PROPERTIES OF ARMENDARIZ RINGS AND WEAK ARMENDARIZ RINGS


Dušan Jokanović


We consider some properties of Armendariz and rigid rings. We prove that the direct product of rigid (weak rigid), weak Armendariz rings is a rigid (weak rigid), weak Armendariz ring. On the assumption that the factor ring $R/I$ is weak Armendariz, where $I$ is nilpotent ideal, we prove that $R$ is a weak Armendariz ring. We also prove that every ring isomorphism preserves weak skew Armendariz structure. Armendariz rings of Laurent power series are also considered.
