In this paper we define and study a new kind of dimension called, semisimple dimension, that measures how far a module is from being semisimple. Like other kinds of dimensions, this is an ordinal valued invariant. We give some interesting and useful properties of rings or modules which have semisimple dimension. It is shown that a noetherian module with semisimple dimension is an artinian module. A domain with semisimple dimension is a division ring. Also, for a semiprime right non-singular ring R, if its maximal right quotient ring has semisimple dimension as a right R-module, then R is a semisimple artinian ring. We also characterize rings whose modules have semisimple dimension. In fact, it is shown that all right R-modules have semisimple dimension if and only if the free right R-module ${\oplus}^{\infty}_{i=1}$ R has semisimple dimension, if and only if R is a semisimple artinian ring.

P. V$\acute{a}$mos called a ring R 2-good if every element is the sum of two units. The ring of all $n{\times}n$ matrices over an elementary divisor ring is 2-good. A (right) self-injective von Neumann regular ring is 2-good provided it has no 2-torsion. Some of the earlier results known to us about 2-good rings (although nobody so called at those times) were due to Ehrlich, Henriksen, Fisher, Snider, Rapharl and Badawi. We continue in this paper the study of 2-good rings by several authors. We give some examples of 2-good rings and their related properties. In particular, it is shown that if R is an exchange ring with Artinian primitive factors and 2 is a unit in R, then R is 2-good. We also investigate various kinds of extensions of 2-good rings, including the polynomial extension, Nagata extension and Dorroh extension.

In this paper, we introduce a new class of rings, SB-rings. We establish various properties of this concept. These shows that, in several respects, SB-rings behave like rings satisfying unit 1-stable range. We will give necessary and sufficient conditions under which a semilocal ring is a SB-ring. Furthermore, we extend these results to exchange rings with all primitive factors artinian. For such rings, we observe that the concept of the SB-ring coincides with Goodearl-Menal condition. These also generalize the results of Huh et al., Yu and the author on rings generated by their units.

Let R be a ring. A right R-module M is PS-injective if every R-homomorphism $f:aR{\rightarrow}M$ for every principally small right ideal aR can be extended to $R{\rightarrow}M$. We investigate, in this paper, rings whose simple singular modules are PS-injective. New characterizations of semiprimitive rings and semisimple Artinian rings are given.

Endomorphism rings of Aritinian modules need not be semiperfect by a result of Camps and Mena [4], which answers in the negative to a question of Crawley and Jonsson[5]. However it was shown by Camps and Dicks[3] that endomorphism rings of a certain class of Artinian modules, we investigate some interesting structures of endormorphism rings of CS-modules.

W. Liu [11] has studied fuzzy ideals of a ring, and many researchers [5,6,7,16] are engaged in extending the concepts. The notion of fuzzy ideals and its properties were applied to various areas: semigroups [8,9,10,13,15], distributive lattices [2], artinian rings [12], BCK-algebras [14], near-rings [1]. In this paper we obtained an exact analogue of fuzzy ideals for near-ring which was discussed in [5, 11].

Let R be a ring with identity, X(R) the set of all nonzero, non-units of R and G(R) the group of all units of R. We show that for a matrix ring $M_n(D)$, $n{\geq}2$, if a, b are singular matrices of the same rank, then ${\mid}o_{\ell}(a){\mid}={\mid}o_{\ell}(b){\mid}$, where $o_{\ell}(a)$ and $o_{\ell}(b)$ are the orbits of a and b, respectively, under the left regular action. We also show that for a semisimple Artinian ring R such that $X(R){\neq}{\emptyset}$, $$R{{\sim_=}}{\oplus}^m_{i=1}M_n_i(D_i)$$, with $D_i$ infinite division rings of the same cardinalities or R is isomorphic to the ring of $2{\times}2$ matrices over a finite field if and only if ${\mid}o_{\ell}(x){\mid}={\mid}o_{\ell}(y){\mid}$ for all $x,y{\in}X(R)$.

In this paper, the concepts of ω-linked homomorphisms, the ω_𝜙-operation, and DW_𝜙 rings are introduced. Also the relationships between ω_𝜙-ideals and ω-ideals over a ω-linked homomorphism 𝜙 : R → T are discussed. More precisely, it is shown that every ω_𝜙-ideal of T is a ω-ideal of T. Besides, it is shown that if T is not a DW_𝜙 ring, then T must have an infinite number of maximal ω_𝜙-ideals. Finally we give an application of Cohen's Theorem over ω-factor rings, namely it is shown that an integral domain R is an SM-domain with ω-dim(R) ≤ 1, if and only if for any nonzero ω-ideal I of R, (R/I)_ω is an Artinian ring, if and only if for any nonzero element α ∈ R, (R/(a))_ω is an Artinian ring, if and only if for any nonzero element α ∈ R, R satisfies the descending chain condition on ω-ideals of R containing a.
