Throughout the paper, all rings are associative rings with identity 1. The set of all idempotents of a ring R is denoted by E(R). Also, for a subset X ⊆ R, we denote the right [resp., left] annihilator of X by r(X) [resp., (X)]. We call a ring R a left p.p.-ring [3], in brevity, an l.p.p.-ring, if every principal left ideal of R, regarded as a left R-module, is projective. Dually, we may define...
