Every ring considered in the paper will be assumed to be commutative and have a unit element. An ideal A of a ring R will be called primal if the elements of R which are zero divisors modulo A, form an ideal of R, say pp. If A is a primal ideal of R, P is called the adjoint ideal of A. The adjoint ideal of a primal ideal is prime [2]. The definition of primal ideals may also be formulated as follows: An ideal A of a ring R is primal if in the residue class ring R/A the zero divisors form an ideal of R/A. If Q is a primary idel of a ring R then every zero divisor of R/Q is nilpotent; therefore, Q is a primal ideal of R. That a primal ideal need not be primary, is shown by an example in [2]. Let R[X], and R[[X]] denote the polynomial ring and formal power series ring in an indeterminate X over a ring R, respectively. Let S be a multiplicative system in a ring R and S$^{-1}$ R the quotient ring of R. Let Q be a P-primary ideal of a ring R. Then Q[X] is a P[X]-primary ideal of R[X], and S$^{-1}$ Q is a S$^{-1}$ P-primary ideal of a ring S$^{-1}$ R if S.cap.P=.phi., and Q[[X]] is a P[[X]]-primary ideal of R[[X]] if R is Noetherian [1]. We search for analogous results when primary ideals are replaced with primal ideals. To show an ideal A of a ring R to be primal, it sufficies to show that a-b is a zero divisor modulo A whenever a and b are zero divisors modulo A.

In this article we investigate the structure of rings in which lower nilradicals coincide with upper nilradicals. Such rings shall be said to be quasi-2-primal. It is shown first that the $K{\ddot{o}}the^{\prime}s$ conjecture holds for quasi-2-primal rings. So the results in this article may provide interesting and useful information to the study of nilradicals in various situations. In the procedure we study the structure of quasi-2-primal rings, and observe various kinds of quasi-2-primal rings which do roles in ring theory.

This paper is motivated by the results in [2], [10], [13] and [19]. We study some properties of generalizations of commutative rings and relations between them. We also show that for a right quasi-duo right weakly ${\pi}-regular$ ring R, R is an (S,2)-ring if and only if every idempotent in R is a sum of two units in R, which gives a generalization of [2, Theorem 4] on right quasi-duo rings. Moreover we find a condition which is equivalent to the strongly ${\pi}-regularity$ of an abelian right quasi-duo ring.

Let R be a 2-primal strongly 2-nil-clean ring. We prove that every square matrix over R is the sum of a tripotent and a nilpotent matrices. The similar result for rings of bounded index is proved. We thereby provide a large class of rings over which every matrix is the sum of a tripotent and a nilpotent matrices.

A skew generalized power series ring R[[S, 𝜔]] consists of all functions from a strictly ordered monoid S to a ring R whose support contains neither infinite descending chains nor infinite antichains, with pointwise addition, and with multiplication given by convolution twisted by an action 𝜔 of the monoid S on the ring R. Special cases of the skew generalized power series ring construction are skew polynomial rings, skew Laurent polynomial rings, skew power series rings, skew Laurent series rings, skew monoid rings, skew group rings, skew Mal'cev-Neumann series rings, the "untwisted" versions of all of these, and generalized power series rings. In this paper we obtain some necessary conditions on R, S and 𝜔 such that the skew generalized power series ring R[[S, 𝜔]] is (uniquely) clean. As particular cases of our general results we obtain new theorems on skew Mal'cev-Neumann series rings, skew Laurent series rings, and generalized power series rings.

In this paper we study the connection between 2-primal rings, (S,1)-rings and related conditions. And we investigate some condition which is the special case of pseudo symmetric. We also study the condition (KJ) which is given by J. Y. Kim and H. L. Jin. We introduce some condition and we prove that our condition is equivalent to the condition (KJ) when it is an (S,1)-ring.

In this article, we generalize a well-known result of Hebisch and Weinert that states that a finite semidomain is either zerosumfree or a ring. Specifically, we show that the class of commutative semirings S such that S has nonzero characteristic and every zero-divisor of S is nilpotent can be partitioned into zerosumfree semirings and rings. In addition, we demonstrate that if S is a finite commutative semiring such that the set of zero-divisors of S forms a subtractive ideal of S, then either every zero-sum of S is nilpotent or S must be a ring. An example is given to establish the existence of semirings in this latter category with both nontrivial zero-sums and zero-divisors that are not nilpotent.
