We study the relationships between strongly prime ideals and completely prime ideals, concentrating on the connections among various radicals(prime radical, upper nilradical and generalized nilradical). Given a ring R, consider the condition: (*) nilpotent elements of R form an ideal in R. We show that a ring R satisfies (*) if and only if every minimal strongly prime ideal of R is completely prime if and only if the upper nilradical coincides with the generalized nilradical in R.

For a ring endomorphism $\sigma$ of a ring R, J. Krempa called $\sigma$ a rigid endomorphism if a$\sigma$(a)＝0 implies a＝0 for a ${\in}$R. A ring R is called rigid if there exists a rigid endomorphism of R. In this paper, we extend the (J'-rigid property of a ring R to the upper nilradical $N_{r}$(R) of R. For an endomorphism R and the upper nilradical $N_{r}$(R) of a ring R, we introduce the condition (*): $N_{r}$(R) is a $\sigma$-ideal of R and a$\sigma$(a) ${\in}$ $N_{r}$(R) implies a ${\in}$ $N_{r}$(R) for a ${\in}$ R. We study characterizations of a ring R with an endomorphism $\sigma$ satisfying the condition (*), and we investigate their related properties. The connections between the upper nilradical of R and the upper nilradical of the skew power series ring R[[$\chi$;$\sigma$]] of R are also investigated.ated.

This article concerns the normal property of elements on Jacobson and nil radicals which are generalizations of commutativity. A ring is said to be right njr if it satisfies the normal property on the Jacobson radical. Similarly a ring is said to be right nunr (resp., right nlnr) if it satisfies the normal property on the upper (resp., lower) nilradical. We investigate the relations between right duo property and the normality on Jacobson (nil) radicals. Related examples are investigated in the procedure of studying the structures of right njr, nunr, and nlnr rings.

In this article we investigate the structure of rings in which lower nilradicals coincide with upper nilradicals. Such rings shall be said to be quasi-2-primal. It is shown first that the $K{\ddot{o}}the^{\prime}s$ conjecture holds for quasi-2-primal rings. So the results in this article may provide interesting and useful information to the study of nilradicals in various situations. In the procedure we study the structure of quasi-2-primal rings, and observe various kinds of quasi-2-primal rings which do roles in ring theory.

The studies of reversible and NI rings have done important roles in noncommutative ring theory. A ring R shall be called QRUR if ab = 0 for a, b ∈ R implies that ba is contained in the upper nilradical of R, which is a generalization of the NI ring property. In this article we investigate the structure of QRUR rings and examine the QRUR property of several kinds of ring extensions including matrix rings and polynomial rings. We also show that if there exists a weakly semicommutative ring but not QRUR, then Köthe's conjecture does not hold.

We first show that the semiprimeness, primeness, and reducedness can go up to up-monoid rings. By these results we can compute the lower nilradicals of up-monoid rings, from which the well-known fact of Amitsur and McCoy for the polynomial rings can be extended to up-monoid rings.

We observe from known results that the set of nilpotent elements in Armendariz rings has an important role. The upper nilradical coincides with the prime radical in Armendariz rings. So it can be shown that the factor ring of an Armendariz ring over its prime radical is also Armendariz, with the help of Antoine's results for nil-Armendariz rings. We study the structure of rings with such property in Armendariz rings and introduce APR as a generalization. It is shown that APR is placed between Armendariz and nil-Armendariz. It is shown that an APR ring which is not Armendariz, can always be constructed from any Armendariz ring. It is also proved that a ring R is APR if and only if so is R[$x$], and that N(R[$x$]) = N(R)[$x$] when R is APR, where R[$x$] is the polynomial ring with an indeterminate $x$ over R and N(-) denotes the set of all nilpotent elements. Several kinds of APR rings are found or constructed in the precess related to ordinary ring constructions.

In this article we first investigate a sort of unit-IFP ring by which Antoine provides very useful information to ring theory in relation with the structure of coefficients of zero-dividing polynomials. Here we are concerned with the whole shape of units and nilpotent elements in such rings. Next we study the properties of unit-IFP rings through group actions of units on nonzero nilpotent elements. We prove that if R is a unit-IFP ring such that there are finite number of orbits under the left (resp., right) action of units on nonzero nilpotent elements, then R satisfies the descending chain condition for nil left (resp., right) ideals of R and the upper nilradical of R is nilpotent.

The aim in this note is to describe some classes of rings in relation to factorization by prime radical, upper nilradical, and Jacobson radical. We introduce the concepts of tpr ring, tunr ring, and tjr ring in the process, respectively. Their ring theoretical structures are investigated in relation to various sorts of factor rings and extensions. We also study the structure of noncommutative tpr (tunr, tjr) rings of minimal order, which can be a base of constructing examples of various ring structures. Various sorts of structures of known examples are studied in relation with the topics of this note.
