In this paper, we introduce a subclass of strongly clean rings. Let $R$ be a ring with identity, $J$ be the Jacobson radical of $R$, and let $J^{\#}$ denote the set of all elements of $R$ which are nilpotent in $R/J$. An element $a\in R$ is called very $J^{\#}$-clean provided that there exists an idempotent $e\in R$ such that $ae=ea$ and $a-e$ or $a+e$ is an element of $J^{\#}$. A ring $R$ is said to be very $J^{\#}$-clean in case every element in $R$ is very $J^{\#}$-clean. We prove that every very $J^{\#}$-clean ring is strongly $\pi$-rad clean and has stable range one. It is shown...

A ring $R$ is defined to be left almost Abelian if $ae=0$ implies $aRe=0$ for $a\in N\left(R\right)$ and $e\in E\left(R\right)$, where $E\left(R\right)$ and $N\left(R\right)$ stand respectively for the set of idempotents and the set of nilpotents of $R$. Some characterizations and properties of such rings are included. It follows that if $R$ is a left almost Abelian ring, then $R$ is $\pi$-regular if and only if $N\left(R\right)$ is an ideal of $R$ and $R/N\left(R\right)$ is regular. Moreover it is proved that (1) $R$ is an Abelian ring if and only if $R$ is a left almost Abelian left idempotent reflexive ring. (2) $R$ is strongly...

Si considerano le estensioni chiuse $B$ di un $R$-modulo $A$ mediante un $R$-modulo $C$ nel caso in cui $R$ sia un anello semi-artiniano, cioè un anello $R$ con la proprietà che per ogni quoziente $(R{/}_I)\ne 0$ sia soc $(R/I)\ne 0$. Tali estensioni sono caratterizzate dal fatto che $A$ deve essere un sottomodulo semi-puro di $B$.

Let $R$ be a ring. A left $R$-module $M$ is called an FC-module if $M^{+}={Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}}(M,\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})$ is a flat right $R$-module. In this paper, some homological properties of FC-modules are given. Let $n$ be a nonnegative integer and ${\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n$ the class of all left $R$-modules $M$ such that the flat dimension of $M^{+}$ is less than or equal to $n$. It is shown that $({}^{\perp }\left({\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n^{\perp }\right),{\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n^{\perp })$ is a complete cotorsion pair and if $R$ is a ring such that $fd\left({\left({}_{R}R\right)}^{+}\right)\le n$ and ${\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n$ is closed under direct sums, then $({\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n,{\mathrm{ℱ𝒞}}_n^{\perp })$ is a perfect cotorsion pair. In particular, some known results are obtained as corollaries....
