Remarks on derivations on semiprime rings.
In an Artinian ring R every element of R can be expressed as the sum of two units if and only if R/J(R) does not contain a summand isomorphic to the field with two elements. This result is used to describe those finite rings R for which Γ(R) contains a Hamiltonian cycle where Γ(R) is the (simple) graph defined on the elements of R with an edge between vertices r and s if and only if r - s is invertible. It is also shown that for an Artinian ring R the number of connected components of the graph...
We completely determine when a ring consists entirely of weak idempotents, units and nilpotents. We prove that such ring is exactly isomorphic to one of the following: a Boolean ring; ; where is a Boolean ring; local ring with nil Jacobson radical; or ; or the ring of a Morita context with zero pairings where the underlying rings are or .
We present new characterizations of the rings for which every element is a sum of two tripotents and a nilpotent that commute. These extend the results of Z. L. Ying, M. T. Koşan, Y. Zhou (2016) and Y. Zhou (2018).
An element in a ring is called CJ if it is of the form , where belongs to the center and is an element from the Jacobson radical. A ring is called CJ if each element of is CJ. We establish the basic properties of CJ rings, give several characterizations of these rings, and connect this notion with many standard elementwise properties such as clean, uniquely clean, nil clean, CN, and CU. We study the behavior of this notion under various ring extensions. In particular, we show that the...
An element in a ring R with identity is said to be strongly nil clean if it is the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent that commute, R is said to be strongly nil clean if every element of R is strongly nil clean. Let C(R) be the center of a ring R and g(x) be a fixed polynomial in C(R)[x]. Then R is said to be strongly g(x)-nil clean if every element in R is a sum of a nilpotent and a root of g(x) that commute. In this paper, we give some relations between strongly nil clean rings and strongly...
