Strong J-Cleanness of Formal Matrix Rings

Abstract: An element

a

of a ring

R

is called emph{strongly

J

-clean} provided that there exists an idempotent

e i n R

such that

a - e i n J (R)

and

a e = e a

. A ring

R

is emph{strongly

J

-clean} in case every element in

R

is strongly

J

-clean. In this paper, we investigate strong

J

-cleanness of

M_{2} (R; s)

for a local ring

R

and

s i n R

. We determine the conditions under which elements of

M_{2} (R; s)

are strongly

J

-clean.
