On strongly \(\sum\)-\(m\)-clean rings (Q6114144)

Let \(R\) be a commutative ring with identity, \(U(R)\) the set of all units of \(R\) and \(J(R)\) the Jacobson radical of \(R\). In this paper, the author defined the notions of strongly \(\sum\)-\(m\)-clean ring and \(m\)-semiboolean ring as natural generalizations of the concept of strongly \(m\)-clean and semiboolean rings respectively. Let \(m\geq 2\) a positive integer. An element \(x\) of \(R\) is said to be strongly \(\sum\)-\(m\)-clean if there exists a positive integer \(n\geq 1\) such that \(x = u_{1} + u_{2} + \dots + u_{n} + f\) with \(u_{1}, u_{2}, \dots, u_{n}\) in \(U(R)\) and \(f^{m} = f\in R\). The ring \(R\) is said to be strongly \(\sum\)-\(m\)-clean if each of its elements is strongly \(\sum\)-\(m\)-clean. An element \(r\) of \(R\) is said to be \(m\)-semiboolean if \(r\) is a sum of \(m\)-potent and an element of \(J(R)\), that is, \(r = a + f\) such that \(f^{m} = f\) and \(a\in J(R)\). Then \(R\) is \(m\)-semiboolean if each of element of \(R\) is \(m\)-semiboolean. The author exhibited connections between these rings and other related classes of rings. He also examined the properties of these notions to various context of commutative ring extensions such us polynomial ring \(R[X]\), power series rings \(R[[X]]\), homomorphic image and direct product, trivial ring extensions and amalgamations.
