A property of reduced rings is proved in relation with centers, and our argument in this article is spread out based on this. It is also proved that the Wedderburn radical coincides with the set of all nilpotents in symmetric-over-center rings, implying that the Jacobson radical, all nilradicals, and the set of all nilpotents are equal in polynomial rings over symmetric-over-center rings. It is shown that reduced rings are reversible-over-center, and that given reversible-over-center rings, various sorts of reversible-over-center rings can be constructed. The structure of radicals in reversible-over-center and symmetric-over-center rings is also investigated.

We prove, in this note, that a Zabavsky ring R is an elementary divisor ring if and only if R is a $B{\acute{e}}zout$ ring. Many known results are thereby generalized to much wider class of rings, e.g. [4, Theorem 14], [7, Theorem 4], [9, Theorem 1.2.14], [11, Theorem 4] and [12, Theorem 7].

An element of a ring R with identity is called strongly clean if it is the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commute, and R is called strongly clean if every element of R is strongly clean. Let R be a noncommutative local ring, a criterion in terms of solvability of a simple quadratic equation in R is obtained for $M_2$(R) to be strongly clean.

We study the structure of rings whose principal right ideals contain a sort of two-sided ideals, introducing right ${\pi}$-duo as a generalization of (weakly) right duo rings. Abelian ${\pi}$-regular rings are ${\pi}$-duo, which is compared with the fact that Abelian regular rings are duo. For a right ${\pi}$-duo ring R, it is shown that every prime ideal of R is maximal if and only if R is a (strongly) ${\pi}$-regular ring with $J(R)=N_*(R)$. This result may be helpful to develop several well-known results related to pm rings (i.e., rings whose prime ideals are maximal). We also extend the right ${\pi}$-duo property to several kinds of ring which have roles in ring theory.

Let A and B be rings and U be a (B, A)-bimodule. If _BU has finite flat dimension, U_A has finite flat dimension and U ⊗_A C is a cotorsion left B-module for any cotorsion left A-module C, then the Gorenstein flat-cotorsion modules over the formal triangular matrix ring $T=\(\array{A&0\\U&B}\)$ are explicitly described. As an application, it is proven that each Gorenstein flat-cotorsion left T-module is flat-cotorsion if and only if every Gorenstein flat-cotorsion left A-module and B-module is flat-cotorsion. In addition, Gorenstein flat-cotorsion dimensions over the formal triangular matrix ring T are studied.

We observe the basic structure of the products of coefficients of nilpotent (left) polynomials in skew polynomial rings. This study consists of a process to extend a well-known result for semi-Armendariz rings. We introduce the concept of ${\alpha}$-skew n-semi-Armendariz ring, where ${\alpha}$ is a ring endomorphism. We prove that a ring R is ${\alpha}$-rigid if and only if the n by n upper triangular matrix ring over R is $\bar{\alpha}$-skew n-semi-Armendariz. This result are applicable to several known results.

We in this note consider a generalized ring theoretic property of quasi-commutative rings in relation with powers. We will use the terminology of weakly left quasi-commutative for the class of rings satisfying such property. The properties and examples are basically investigated in the procedure of studying idempotents and nilpotent elements.

For an endomorphism $\alpha$ of a ring R, we introduce the weak $\alpha$-skew Armendariz rings which are a generalization of the $\alpha$-skew Armendariz rings and the weak Armendariz rings, and investigate their properties. Moreover, we prove that a ring R is weak $\alpha$-skew Armendariz if and only if for any n, the $n\;{\times}\;n$ upper triangular matrix ring $T_n(R)$ is weak $\bar{\alpha}$-skew Armendariz, where $\bar{\alpha}\;:\;T_n(R)\;{\rightarrow}\;T_n(R)$ is an extension of $\alpha$ If R is reversible and $\alpha$ satisfies the condition that ab = 0 implies $a{\alpha}(b)=0$ for any a, b $\in$ R, then the ring R[x]/($x^n$) is weak $\bar{\alpha}$-skew Armendariz, where ($x^n$) is an ideal generated by $x^n$, n is a positive integer and $\bar{\alpha}\;:\;R[x]/(x^n)\;{\rightarrow}\;R[x]/(x^n)$ is an extension of $\alpha$. If $\alpha$ also satisfies the condition that ${\alpha}^t\;=\;1$ for some positive integer t, the ring R[x] (resp, R[x; $\alpha$) is weak $\bar{\alpha}$-skew (resp, weak) Armendariz, where $\bar{\alpha}\;:\;R[x]\;{\rightarrow}\;R[x]$ is an extension of $\alpha$.

We continue the study of McCoy condition to analyze zero-dividing polynomials for the constant annihilators in the ideals generated by the coefficients. In the process we introduce the concept of ideal-${\pi}$-McCoy rings, extending known results related to McCoy condition. It is shown that the class of ideal-${\pi}$-McCoy rings contains both strongly McCoy rings whose non-regular polynomials are nilpotent and 2-primal rings. We also investigate relations between the ideal-${\pi}$-McCoy property and other standard ring theoretic properties. Moreover we extend the class of ideal-${\pi}$-McCoy rings by examining various sorts of ordinary ring extensions.

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.
