A Generalization of Baer Rings

The unit sum number of Baer rings

In this paper we prove that each element of any regular Baer ring is a sum of two units if no factor ring of R is isomorphic to Z_2 and we characterize regular Baer rings with unit sum numbers $omega$ and $infty$. Then as an application, we discuss the unit sum number of some classes of group rings.

On Commutative Reduced Baer Rings

It is shown that a commutative reduced ring R is a Baer ring if and only if it is a CS-ring; if and only if every dense subset of Spec (R) containing Max (R) is an extremally disconnected space; if and only if every non-zero ideal of R is essential in a principal ideal generated by an idempotent.

Generalized Baer rings

In [15], Kaplansky introduced Baer rings as rings in which every right (left) annihilator ideal is generated by an idempotent. According to Clark [9], a ring R is called quasi-Baer if the right annihilator of every right ideal is generated (as a right ideal) by an idempotent. Further works on quasi-Baer rings appear in [4, 6, 17]. Recently, Birkenmeier et al. [8] called a ring R to be a right (...

A CHARACTERIZATION OF BAER-IDEALS

An ideal I of a ring R is called right Baer-ideal if there exists an idempotent e 2 R such that r(I) = eR. We know that R is quasi-Baer if every ideal of R is a right Baer-ideal, R is n-generalized right quasi-Baer if for each I E R the ideal In is right Baer-ideal, and R is right principaly quasi-Baer if every principal right ideal of R is a right Baer-ideal. Therefore the concept of Baer idea...
