LetRbe a ring (not necessarily with identity) and letNdenote the set of nilpotent elements ofR. Suppose that (i)Nis commutative, (ii) for everyxinR, there exists a positive integerk=k(x)and a polynomialf(λ)=fx(λ)with integer coefficients such thatxk=xk+1f(x), (iii) the setIn={x|xn=x}wherenis a fixed integer,n>1, is an ideal inR. ThenRis a subdirect sum of finite fields of at mostnelements and a nil commutative ring. This theorem, generalizes the “xn=x” theorem of Jacobson, and (takingn=2) also yields the well known structure of a Boolean ring. An Example is given which shows that this theorem need not be true if we merely assume thatInis a subring ofR.

The Ideal

Let [Formula: see text] be a commutative ring, [Formula: see text] an ideal of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] a fixed integer. The ideal-based [Formula: see text]-zero-divisor hypergraph [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] has vertex set [Formula: see text], the set of all ideal-based [Formula: see text]-zero-divisors of [Formula: see text], and for distinct elements [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], the set [Formula: see text] is an edge in [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] and the product of the elements of any [Formula: see text]-subset of [Formula: see text] is not in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that [Formula: see text] is connected with diameter at most 4 provided that [Formula: see text] for all ideal-based 3-zero-divisor hypergraphs. Moreover, we find the chromatic number of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a product of finite fields. Finally, we find some necessary conditions for a finite ring [Formula: see text] and a nonzero ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] to have [Formula: see text] planar.

Associative Rings

I.N. Herstein has shown that an associative ring in which the nilpotent elements are “well-behaved”, and such that every element satisfies a certain polynomial identity, is commutative. This result is generalized here. Specifically, it is shown that an alternative ring R which satisfies the following three properties is commutative:(i) for x ∈ R, there exists an integer n(x) and a polynomial px (t) with integer coefficients such that xn+1p(x) = xn;(ii) for a fixed positive integer m, a a nilpotent and b an arbitrary element of R, a - am commutes with b - bm;(iii) for the same m, a and b, (ab+b)m = (ba+b)m and (ab)m = ambm.Examples are given to show that all three properties are essential, and it is shown that for associative rings certain modified versions of these properties are individually enough to assure that the commutator ideal of the ring is nil.

Abstract The intersection of all maximal right ideals of a near-ring N is called the quasi-radical of N. In this paper, first we show that the quasi-radical of the zero-symmetric near-ring of polynomials R0[x] equals to the set of all nilpotent elements of R0[x], when R is a commutative ring with Nil (R)2 = 0. Then we show that the quasi-radical of R0[x] is a subset of the intersection of all maximal left ideals of R0[x]. Also, we give an example to show that for some commutative ring R the quasi-radical of R0[x] coincides with the intersection of all maximal left ideals of R0[x]. Moreover, we prove that the quasi-radical of R0[x] is the greatest quasi-regular (right) ideal of it.

A ring for which there is a fixed integer n ≥ 2 such that every element in the ring has an n-th in the ring is called an n-th root ring. This paper gives numerous examples of diverse types of n-th root rings, some via general construction procedures. It is shown that every commutative ring can be embedded in a commutative n-th root ring with unity. The structure of n-th root rings with chain conditions is developed and finite n-th root rings are completely classified. Subdirect product representations are given for several classes of n-th root rings.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. In this paper, we introduce theweakly nilpotent graph of a commutative ring. The weakly nilpotent graph of R denoted by Γw(R) is a graph with the vertex set R* and two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if x y ∊ N(R)*, where R* = R \ {0} and N(R)* is the set of all non-zero nilpotent elements of R. In this article, we determine the diameter of weakly nilpotent graph of an Artinian ring. We prove that if Γw(R) is a forest, then Γw(R) is a union of a star and some isolated vertices. We study the clique number, the chromatic number, and the independence number of Γw(R). Among other results, we show that for an Artinian ring R, Γw(R) is not a disjoint union of cycles or a unicyclic graph. For Artinan rings, we determine diam . Finally, we characterize all commutative rings R for which is a cycle, where is the complement of the weakly nilpotent graph of R.

International audience This paper contains two results. First, I propose a $q$-generalization of a certain sequence of positive integers, related to Catalan numbers, introduced by Zeilberger, see Lassalle (2010). These $q$-integers are palindromic polynomials in $q$ with positive integer coefficients. The positivity depends on the positivity of a certain difference of products of $q$-binomial coefficients.To this end, I introduce a new inversion/major statistics on lattice walks. The difference in $q$-binomial coefficients is then seen as a generating function of weighted walks that remain in the upper half-plan. Cet document contient deux résultats. Tout d’abord, je vous propose un $q$-generalization d’une certaine séquence de nombres entiers positifs, liés à nombres de Catalan, introduites par Zeilberger (Lassalle, 2010). Ces $q$-integers sont des polynômes palindromiques à $q$ à coefficients entiers positifs. La positivité dépend de la positivité d’une certaine différence de produits de $q$-coefficients binomial.Pour ce faire, je vous présente une nouvelle inversion/major index sur les chemins du réseau. La différence de $q$-binomial coefficients est alors considérée comme une fonction de génération de trajets pondérés qui restent dans le demi-plan supérieur.

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.

Minimal Prime

AbstractLet P be a prime ideal of a ring R, O(P) = {a ∊ R | aRs = 0, for some s ∊ R/P} | and Ō(P) = {x ∊ R | xn ∊ O(P), for some positive integer n}. Several authors have obtained sheaf representations of rings whose stalks are of the form R/O(P). Also in a commutative ring a minimal prime ideal has been characterized as a prime ideal P such that P= Ō(P). In this paper we derive various conditions which ensure that a prime ideal P = Ō(P). The property that P = Ō(P) is then used to obtain conditions which determine when R/O(P) has a unique minimal prime ideal. Various generalizations of O(P) and Ō(P) are considered. Examples are provided to illustrate and delimit our results.
