The strong nil-cleanness of semigroup rings

Abstract

In this paper, we study the strong nil-cleanness of certain classes of semigroup rings. For a completely 0-simple semigroup M={ {\mathcal M} }^{0}(G;I,\text{Λ};P) , we show that the contracted semigroup ring {R}_{0}{[}M] is strongly nil-clean if and only if either |I|=1 or |\text{Λ}|=1 , and R{[}G] is strongly nil-clean; as a corollary, we characterize the strong nil-cleanness of locally inverse semigroup rings. Moreover, let S={[}Y;{S}_{\alpha },{\varphi }_{\alpha ,\beta }] be a strong semilattice of semigroups, then we prove that R{[}S] is strongly nil-clean if and only if R{[}{S}_{\alpha }] is strongly nil-clean for each \alpha \in Y .
