Domain property of rings relative to the Jacobson radical (Q6046042)

\noindent \(R\) is an associative ring with identity and all \(R\)-modules are unital. Let \(J(R)\) denote the Jacobson radical of \(R\). The authors define and study \(J\)-domain rings. The ring \(R\) is called a \(J\)\textit{-domain} if the product of any two elements of \(R\) which are not in \(J(R)\) is non-zero. For example, any local ring is a \(J\)-domain. Conditions for a \(J\)-domain to be a reduced ring or a division ring respectively are given. It is shown that a polynomial ring over a \(J\)-domain need not be \(J\)-domain.
