Weakly Semicommutative Rings and Strongly Regular Rings

A ring R is called weakly semicommutative ring if for any a, $b{\in}R^*$ = R\{0} with ab = 0, there exists $n{\geq}1$ such that either an $a^n{\neq}0$ and $a^nRb=0$ or $b^n{\neq}0$ and $aRb^n=0$. In this paper, many properties of weakly semicommutative rings are introduced, some known results are extended. Especially, we show that a ring R is a strongly regular ring if and only if R is a left SF-ring and weakly semicommutative ring.
