A ring R is called strongly clean if every element of R is the sum of a unit and an idempotent that commute with each other. A recent result of Borooah, Diesl and Dorsey [3] completely characterized the commutative local rings R for which Mn(R) is strongly clean. For a general local ring R and n > 1, however, it is unknown when the matrix ring Mn(R) is strongly clean. Here we completely determi...

We prove that all trace $1$, $2\times 2$ invertible matrices over $\mathbb{Z}$ are nil-clean and, up to similarity, there only two $\mathbb{Z}$.

Let R be a commutative local ring. It is proved that R is Henselian if and only if each R-algebra which is a direct limit of module finite R-algebras is strongly clean. So, the matrix ring Mn(R) is strongly clean for each integer n > 0 if R is Henselian and we show that the converse holds if either the residue class field of R is algebraically closed or R is an integrally closed domain or R is ...

We completely determine those natural numbers $n$ for which the full matrix ring $M_n(F_2)$ and triangular $T_n(F_2)$ over two elements field $F_2$ are either n-torsion clean or almost clean, respectively. These results somewhat address settle a question, recently posed by Danchev-Matczuk in Contemp. Math. (2019) as well they supply more precise aspect nil-cleanness property of $n\times n$ all ...

In this paper we partially answer two open questions concerning clean rings. First, we demonstrate that if a quasi-continuous module is strongly clean then it is Dedekind-finite. Second, we prove a partial converse. We also prove that all clean decompositions on submodules of continuous modules extend to the entire module.
