Adjoint regular rings (Q1608192)

A ring \(R(+,\cdot)\) is called adjoint regular (adjoint Clifford) if the adjoint semigroup \(R(\circ)\) is regular (Clifford), where \(a\circ b=a+b-ab\). The ring \(R\) is adjoint regular if and only if for every \(a\in R\) there exist \(b\in R\), \(e=e^2\in R\) such that \(a+b-ab=e\) and \(ea=e\). If \(R\) is a regular ring then \(R(\circ)\) is a regular monoid. A regular ring \(R\) is strongly regular if and only if \(R\) is adjoint Clifford (or: \(R\) is adjoint completely regular). If \(R=A\oplus B\) is a direct sum of left (right) ideals of \(R\) and \(R\) is adjoint regular, then \(A\) and \(B\) are adjoint regular rings. If \(R\) is an adjoint regular ring with a right nonzero semicentral idempotent (\(eRe=Re\)), then there exist submonoids \(A\) and \(B\) of \(R(\circ)\) such that: (a) \(R=A\circ B\) and \(A\cap B=0\); (b) \(R=A\oplus B\) as a direct sum of adjoint regular right ideals of \(R\); (c) \(A\) is a regular ring with identity and \(B\) is a two-sided ideal of \(R\). The equivalence of several standard radicals for adjoint Clifford rings is mentioned.
