A ring R is Zhou nil-clean if every element in R is the sum of two tripotents and a nilpotent that commute. Homomorphic images of Zhou nil-clean rings are explored. We prove that a ring R is Zhou nil-clean if and only if 30 ϵ R is nilpotent and R/30R is Zhou nil-clean, if and only if R/BM(R) is 5-potent and BM(R) is nil, if and only if J(R) is nil and R/J(R) is isomorphic to a Boolean ring, a Yaqub ring, a Bell ring or a direct product of such rings. By means of homomorphic images, we completely determine when the generalized matrix ring is Zhou nil-clean. We prove that the generalized matrix ring Mn(R; s) is Zhou nil-clean if and only if R is Zhou nil-clean and s ϵ J(R).

Generalizing the notion of nil-cleanness from [A. J. Diesl, Nil clean rings, J. Algebra 383 (2013) 197–211], in parallel to [P. V. Danchev and W. Wm. McGovern, Commutative weakly nil clean unital rings, J. Algebra 425 (2015) 410–422], we define the concept of weak nil-cleanness for an arbitrary ring. Its comprehensive study in different ways is provided as well. A decomposition theorem of a weakly nil-clean ring is obtained. It is completely characterized when an abelian ring is weakly nil-clean. It is also completely determined when a matrix ring over a division ring is weakly nil-clean.

An element [Formula: see text] of a ring [Formula: see text] is called a quasi-idempotent if [Formula: see text] for some central unit [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], or equivalently, [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a central unit and [Formula: see text] is an idempotent of [Formula: see text]. A ring [Formula: see text] is called a quasi-Boolean ring if every element of [Formula: see text] is quasi-idempotent. A ring [Formula: see text] is called (strongly) quasi-clean if each of its elements is a sum of a quasi-idempotent and a unit (that commute). These rings are shown to be a natural generalization of the clean rings and strongly clean rings. An extensive study of (strongly) quasi-clean rings is conducted. The abundant examples of (strongly) quasi-clean rings state that the class of (strongly) quasi-clean rings is very larger than the class of (strongly) clean rings. We prove that an indecomposable commutative semilocal ring is quasi-clean if and only if it is local or [Formula: see text] has no image isomorphic to [Formula: see text]; For an indecomposable commutative semilocal ring [Formula: see text] with at least two maximal ideals, [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]) is strongly quasi-clean if and only if [Formula: see text] is quasi-clean if and only if [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is a maximal ideal of [Formula: see text]. For a prime [Formula: see text] and a positive integer [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is strongly quasi-clean if and only if [Formula: see text]. Some open questions are also posed.

Abstract In this note, we first show that a ring R is Abel if and only if the 2 × 2 upper triangular matrix ring over R is quasi-normal. Next, we give the notion of super-strongly clean ring (that is, an Abel clean ring), which is inbetween uniquely clean rings and strongly clean rings. Some characterizations of super-strongly clean rings are given.

A [Formula: see text]-ring [Formula: see text] is called a nil [Formula: see text]-clean ring if every element of [Formula: see text] is a sum of a projection and a nilpotent. Nil [Formula: see text]-clean rings are the [Formula: see text]-version of nil-clean rings introduced by Diesl. This paper is about the nil [Formula: see text]-clean property of rings with emphasis on matrix rings. We show that a [Formula: see text]-ring [Formula: see text] is nil [Formula: see text]-clean if and only if [Formula: see text] is nil and [Formula: see text] is nil [Formula: see text]-clean. For a 2-primal [Formula: see text]-ring [Formula: see text], with the induced involution given by[Formula: see text], the nil [Formula: see text]-clean property of [Formula: see text] is completely reduced to that of [Formula: see text]. Consequently, [Formula: see text] is not a nil [Formula: see text]-clean ring for [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is a nil [Formula: see text]-clean ring if and only if [Formula: see text] is nil, [Formula: see text]is a Boolean ring and [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text].

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.

Question 3 of [3] asks whether the matrix ring [Formula: see text] is nil clean, for any nil clean ring [Formula: see text]. It is shown that, positive answer to this question is equivalent to positive solution for Köthe’s problem in the class of algebras over the field [Formula: see text]. Other equivalent problems are also discussed. The classes of conjugate clean and conjugate nil clean rings, which lie strictly between uniquely (nil) clean and (nil) clean rings are introduced and investigated.

It is well known that if every cyclic right module over a ring is injective, then the ring is semisimple artinian. This classical theorem of Osofsky promoted a considerable interest in the rings whose cyclics satisfy a certain generalized injectivity condition, such as being quasi-injective, continuous, quasi-continuous, or [Formula: see text]. Here we carry out a study of the rings whose cyclic modules are [Formula: see text]-modules. The motivation is the observation that a ring [Formula: see text] is semisimple artinian if and only if every [Formula: see text] -generated right [Formula: see text]-module is a [Formula: see text]-module. Many basic properties are obtained for the rings whose cyclics are [Formula: see text]-modules, and some structure theorems are proved. For instance, it is proved that a semiperfect ring has all cyclics [Formula: see text]-modules if and only if it is a direct product of a semisimple artinian ring and finitely many local rings, and that a right self-injective regular ring has all cyclics [Formula: see text]-modules if and only if it is a direct product of a semisimple artinian ring, a strongly regular ring and a [Formula: see text] matrix ring over a strongly regular ring. Applications to the rings whose [Formula: see text]-generated modules are [Formula: see text] -modules, and the rings whose cyclics are ADS or quasi-continuous are addressed.

A ring is called strongly clean if every element is the sum of an idempotent and a unit which commute. In 1999 Nicholson asked whether every semiperfect ring is strongly clean and whether the matrix ring of a strongly clean ring is strongly clean. In this paper, we prove that if R = {m/n ∈ ℚ: n is odd}, then M2(R) is a semiperfect ring but not strongly clean. Thus, we give negative answers to both questions. It is also proved that every upper triangular matrix ring over the ring R is strongly clean.

Generalized matrix rings are ubiquitous in algebra and have relevant applications to analysis. A ring is quasi-Baer (respectively, right p.q.-Baer) in case the right annihilator of any ideal (respectively, principal ideal) is generated by an idempotent. A ring is called biregular if every principal ideal is generated by a central idempotent. In this paper, we identify the ideals and principal ideals, the annihilators of ideals, and the central and semi-central idempotents of a generalized [Formula: see text] matrix ring. We characterize the generalized matrix rings that are quasi-Baer, right p.q.-Baer, prime, and biregular. We provide examples to illustrate these concepts.
