Throughout this paper R denotes an associative ring with identity and all modules are unitary. We use the symbol U(R) to denote the group of units of R and Id(R) the set of idempotents of R, Un(R) the set of elements which are the sum of n units of R, UΣ(R) the set of elements each of which is the sum of finitely many units in R, RE(R) (URE(R)) the set of regular (unit regular) elements of R, a...

A ring R is called strongly clean if every element of R is the sum of a unit and an idempotent that commute. By SRC factorization, Borooah, Diesl, and Dorsey [3] completely determined when Mn(R) over a commutative local ring R is strongly clean. We generalize the notion of SRC factorization to commutative rings, prove that commutative n-SRC rings (n ≥ 2) are precisely the commutative local ring...

We call a ring R generalized uniquely clean (or GUC for short) if every not invertible element in is clean. Let be ring. It shown that and only it local or Thus the generalization of Some basic properties rings are proved.

Let $a, b, k,in K$ and $u, v in U(K)$. We show for any idempotent $ein K$, $(a 0|b 0)$ is e-clean iff $(a 0|u(vb + ka) 0)$ is e-clean and if $(a 0|b 0)$ is 0-clean, $(ua 0|u(vb + ka) 0)$ is too.

A ring with identity is said to be clean if every element can be written as a sum of a unit and an idempotent. The study of clean rings has been at the forefront of ring theory over the past decade. The theory of partially-ordered groups has a nice and long history and since there are several ways of relating a ring to a (unital) partially-ordered group it became apparent that there ought to be...

It is proved that a commutative ring is clean if and only if it is Gelfand with a totally disconnected maximal spectrum. It is shown that each indecomposable module over a commutative ring R satisfies a finite condition if and only if R P is an artinian valuation ring for each maximal prime ideal P. Commutative rings for which each indecomposable module has a local endomorphism ring are studied...
