In this paper, we generalize the notions uniformly S-flat, briefly u-S-flat, modules and dimensions. We introduce and study the notions of weak u-S-flat modules. An R-module M is said to be weak u-S-flat if Tor^R₁ (R/I, M) is u-S-torsion for any ideal I of R. This new class of modules will be used to characterize u-S-von Neumann regular rings. Hence, we introduce the weak u-S-flat dimensions of modules and rings. The relations between the introduced dimensions and other (classical) homological dimensions are discussed.

Reduced Von Neumann Regular ring is pseudo symmetric and N(R) is reduced. Thus N(R) is pseudo symmetric and M(R) is reduced if and only if M(R) = N(R).

A ring R called left SF if its simple left modules are at. Regular rings are known to be left SF-rings. However, till date it is unknown whether a left SF-ring is necessarily regular. In this paper, we prove the strong regularity of left (right) complement bounded left SF-rings. We also prove the strong regularity of a class of generalized semi-commutative left SF-rings.

We introduce in this paper the concept of idempotent reflexive right ideals and concern with rings containing an injective maximal right ideal. Some known results for reflexive rings and right HI-rings can be extended to idempotent reflexive rings. As applications, we are able to give a new characterization of regular right self-injective rings with nonzero socle and extend a known result for right weakly regular rings.

In this paper, we will investigate the concept of the torsion-graph of an R-module M, in which the set $T(M)^*$ makes up the vertices of the corresponding torsion graph, ${\Gamma}(M)$, with any two distinct vertices forming an edge if $[x:M][y:M]M=0$. We prove that, if ${\Gamma}(M)$ contains a cycle, then $gr({\Gamma}(M)){\leq}4$ and ${\Gamma}(M)$ has a connected induced subgraph ${\overline{\Gamma}}(M)$ with vertex set $\{m{\in}T(M)^*{\mid}Ann(m)M{\neq}0\}$ and diam$({\overline{\Gamma}}(M)){\leq}3$. Moreover, if M is a multiplication R-module, then ${\overline{\Gamma}}(M)$ is a maximal connected subgraph of ${\Gamma}(M)$. Also ${\overline{\Gamma}}(M)$ and ${\overline{\Gamma}}(S^{-1}M)$ are isomorphic graphs, where $S=R{\backslash}Z(M)$. Furthermore, we show that, if ${\overline{\Gamma}}(M)$ is uniquely complemented, then $S^{-1}M$ is a von Neumann regular module or ${\overline{\Gamma}}(M)$ is a star graph.

We make a study of two generalizations of regular rings, concentrating our attention on the structure of idempotents. A ring R is said to be right attaching-idempotent if for $a{\in}R$ there exists $0{\neq}b{\in}R$ such that ab is an idempotent. Next R is said to be generalized regular if for $0{\neq}a{\in}R$ there exist nonzero $b{\in}R$ such that ab is a nonzero idempotent. It is first checked that generalized regular is left-right symmetric but right attaching-idempotent is not. The generalized regularity is shown to be a Morita invariant property. More structural properties of these two concepts are also investigated.

The following results ale extended from P-injective rings to AP-injective rings: (1) R is left self-injective regular if and only if R is a right (resp. left) AP-injective ring such that for every finitely generated left R-module M, $_R(M/Z(M))$ is projective, where Z(M) is the left singular submodule of $_{R}M$; (2) if R is a left nonsingular left AP-injective ring such that every maximal left ideal of R is either injective or a two-sided ideal of R, then R is either left self-injective regular or strongly regular. In addition, we answer a question of Roger Yue Chi Ming [13] in the positive. Let R be a ring whose every simple singular left R-module is Y J-injective. If R is a right MI-ring whose every essential right ideal is an essential left ideal, then R is a left and right self-injective regular, left and right V-ring of bounded index.

In ring theory it is well-known that a ring R is (von Neumann) regular if and only if all right R-modules are flat. But the analogous statement for this result does not hold for a monoid S. Hence, in sense of S-acts, Liu (]10]) showed that, as a weak analogue of this result, a monoid S is regular if and only if all left S-acts satisfying condition (E) ([6]) are flat. Moreover, Bulmann-Fleming ([6]) showed that x is a regular element of a monoid S iff the cyclic right S-act S/p(x, x2) is flat. In this paper, we show that the analogue of this result can be held for automata and them characterize regular semigroups by flat automata.

Antoine studied conditions which are connected to the question of Amitsur of whether or not a polynomial ring over a nil ring is nil, introducing the notion of nil-Armendariz rings. Hizem extended the nil-Armendariz property for polynomial rings onto power-series rings, say nil power-serieswise rings. In this paper, we introduce the notion of power-serieswise CN rings that is a generalization of nil power-serieswise Armendariz rings. Finally, we study the nil-Armendariz property for Ore extensions and skew power series rings.

In this paper, we show that if R is a local-global domain then the Question holds. McDonald and Waterhouse in [6] and Estes and Guralnick in [5] introduced the concept of local-global rings (so called rings with many units) independently. A local-global ring is a commutative ring R with 1 satisfying; if a polynomial f in R[ $x_{1}$, .., $x_{n}$] represents a unit over $R_{P}$ for every maximal ideal P in R, then f represents a unit over R. Such rings include semilocal rings, or more generally, rings which are von Neumann regular mod their Jacobson radical, and the ring of all algebraic integers.s.s.
