Every ring considered in the paper will be assumed to be commutative and have a unit element. An ideal A of a ring R will be called primal if the elements of R which are zero divisors modulo A, form an ideal of R, say pp. If A is a primal ideal of R, P is called the adjoint ideal of A. The adjoint ideal of a primal ideal is prime [2]. The definition of primal ideals may also be formulated as follows: An ideal A of a ring R is primal if in the residue class ring R/A the zero divisors form an ideal of R/A. If Q is a primary idel of a ring R then every zero divisor of R/Q is nilpotent; therefore, Q is a primal ideal of R. That a primal ideal need not be primary, is shown by an example in [2]. Let R[X], and R[[X]] denote the polynomial ring and formal power series ring in an indeterminate X over a ring R, respectively. Let S be a multiplicative system in a ring R and S$^{-1}$ R the quotient ring of R. Let Q be a P-primary ideal of a ring R. Then Q[X] is a P[X]-primary ideal of R[X], and S$^{-1}$ Q is a S$^{-1}$ P-primary ideal of a ring S$^{-1}$ R if S.cap.P=.phi., and Q[[X]] is a P[[X]]-primary ideal of R[[X]] if R is Noetherian [1]. We search for analogous results when primary ideals are replaced with primal ideals. To show an ideal A of a ring R to be primal, it sufficies to show that a-b is a zero divisor modulo A whenever a and b are zero divisors modulo A.

We first find strongly 2-primal rings whose sub direct product is not (strongly) 2-primal. Moreover we observe some kinds of ring extensions of (strongly) 2-primal rings. As an example we show that if R is a ring and M is a multiplicative monoid in R consisting of central regular elements, then R is strongly 2-primal if and only if so is $RM^{-1}$. Various properties of (strongly) 2-primal rings are also studied.

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 2-primal rings have done important roles in noncommutative ring theory. We in this note introduce the concept of quasi-reversible-over-prime-radical (simply, QRPR) as a generalization of the 2-primal ring property. A ring is called QRPR if ab = 0 for $a,b{\in}R$ implies that ab is contained in the prime radical. In this note we study the structure of QRPR rings and examine the QRPR property of several kinds of ring extensions which have roles in noncommutative ring theory.

We study in this note rings whose prime radicals are completely prime. We obtain equivalent conditions to the complete 2-primal-ness and observe properties of completely 2-primal rings, finding examples and counterexamples to the situations that occur naturally in the process.

In this paper we study the connections between right quasi-duo rings and 2-primal rings, including several counterexamples for answers to some questions that occur naturally in the process. Actually we concern following three questions and modified ones: (1) Are right quasi-duo rings 2-primal$\ulcorner$, (2) Are formal power series rings over weakly right duo rings also weakly right duo\ulcorner and (3) Are 2-primal rings right quasi-duo\ulcorner Moreover we consider some conditions under which the answers of them may be affirmative, obtaining several results which are related to the questions.

We consider zero-divisor graphs with respect to primal, nonprimal, weakly prime and weakly primal ideals of a commutative ring R with non-zero identity. We investigate the interplay between the ringtheoretic properties of R and the graph-theoretic properties of ${\Gamma}_I(R)$ for some ideal I of R. Also we show that the zero-divisor graph with respect to primal ideals commutes by localization.

We in this note introduce a concept, so called ${\pi}-Armendariz$ ring, that is a generalization of both Armendariz rings and 2-primal rings. We first observe the basic properties of ${\pi}-Armendariz$ rings, constructing typical examples. We next extend the class of ${\pi}-Armendariz$ rings, through various ring extensions.

Let R be a strongly 2-primal ring and I a proper ideal of R. Then there are only finitely many prime ideals minimal over I if and only if for every prime ideal P minimal over I, the ideal $P/{\sqrt{I}}$ of $R/{\sqrt{I}}$ is finitely generated if and only if the ring $R/{\sqrt{I}}$ satisfies the ACC on right annihilators. This result extends "D. D. Anderson, A note on minimal prime ideals, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 122 (1994), no. 1, 13-14." to large classes of noncommutative rings. It is also shown that, a 2-primal ring R only has finitely many minimal prime ideals if each minimal prime ideal of R is finitely generated. Examples are provided to illustrate our results.

In this paper we study the connection between 2-primal rings, (S,1)-rings and related conditions. And we investigate some condition which is the special case of pseudo symmetric. We also study the condition (KJ) which is given by J. Y. Kim and H. L. Jin. We introduce some condition and we prove that our condition is equivalent to the condition (KJ) when it is an (S,1)-ring.
