether an idempotent isomorphic to a semicentral idempotent is itself semicentral. We show that rings with this property are precisely the…

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…
