Rings decomposed into direct sums ofJ-rings and nil rings

Strongly nil-clean corner rings

We show that if $R$ is a ring with an arbitrary idempotent $e$ such that $eRe$ and $(1-e)R(1-e)$ are both strongly nil-clean rings‎, ‎then $R/J(R)$ is nil-clean‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎under certain additional circumstances‎, ‎$R$ is also nil-clean‎. ‎These results somewhat improves on achievements due to Diesl in J‎. ‎Algebra (2013) and to Koc{s}an-Wang-Zhou in J‎. ‎Pure Appl‎. ‎Algebra (2016)‎. ‎...

On primitive ideals in polynomial rings over nil rings

Let R be a nil ring. We prove that primitive ideals in the polynomial ring R[x] in one indeterminate over R are of the form I [x] for some ideals I of R. All considered rings are associative but not necessarily have identities. Köthe’s conjecture states that a ring without nil ideals has no one-sided nil ideals. It is equivalent [4] to the assertion that polynomial rings over nil rings are Jaco...

Commutative Nil Clean Group Rings

In [5] and [6], a nil clean ring was defined as a ring for which every element is the sum of a nilpotent and an idempotent. In this short article we characterize nil clean commutative group rings.

Subdirect Sums of Rings

Artinian Band Sums of Rings

Band sums of associative rings were introduced by Weissglass in 1973. The main theorem claims that the support of every Artinian band sum of rings is finite. This result is analogous to the well-known theorem on Artinian semigroup rings. 1991 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc): primary 16P20, 16W50; secondary 20M25. Let B be a band, that is, a semigroup consisting of idempoten...
