A decomposition theorem for semiprime rings

A ring A is called an F DI-ring if there exists a decomposition of the identity of A in a sum of finite number of pairwise orthogonal primitive idempotents. We call a primitive idempotent e artinian if the ring eAe is Artinian. We prove that every semiprime F DI-ring is a direct product of a semisimple Artinian ring and a semiprime F DI-ring whose identity decomposition doesn’t contain artinian idempotents

PI theory for Associative Pairs

We extend the classical associative PI-theory to Associative Pairs, and in doing so, we introduce related notions already present for algebras (and Jordan systems) as the ones of PI-element and PI-ideal, extended centroid and central closure

Prime Structures in a Morita Context

In this paper, we study on the primeness and semiprimeness of a Morita context related to the rings and modules. Necessary and sufficient conditions are investigated for an ideal of a Morita context to be a prime ideal and a semiprime ideal. In particular, we determine the conditions under which a Morita context is prime and semiprime

A note on power values of derivation in prime and semiprime rings

Let R be a ring with derivation d, such that (d(xy))^n =(d(x))^n(d(y))^n for all x,y in R and n>1 is a fixed integer. In this paper, we show that if R is a prime, then d = 0 or R is a commutative. If R is a semiprime, then d maps R in to its center. Moreover, in semiprime case let A = O(R) be the orthogonal completion of R and B = B(C) be the Boolian ring of C, where C is the extended centroid of R, then there exists an idempotent e in B such that eA is commutative ring and d induce a zero derivation on (1-e)A.Comment: 8 page
