Let R be a ring with identity $1_R$ and let U(R) denote the group of all units of R. A ring R is called locally finite if every finite subset in it generates a finite semi group multiplicatively. In this paper, some results are obtained as follows: (1) for any semilocal (hence semiperfect) ring R, U(R) is a finite (resp. locally finite) group if and only if R is a finite (resp. locally finite) ring; U(R) is a locally finite group if and only if U$(M_n(R))$ is a locally finite group where $M_n(R)$ is the full matrix ring of $n{\times}n$ matrices over R for any positive integer n; in addition, if $2=1_R+1_R$ is a unit in R, then U(R) is an abelian group if and only if R is a commutative ring; (2) for any semiperfect ring R, if E(R), the set of all idempotents in R, is commuting, then $R/J\cong\oplus_{i=1}^mD_i$ where each $D_i$ is a division ring for some positive integer m and |E(R)|=$2^m$; in addition, if 2=$1_R+1_R$ is a unit in R, then every idempotent is central.

In this paper, we define ⊕_δ-co-coatomically supplemented and co-coatomically δ-semiperfect modules as a strongly notion of ⊕-co-coatomically supplemented and co-coatomically semiperfect modules with the help of Zhou's radical. We say that a module A is ⊕_δ-co-coatomically supplemented if each co-coatomic submodule of A has a δ-supplement in A which is a direct summand of A. And a module A is co-coatomically δ-semiperfect if each coatomic factor module of A has a projective δ-cover. Also we define co-coatomically amply δ-supplemented modules and we examined the basic properties of these modules. Furthermore, we give a ring characterization for our modules. In particular, a ring R is δ-semiperfect if and only if each free R-module is co-coatomically δ-semiperfect.

Let R be a ring with identity 1, I(R) be the set of all idempotents in R and G be the group of all units of R. In this paper, we show that for any semiperfect ring R in which 2 = 1+1 is a unit, I(R) is closed under multiplication if and only if R is a direct sum of local rings if and only if the set of all minimal idempotents in R is closed under multiplication and eGe is contained in the group of units of eRe. In particular, for a left Artinian ring in which 2 is a unit, R is a direct sum of local rings if and only if the set of all minimal idempotents in R is closed under multiplication.

Lomp [9] has studied finitely generated projective modules over semilocal rings. He obtained the following: finitely generated projective modules over semilocal rings are semilocal. We shall give necessary and sufficient conditions for finitely generated modules to be semilocal modules. By using a lifting property, we also give characterizations of right perfect (semiperfect) rings. Our main results can be summarized as follows: (1) Let M be a finitely generated module. Then M has finite hollow dimension if and only if M is weakly supplemented if and only if M is semilocal. (2) A ring R is right perfect if and only if every flat right R-module is lifting and every right R-module has a flat cover if and only if every quasi-projective right R-module is lifting. (3) A ring R is semiperfect if and only if every finitely generated flat right R-module is lifting if and only if RR satisfies the lifting property for simple factor modules.

Let R be an associative ring with identity and M be a left R-module. In this paper, we define modules that have the property (δ-CE) ((δ-CEE)), these are modules that have a δ-supplement (ample δ-supplements) in every cofinite extension which are generalized version of modules that have the properties (CE) and (CEE) introduced in [6] and so a generalization of Zöschinger's modules with the properties (E) and (EE) given in [23]. We investigate various properties of these modules along with examples. In particular we prove these: (1) a module M has the property (δ-CEE) if and only if every submodule of M has the property (δ-CE); (2) direct summands of a module that has the property (δ-CE) also have the property (δ-CE); (3) each factor module of a module that has the property (δ-CE) also has the property (δ-CE) under a special condition; (4) every module with composition series has the property (δ-CE); (5) over a δ-V -ring a module M has the property (δ-CE) if and only if M is cofinitely injective; (6) a ring R is δ-semiperfect if and only if every left R-module has the property (δ-CE).

In [9], the author extends the definition of lifting and supplemented modules to ${\delta}$-lifting and ${\delta}$-supplemented by replacing "small submodule" with "${\delta}$-small submodule" introduced by Zhou in [13]. The aim of this paper is to show new properties of ${\delta}$-lifting and ${\delta}$-supplemented modules. Especially, we show that any finite direct sum of ${\delta}$-hollow modules is ${\delta}$-supplemented. On the other hand, the notion of amply ${\delta}$-supplemented modules is studied as a generalization of amply supplemented modules and several properties of these modules are given. We also prove that a module M is Artinian if and only if M is amply ${\delta}$-supplemented and satisfies Descending Chain Condition (DCC) on ${\delta}$-supplemented modules and on ${\delta}$-small submodules. Finally, we obtain the following result: a ring R is right Artinian if and only if R is a ${\delta}$-semiperfect ring which satisfies DCC on ${\delta}$-small right ideals of R.

Let R be a ring with the unity 1, and let e be an idempotent of R. In this paper, we discuss some symmetric property for the set $\{(a_1,a_2,{\cdots},a_n){\in}R^n:a_1a_2{\cdots}a_n=e\}$. We here investigate some properties of those rings with such a symmetric property for an arbitrary idempotent e; some of our results turn out to generalize some known results observed already when n = 2 and e = 0, 1 by several authors. We also focus especially on the case when n = 3 and e = 1. As consequences of our observation, we also give some equivalent conditions to the commutativity for some classes of rings, in terms of the symmetric property.

In this paper, we introduce a class of rings generalizing unit regular rings and being a subclass of semipotent rings, which is called idempotent unit regular. We call a ring R an idempotent unit regular ring if for all r ∈ R - J(R), there exist a non-zero idempotent e and a unit element u in R such that er = eu, where this condition is left and right symmetric. Thus, we have also that there exist a non-zero idempotent e and a unit u such that ere = eue for all r ∈ R - J(R). Various basic characterizations and properties of this class of rings are proved and it is given the relationships between this class of rings and some well-known classes of rings such as semiperfect, clean, exchange and semipotent. Moreover, we obtain some results about when the endomorphism ring of a module in a class of left R-modules X is idempotent unit regular.

This article mainly concentrates on the open question whether a right self-injective ring R is necessary QF if $R/S_l$ is left Goldie. It is answered affirmatively under the condition $S_l{\subseteq}S_r$, where $S_l$ and $S_r$ denote the left socle and right socle of R respectively. And the original condition "right self-injective" can be weakened to "right CS and right P-injective". It is also proved that a semiperfect, left and right mininjective ring R is QF if $S_r{\subseteq}^{ess}$ $R_R$ and $R/S_l$ is left Goldie.

In this paper, we introduce and study the notions of weakly ⊕-supplemented modules, weakly D2 modules and weakly D2-covers. A right R-module M is called weakly ⊕-supplemented if every non-small submodule of M has a supplement that is not essential in M, and module M_R is called weakly D2 if it satisfies the condition: for every s ∈ S and s ≠ 0, if there exists n ∈ ℕ such that sⁿ ≠ 0 and Im(sⁿ) is a direct summand of M, then Ker(sⁿ) is a direct summand of M. The class of weakly ⊕-supplemented-modules and weakly D2 modules contains ⊕-supplemented modules and D2 modules, respectively, and they are equivalent in case M is uniform, and projective, respectively.
