This is the first monograph on rings closed to von Neumann regular rings. The following classes of rings are considered: exchange rings, pi-regular rings, weakly regular rings, rings with comparability, V-rings, and max rings. Every Artinian or von Neumann regular ring A is an exchange ring (this means that for every one of its elements a, there exists an idempotent e of A such that aA contains eA and (1-a)A contains (1-e)A). Exchange rings are very useful in the study of direct decompositions of modules, and have many applications to theory of Banach algebras, ring theory, and K-theory. In particular, exchange rings and rings with comparability provide a key to a number of outstanding cancellation problems for finitely generated projective modules. Every von Neumann regular ring is a weakly regular pi-regular ring (a ring A is pi-regular if for every one of its elements a, there is a positive integer n such that a is contained in aAa) and every Artinian ring is a pi-regular max ring (a ring is a max ring if every one of its nonzero modules has a maximal submodule). Thus many results on finite-dimensional algebras and regular rings are extended to essentially larger classes of rings. Starting from a basic understanding of ring theory, the theory of rings close to regular is presented and accompanied with complete proofs.
The book will appeal to readers from beginners to researchers and specialists in algebra; it concludes with an extensive bibliography.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Preface All rings are assumed to be associative and (except for nilrings and some stipulated cases) to have nonzero identity elements. A ring A is said to be regular if for every element a E A, there exists an element b E A with a = aba. Regular rings are well studied. For example, [163] and [350] are devoted to regular rings. A ring A is said to be tr-regular if for every element a E A, there is an element n b E A such that an = anba for some positive integer n. A ring A is said to be strongly tr-regular if for every a E A, there is a positive integer n with n 1 n an E a + An Aa +1. It is proved in [128] that A is a strongly tr-regular ring if and only if for every element a E A, there is a positive integer m with m 1 am E a + A. Every strongly tr-regular ring is tr-regular [38]. If F is a division ring and M is a right vector F-space with infinite basis {ei}~l' then End(MF) is a regular (and tr-regular) ring that is not strongly tr-regular. The factor ring of the ring of integers with respect to the ideal generated by the integer 4 is a strongly tr-regular ring that is not regular. 368 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9789048161164
