AbstractLet R be a 2-torsion free associative ring with involution. It is shown that if the set S of symmetric elements is nilpotent as a Jordan ring then R is nilpotent.

Let [Formula: see text] be an associative ring. We characterize rings [Formula: see text] with simple Lie ring [Formula: see text] of all Lie derivations, reduced noncommutative Noetherian ring [Formula: see text] with the simple Lie ring [Formula: see text] of all derivations and obtain some properties of [Formula: see text]-torsion-free rings [Formula: see text] with the simple Lie ring [Formula: see text] of all Jordan derivations.

In this paper we generalize to modules of singular submodule zero over a ring of singular ideal zero some of the results, which are well known for torsion-free modules over a commutative integral domain, e.g. [2, Chapter VII, p. 127], or over a ring, which possesses a classical right quotient ring, e.g. [13, § 5].Let R be an associative ring with 1 and let M be a unitary right R-module, the latter fact denoted by MR. A submodule NR of MR is large in MR (MR is an essential extension of NR) if NR intersects non-trivially every non-zero submodule of MR; the notation NR ⊆′ MR is used for the statement “NR is large in MR” The singular submodule of MR, denoted Z(MR), is then defined to be the set {m ∈ M| r(m) ⊆’ RR}, where

For an associative ring R, we investigate the relation between the cardinality of the commutator [R, R], or of higher commutators such as [[R, R], [R, R]], the cardinality of the ideal it generates, and the index of the centre of R. For example, when R is a semiprime ring, any finite higher commutator generates a finite ideal, and if R is also 2-torsion free then there is a central ideal of R of finite index in R. With the same assumption on R, any infinite higher commutator T generates an ideal of cardinality at most 2cardT and there is a central ideal of R of index at most 2cardT in R.

AbstractAlmost complete description of abelian groups (A, +, 0) such that every associative ring R with the additive group A satisfies the condition: every subgroup of A is an ideal of R, is given. Some new results for SR-groups in the case of associative rings are also achieved. The characterization of abelian torsion-free groups of rank one and their direct sums which are not nil-groups is complemented using only elementary methods.

We give a complete description of the Brown–McCoy radical of a semigroup ring R[S], where R is an arbitrary associative ring and S is a commutative cancellative semigroup; in particular we obtain the answer to a question of E. Puczyłowski stated in [11]Throughout this note all rings R are associative with unity 1; all semigroups S are commutative and cancellative with unity. Note that the condition that R and S have a unity can be dropped (cf. [8]). The quotient group of S is denoted by Q(S). We say that S is torsion free (resp. has torsion free rank n) if Q(S) is torsion free (resp. has torsion free rank n). The Brown–McCoy radical (i.e. the upper radical determined by the class of all simple rings with unity) of a ring R is denoted by u(R). We refer to [2] for further detail on radicals and in particular on the Brown–McCoy radical.First we state some well-known results and a preliminary lemma. Let R and T be rings with the same unity such that R ⊂ T. Then T is said to be a normalizing extension of R if T = Rx1+…+Rxn for certain elements x1, …, xn of T and Rxi = xiR for all i such that 1 ∨i∨n. If all xi are central in T, then we say that T is a central normalizing extension of R.

AbstractIn this paper we generalize a recent result of Freedman (1973) concerning the cardinality of the type set of a rank two torsion-free abelian group. We show that if A is such a group and A supports a non-trivial associative ring then the type set of A contains at most three elements.

Let R be an associative ring with 1 and G a finitely generated torsion-free abelian group. In this note, we classify all R-automorphisms of the group ring RG. The special case where G is infinite cyclic was previously settled in [8], and our interest in this problem was rekindled by the recent paper of Mehrvarz and Wallace [7], who carried out the classification in the case where R contains a nilpotent prime ideal.

AbstractA ring R is E-associative if φ(xy) = φ(x)y for all endomorphisms φ of the additive group of R, and all x,y ∊ R. Unital E-associative rings are E-rings. The structure of the torsion ideal of an E-associative ring is described completely. The E-associative rings with completely decomposable torsion free additive groups are also classified. Conditions under which E-associative rings are E-rings, and other miscellaneous results are obtained.

Letn>1,m,t,sbe any positive integers, and letRbe an associative ring with identity. Supposext[xn,y]=[x,ym]ysfor allx,yinR. If, further,Risn-torsion free, thenRis commutativite. Ifn-torsion freeness ofRis replaced by “m,nare relatively prime,” thenRis still commutative. Moreover, example is given to show that the group theoretic analogue of this theorem is not true in general. However, it is true whent=s=0andm=n+1.

Let R be an associative ring. We prove that if for each finite subset F of R there exists a positive integer n = n(F) such that (xy)n − yn xn is in the centre of R for every x, y in F, then the commutator ideal of R is nil. We also prove that if n is a fixed positive integer and R is an n(n + 1)-torsion-free ring with identity such that (xy)n − ynxn = (yx)n xnyn is in the centre of R for all x, y in R, then R is commutative.
