Remarks on Centers of Rings

It is proved that for matrices [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] in the [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text] upper triangular matrix ring [Formula: see text] over a domain [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text] is nonzero and central in [Formula: see text] then [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text] full matrix rings over right Noetherian domains are also shown to have this property. In this article we treat a ring property that is a generalization of this result, and a ring with such a property is said to be weakly reversible-over-center. The class of weakly reversible-over-center rings contains both full matrix rings over right Noetherian domains and upper triangular matrix rings over domains. The structure of various sorts of weakly reversible-over-center rings is studied in relation to the questions raised in the process naturally. We also consider the connection between the property of being weakly reversible-over-center and the related ring properties.

m-commuting Additive Maps on Upper Triangular Matrices Rings

Let $T_{n}(R)$ be the upper triangular matrix ring over a unital commutative ring whose characteristic is not a divisor of $m$. Suppose that $f:T_{n}(R)\rightarrow T_{n}(R)$ is an additive map such that $X^{m}f(X)=f(X)X^{m}$ for all $x \in T_{n}(R),$ where $m\geq 1$ is an integer. We consider the problem of describing the form of the map $X \rightarrow f(X)$.

Rings in which every left zero-divisor is also a right zero-divisor and conversely

A ring [Formula: see text] is called eversible if every left zero-divisor in [Formula: see text] is also a right zero-divisor and conversely. This class of rings is a natural generalization of reversible rings. It is shown that every eversible ring is directly finite, and a von Neumann regular ring is directly finite if and only if it is eversible. We give several examples of some important classes of rings (such as local, abelian) that are not eversible. We prove that [Formula: see text] is eversible if and only if its upper triangular matrix ring [Formula: see text] is eversible, and if [Formula: see text] is eversible then [Formula: see text] is eversible.

Integer-valued polynomials over block matrix algebras

In this paper, we state a generalization of the ring of integer-valued polynomials over upper triangular matrix rings. The set of integer-valued polynomials over some block matrix rings is studied. In fact, we consider the set of integer-valued polynomials [Formula: see text] for each [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is an integral domain with quotient field [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a block matrix ring between upper triangular matrix ring [Formula: see text] and full matrix ring [Formula: see text]. In fact, we have [Formula: see text]. It is known that the sets of integer-valued polynomials [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are rings. We state some relations between the rings [Formula: see text] and the partitions of [Formula: see text]. Then, we show that the set [Formula: see text] is a ring for each [Formula: see text]. Further, it is proved that if the ring [Formula: see text] is not Noetherian then the ring [Formula: see text] is not Noetherian, too. Finally, some properties and relations are stated between the rings [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

Projection invariant extending rings

A ring [Formula: see text] is said to be right [Formula: see text]-extending if every projection invariant right ideal of [Formula: see text] is essential in a direct summand of [Formula: see text]. In this article, we investigate the transfer of the [Formula: see text]-extending condition between a ring [Formula: see text] and its various ring extensions. More specifically, we characterize the right [Formula: see text]-extending generalized triangular matrix rings; and we show that if [Formula: see text] is [Formula: see text]-extending, then so is [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is an overring of [Formula: see text] which is an essential extension of [Formula: see text], an [Formula: see text] upper triangular matrix ring of [Formula: see text], a column finite or column and row finite matrix ring over [Formula: see text], or a certain type of trivial extension of [Formula: see text].

Abel Rings and Super-Strongly Clean Rings

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.

On Quasipolar Rings

The notion of quasipolar elements of rings was introduced by Koliha and Patricio in 2002. In this paper, we introduce the notion of quasipolar rings and relate it to other familiar notions in ring theory. It is proved that both strongly π-regular rings and uniquely clean rings are quasipolar, and quasipolar rings are strongly clean, but no two of these classes of rings are equivalent. For commutative rings, quasipolar rings coincide with semiregular rings. It is also proved that every n × n upper triangular matrix ring over any commutative uniquely clean ring or commutative local ring is quasipolar.

ZCn Rings and ZIn Rings

It is well known that the m × m upper triangular matrix ring over any ring is not ZIn (and so not ZCn) for m ≥ 2. In this paper, we find some ZCn subrings and ZIn subrings of the upper triangular matrix ring over a reduced ring.

ON WEAKLY RIGID RINGS

Let R be a ring with a monomorphism α and an α-derivation δ. We introduce (α, δ)-weakly rigid rings which are a generalisation of α-rigid rings and investigate their properties. Every prime ring R is (α, δ)-weakly rigid for any automorphism α and α-derivation δ. It is proved that for any n, a ring R is (α, δ)-weakly rigid if and only if the n-by-n upper triangular matrix ring Tn(R) is (, )-weakly rigid if and only if Mn(R) is (, )-weakly rigid. Moreover, various classes of (α, δ)-weakly rigid rings is constructed, and several known results are extended. We show that for an (α, δ)-weakly rigid ring R, and the extensions R[x], R[[x]], R[x; α, δ], R[x, x−1; α], R[[x; α]], R[[x, x−1; α]], the ring R is quasi-Baer if and only if the extension over R is quasi-Baer. It is also proved that for an (α, δ)-weakly rigid ring R, if any one of the rings R, R[x], R[x; α, δ] and R[x, x−1; α] is left principally quasi-Baer, then so are the other three. Examples to illustrate and delimit the theory are provided.

ORE EXTENSIONS OF WEAK ZIP RINGS

In this paper we introduce the notion of weak zip rings and investigate their properties. We mainly prove that a ring R is right (left) weak zip if and only if for any n, the n-by-n upper triangular matrix ring Tn(R) is right (left) weak zip. Let α be an endomorphism and δ an α-derivation of a ring R. Then R is a right (left) weak zip ring if and only if the skew polynomial ring R[x; α, δ] is a right (left) weak zip ring when R is (α, δ)-compatible and reversible.
