z⁰-Ideals and some special commutative rings
In a commutative ring R, an ideal I consisting entirely of zero divisors is called a torsion ideal, and an ideal is called a z⁰-ideal if I is torsion and for each a ∈ I the intersection of all minimal prime ideals containing a is contained in I. We prove that in large classes of rings, say R, the following results hold: every z-ideal is a z⁰-ideal if and only if every element of R is either a zero divisor or a unit, if and only if every maximal ideal in R (in general, every prime z-ideal) is a z⁰-ideal,...
