Let R be a ring with unity, X the set of all nonzero, nonunits of R and G the group of all units of R. We will consider some group actions on X by G, the left (resp. right) regular action and the conjugate action. In this paper, by investigating these group actions we can have some results as follows: First, if E(R), the set of all nonzero nonunit idempotents of a unit-regular ring R, is commuting, then $o_{\ell}(x)\;=\;o_r(x)$, $o_c(x)\;=\;\{x\}$ for all $x\;{\in}\;X$ where $o_{\ell}(x)$ (resp. $o_r(x)$, $o_c(x)$) is the orbit of x under the left regular (resp. right regular, conjugate) action on X by G and R is abelian regular. Secondly, if R is a unit-regular ring with unity 1 such that G is a cyclic group and $2\;=\;1\;+\;1\;{\in}\;G$, then G is a finite group. Finally, if R is an abelian regular ring such that G is an abelian group, then R is a commutative ring.

The main motivation of this paper is to introduce and study the notions of strong Dedekind rings and semi-regular injective modules. Specifically, a ring R is called strong Dedekind if every semi-regular ideal is Q₀-invertible, and an R-module E is called a semi-regular injective module provided Ext¹_R(T, E) = 0 for every 𝓠-torsion module T. In this paper, we first characterize rings over which all semi-regular injective modules are injective, and then study the semi-regular injective envelopes of R-modules. Moreover, we introduce and study the semi-regular global dimensions sr-gl.dim(R) of commutative rings R. Finally, we obtain that a ring R is a DQ-ring if and only if sr-gl.dim(R) = 0, and a ring R is a strong Dedekind ring if and only if sr-gl.dim(R) ≤ 1, if and only if any semi-regular ideal is projective. Besides, we show that the semi-regular dimensions of strong Dedekind rings are at most one.

A ring R is called a left (right) SF-ring if simple left (right) R-modules are flat. It is still unknown whether a left (right) SF-ring is von Neumann regular. In this paper, we give some conditions for a left (right) SF-ring to be (a) von Neumann regular; (b) strongly regular; (c) division ring. It is proved that: (1) a right SF-ring R is regular if maximal essential right (left) ideals of R are weakly left (right) ideals of R (this result gives an affirmative answer to the question raised by Zhang in 1994); (2) a left SF-ring R is strongly regular if every non-zero left (right) ideal of R contains a non-zero left (right) ideal of R which is a W-ideal; (3) if R is a left SF-ring such that $l(x)(r(x))$ is an essential left (right) ideal for every right (left) zero divisor x of R, then R is a division ring.

We study the structure of right regular commutators, and call a ring R strongly C-regular if ab - ba ∈ (ab - ba)²R for any a, b ∈ R. We first prove that a noncommutative strongly C-regular domain is a division algebra generated by all commutators; and that a ring (possibly without identity) is strongly C-regular if and only if it is Abelian C-regular (from which we infer that strong C-regularity is left-right symmetric). It is proved that for a strongly C-regular ring R, (i) if R/W(R) is commutative, then R is commutative; and (ii) every prime factor ring of R is either a commutative domain or a noncommutative division ring, where W(R) is the Wedderburn radical of R.

This article concerns the class of rings which satisfy the property of inserting regular elements at zero products, and rings with such property are called regular-IFP. We study the structure of regular-IFP rings in relation to various ring properties that play roles in noncommutative ring theory. We investigate conditions under which the regular-IFPness pass to polynomial rings, and equivalent conditions to the regular-IFPness.

In this paper, we introduce and study regular rings relative to the hereditary torsion theory w (a special case of a well-centered torsion theory over a commutative ring), called w-regular rings. We focus mainly on the w-regularity for w-coherent rings and w-Noetherian rings. In particular, it is shown that the w-coherent w-regular domains are exactly the Prüfer v-multiplication domains and that an integral domain is w-Noetherian and w-regular if and only if it is a Krull domain. We also prove the w-analogue of the global version of the Serre-Auslander-Buchsbaum Theorem. Among other things, we show that every w-Noetherian w-regular ring is the direct sum of a finite number of Krull domains. Finally, we obtain that the global weak w-projective dimension of a w-Noetherian ring is 0, 1, or ∞.

Let R be a commutative ring. An R-module E is said to be regular injective provided that Ext¹_R(R/I, E) = 0 for any regular ideal I of R. We first show that the class of regular injective modules have the hereditary property, and then introduce and study the regular injective dimension of modules and regular global dimension of rings. Finally, we give some homological characterizations of total rings of quotients and Dedekind rings.

We make a study of two generalizations of regular rings, concentrating our attention on the structure of idempotents. A ring R is said to be right attaching-idempotent if for $a{\in}R$ there exists $0{\neq}b{\in}R$ such that ab is an idempotent. Next R is said to be generalized regular if for $0{\neq}a{\in}R$ there exist nonzero $b{\in}R$ such that ab is a nonzero idempotent. It is first checked that generalized regular is left-right symmetric but right attaching-idempotent is not. The generalized regularity is shown to be a Morita invariant property. More structural properties of these two concepts are also investigated.

In [3], [4] and [5], Hochster and Huneke introduced the notions of the tight closure of an ideal and of the weak F-regularity of a ring. This notion enabled us to give new proofs of many results in commutative algebra. A regular ring is known to be F-regular, and a Gorenstein local ring is proved to be F-regular provided that one ideal generated by a system of parameters (briefly s.o.p.) is tightly closed. In fact, a Gorenstein local ring is weakly F-regular if and only if there exists a system of parameters ideal which is tightly closed [3]. But we do not know whether this fact is true or not if a ring is not Gorenstein, in particular, a ring is a Cohen Macaulay (briefly C-M) local ring. In this paper, we will prove this in the case of an 1-dimensional C-M local ring. For this, we study the F-rationality and the normality of the ring. And we will also prove that a C-M local ring is to be Gorenstein under some additional condition about the tight closure.

Let R be a Krull ring with the unique regular maximal ideal M. We show that R has a regular prime element and reg-$dimR=1{\Leftrightarrow}R$ is a factorial ring and reg-$dim(R)=1{\Rightarrow}M$ is invertible ${\Leftrightarrow}R{\varsubsetneq}[R:M]{\Leftrightarrow}M$ is divisorial ${\Leftrightarrow}$ reg-$htM=1{\Rightarrow}R$ is a rank one discrete valuation ring. We also show that if M is generated by regular elements, then R is a rank one discrete valuation ring ${\Rightarrow}$ R is a factorial ring and reg-dim(R)=1.
