A ring is called a Gelfand ring (pm ring ) if each prime ideal is contained in a unique maximal ideal. For a Gelfand ring R with Jacobson radical zero, we show that the following are equivalent: (1) R is Artinian; (2) R is Noetherian; (3) R has a finite Goldie dimension; (4) Every maximal ideal is generated by an idempotent; (5) Max (R) is finite. We also give the following resu1ts:an ideal...

In this paper we establish a characterization of abelian compact Hausdorff semigroups with unique idempotent and ideal retraction property. We also introduce a function algebra on a semitopological semigroup whose associated semigroup compactification is universal withrespect to these properties.

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.

In this paper we characterize those hemirings for which each k-ideal is idempotent. We also characterize those hemirings for which each fuzzy k-ideal is idempotent. The space of prime k-ideals (fuzzy k-prime k-ideals) is topologized.

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 (...

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...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate pure submodules of multiplication modules. We introduce the concept of idempotent submodule generalizing idempotent ideal. We show that a submodule of a multiplication module with pure annihilator is pure if and only if it is multiplication and idempotent. Various properties and characterizations of pure submodules of multiplication modules are consid...

We study the singular part of the partition monoid Pn; that is, the ideal Pn \ Sn, where Sn is the symmetric group. Our main results are presentations in terms of generators and relations, and we also show that Pn \Sn is idempotent generated, and that its rank and idempotent-rank are both equal to ( n+1 2 ) = 12n(n + 1). One of our presentations uses an idempotent generating set of this minimal...
