Let G be a multiplicative group, K a commutative ring with unit, and K(G) the group ring of G with respect to K. We say that K(G) is regular if given an x in K(G), there is a y in K(G) such that xyx = x. Using a homological characterization of regular rings which was found independently by M. Harada [2, Theorem 5] and the author, we prove that if G is locally finite, then K(G) is regular if and...

We call a module  essentially retractable if HomR for all essential submodules N of M. For a right FBN ring R, it is shown that: (i)  A non-zero module  is retractable (in the sense that HomR for all non-zero ) if and only if certain factor modules of M are essentially retractable nonsingular modules over R modulo their annihilators. (ii)  A non-zero module  is essentially retractable if and on...

It is shown that if R and S are Morita equivalent rings then R has weakly stable range 1 (written as wsr(R) = 1) if and only if S has. Let T be the ring of a Morita context (R,S,M,N,ψ, φ) with zero pairings. If wsr(R) = wsr(S) = 1, we prove that T is a weakly stable ring. A ring R is said to have weakly stable range one if aR + bR = R implies that there exists a y ∈ R such that a + by ∈ R is ri...

We use Dieudonné theory for periodically graded Hopf rings to determine the Dieudonné ring structure of the Z/2(pn − 1)-graded Morava K-theory K(n)∗(−), with p an odd prime, when applied to the Ω-spectrum k(n) ∗ (and to K(n) ∗ We also expand these results in order to accomodate the case of the full Morava K-theory K(n)∗(−).

Doubly and triply N-confused hexaphyrins revealed quite unique photophysical properties arising from confusion of pyrrole rings in the macrocycle, and the molecular shape when compared with their parent regular hexaphyrin molecules.

A module is called uniseriat if it has a unique composition series of finite length. A ring (always with 1) is called serial if its right and left free modules are direct sums of uniserial modules. Nakayama, who called these rings generalized uniserial rings, proved [21, Theorem 171 that every finitely generated module over a serial ring is a direct sum of uniserial modules. In section one we g...

let $r$ be a reversible ring which is $alpha$-compatible for an endomorphism $alpha$ of $r$ and $f(x)=a_0+a_1x+cdots+a_nx^n$ be a nonzero skew polynomial in $r[x;alpha]$. it is proved that if there exists a nonzero skew polynomial $g(x)=b_0+b_1x+cdots+b_mx^m$ in $r[x;alpha]$ such that $g(x)f(x)=c$ is a constant in $r$, then $b_0a_0=c$ and there exist nonzero elements $a$ and $r$ in $r$ such tha...

in this paper, we introduce the concept of the   generalized aip-rings as a generalization of the generalized quasi-   baer rings   and generalized p.p.-rings. we show that the class of the generalized aip-rings is closed under direct products and morita invariance. we also characterize the 2-by-2 formal upper triangular matrix rings of this new class of rings. finally, we provide sever...
