Let R be a ring with identity $1_R$ and let U(R) denote the group of all units of R. A ring R is called locally finite if every finite subset in it generates a finite semi group multiplicatively. In this paper, some results are obtained as follows: (1) for any semilocal (hence semiperfect) ring R, U(R) is a finite (resp. locally finite) group if and only if R is a finite (resp. locally finite) ring; U(R) is a locally finite group if and only if U$(M_n(R))$ is a locally finite group where $M_n(R)$ is the full matrix ring of $n{\times}n$ matrices over R for any positive integer n; in addition, if $2=1_R+1_R$ is a unit in R, then U(R) is an abelian group if and only if R is a commutative ring; (2) for any semiperfect ring R, if E(R), the set of all idempotents in R, is commuting, then $R/J\cong\oplus_{i=1}^mD_i$ where each $D_i$ is a division ring for some positive integer m and |E(R)|=$2^m$; in addition, if 2=$1_R+1_R$ is a unit in R, then every idempotent is central.

In this paper, we study rings with Noetherian spectrum, rings with locally Noetherian spectrum and rings with t-locally Noetherian spectrum in terms of the polynomial ring, the Serre's conjecture ring, the Nagata ring and the t-Nagata ring. In fact, we show that a commutative ring R with identity has Noetherian spectrum if and only if the Serre's conjecture ring R[X]_U has Noetherian spectrum, if and only if the Nagata ring R[X]_N has Noetherian spectrum. We also prove that an integral domain D has locally Noetherian spectrum if and only if the Nagata ring D[X]_N has locally Noetherian spectrum. Finally, we show that an integral domain D has t-locally Noetherian spectrum if and only if the polynomial ring D[X] has t-locally Noetherian spectrum, if and only if the t-Nagata ring $D[X]_{N_v}$ has (t-)locally Noetherian spectrum.

Let D be an integral domain, t be the so-called t-operation on D, and S be a (not necessarily saturated) multiplicative subset of D. In this paper, we study the Nagata ring of S-Noetherian domains and locally S-Noetherian domains. We also investigate the t-Nagata ring of t-locally S-Noetherian domains. In fact, we show that if S is an anti-archimedean subset of D, then D is an S-Noetherian domain (respectively, locally S-Noetherian domain) if and only if the Nagata ring $D[X]_N$ is an S-Noetherian domain (respectively, locally S-Noetherian domain). We also prove that if S is an anti-archimedean subset of D, then D is a t-locally S-Noetherian domain if and only if the polynomial ring D[X] is a t-locally S-Noetherian domain, if and only if the t-Nagata ring $D[X]_{N_v}$ is a t-locally S-Noetherian domain.

We study the quasi-commutativity in relation with powers of coefficients of polynomials. In the procedure we introduce the concept of ${\pi}$-quasi-commutative ring as a generalization of quasi-commutative rings. We show first that every ${\pi}$-quasi-commutative ring is Abelian and that a locally finite Abelian ring is ${\pi}$-quasi-commutative. The role of these facts are essential to our study in this note. The structures of various sorts of ${\pi}$-quasi-commutative rings are investigated to answer the questions raised naturally in the process, in relation to the structure of Jacobson and nil radicals.

Yu showed that every right (left) primitive factor ring of weakly right (left) duo rings is a division ring. It is not difficult to show that each weakly right (left) duo ring is abelian and has the classical right (left) quotient ring. In this note we first provide a left duo ring (but not weakly right duo) in spite of it being left Noetherian and local. Thus we observe conditions under which weakly one-sided duo rings may be two-sided. We prove that a weakly one-sided duo ring R is weakly duo under each of the following conditions: (1) R is semilocal with nil Jacobson radical; (2) R is locally finite. Based on the preceding case (1) we study a kind of composition length of a right or left Artinian weakly duo ring R, obtaining that i(R) is finite and $\alpha^{i(R)}R\;=\;R\alpha^{i(R)\;=\;R\alpha^{i(R)}R\;for\;all\;\alpha\;{\in}\;R$, where i(R) is the index (of nilpotency) of R. Note that one-sided Artinian rings and locally finite rings are strongly $\pi-regular$. Thus we also observe connections between strongly $\pi-regular$ weakly right duo rings and related rings, constructing available examples.

This article concerns the property that for any element a in a ring, if a²ⁿ = aⁿ for some n ≥ 2 then a² = a. The class of rings with this property is large, but there also exist many kinds of rings without that, for example, rings of characteristic ≠2 and finite fields of characteristic ≥ 3. Rings with such a property is called reduced-over-idempotent. The study of reduced-over-idempotent rings is based on the fact that the characteristic is 2 and every nonzero non-identity element generates an infinite multiplicative semigroup without identity. It is proved that the reduced-over-idempotent property pass to polynomial rings, and we provide power series rings with a partial affirmative argument. It is also proved that every finitely generated subring of a locally finite reduced-over-idempotent ring is isomorphic to a finite direct product of copies of the prime field {0, 1}. A method to construct reduced-over-idempotent fields is also provided.

We study the structure of central elements in relation with polynomial rings and introduce quasi-commutative as a generalization of commutative rings. The Jacobson radical of the polynomial ring over a quasi-commutative ring is shown to coincide with the set of all nilpotent polynomials; and locally finite quasi-commutative rings are shown to be commutative. We also provide several sorts of examples by showing the relations between quasi-commutative rings and other ring properties which have roles in ring theory. We examine next various sorts of ring extensions of quasi-commutative rings.

Let P be a finitely generated projective module over a commutative ring R with identity. If P has finite rank, then it will be shown that the map ${\varphi}:Aut_R(P){\rightarrow}U(R)$ defined by ${\varphi}({\alpha})={\det}({\alpha})$ is locally surjective and $Ker({\varphi})=SL_R(P)$.

In this note we elaborate first on well-known theorems for annihilators of polynomials over IFP rings by investigating the concrete shapes of nonzero constant annihilators. We consider next a generalization of IFP which preserves Abelian property, in relation with annihilators of polynomials, observing the basic structure of rings satisfying such condition.

The motivation for this study comes from a question posed by I.N. Herstein in the Israel Journal of Mathematics in 1978. Specifically, let D be a division ring with center F. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that every quasinormal subgroup of the multiplicative group of D, which is radical over some proper division subring, is central if one of the following conditions holds: (i) D is weakly locally finite; (ii) F is uncountable; or (iii) D is the Mal'cev-Neumann division ring.
