Semi-meet-prime projective modules and fully invariant meet-prime submodules of a projective module are studied. Actually a generalization of the Schur's lemma and semi-prime endmorphism rings of projective modules are considered.

In this paper, several properties of endomorphism rings of modules are investigated. A multiplication module M over a commutative ring R induces a commutative ring $M^*$ of endomorphisms of M and hence the relation between the prime (maximal) submodules of M and the prime (maximal) ideals of $M^*$ can be found. In particular, two classes of ideals of $M^*$ are discussed in this paper: one is of the form $G_{M^*}\;(M,\;N)\;=\;\{f\;{\in}\;M^*\;|\;f(M)\;{\subseteq}\;N\}$ and the other is of the form $G_{M^*}\;(N,\;0)\;=\;\{f\;{\in}\;M^*\;|\;f(N)\;=\;0\}$ for a submodule N of M.

We study Baer and quasi-Baer modules over some classes of rings. We also introduce a new class of modules called AI-modules, in which the kernel of every nonzero endomorphism is contained in a proper direct summand. The main results obtained here are: (1) A module is Baer iff it is an AI-module and has SSIP. (2) For a perfect ring R, the direct sum of Baer modules is Baer iff R is primary decomposable. (3) Every injective R-module is quasi-Baer iff R is a QI-ring.

Let $\sigma$ be an endomorphism and I a $\sigma$-ideal of a ring R. Pearson and Stephenson called I a $\sigma$-semiprime ideal if whenever A is an ideal of R and m is an integer such that $A{\sigma}^t(A)\;{\subseteq}\;I$ for all $t\;{\geq}\;m$, then $A\;{\subseteq}\;I$, where $\sigma$ is an automorphism, and Hong et al. called I a $\sigma$-rigid ideal if $a{\sigma}(a)\;{\in}\;I$ implies a $a\;{\in}\;I$ for $a\;{\in}\;R$. Notice that R is called a $\sigma$-semiprime ring (resp., a $\sigma$-rigid ring) if the zero ideal of R is a $\sigma$-semiprime ideal (resp., a $\sigma$-rigid ideal). Every $\sigma$-rigid ideal is a $\sigma$-semiprime ideal for an automorphism $\sigma$, but the converse does not hold, in general. We, in this paper, introduce the quasi $\sigma$-rigidness of ideals and rings for an automorphism $\sigma$ which is in between the $\sigma$-rigidness and the $\sigma$-semiprimeness, and study their related properties. A number of connections between the quasi $\sigma$-rigidness of a ring R and one of the Ore extension $R[x;\;{\sigma},\;{\delta}]$ of R are also investigated. In particular, R is a (principally) quasi-Baer ring if and only if $R[x;\;{\sigma},\;{\delta}]$ is a (principally) quasi-Baer ring, when R is a quasi $\sigma$-rigid ring.

Let R be a ring with an endomorphism $\sigma$ and a derivation $\delta$. An ideal I of R is ($\sigma,\;\delta$)-ideal of R if $\sigma(I){\subseteq}I$ and $\delta(I){\subseteq}I$. An ideal P of R is a ($\sigma,\;\delta$)-prime ideal of R if P(${\neq}R$) is a ($\sigma,\;\delta$)-ideal and for ($\sigma,\;\delta$)-ideals I and J of R, $IJ{\subseteq}P$ implies that $I{\subseteq}P$ or $J{\subseteq}P$. An ideal Q of R is ($\sigma,\;\delta$)-semiprime ideal of R if Q is a ($\sigma,\;\delta$)-ideal and for ($\sigma,\;\delta$)-ideal I of R, $I^2{\subseteq}Q$ implies that $I{\subseteq}Q$. The ($\sigma,\;\delta$)-prime radical (resp. prime radical) is defined by the intersection of all ($\sigma,\;\delta$)-prime ideals (resp. prime ideals) of R and is denoted by $P_{(\sigma,\delta)}(R)$(resp. P(R)). In this paper, the following results are obtained: (1) $P_{(\sigma,\delta)}(R)$ is the smallest ($\sigma,\;\delta$)-semiprime ideal of R; (2) For every extended endomorphism $\bar{\sigma}$ of $\sigma$, the $\bar{\sigma}$-prime radical of an Ore extension $P(R[x;\sigma,\delta])$ is equal to $P_{\sigma,\delta}(R)[x;\sigma,\delta]$.

The concept of the quasi-Armendariz property of rings properly contains Armendariz rings and semiprime rings. In this paper, we extend the quasi-Armendariz property for a polynomial ring to the skew polynomial ring, hence we call such ring a ${\sigma}$-quasi-Armendariz ring for a ring endomorphism ${\sigma}$, and investigate its structures, several extensions and related properties. In particular, we study the semiprimeness and the quasi-Armendariz property between a ring R and the skew polynomial ring R[x;${\sigma}$$] of R, and so these provide us with an opportunity to study quasi-Armendariz rings and semiprime rings in a general setting, and several known results follow as consequences of our results.

In this paper, we investigate the insertion-of-factors-property (simply, IFP) on skew polynomial rings, introducing the concept of strongly ${\sigma}-IFP$ for a ring endomorphism ${\sigma}$. A ring R is said to have strongly ${\sigma}-IFP$ if the skew polynomial ring R[x;${\sigma}$] has IFP. We examine some characterizations and extensions of strongly ${\sigma}-IFP$ rings in relation with several ring theoretic properties which have important roles in ring theory. We also extend many of related basic results to the wider classes, and so several known results follow as consequences of our results.

Lambek introduced the concept of symmetric rings to expand the commutative ideal theory to noncommutative rings. In this study, we propose an extension of symmetric rings called strongly α-symmetric rings, which serves as both a generalization of strongly symmetric rings and an extension of symmetric rings. We define a ring R as strongly α-symmetric if the skew polynomial ring R[x; α] is symmetric. Consequently, we provide proofs for previously established outcomes regarding symmetric and strongly symmetric rings, directly derived from the results we have obtained. Furthermore, we explore various properties and extensions of strongly α-symmetric rings.

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.

The semicommutative property of rings was introduced initially by Bell, and has done important roles in noncommutative ring theory. This concept was generalized to one of nil-semicommutative by Chen. We first study some basic properties of nil-semicommutative rings. We next investigate the structure of Ore extensions when upper nilradicals are ${\sigma}$-rigid ${\delta}$-ideals, examining the nil-semicommutative ring property of Ore extensions and skew power series rings, where ${\sigma}$ is a ring endomorphism and ${\delta}$ is a ${\sigma}$-derivation.
