Amalgamations of commutative feebly clean-like rings (Q6046044)

Recall that a ring \(R\) is feebly clean if for each element \(a\) of \(R\), there are \(u\in U(R)\), \(e, f\in \mathrm{Id}(R)\) such that \(a =u+e-f\) and \(fe=ef =0\), where \(U(R)\) and \(\mathrm{Id}(R)\) are respectively the sets of units and idempotents of \(R\). A ring \(R\) is said to be feebly J-clean if for any \(a\in R\), there exist \(j\in J(R)\) (the Jacobson radical of \(R\)) and \(e, f \in \mathrm{Id}(R)\) with \(ef = fe= 0\) such that \(a = j +e-f\). Also \(R\) is called feebly nil-clean if for every \(a\in R\), \(a = q + e_{1}- e_{2}\), where \(q\in \mathrm{Nil}(R)\) (the set of nilpotent elements of \(R\)) and \(e_{1},e_{2}\in Id(R)\) with \(e_{1}e_{2}=0\). The paper under review investigates the transfer of the feebly clean, feebly J-clean, and feebly nil-clean rings in the amalgamated algebras along an ideal. A first result investigates a necessary and sufficient conditions for the amalgamation \(R=A\bowtie^{f}J\) of \(A\) along the ideal \(J\) to inherit the feebly clean property under a specific condition. Mainly, let \(f:A\longrightarrow B\) be a ring homomorphism and \(J\) an ideal of \(B\) such that \(f (u) + j\in U(B)\) for each \(u\in U(A)\) and \(j\in J\). Then \(R=A\bowtie^{f}J\) is feebly clean if and only if \(A\) is feebly clean. It is also proved that if \(f:A\longrightarrow B\) is a ring homomorphism and \(J\) is an ideal of \(B\) such that \(J\cap Id(B) = 0\), then \(A\bowtie^{f}J\) feebly nil-clean if and only if \(A\) is feebly nil-clean and \(J\subseteq Nil(B)\). Moreover, if \(f:A\longrightarrow B\) is a surjective ring homomorphism, then \(A\bowtie^{f} J\) is feebly J-clean if and only if \(A\) is feebly J-clean and \(J\subseteq J(B)\).
