AbstractA generalized Hermitian (GH) algebra is a special Jordan algebra that is at the same time a spectral order-unit space. In this paper we characterize the von Neumann regular elements in a GH-algebra, relate maximal pairwise commuting subsets of the algebra to blocks in its projection lattice, and prove a Gelfand-Naimark type representation theorem for commutative GH-algebras.

We explore aJB*-triple analogue of the notion of quasi invertible elements, originally studied by Brown and Pedersen in the setting ofC*-algebras. This class of BP-quasi invertible elements properly includes all invertible elements and all extreme points of the unit ball and is properly included in von Neumann regular elements in aJB*-triple; this indicates their structural richness. We initiate a study of the unit ball of aJB*-triple investigating some structural properties of the BP-quasi invertible elements; here and in sequent papers, we show that various results on unitary convex decompositions and regular approximations can be extended to the setting of BP-quasi invertible elements. SomeC*-algebra andJB*-algebra results, due to Kadison and Pedersen, Rørdam, Brown, Wright and Youngson, and Siddiqui, including the Russo-Dye theorem, are extended toJB*-triples.

An element of a ring [Formula: see text] is said to be [Formula: see text]-precious if it can be written as the sum of a von Neumann regular element, an idempotent element and a nilpotent element. If all the elements of a ring [Formula: see text] are [Formula: see text]-precious, then [Formula: see text] is called an [Formula: see text]-precious ring. We study some basic properties of [Formula: see text]-precious rings. We also characterize von Neumann regular elements in [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is a Euclidean domain and by this argument, we produce elements that are [Formula: see text]-precious but either not [Formula: see text]-clean or not precious.

Let [Formula: see text] be an associative unital ring with an endomorphism [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]-derivation [Formula: see text]. Some types of ring elements such as the units and the idempotents play distinguished roles in noncommutative ring theory, and will play a central role in this work. In fact, we are interested to study the unit elements, the idempotent elements, the von Neumann regular elements, the [Formula: see text]-regular elements and also the von Neumann local elements of the Ore extension ring [Formula: see text], when the base ring [Formula: see text] is a right duo ring which is [Formula: see text]-compatible. As an application, we completely characterize the clean elements of the Ore extension ring [Formula: see text], when the base ring [Formula: see text] is a right duo ring which is [Formula: see text]-compatible.

We study the operation E → cl (E) defined on subsets E of a unital ring R, where x ∈ cl (E) if (x + Rb) ∩ E ≠ ∅ for each b in R such that Rx + Rb = R. This operation, which strongly resembles a closure, originates in algebraic K-theory. For any left ideal L we show that cl (L) equals the intersection of the maximal left ideals of R containing L. Moreover, cl (Re) = Re + rad (R) if e is an idempotent in R, and cl (I) = I for a two-sided ideal I precisely when I is semi-primitive in R (i.e. rad (R/I) = 0). We then explore a special class of von Neumann regular elements in R, called persistently regular and characterized by forming an "open" subset Rpr in R, i.e. cl (R\Rpr) = R\Rpr. In fact, R\Rpr = cl (R\Rr), so that Rpr is the "algebraic interior" of the set Rr of regular elements. We show that a regular element x with partial inverse y is persistently regular, if and only if the skew corner (1 - xy)R(1 - yx) is contained in Rr. If I reg (R) denotes the maximal regular ideal in R and [Formula: see text] the set of quasi-invertible elements, defined and studied in [4], we prove that [Formula: see text]. Specializing to C*-algebras we prove that cl (E) coincides with the norm closure of E, when E is one of the five interesting sets R-1, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], and that Rpr coincides with the topological interior of Rr. We also show that the operation cl respects boundedness, self-adjointness and positivity.

In a semiprime ring, von Neumann regular elements are determined by their inner inverses. In particular, for elements [Formula: see text] of a von Neumann regular ring [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] denotes the set of inner inverses of [Formula: see text]. We also prove that, in a semiprime ring, the same is true for reflexive inverses.

Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity. In this paper, we study the von Neumann regular elements of R. We also study the idempotent elements, π-regular elements, the von Neumann local elements, and the clean elements of R. Finally, we investigate the subgraphs of the zero-divisor graph Γ(R) of R induced by the above elements.

If {Ri}i ∈ I is a family of rings, then it is well-known that Q(Ri) = Q(Q(Ri)) and Q(∏i∈I Ri) = ∏i∈I Q(Ri), where Q(R) denotes the maximal ring of quotients of R. This paper contains an investigation of how these results generalize to the rings of quotients Qα(R) defined by ideals generated by dense subsets of cardinality less than ℵα. The special case of von Neumann regular rings is studied. Furthermore, a generalization of a theorem regarding orthogonal completions is established. Illustrative example are presented.
