The reflexive property for ideals was introduced by Mason and has important roles in noncommutative ring theory. In this note we study the structure of idempotents satisfying the reflexive property and introduce reflexive-idempotents-property (simply, RIP) as a generalization. It is proved that the RIP can go up to polynomial rings, power series rings, and Dorroh extensions. The structure of non-Abelian RIP rings of minimal order (with or without identity) is completely investigated.

The RIP of rings was introduced by Kwak and Lee as a generalization of the one-sided idempotent-reflexivity property. In this study, we focus on rings in which all one-sided semicentral idempotents are central, and we refer to them as quasi-Abelian rings, extending the concept introduced by RIP. We establish that quasi-Abelianity extends to various types of rings, including polynomial rings, power series rings, Laurent series rings, matrices, and certain subrings of triangular matrix rings. Furthermore, we provide comprehensive proofs for several results that hold for RIP and are also satisfied by the quasi-Abelian property. Additionally, we investigate the structural properties of minimal non-Abelian quasi-Abelian rings.
