In this note we shall investigate a topological version of the problem of Kurosh: “Is any algebraic algebra locally finite?” Kaplansky’s theorem concerning the local nilpotence of nil PI-algebras is well-known. We will prove a generalization of Kaplansky’s theorem to the class of locally compact rings. We use in the proof a theorem of A. I. Shirshov [8] concerning the height of a finitely gener...

The Newtonian divided-di¤erence operators generate the nil-Coxeter algebra and semigroup. A bijective correspondence between the nil-Coxeter semigroup and the symmetric group is used to provide braid-like diagrams for the former, and corresponding Reidemeister-type moves for the relations. Conditions are given for similar relations to hold in a skew group ring. Interesting extensions of the nil...

One of the many equivalent formulation Köthe's conjecture is assertion that there exists no unital ring which contains two nil right ideals whose sum not nil. We discuss several consequences an observation if Koethe fails then a counterexample in form countable local subring suitable self-injective prime von Neumann regular ring.

A ring R is said to be n-clean if every element can be written as a sum of an idempotent and n units. The class of these rings contains clean ring and n-good rings in which each element is a sum of n units. In this paper, we show that for any ring R, the endomorphism ring of a free R-module of rank at least 2 is 2-clean and that the ring B(R) of all ω × ω row and column-finite matrices over any...

In this paper we introduce a new class of modules which is closely related to the class of Noetherian modules. Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $M$ be an $R$-module such that $Nil(M)$ is a divided prime submodule of $M$. $M$ is called a Nonnil-Noetherian $R$-module if every nonnil submodule of $M$ is finitely generated. We prove that many of the properties of Noetherian modul...

Let R be an Abelian exchange ring. We prove the following results: 1. RZ2 and RS3 are clean rings. 2. If G is a group of prime order p and p is in the Jacobson radical of R, then RG is clean. 3. If identity in R is a sum of two units and G is a locally finite group, then every element in RG is a sum of two units. 4. For any locally finite group G, RG has stable range one. All rings in this note...

We introduce the notion of clean ideal, which is a natural generalization of clean rings. It is shown that every matrix ideal over a clean ideal of a ring is clean. Also we prove that every ideal having stable range one of a regular ring is clean. These generalize the corresponding results for clean rings. 1. Introduction. Let R be a unital ring. We say that R is a clean ring in case every elem...
