If $X$ is a Tychonoff space, $C\left(X\right)$ its ring of real-valued continuous functions. In this paper, we study non-essential ideals in $C\left(X\right)$. Let $a$ be a infinite cardinal, then $X$ is called $a$-Kasch (resp. $\overline{a}$-Kasch) space if given any ideal (resp. $z$-ideal) $I$ with $gen\left(I\right)<a$ then $I$ is a non-essential ideal. We show that $X$ is an ${\aleph }_0$-Kasch space if and only if $X$ is an almost $P$-space and $X$ is an ${\aleph }_1$-Kasch space if and only if $X$ is a pseudocompact and almost $P$-space. Let $C_F\left(X\right)$ denote the socle of $C\left(X\right)$. For a topological space $X$ with only...

In this paper we introduce the notion of the structure space of $\Gamma$-semigroups formed by the class of uniformly strongly prime ideals. We also study separation axioms and compactness property in this structure space.

Left selfdistributive rings (i.e., $xyz=xyxz$) which are semidirect sums of boolean rings and rings nilpotent of index at most 3 are studied.
