A ring R is called Armendariz (resp., Armendariz of power series type) if, whenever in R[x] (resp., in R[[x]]), then for all i and j. This paper deals with a unified generalization of the two concepts (see Definition 2). Some known results on Armendariz rings are extended to this more general situation and new results are obtained as consequences. For instance, it is proved that a ring R is Armendariz of power series type iff the same is true of R[[x]]. For an injective endomorphism σ of a ring...
Starting with some observations on (strong) lifting of idempotents, we characterize a module whose endomorphism ring is semiregular with respect to the ideal of endomorphisms with small image. This is the dual of Yamagata's work [Colloq. Math. 113 (2008)] on a module whose endomorphism ring is semiregular with respect to the ideal of endomorphisms with large kernel.
Let R[x] and R[[x]] respectively denote the ring of polynomials and the ring of power series in one indeterminate x over a ring R. For an ideal I of R, denote by [R;I][x] the following subring of R[[x]]:
[R;I][x]: = : ∃ 0 ≤ n∈ ℤ such that , ∀ i ≥ n.
The polynomial and power series rings over R are extreme cases where I = 0 or R, but there are ideals I such that neither R[x] nor R[[x]] is isomorphic to [R;I][x]. The results characterizing polynomial rings or power series rings with a certain ring...
An element in a ring is clean (or, unit-regular) if it is the sum (or, the product) of an idempotent and a unit, and is nil-clean if it is the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent. Firstly, we show that Jacobson’s lemma does not hold for nil-clean elements in a ring, answering a question posed by Koşan, Wang and Zhou (2016). Secondly, we present new counter-examples to Diesl’s question whether a nil-clean element is clean in a ring. Lastly, we give new examples of unit-regular elements that are...
