Let  be the set of nonnegative integers and  the ring of integers. Let  be the ring of  matrices over  generated by the following two matrices: one obtained from the identity matrix by shifting the ones one position to the right and the other one position down. This ring plays an important role in the study of directly finite rings. Calculation of invertible and idempotent elements of  yields that the subrings generated by them coincide. This subring is the sum of the ideal  consisting of...

We give a comment to Theorem 1.1 published in our paper “Ring elements as sums of units” [Cent. Eur. J.

In 1950 N. Jacobson proved that if u is an element of a ring with unit such that u has more than one right inverse, then it has infinitely many right inverses. He also mentioned that I. Kaplansky proved this in another way. Recently, K. P. Shum and Y. Q. Gao gave a new (non-constructive) proof of the Kaplansky-Jacobson theorem for monoids admitting a ring structure. We generalize that theorem to monoids without any ring structure and we show the consequences of the generalized Kaplansky-Jacobson...
