Let $R$ be a ring and $nil(R)$ the set of all nilpotent elements of $R$. For a subset $X$ of a ring $R$, we define $N_R(X)=\{a{\in}R{\mid}xa{\in}nil(R)$ for all $x{\in}X$}, which is called a weak annihilator of $X$ in $R$. $A$ ring $R$ is called weak zip provided that for any subset $X$ of $R$, if $N_R(Y){\subseteq}nil(R)$, then there exists a finite subset $Y{\subseteq}X$ such that $N_R(Y){\subseteq}nil(R)$, and a ring $R$ is called weak symmetric if $abc{\in}nil(R){\Rightarrow}acb{\in}nil(R)$ for all a, b, $c{\in}R$. It is shown that a generalized power series ring $[[R^{S,{\leq}}]]$ is weak zip (resp. weak symmetric) if and only if $R$ is weak zip (resp. weak symmetric) under some additional conditions. Also we describe all weak associated primes of the generalized power series ring $[[R^{S,{\leq}}]]$ in terms of all weak associated primes of $R$ in a very straightforward way.

Extending the notion of McCoy rings, we introduce the class of McCoy modules. Over a given ring R, it contains the class of Armendariz modules (over R). Some properties of this class of modules are established, and equivalent conditions for McCoy modules are given. Moreover, we study the relationship between a module and its polynomial module. Several known results relating to McCoy rings can be obtained as corollaries of our results.

According to Jacobson [31], a right ideal is bounded if it contains a non-zero ideal, and Faith [15] called a ring strongly right bounded if every non-zero right ideal is bounded. From [30], a ring is strongly right AB if every non-zero right annihilator is bounded. In this paper, we introduce and investigate a particular class of McCoy rings which satisfy Property (A) and the conditions asked by Nielsen [42]. It is shown that for a u.p.-monoid M and ${\sigma}:M{\rightarrow}End(R)$ a compatible monoid homomorphism, if R is reversible, then the skew monoid ring R * M is strongly right AB. If R is a strongly right AB ring, M is a u.p.-monoid and ${\sigma}:M{\rightarrow}End(R)$ is a weakly rigid monoid homomorphism, then the skew monoid ring R * M has right Property (A).
