Fine rings: A new class of simple rings

Abstract: A nonzero ring is said to be fine if every nonzero element in it is a sum of a unit and a nilpotent element. We show that fine rings form a proper class of simple rings, and they include properly the class of all simple artinian rings. One of the main results in this paper is that matrix rings over fine rings are always fine rings. This implies, in particular, that any nonzero (square) matrix over a division ring is the sum of an invertible matrix and a nilpotent matrix.

“…(ii) Invoking [8], every non-zero matrix is the sum of a unit and a nilpotent. Moreover, since F is a potent field, each invertible matrix is indeed a torsion unit, because as already showed above in point (i) it can be embedded into a finite field, so the result follows now directly.…”

“…We start by recalling three special types of elements in a ring. An element in a ring is 2-good if it is a sum of two units (see [19]), is fine if it a sum of a unit and a nilpotent (see [6]), and is 2-nilgood 1 if it is a sum of two nilpotents (see [5]). By the terminology of Vámos [19], a ring is 2-good if each of its elements is 2-good.…”

“…In this paper we will not consider the other natural generalization to non-commutative rings; in fact, all algebraic structures will be commutative throughout the paper. Nevertheless, let us mention at least one of the latest results on simple non-commutative rings [6]. Definition 1.1.…”
