On Weakly Semicommutative Rings

A ring R is said to be weakly semicommutative if for any a,b∈R, ab=0 implies aRb（？）Nil（R）,where Nil（R） is the set of all nilpotent elements in R. In this note,we clarify the relationship between weakly semicommutative rings and NI-rings by proving that the notion of a weakly semicommutative ring is a proper generalization of NI-rings.We say that a ring R is weakly 2-primal if the set of nilpotent elements in R coincides with its Levitzki radical,and prove that if R is a weakly 2-primal ring which satisfiesα-condition for an endomorphismαof R（that is,ab=0（？）aα（b）=0 where a,b∈R） then the skew polynomial ring R[x;α] is a weakly 2-primal ring,and that if R is a ring and I is an ideal of R such that I and R/I are both weakly semicommutative then R is weakly semicommutative. Those extend the main results of Liang et al.2007（Taiwan Residents J.Math.,11（5）（2007）, 1359-1368） considerably.Moreover,several new results about weakly semicommutative rings and NI-rings are included.

Nilpotent Elements and Nil-Reflexive Property of Generalized Power Series Rings

Let R be a ring and (S,≤) a strictly ordered monoid. In this paper, we deal with a new approach to reflexive property for rings by using nilpotent elements, in this direction we introduce the notions of generalized power series reflexive and nil generalized power series reflexive, respectively. We obtain various necessary or sufficient conditions for a ring to be generalized power series reflexive and nil generalized power series reflexive. Examples are given to show that, nil generalized power series reflexive need not be generalized power series reflexive and vice versa, and nil generalized power series reflexive but not semicommutative are presented. We proved that, if R is a left APP-ring, then R is generalized power series reflexive, and R is nil generalized power series reflexive if and only if R/I is nil generalized power series reflexive. Moreover, we investigate ring extensions which have roles in ring theory.

On Almost Armendariz Ring

In this paper,we introduce the notion of an almost Armendariz ring,which is a generalization of an Armendariz ring,and discuss some of its properties.It has been found that every almost Armendariz ring is weak Armendariz but the converse is not true.We prove that a ring R is almost Armendariz if and only if R[x]is almost Armendariz.It is also shown th at if R/I is an almost Armendariz ring and I is a semicommutative ideal,then H is an almost Armendariz ring.Moreover,the class of minimal non-commutative almost Armendariz rings is completely determined,up to isomorphism(minimal means having smallest cardinality).

The McCoy Condition on Skew Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt Extensions

In this paper,we study the notion of McCoy ring over the class of non-commutative rings of polynomial type known as skew Poincare–Birkhoff–Witt extensions.As a consequence,we generalize several results about this notion considered in the literature for commutative rings and Ore extensions.
