Let R be a completely primary finite ring with identity 1 ? 0 in which the product of any two zero divisors lies in its coefficient subring. We determine the structure of the group of units GR of these rings in the case when R is commutative and in some particular cases, obtain the structure and linearly independent generators of GR.

In this paper, R is considered a completely primary finite ring and Z(R) is its subset of all zero divisors (including zero), forming a unique maximal ideal. We give a construction of R whose subset of zero divisors Z(R) satisfies the conditions (Z(R))5 = (0); (Z(R))4 ̸= (0) and determine the structures of the unit groups of R for all its characteristics.

LetRbe a finite ring with 1 and letR*denote the group of units ofR.Letpbe a prime number. In this paper we consider the question of whether there exista, binR*such thataandb arenon-p-th powers whose sum is 1. If such units a,bexisting, we say that R is an N (p)-ring. Of course ifpdoes not divide |R*|, the order of R*, then every element inR*is apthpower.

AbstractIn this paper we find all finite rings with a nilpotent group of units. It was thought that the answer to this was already given by McDonald in 1974, but as was shown by Groza in 1989, the conclusions that had been reached there do not hold. Here, we improve some results of Groza and describe the structure of an arbitrary finite ring with a nilpotent group of units, thus solving McDonald’s problem.

The zero-divisor graph Γ(R) of an associative ring R is the graph whose vertices are all nonzero zero-divisors (one-sided and two-sided) of R, and two distinct vertices x and y are joined by an edge if and only if either xy = 0 or yx = 0. In the present paper, we study some properties of ring varieties where every finite ring is uniquely determined by its zero-divisor graph.

Let R be a directly indecomposable finite ring. Let p be a prime, let m be a positive integer and suppose the radical of R has pm elements. Then we show that . As a consequence, we have that, for a given finite nilpotent ring N, there are up to isomorphism only finitely many finite rings not having simple ring direct summands, with radical isomorphic to N. Let R* denote the group of units of R. Then we prove that (1 − 1/p)m+1 ≤ |R*| / |R| ≤ 1 − 1/pm. As a corollary, we obtain that if R is a directly indecomposable non-simple finite 2′-ring then |R| < |R*| |Rad(R)|.

Random Elements

Let R be a finite ring. The zero divisors of R are defined as two nonzero elements of R, say x and y where xy = 0. Meanwhile, the probability that two random elements in a group commute is called the commutativity degree of the group. Some generalizations of this concept have been done on various groups, but not in rings. In this study, a variant of probability in rings which is the probability that two elements of a finite ring have product zero is determined for some ring of matrices over integers modulo n. The results are then applied into graph theory, specifically the zero divisor graph. This graph is defined as a graph where its vertices are zero divisors of R and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy = 0. It is found that the zero divisor graph of R is a directed graph.

Unital Rings

It is well-known that every finite ring with non-zero-divisors has order not exceeding the square of the order n of its left zero-divisor set. Unital rings whose order is precisely n2 have been described already. Here we discuss finite rings with relatively larger zero-divisor sets, namely those of order greater than n3/2. This is achieved by describing the class of all finite rings with left composition length two at most, and using a theorem relating the left composition length of a finite ring to the size of its left zero-divisor set.

Let [Formula: see text] be a unitary ring of finite cardinality [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a prime number and [Formula: see text]. We show that if the group of units of [Formula: see text] has at most one subgroup of order [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a finite ring of order [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a ring of cardinality [Formula: see text] which is one of the six explicitly described types.
