Factorizations of Matrices Over Projective-free Rings

An element of a ring $R$ is called strongly $J^{\#}$-clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and an element in $J^{\#}(R)$ that commute. We characterize, in this article, the strongly $J^{\#}$-cleanness of matrices over projective-free rings. These extend many known results on strongly clean matrices over commutative local rings

Structure theory of central simple ℤd-graded algebras

This paper investigates the structure theory of ℤd- central simple graded algebras and gives the complete decomposition into building block algebras. The results are also applied to generalized Clifford algebras, which are motivating examples of ℤd-central simple graded algebras. © TÜBİTAK

Strongly clean matrices over power series

An n � n matrix A over a commutative ring is strongly clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent matrix and an invertible matrix that commute. Let R be an arbitrary commutative ring, and let A(x) ∈ Mn (R[[x]]). We prove, in this note, that A(x) ∈ Mn (R[[x]]) is strongly clean if and only if A(0) ∈ Mn(R) is strongly clean. Strongly clean matrices over quotient rings of power series are also determined. � Kyungpook Mathematical Journal

Strongly clean triangular matrix rings with endomorphisms

A ring R is strongly clean provided that every element in R is the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commutate. Let Tn(R; σ) be the skew triangular matrix ring over a local ring R where σ is an endomorphism of R. We show that T2(R; σ) is strongly clean if and only if for any aϵ 1+J(R); b ϵ J(R), la -rσ (b): R→ R is surjective. Further, T3(R; σ) is strongly clean if la-rσ (b); la-rσ2 (b) and lb-rσ (a)are surjective for any a ϵ U(R); b ϵ J(R). The necessary condition for T3(R; σ) to be strongly clean is also obtained. © 2015 Iranian Mathematical Society

On feckly clean rings

A ring R is feckly clean provided that for any a R there exists an element e R and a full element u R such that a = e + u, eR(1 - e) J(R). We prove that a ring R is feckly clean if and only if for any a R, there exists an element e R such that V(a) V(e), V(1 - a) V(1 - e) and eR(1 - e) J(R), if and only if for any distinct maximal ideals M and N, there exists an element e R such that e M, 1 - e N and eR(1 - e) J(R), if and only if J-spec(R) is strongly zero-dimensional, if and only if Max(R) is strongly zero-dimensional and every prime ideal containing J(R) is contained in a unique maximal ideal. More explicit characterizations are also discussed for commutative feckly clean rings. © 2015 World Scientific Publishing Company

Duo property for rings by the quasinilpotent perspective

In this paper, we focus on the duo ring property via quasinilpotent elements, which gives a new kind of generalizations of commutativity. We call this kind of rings qnil-duo. Firstly, some properties of quasinilpotents in a ring are provided. Then the set of quasinilpotents is applied to the duo property of rings, in this perspective, we introduce and study right (resp., left) qnil-duo rings. We show that this concept is not left-right symmetric. Among others, it is proved that if the Hurwitz series ring $H(R; \alpha)$ is right qnil-duo, then $R$ is right qnil-duo. Every right qnil-duo ring is abelian. A right qnil-duo exchange ring has stable range 1

Symmetric modules over their endomorphism rings

Let R be an arbitrary ring with identity and M a right R-module with S=EndR(M). In this paper, we study right R-modules M having the property for f,g∈EndR(M) and for m∈M, the condition fgm=0 implies gfm=0. We prove that some results of symmetric rings can be extended to symmetric modules for this general setting

Symmetric modules over their endomorphism rings

Let R be an arbitrary ring with identity and M a right R-module with S = EndR(M). In this paper, we study right R-modules M having the property for f, g ∈ EndR(M) and for m ∈ M, the condition fgm = 0 implies gfm = 0. We prove that some results of symmetric rings can be extended to symmetric modules for this general setting. © Journal “Algebra and Discrete Mathematics”
