Rings of almost unit stable rank 1 (Q1759961): Difference between revisions

The authors introduce the notion of a ring of almost unit stable rank 1 as a generalization of the notion of a ring of unit stable rank 1. They define that an element \(a\) of a ring \(R\) is an element of almost unit stable rank 1 if the quotient ring \(R/aR\) is a ring of unit stable rank 1. They show that a ring of almost unit stable rank 1 with nonzero Jacobson radical is a ring of unit stable rank 1 and is a 2-good ring. They introduce the notion of almost 2-good ring and show that an adequate domain is an almost 2-good ring.
