For a ring endomorphism $\sigma$ of a ring R, J. Krempa called $\sigma$ a rigid endomorphism if a$\sigma$(a)＝0 implies a＝0 for a ${\in}$R. A ring R is called rigid if there exists a rigid endomorphism of R. In this paper, we extend the (J'-rigid property of a ring R to the upper nilradical $N_{r}$(R) of R. For an endomorphism R and the upper nilradical $N_{r}$(R) of a ring R, we introduce the condition (*): $N_{r}$(R) is a $\sigma$-ideal of R and a$\sigma$(a) ${\in}$ $N_{r}$(R) implies a ${\in}$ $N_{r}$(R) for a ${\in}$ R. We study characterizations of a ring R with an endomorphism $\sigma$ satisfying the condition (*), and we investigate their related properties. The connections between the upper nilradical of R and the upper nilradical of the skew power series ring R[[$\chi$;$\sigma$]] of R are also investigated.ated.

A ring R is called right (resp., left) nilpotent-duo if N(R)a ⊆ aN(R) (resp., aN(R) ⊆ N(R)a) for every a ∈ R, where N(R) is the set of all nilpotents in R. In this article we provide other proofs of known results and other computations for known examples in relation with right nilpotent-duo property. Furthermore we show that the left nilpotent-duo property does not go up to a kind of matrix ring.
