Let R be a ring with unity, and let I be an ideal of R. Then R is called I-semiregular if for every a ∈ R there exists b ∈ R such that ab is an idempotent of R and a - aba ∈ I. In this paper, basic properties of I-semiregularity are investigated, and some equivalent conditions to the primitivity of e are observed for an idempotent e of an I-semiregular ring R such that I∩eR = (0). For an abelian regular ring R with the ascending chain condition on annihilators of idempotents of R, it is shown that R is isomorphic to a direct product of a finite number of division rings, as a consequence of the observations.

Characterizations of closed subgroups in abelian groups have been generalized to modules in essentially dierent ways; they are in general inequivalent. Here we consider the relations between these generalizations over commutative rings, and we characterize the commutative rings over which they coincide. These are exactly the commutative noetherian distributive rings. We also give a characterization of c-injective modules over commutative noetherian distributive rings. For a noetherian distributive ring R, we prove that, (1) direct product of simple R-modules is c-injective; (2) an R-module D is c-injective if and only if it is isomorphic to a direct summand of a direct product of simple R-modules and injective R-modules.

An idempotent e of a ring R is called right (resp., left) semicentral if er = ere (resp., re = ere) for any r ∈ R, and an idempotent e of R∖{0, 1} will be called right (resp., left) quasicentral provided that for any r ∈ R, there exists an idempotent f = f(e, r) ∈ R∖{0, 1} such that er = erf (resp., re = fre). We show the whole shapes of idempotents and right (left) semicentral idempotents of upper triangular matrix rings and polynomial rings. We next prove that every nontrivial idempotent of the n by n full matrix ring over a principal ideal domain is right and left quasicentral and, applying this result, we can find many right (left) quasicentral idempotents but not right (left) semicentral.

Let G be an abelian group of finite rink and E be the endomorphism ring of G. Then G is a left E-module by defining $f\cdota = f(a)$ for $f \in E$ and $a \in G$. In this case a condition for an E-module G to be regular is given.

The involutions in a left Artinian ring A with identity are investigated. Those left Artinian rings A for which 2 is a unit in A and the set of involutions in A forms a finite abelian group are characterized by the number of involutions in A.

The theory of inverse semigroups has many features in common with the theory of groups. Many different properties of semigroup become the same condition on ring. In this paper, we want to find the properties of semigroups which is preserved by the properties of ring. Also we find that many different properties become the equivalent conditions.

Yu showed that every right (left) primitive factor ring of weakly right (left) duo rings is a division ring. It is not difficult to show that each weakly right (left) duo ring is abelian and has the classical right (left) quotient ring. In this note we first provide a left duo ring (but not weakly right duo) in spite of it being left Noetherian and local. Thus we observe conditions under which weakly one-sided duo rings may be two-sided. We prove that a weakly one-sided duo ring R is weakly duo under each of the following conditions: (1) R is semilocal with nil Jacobson radical; (2) R is locally finite. Based on the preceding case (1) we study a kind of composition length of a right or left Artinian weakly duo ring R, obtaining that i(R) is finite and $\alpha^{i(R)}R\;=\;R\alpha^{i(R)\;=\;R\alpha^{i(R)}R\;for\;all\;\alpha\;{\in}\;R$, where i(R) is the index (of nilpotency) of R. Note that one-sided Artinian rings and locally finite rings are strongly $\pi-regular$. Thus we also observe connections between strongly $\pi-regular$ weakly right duo rings and related rings, constructing available examples.

We study the structure of right duo ring property when it is restricted within the group of units, and introduce the concept of right unit-duo. This newly introduced property is first observed to be not left-right symmetric, and we examine several conditions to ensure the symmetry. Right unit-duo rings are next proved to be Abelian, by help of which the class of noncommutative right unit-duo rings of minimal order is completely determined up to isomorphism. We also investigate some properties of right unit-duo rings which are concerned with annihilating conditions.

Antoine showed that the properties of Armendariz and NI are independent of each other. The study of Armendariz and NI rings has been doing important roles in the research of zero-divisors in noncommutative ring theory. In this article we concern a new class of rings which generalizes both Armendariz and NI rings. The structure of such sort of ring is investigated in relation with near concepts and ordinary ring extensions. Necessary examples are examined in the procedure.

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.
