Representations of the Drazin inverse involving idempotents in a ring

We present some formulae for the Drazin inverse of difference and product of idempotents in a ring. A number of results of bounded linear operators in Banach spaces are extended to the ring case.Comment: 11 page

Drazin Invertibility of Product and Difference of Idempotents in a Ring

In this paper, several equivalent conditions on the Drazin invertibility of product and difference of idempotents are obtained in a ring. Some results in Banach algebra are extended to the ring case.Comment: 8 page

A Note on Quasi-Frobenius Rings

The Faith-Menal conjecture says that every strongly right $Johns$ ring is $QF$. The conjecture is also equivalent to say every right noetherian left $FP$-injective ring is $QF$. In this short article, we show that the conjecture is true under the condition(a proper generalization of left $CS$ condition)that every nonzero complement left ideal is not small(a left ideal $I$ is called small if for every left ideal $K$, $K$+$I$=$R$ implies $K$=$R$). It is also proved that (1) $R$ is $QF$ if and only if $R$ is a left and right mininjective ring with $ACC$ on right annihilators in which $S_{r}\subseteq ^{ess}R_{R}$; (2) $R$ is $QF$ if and only if $R$ is a right simple injective ring with $ACC$ on right annihilators in which $S_{r}\subseteq ^{ess}R_{R}$. Several known results on $QF$ rings are obtained as corollaries.Comment: 8 page

Additive and product properties of Drazin inverses of elements in a ring

We study the Drazin inverses of the sum and product of two elements in a ring. For Drazin invertible elements $a$ and $b$ such that $a^2b=aba$ and $b^2a=bab$, it is shown that $ab$ is Drazin invertible and that $a+b$ is Drazin invertible if and only if $1+a^Db$ is Drazin invertible. Moreover, the formulae of $(ab)^D$ and $(a+b)^D$ are presented. Thus, a generalization of the main result of Zhuang, Chen et al. (Linear Multilinear Algebra 60 (2012) 903-910) is given

Weak group inverse

In this paper, we introduce a weak group inverse (called the WG inverse in the present paper) for square matrices of an arbitrary index, and give some of its characterizations and properties. Furthermore, we introduce two orders: one is a pre-order and the other is a partial order, and derive several characterizations of the two orders. At last, one characterization of the core-EP order is derived by using the WG inverses.Comment: 22page

Additive property of pseudo Drazin inverse of elements in a Banach algebra

We study properties of pseudo Drazin inverse in a Banach algebra with unity 1. If $ab=ba$ and $a,b$ are pseudo Drazin invertible, we prove that $a+b$ is pseudo Drazin invertible if and only if $1+a^\ddag b$ is pseudo Drazin invertible. Moreover, the formula of $(a+b)^\ddag$ is presented . When the commutative condition is weaken to $ab=\lambda ba ~(\lambda \neq 0)$, we also show that $a-b$ is pseudo Drazin invertible if and only if $aa^\ddag(a-b)bb^\ddag$ is pseudo Drazin invertible

Strongly Goldie Dimension

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity. A unital right $R$-module $M$ is called strongly finite dimensional if Sup$\{{\rm G.dim} (M/N) | N\leq M\} < +\infty$. Properties of strongly finite dimensional modules are explored. It is also proved that: (1)If $R$ is left $F$-injective and strongly right finite dimensional, then $R$ is left finite dimensional. (2) If $R$ is right $F$-injective, then $R$ is right finite dimensional if and only if $R$ is semilocal. Thus the Faith-Menal conjecture is true if $R$ is strongly right finite dimensional. Some known results are obtained as corollaries.Comment: 9 page

On countably Σ\Sigma-C2 rings

Let $R$ be a ring. $R$ is called a right countably $\Sigma$-C2 ring if every countable direct sum copies of $R_{R}$ is a C2 module. The following are equivalent for a ring $R$: (1) $R$ is a right countably $\Sigma$-C2 ring. (2) The column finite matrix ring $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{F}\mathbb{M}_{\mathbb{N}}(R)$ is a right C2 (or C3) ring. (3) Every countable direct sum copies of $R_{R}$ is a C3 module. (4) Every projective right $R$-module is a C2 (or C3) module. (5) $R$ is a right perfect ring and every finite direct sum copies of $R_{R}$ is a C2 (or C3) module. This shows that right countably $\Sigma$-C2 rings are just the rings whose right finitistic projective dimension r$FPD(R)$=sup\{$Pd_{R}(M)|$ $M$ is a right $R$-module with $Pd_{R}(M)<\infty$\}=0, which were introduced by Hyman Bass in 1960.Comment: 9 page

Small Injective Rings

Let $R$ be a ring, a right ideal $I$ of $R$ is called small if for every proper right ideal $K$ of $R$, $I+K\neq R$. A ring $R$ is called right small injective if every homomorphism from a small right ideal to $R_{R}$ can be extended to an $R$-homomorphism from $R_{R}$ to $R_{R}$. Properties of small injective rings are explored and several new characterizations are given for $QF$ rings and $PF$ rings, respectively.Comment: 14 page

2-clean rings

A ring $R$ is said to be $n$-clean if every element can be written as a sum of an idempotent and $n$ units. The class of these rings contains clean ring and $n$-good rings in which each element is a sum of $n$ units. In this paper, we show that for any ring $R$, the endomorphism ring of a free $R$-module of rank at least 2 is 2-clean and that the ring $B(R)$ of all $\omega\times \omega$ row and column-finite matrices over any ring $R$ is 2-clean. Finally, the group ring $RC_{n}$ is considered where $R$ is a local ring. \vskip 0.5cm {\bf Key words:}\quad 2-clean rings, 2-good rings, free modules, row and column-finite matrix rings, group rings.Comment: 11 page
