We say that a ring R has bounded index if there is a positive integer n such that an = 0 for each nilpotent element a of R. If n is the least such integer we say R has index n. For example, any semiprime right Goldie ring has bounded index, and so does any semiprime ring satisfying a polynomial identity [10, Theorem 10.8.2]. This paper is mainly concerned with the maximal (right) quotient ring Q of a semiprime ring R with bounded index. Several special cases of this situation have already received attention in the literature. If R satisfies a polynomial identity [1], or if every nonzero right ideal of R contains a nonzero idempotent [18] then it is known that Q is a finite direct product of matrix rings over strongly regular self-injective rings, the size of the matrices being bounded by the index of R. On the other hand if R is reduced (that is, has index 1) then Q is a direct product of a strongly regular self-injective ring and a biregular right self-injective ring of type III ([2] and [15]; the terminology is explained in [6]). We prove the following generalization of these results (see Theorems 9 and 11).

AbstractSanderson (Canad. Math. Bull., 8 (1965), 505–513), considering a nonempty collection Σ of left ideals of a ring R, with unity, defined the concepts of “Σ-injective module” and “Σ-essential extension” for unital left modules. Letting Σ be an idempotent topologizing set (called a σ-set below) Σanderson proved the existence of a “Σ-injective hull” for any unital left module and constructed an Utumi Σ-quotient ring of R as the bicommutant of the Σ-injective hull of RR. In this paper, we extend the concepts of “Σinjective module”, “Σ-essentialextension”, and “Σ-injective hull” to modules over arbitrary rings. An overring Σ of a ring R is a Johnson (Utumi) left Σ-quotient ring of R if RR is Σ-essential (Σ-dense) in RS. The maximal Johnson and Utumi Σ-quotient rings of R are constructed similar to the original method of Johnson, and conditions are given to insure their equality. The maximal Utumi Σquotient ring U of R is shown to be the bicommutant of the Σ-injective hull of RR when R has unity. We also obtain a σ-set UΣ of left ideals of U, generated by Σ, and prove that Uis its own maximal Utumi UΣ-quotient ring. A Σ-singular left ideal ZΣ(R) of R is defined and U is shown to be UΣ-injective when Z Σ(R) = 0. The maximal Utumi Σ-quotient rings of matrix rings and direct products of rings are discussed, and the quotient rings of this paper are compared with these of Gabriel (Bull. Soc. Math. France, 90 (1962), 323–448) and Mewborn (Duke Math. J. 35 (1968), 575–580). Our results reduce to those of Johnson and Utumi when 1 ∊ R and Σ is taken to be the set of all left ideals of R.

An associative ringRwith identity is a generalized matrix ring with idempotent setEifEis a finite set of orthogonal idempotents ofRwhose sum is1. We show that, in the presence of certain annihilator conditions, such a ring is semiprime right Goldie if and only ifeReis semiprime right Goldie for alle∈E, and we calculate the classical right quotient ring ofR.

The object of this paper is to consider the relationships between matrix rings and rings having classical quotient rings which are quasi-Frobenius X (QFX) rings. The main result of this paper is Theorem 12, which shows that if S is a ring with a QFX right classical quotient ring T, then T is isomorphic to a direct sum of a finite number of matrix rings over local rings Ui, while S is almost a direct sum of matrix rings over rings Ci, the Ui being right classical quotient rings of the Ci.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a strongly ordered congruence on a directed ordered semigroup S. We prove that any strongly ordered congruence on S is a strongly regular congruence. We characterize the finite direct product, subdirect product and full subdirect product of ordered semigroups by using the concepts of strongly ordered congruence and regular congruence on an ordered semigroup S.

Let R be a prime ring, I a nonzero ideal of R, d a derivation of R and m, n fixed positive integers. (i) If (d ( r ○ s)(r ○ s) + ( r ○ s) d ( r ○ s)n - d ( r ○ s))m for all r, s ϵ I, then R is commutative. (ii) If (d ( r ○ s)( r ○ s) + ( r ○ s) d ( r ○ s)n - d (r ○ s))m ϵ Z(R) for all r, s ϵ I, then R satisfies s4, the standard identity in four variables. Moreover, we also examine the case when R is a semiprime ring.

Earlier D. A. Jordan, C. R. Jordan and D. S. Passman have investigated the properties of Lie rings Der [Formula: see text] of derivations in a commutative differentially prime rings [Formula: see text]. We study Lie rings Der [Formula: see text] in the non-commutative case and prove that if [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text]-torsion-free [Formula: see text]-semiprime ring, then [Formula: see text] is a semiprime Lie ring or [Formula: see text] is a commutative ring.

Throughout this note, rings are associative with identity element but are not necessarily commutative. Let R be a left and right Noetherian ring which has an Artinian (classical) quotient ring. It was shown by S. M. Ginn and P. B. Moss [2, Theorem 10] that there is a central idempotent element e of R such that eR is the largest Artinian ideal of R. We shall extend this result, using a different method of proof, to show that the idempotent e is also related to the socle of R/N (where N, throughout, denotes the largest nilpotent ideal of R) and to the intersection of all the principal right (or left) ideals of R generated by regular elements (i.e. by elements which are not zero-divisors). There are many examples of left and right Noetherian rings with Artinian quotient rings, e.g. commutative Noetherian rings in which all the associated primes of zero are minimal together with full or triangular matrix rings over such rings. It was shown by L. W. Small that if R is any left and right Noetherian ring then R has an Artinian quotient ring if and only if the regular elements of R are precisely the elements c of R such that c + N is a regular element of R/N (for further details and examples see [5] and [6]). By the largest Artinian ideal of R we mean the sum of all the Artinian right ideals of R, and it was shown by T. H. Lenagan in [3] that this coincides in any left and right Noetherian ring R with the sum of all the Artinian left ideals of R.

AbstractLet R be a semiprime ring with the extended centroid C and Q the maximal right ring of quotients of R. Set [y, x]1 = [y, x] = yx − xy for x, y ∈ Q and inductively [y, x]k = [[y, x]k−1, x] for k > 1. Suppose that f : R → Q is an additive map satisfying [f(x), x]n = 0 for all x ∈ R, where n is a fixed positive integer. Then it can be shown that there exist λ ∈ C and an additive map μ : R → C such that f(x) = λx + μ(x) for all x ∈ R. This gives the affirmative answer to the unsolved problem of such functional identities initiated by Brešar in 1996.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the quotient problem for right noetherian nonsingular rings and the quotient problem for semicritical rings. It is shown that a right noetherian nonsingular ring R has an artinian classical quotient ring iff certain semicritical factor rings R/Ki, i = 1,…,n, possess artinian classical quotient rings and regular elements in R/Ki lift to regular elements of R for all i. If R is a two sided noetherian nonsingular ring, then the existence of an artinian classical quotient ring is equivalent to each R/Ki possessing an artinian classical quotient ring and the right Krull primes of R consisting of minimal prime ideals. If R is also weakly right ideal invariant, then the former condition is redundant. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a nonsingular semicritical ring to have an artinian classical quotient ring.
