Let G be a multiplicative group, K a commutative ring with unit, and K(G) the group ring of G with respect to K. We say that K(G) is regular if given an x in K(G), there is a y in K(G) such that xyx = x. Using a homological characterization of regular rings which was found independently by M. Harada [2, Theorem 5] and the author, we prove that if G is locally finite, then K(G) is regular if and...

This paper generalizes slightly a result of Kunz [l ] and Nakai [2]. If R>S are commutative rings with identity we introduce a module D*(R/S) defined as the quotient of the module D(R/S) oí S differentials of A by the submodule consisting of elements which are mapped to zero by every homomorphism of D(R/S) having values in a finitely generated A module. The characteristic exponent of a field is...

Introduction. The concept of a local ring was introduced by Krull [7](1), who defined such a ring as a commutative ring 9î in which every ideal has a finite basis and in which the set m of all non-units is an ideal, necessarily maximal. He proved that the intersection of all the powers of m is the zero ideal. If the powers of m are introduced as a system of neighborhoods of zero, then 3Î thus b...

in this article, we study the artin-rees property in  c(x), in the  rings of fractions of  c(x) and in the factor rings of c(x) . we show that c(x)/(f) is an artin-rees ring if and only if  z(f)  is an open p-space. a necessary and sufficient condition for the local rings of  c(x)   to be artin-rees rings is that each prime ideal in  c(x)  becomes minimal and it turns out that every local ring ...

In this paper, we study Lie and Jordan Structure in Simple Γ− Regular Ring of characteristic not equal to two. Some Properties of these Γ− Regular Ring are determined.

LetR be a von Neumann regular ring. The main results of this paper assert whether a von Neumann regular ring is expressible as a directed union of finite products of fields.

In this paper we introduce the notion of unit-regular ideals for unital rings, which is a natural generalization of unit-regular rings. It is shown that every square matrix over unit-regular ideals admits a diagonal reduction. We also prove that a regular ideal of a unital ring is unit-regular if and only if pseudo-similarity via the ideal is similarity. Let I be an ideal of a unital ring R. We...

It is well known that a commutative ring R is complemented (that is, given a ∈ R there exists b ∈ R such that ab = 0 and a + b is a regular element) if an only if the total ring of quotients of R is von Neumann regular. We consider generalizations of the notion of a complemented ring and their implications for the total ring of quotients. We then look at the specific case when the ring is a rin...
