let $r$ be an arbitrary ring with identity and $m$ a right $r$-module with $s=$ end$_r(m)$. the module $m$ is called {it rickart} if for any $fin s$, $r_m(f)=se$ for some $e^2=ein s$. we prove that some results of principally projective rings and baer modules can be extended to rickart modules for this general settings.

A ring $R$ with an automorphism $sigma$ and a $sigma$-derivation $delta$ is called $delta$-quasi-Baer (resp., $sigma$-invariant quasi-Baer) if the right annihilator of every $delta$-ideal (resp., $sigma$-invariant ideal) of $R$ is generated by an idempotent, as a right ideal. In this paper, we study Baer and quasi-Baer properties of skew PBW extensions. More exactly, let $A=sigma(R)leftlangle x...

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...

for a fixed positive integer , we say a ring with identity is n-generalized right principally quasi-baer, if for any principal right ideal of , the right annihilator of is generated by an idempotent. this class of rings includes the right principally quasi-baer rings and hence all prime rings. a certain n-generalized principally quasi-baer subring of the matrix ring are studied, and connections...

we introduce the notions of t-dual rickart and strongly t-dual rickart modules. we provide several characterizations and investigate properties of each of these concepts. it is shown that every free (resp. finitely generated free) $r$-module is t-dual rickart if and only if $overline{z}^2(r)$ is a  direct summand of $r$ and end$(overline{z}^2(r))$ is a semisimple (resp. regular) ring. it is sho...
