Let $R$ be a ring and $nil(R)$ the set of all nilpotent elements of $R$. For a subset $X$ of a ring $R$, we define $N_R(X)=\{a{\in}R{\mid}xa{\in}nil(R)$ for all $x{\in}X$}, which is called a weak annihilator of $X$ in $R$. $A$ ring $R$ is called weak zip provided that for any subset $X$ of $R$, if $N_R(Y){\subseteq}nil(R)$, then there exists a finite subset $Y{\subseteq}X$ such that $N_R(Y){\subseteq}nil(R)$, and a ring $R$ is called weak symmetric if $abc{\in}nil(R){\Rightarrow}acb{\in}nil(R)$ for all a, b, $c{\in}R$. It is shown that a generalized power series ring $[[R^{S,{\leq}}]]$ is weak zip (resp. weak symmetric) if and only if $R$ is weak zip (resp. weak symmetric) under some additional conditions. Also we describe all weak associated primes of the generalized power series ring $[[R^{S,{\leq}}]]$ in terms of all weak associated primes of $R$ in a very straightforward way.

In this paper, we deal with the question that what kind of properties does a ring gain when it satisfies symmetricity or reversibility by the way of nilpotent elements? By the motivation of this question, we approach to symmetric and reversible property of rings via nilpotents. For symmetricity, we call a ring R middle right-(resp. left-)nil symmetric (mr-nil (resp. ml-nil) symmetric, for short) if abc = 0 implies acb = 0 (resp. bac = 0) for a, c ∈ R and b ∈ nil(R) where nil(R) is the set of all nilpotent elements of R. It is proved that mr-nil symmetric rings are abelian and so directly finite. We show that the class of mr-nil symmetric rings strictly lies between the classes of symmetric rings and weak right nil-symmetric rings. For reversibility, we introduce left (resp. right) N-reversible ideal I of a ring R if for any a ∈ nil(R), b ∈ R, being ab ∈ I implies ba ∈ I (resp. b ∈ nil(R), a ∈ R, being ab ∈ I implies ba ∈ I). A ring R is called left (resp. right) N-reversible if the zero ideal is left (resp. right) N-reversible. Left N-reversibility is a generalization of mr-nil symmetricity. We exactly determine the place of the class of left N-reversible rings which is placed between the classes of reversible rings and CNZ rings. We also obtain that every left N-reversible ring is nil-Armendariz. It is observed that the polynomial ring over a left N-reversible Armendariz ring is also left N-reversible.

This note focuses on a ring property in which upper and lower nilradicals coincide, as a generalizations of symmetric rings. The concept of symmetric ideal and ring in the noncommutative ring theory was initially introduced by Lambek, as an extension of the usual commutative ideal theory. The investigation of symmetric rings provided many useful results to the study in the noncommutative ring theory. So the results obtained from this study may be applicable to observing the structure of zero divisors in various kinds of algebraic systems containing matrix rings and polynomial rings.
