Stable range one for rings with central units

Publication date 3 September 2020

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to give a partial positive answer to a question raised by Khurana et al. as to whether a ring

R

with stable range one and central units is commutative. We show that this is the case under any of the following additional conditions:

R

is semiprime or

R

is one-sided Noetherian or

R

has unit-stable range

1

or

R

has classical Krull dimension

0

or

R

is an algebra over a field

K

such that

K

is uncountable and

R

has only countably many primitive ideals or

R

is affine and either

K

has characteristic

0

or has infinite transcendental degree over its prime subfield or is algebraically closed. However, the general question remains open.
