On uniquely clean rings.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: An element of a ring is unique clean if it can be uniquely written as the sum of an idempotent and a unit. A ring R is uniquely pi-clean if some power of every element in R is uniquely clean. In this article, we prove that a ring R is uniquely pi-clean if and only if for any ainR, there exists an minBbbN and a central idempotent einR such that am−einJ(R), if and only if R is abelian; every idempotent lifts modulo J(R); and R/P is torsion for all prime ideals P containing the Jacobson radical J(R). Further, we prove that a ring R is uniquely pi-clean and J(R) is nil if and only if R is an abelian periodic ring, if and only if for any ainR, there exists some minBbbN and a unique idempotent einR such that am−einP(R), where P(R) is the prime radical of R.
