Two-Sided Properties of Elements in Exchange Rings

چکیده
For any element a in an exchange ring R, we show that there is an idempotent e ∈ aR ∩ Ra such that 1 − e ∈ (1 − a)R ∩ R (1 − a). A closely related result is that a ring R is an exchange ring if and only if, for every a ∈ R, there exists an idempotent e ∈ Ra such that 1− e ∈ (1−a)R. The Main Theorem of this paper is a general two-sided statement on exchange elements in arbitrary rings which subsumes both of these results. Finally, applications of these results are given to the study of the endomorphism rings of exchange modules.

Rings in which elements are the sum of an idempotent and a regular element
Let R be an associative ring with unity. An element a in R is said to be r-clean if a = e+r, where e is an idempotent and r is a regular (von Neumann) element in R. If every element of R is r-clean, then R is called an r-clean ring. In this paper, we prove that the concepts of clean ring and r-clean ring are equivalent for abelian rings. Further we prove that if 0 and 1 are the only idempotents...
متن کاملRings with internal cancellation
In this paper, we study the class of rings that satisfy internal direct sum cancellation with respect to their 1-sided ideals. These are known to be precisely the rings in which regular elements are unitregular. Further characterizations for such “IC rings” are given, in terms of suitable versions of stable range conditions, and unique generator properties of idempotent generated right ideals. ...
متن کاملOn zero-divisor graphs of quotient rings and complemented zero-divisor graphs
For an arbitrary ring $R$, the zero-divisor graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma (R)$, is an undirected simple graph that its vertices are all nonzero zero-divisors of $R$ in which any two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if either $xy=0$ or $yx=0$. It is well-known that for any commutative ring $R$, $Gamma (R) cong Gamma (T(R))$ where $T(R)$ is the (total) quotient ring of $R$. In this...
متن کاملOn nest modules of matrices over division rings
Let $ m , n in mathbb{N}$, $D$ be a division ring, and $M_{m times n}(D)$ denote the bimodule of all $m times n$ matrices with entries from $D$. First, we characterize one-sided submodules of $M_{m times n}(D)$ in terms of left row reduced echelon or right column reduced echelon matrices with entries from $D$. Next, we introduce the notion of a nest module of matrices with entries from $D$. We ...
