for an arbitrary ring $r$, the zero-divisor graph of $r$, denoted by $gamma (r)$, is an undirected simple graph that its vertices are all nonzero zero-divisors of $r$ in which any two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if either $xy=0$ or $yx=0$. it is well-known that for any commutative ring $r$, $gamma (r) cong gamma (t(r))$ where $t(r)$ is the (total) quotient ring of $r$. in this...

in this paper we study triangularization of collections of matrices whose entries come from a finite-dimensional division ring. first, we give a generalization of guralnick's theorem to the case of finite-dimensional division rings and then we show that in this case the reduced trace function is a suitable alternative for trace function by presenting two triangularization results. the firs...

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.

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.

for any reduced commutative $f$-ring with identity and bounded inversion, we show that a condition which is obviously necessary for the socle of the ring to coincide with the socle of its bounded part, is actually also sufficient. the condition is that every minimal ideal of the ring consist entirely of bounded elements. it is not too stringent, and is satisfied, for instance, by rings of conti...
