A ring is nil-clean if every element is a sum of a nilpotent and an idempotent, and a ring is involution-clean if every element is a sum of an involution and an idempotent. In this paper, a description of nil-clean rings of nilpotency index at most 2 is obtained, and is applied to improve a known result on involution-clean rings.

Let n be a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra which has an inner product <,> and has an orthogonal decomposition $n=\delta{\oplus}\varsigma$ for its center $\delta$ and the orthogonal complement $\varsigma\;of\;\delta$. Then Each element Z of $\delta$ defines a skew symmetric linear map $J_Z:\varsigma{\rightarrow}\varsigma$ given by $=$ for all $X,\;Y{\in}\varsigma$. Let $\gamma$ be a unit speed geodesic in a 2-step nilpotent Lie group H(2, 1) with its Lie algebra n(2, 1) and let its initial velocity ${\gamma}$(0) be given by ${\gamma}(0)=Z_0+X_0{\in}\delta{\oplus}\varsigma=n(2,\;1)$ with its center component $Z_0$ nonzero. Then we showed that $\gamma(0)$ is conjugate to $\gamma(\frac{2n{\pi}}{\theta})$, where n is a nonzero intger and $-{\theta}^2$ is a nonzero eigenvalue of $J^2_{Z_0}$, along $\gamma$ if and only if either $X_0$ is an eigenvector of $J^2_{Z_0}$ or $adX_0:\varsigma{\rightarrow}\delta$ is not surjective.

In this paper, we prove that the range of homomorphism from a C\ulcorner-algebra A into a commutative Banach algebra B whose radical is nil contains no non-zero element of the radical of B. Using this result we show that there is no non-zero homomorphism from a C\ulcorner-algebra into a commutative radical nil Banach algebra.

An element of a ring is called strongly nil clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent element that commute. A ring is strongly nil clean in case each of its elements is strongly nil clean. We investigate, in this article, the strongly nil cleanness of 2${\times}$2 matrices over local rings. For commutative local rings, we characterize strongly nil cleanness in terms of solvability of quadratic equations. The strongly nil cleanness of a single triangular matrix is studied as well.

An element of a ring is called strongly nil clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and a nilpotent element that commute. We characterize, in this article, the strongly nil cleanness of $2{\times}2$ and $3{\times}3$ matrices over $R[x]/(x^2-1)$ where $R$ is a commutative local ring with characteristic 2. Matrix decompositions over fields are derived as special cases.

It is shown that a near-ring N which has no nonzero nilpotent elements is a partially ordered set where $x{\leq}y$ if and only if $yx=x^2$. Also it is shown that $(N,{\leq})$ is infinitely distributive for central elements that is $r(supx_i)=sup(rx_i)$ for every central element r of N and any subset $\{x_i\}$ of N. By using some lemmas we showed that a near-ring without nilpotent elements is isomorphic to a direct product of near-fields if and only if N is hyperatomic and orthogonally complete under the condition that every idempotent of N is central.

We show that the ${\theta}$-prime radical of a ring R is the set of all strongly ${\theta}$-nilpotent elements in R, where ${\theta}$ is an automorphism of R. We observe some conditions under which the ${\theta}$-prime radical of coincides with the prime radical of R. Moreover we characterize elements in prime radicals of skew Laurent polynomial rings, studying (${\theta}$, ${\theta}^{-1}$)-(semi)primeness of ideals of R.

In this note we consider the right unit-duo ring property on the powers of elements, and introduce the concept of weakly right unit-duo ring. We investigate first the properties of weakly right unit-duo rings which are useful to the study of related studies. We observe next various kinds of relations and examples of weakly right unit-duo rings which do roles in ring theory.

We in this note introduce a concept, so called ${\pi}-Armendariz$ ring, that is a generalization of both Armendariz rings and 2-primal rings. We first observe the basic properties of ${\pi}-Armendariz$ rings, constructing typical examples. We next extend the class of ${\pi}-Armendariz$ rings, through various ring extensions.

In this paper, we investigate and characterize the class of A-semirings. A characterization of the Thierrin radical of a proper ideal of an A-semiring is given. Moreover, when P is a Q-ideal in the semiring R, it is shown that P is primary if and only if R/P is nilpotent.
