A Generalization of $J$-Quasipolar Rings

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a class of quasipolar rings which is a generalization of $J$-quasipolar rings. Let $R$ be a ring with identity. An element $a \in R$ is called {\it $\delta$-quasipolar} if there exists $p^2 = p\in comm^2(a)$ such that $a + p$ is contained in $\delta(R)$, and the ring $R$ is called {\it $\delta$-quasipolar} if every element of $R$ is $\delta$-quasipolar. We use $\delta$-quasipolar rings to extend some results of $J$-quasipolar rings. Then some of the main results of $J$-quasipolar rings are special cases of our results for this general setting. We give many characterizations and investigate general properties of $\delta$-quasipolar rings.
