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.

Let R be a ring R and ${\sigma}$ be an endomorphism of R. R is called ${\sigma}$-rigid (resp. reduced) if $a{\sigma}r(a) = 0 (resp{\cdot}a^2 = 0)$ for any $a{\in}R$ implies a = 0. An ideal I of R is called a ${\sigma}$-ideal if ${\sigma}(I){\subseteq}I$. R is called ${\sigma}$-quasi-Baer (resp. right (or left) ${\sigma}$-p.q.-Baer) if the right annihilator of every ${\sigma}$-ideal (resp. right (or left) principal ${\sigma}$-ideal) of R is generated by an idempotent of R. In this paper, a skew polynomial ring A = R[$x;{\sigma}$] of a ring R is investigated as follows: For a ${\sigma}$-rigid ring R, (1) R is ${\sigma}$-quasi-Baer if and only if A is quasi-Baer if and only if A is $\={\sigma}$-quasi-Baer for every extended endomorphism $\={\sigma}$ on A of ${\sigma}$ (2) R is right ${\sigma}$-p.q.-Baer if and only if R is ${\sigma}$-p.q.-Baer if and only if A is right p.q.-Baer if and only if A is p.q.-Baer if and only if A is $\={\sigma}$-p.q.-Baer if and only if A is right $\={\sigma}$-p.q.-Baer for every extended endomorphism $\={\sigma}$ on A of ${\sigma}$.

Let M be a right R-module, G an ordered group and ${\sigma}$ a map from G into the group of automorphisms of R. The conditions under which the Malcev-Neumann module M* ((G)) is a PS module and a p.q.Baer module are investigated in this paper. It is shown that: (1) If $M_R$ is a reduced ${\sigma}$-compatible module, then the Malcev-Neumann module M* ((G)) over a PS-module is also a PS-module; (2) If $M_R$ is a faithful ${\sigma}$-compatible module, then the Malcev-Neumann module M* ((G)) is a p.q.Baer module if and only if the right annihilator of any G-indexed family of cyclic submodules of M in R is generated by an idempotent of R.
