The classes of clean and nil-clean rings are closed with respect standard constructions as direct products and (triangular) matrix rings, cf. [12] resp. [4], while the classes of weakly (nil-)clean rings are not closed under these constructions. Moreover, while all matrix rings over fields are clean, [12] when we consider nil-clean rings there are strongly restrictions: if a matrix ring over a ...

let $r$ be an associative ring with identity and $z^*(r)$ be its set of non-zero zero divisors.  the zero-divisor graph of $r$, denoted by $gamma(r)$, is the graph whose vertices are the non-zero  zero-divisors of  $r$, and two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if $rs=0$ or $sr=0$.  in this paper, we bring some results about undirected zero-divisor graph of a monoid ring ov...

We show that if $R$ is a ring with an arbitrary idempotent $e$ such that $eRe$ and $(1-e)R(1-e)$ are both strongly nil-clean rings‎, ‎then $R/J(R)$ is nil-clean‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎under certain additional circumstances‎, ‎$R$ is also nil-clean‎. ‎These results somewhat improves on achievements due to Diesl in J‎. ‎Algebra (2013) and to Koc{s}an-Wang-Zhou in J‎. ‎Pure Appl‎. ‎Algebra (2016)‎. ‎...

Jacobson introduced the concept of K-rings, continuing the investigation of Kaplansky and Herstein into the commutativity of rings. In this note we focus on the ring-theoretic properties of K-rings. We first construct basic examples of K-rings to be handled easily. It is shown that a semiprime K-ring of bounded index of nilpotency is a commutative domain. It is proved that if R is a prime K-rin...
