An associative ring R is said to have stable range one if for any a, b ∈ R satisfying aR + bR = R, there exists y ∈ R such that a + by is right (equivalently, left) invertible. Call a ring R strongly π-regular if for every element a ∈ R there exist a number n (depending on a) and an element x ∈ R such that an = an+1x. It is an open question whether all strongly π-regular rings have stable range one. The purpose of this note is to prove the following Theorem: If R is a strongly π-regular ring with the property that all powers of every nilpotent von Neumann regular element are von Neumann regular in R, then R has stable range one.

In this paper, we study rings that are additively generated by units. We prove that if the identity in a ring with stable range one is a sum of two units, then every (von Neumann) regular element is a sum of two units. It follows that every element in a unit-regular ring is a sum of two units if the identity is a sum of two units. Also, if the identity of a strongly π-regular ring is a sum of two units, then every element is a sum of three units.

Throughout, A denotes an associative ring with identity and “module” means “left, unitary A-module”. In (3), it is proved that A is semi-simple, Artinian if A is a semi-prime ring such that every left ideal is a left annihilator. A natural question is whether a similar result holds for a (von Neumann) regular ring. The first proposition of this short note is that if A contains no non-zero nilpotent element, then A is regular iff every principal left ideal is the left annihilator of an element of A. It is well-known that a commutative ring is regular iff every simple module is injective (I. Kaplansky, see (2, p. 130)). The second proposition here is a partial generalisation of that result.

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.

In this paper, we are primarily concerned with the behaviour of the centre with respect to the completion process for von Neumann regular rings at the pseudo-metric topology induced by a pseudo-rank function.Let R be a (von Neumann) regular ring, and N a pseudo-rank function (all terms left undefined here may be found in [6]). Then N induces a pseudo-metric topology on R, and the completion of R at this pseudo-metric, , is a right and left self-injective regular ring. Let Z( ) denote the centre of whatever ring is in the brackets. We are interested in the map .If R is simple, Z(R) is a field, so is discrete in the topology; yet Goodearl has constructed an example with Z(R) = R and Z(R) = C [5, 2.10]. There is thus no hope of a general density result.

Recently, in the Research Problems of Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, Vol. 14, No. 4, 1971, there appeared a problem which asks “Is a prime Von Neumann regular ring pimitive?” While we are not able to settle this question one way or the other, we prove that in a Von Neumann regular ring, there is a maximal annihilator right ideal if and only if there is a minimal right ideal.

We show that eachR-module isn-flat (resp., weaklyn-flat) if and only ifRis an(n,n−1)-ring (resp., a weakly(n,n−1)-ring). We also give a new characterization ofn-Von Neumann regular rings and a characterization of weakn-Von Neumann regular rings for (CH)-rings and for local rings. Finally, we show that in a class of principal rings and a class of local Gaussian rings, a weakn-Von Neumann regular ring is a (CH)-ring.

It is shown that a von Neumann regular ring R is left seif-injective if and only if every finitely generated torsion-free left R-module is projective. It is further shown that a countable self-injective strongly regular ring is Artin semi-simple.

Let R be a J-regular ring, i.e., R/J(R) is a von Neumann regular ring, where J(R) is the Jacobson radical of R. It is proved: (i) For every n ≥ 1, R is right n-injective if and only if every homomorphism from an n-generated small right ideal of R to RR can be extended to one from RR to RR. (ii) R is right FP-injective if and only if R is right (J,R)-FP-injective. Some known results are improved.

We prove in this paper that fifteen classes of rings coincide with the class of rings named in the title. One of them is the class of rings R such that X2 = X for each R-ideal X: we shall refer to rings with this property (and thus to the rings of the title) as fully idempotent rings. The simple rings and the (von Neumann) regular rings are fully idempotent. Indeed, every finitely generated right or left ideal of a regular ring is generated by an idempotent [l, p. 42], so that X2 = X holds for every one-sided ideal X.

AbstractIn 2014, the first two authors proved an extension to modules of a theorem of Camillo and Yu that an exchange ring has stable range 1 if and only if every regular element is unit-regular. Here, we give a Morita context version of a stronger theorem. The definition of regular elements in a module goes back to Zelmanowitz in 1972, but the notion of a unit-regular element in a module is new. In this paper, we study unit-regular elements and give several characterizations of them in terms of “stable” elements and “lifting” elements. Along the way, we give natural extensions to the module case of many results about unit-regular rings. The paper concludes with a discussion of when the endomorphism ring of a unit-regular module is a unit-regular ring.
