A commutative ring R is said to be fragmented if each nonunit of R is divisible by all positive integral powers of some corresponding nonunit of R. It is shown that each fragmented ring which contains a nonunit non-zero-divisor has (Krull) dimension ∞. We consider the interplay between fragmented rings and both the atomic and the antimatter rings. After developing some results concerning idempotents and nilpotents in fragmented rings, along with some relevant examples, we use the “fragmented” and “locally fragmented” concepts to obtain new characterisations of zero-dimensional rings, von Neumann regular rings, finite products of fields, and fields.

The zero-divisor graph [Formula: see text] of a commutative ring [Formula: see text] is the graph whose vertices are the nonzero zero divisors in [Formula: see text] and two vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are adjacent if and only if [Formula: see text]. We study the adjacency and Laplacian eigenvalues of the zero-divisor graph [Formula: see text] of a finite commutative von Neumann regular ring [Formula: see text]. We prove that [Formula: see text] is a generalized join of its induced subgraphs. Among the [Formula: see text] eigenvalues (respectively, Laplacian eigenvalues) of [Formula: see text], exactly [Formula: see text] are the eigenvalues of a matrix obtained from the adjacency (respectively, Laplacian) matrix of [Formula: see text]-the zero-divisor graph of nontrivial idempotents in [Formula: see text]. We also determine the degree of each vertex in [Formula: see text], hence the number of edges.

If {Ri}i ∈ I is a family of rings, then it is well-known that Q(Ri) = Q(Q(Ri)) and Q(∏i∈I Ri) = ∏i∈I Q(Ri), where Q(R) denotes the maximal ring of quotients of R. This paper contains an investigation of how these results generalize to the rings of quotients Qα(R) defined by ideals generated by dense subsets of cardinality less than ℵα. The special case of von Neumann regular rings is studied. Furthermore, a generalization of a theorem regarding orthogonal completions is established. Illustrative example are presented.

Let R be a commutative von Neumann regular ring. We show that every finitely generated ideal I in the ring of polynomials R[X] has a strong Gr?bner basis. We prove this result using only the defining property of a von Neumann regular ring.
