On the $S$-version of some special elements in commutative rings

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce and study the SS-versions of several fundamental elements in commutative rings. Specifically, for a commutative ring RR with identity and a multiplicative subset SS, we define and investigate the notions of SS-invertible, SS-idempotent, SS-von Neumann regular, and SS-π\pi-regular elements. We establish their basic properties, interrelations, and structural inclusions, and use them to characterize classes of rings. Special attention is given to the uniform SS-counterparts of Boolean and π\pi-regular rings, where we provide examples distinguishing these from their classical analogues. Several transfer results under homomorphisms and direct product constructions are established, and connections with existing SS-counterparts (uniformly SS-von Neumann regular, uniformly SS-Artinian, etc.) are highlighted. Throughout the paper, we point out several open problems, offering directions for further research.
