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 (...

We study co-Frobenius and more generally quasi-co-Frobenius corings over arbitrary base rings and over PF base rings in particular. We generalize some results about co-Frobenius and quasi-co-Frobenius coalgebras to the case of noncommutative base rings and give several new characterizations for co-Frobenius and more generally quasi-co-Frobenius corings, some of them are new even in the coalgebr...

We mainly investigate the structures of skew cyclic and skew quasicyclic codes of arbitrary length over Galois rings. Similar to [5], our results show that the skew cyclic codes are equivalent to either cyclic and quasi-cyclic codes over Galois rings. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for skew cyclic codes over Galois rings to be free. A sufficient condition for 1-generator...

In this paper, we give a notation on the Singleton bounds for linear codes over a finite commutative quasi-Frobenius ring in the work of Shiromoto [5]. We show that there exists a class of finite commutative quasi-Frobenius rings. The Singleton bounds for linear codes over such rings satisfy d(C) − 1 A ≤ n− log|R| |C|. keywords : Linear codes, General weight, Quasi-Frobenius ring, Singleton bounds

A ring R is called a left APP-ring if the left annihilator lR(Ra) is right s-unital as an ideal of R for any element a ∈ R. We consider left APP-property of the skew formal power series ring R[[x;α]] where α is a ring automorphism of R. It is shown that if R is a ring satisfying descending chain condition on right annihilators then R[[x;α]] is left APP if and only if for any sequence (b0, b1, ....

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...
