Throughout this paper, R will represent an associative ring with center Z(R). A ring R is n-torsion free, where n > 1 is an integer, in case nx = 0, x ∈ R implies x = 0. As usual the commutator xy− yx will be denoted by [x, y]. We will use basic commutator identities [xy,z] = [x,z]y + x[y,z] and [x, yz] = [x, y]z+ y[x,z]. Recall that a ring R is prime if aRb = (0) implies that either a = 0 or b...

We introduce center-like subsets Z*(R,f), Z**(R,f) and Z1(R,f), where R is a ring and f is a map from R to R. For f a derivation or a non-identity epimorphism and R a suitably-chosen prime or semiprime ring, we prove that these sets coincide with the center of R.

in this paper we focus on a special class of commutative local‎ ‎rings called spap-rings and study the relationship between this‎ ‎class and other classes of rings‎. ‎we characterize the structure of‎ ‎modules and especially‎, ‎the prime submodules of free modules over‎ ‎an spap-ring and derive some basic properties‎. ‎then we answer the‎ ‎question of lam and reyes about strongly oka ideals fam...

In this paper we investgate some properties of fuzzy ideal extension of fuzzy ideal, fuzzy prime ideal, fuzzy semiprime ideal of a Γ−semiring. Among other results we have obtained a characterization of a prime ideal I of a Γ−semiring in terms of fuzzy ideal extension of its characteristic function λI .
