... The compact elements of Rad(A) are the ideals J = [a 1 ] ∨ · · · ∨ [a n ] for some finitely many a 1 , . . . , a n in A. The top element of Rad(A) is the compact element [1] = A, and the bottom element is [0], which is the zero ideal if A is reduced. ...
... On the other hand, A is called a Gelfand ring if whenever a + b = 1 in A, then (1 + ar)(1 + sb) = 0 for some r, s ∈ A. In [5, Theorem 4.1], Contessa proves (unavoidably using some form of the Axiom of Choice) that pmrings are precisely Gelfand rings. Thus, Al-Ezeh [1] uses the terms interchangeably. Banaschewski [4] though distinguishes between the two, and proves in [4, Proposition 3] that every pm-ring is Gelfand, if one assumes the Prime Ideal Theorem. ...
... In preparation for the characterization, we have in mind, let us note that if I ∨ J = [1] for some I, J ∈ Rad(A), then I + J = A. This simple (but useful) observation already appears in [4]. ...

For a prime ideal P of a commutative ring A with identity, we denote (as usual) by OP its zero-component; that is, the set of members of P that are annihilated by nonmembers of P. We study rings in which OP is an essential ideal, whenever P is an essential prime ideal. We characterize them in terms of the lattices (which are, in fact, complete Heyting algebras) of their radical ideals. We prove that the classical ring of quotients of any ring of this kind is itself of this kind. We show that direct products of rings of this kind are themselves of this kind. We observe that the ring of real-valued continuous functions on a Tychonoff space is of this kind precisely when the underlying set of the space is infinite. Replacing OP with the pure part of P, we obtain a formally stronger variant which is still characterizable in terms of the lattices of radical ideals.

Let C(X) be the ring of all continuous real valued functions dened on a completely regular T1 space. For each ideal I in C(X) let mI be the pure part of the ideal I: In this article we show that mI = O (I); where (I) = f2I cl XZ(f). The pure part of many ideals in C(X) is calculated. We found that mCK(X), the pure part of the ideal of functions with compact support, is nitely generated if and only if X- (CK(X)) is com- pact, mCK(X) is countably generated if and only if X- (CK(X)) is Lin- del} o and mCK(X) is generated by a star nite set if and only if X- (CK(X)) is paracompact. Similar results are obtained for the pure part of the ideal C (X), the ideal of functions with pseudocompact support.
... Pure ideals have been studied in various articles in the literature over the years, see e.g. [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] and [8]. In [1], it is shown that a ring is reduced if and only if its Pure and N-pure ideals are the same. ...

In this paper, we consider the N-pure notion. An ideal I of a ring R is said to be N-pure, if for every aIa\in I there exists bIb\in I such that a(1b)N(R)a(1-b)\in N(R), where N(R) is nil radical of R. We provide new characterizations for N-pure ideals. In addition, N-pure ideals of an arbitrary ring are identified. Also, some other properties of N-pure ideals are studied. finally, we prove some results about the endomorphism ring of pure and N-pure ideals.
... An ideal I of a ring R is called pure if I ∩ J = IJ for every ideal J of R, or equivalently, if for any a ∈ I, there exists b ∈ I such that a = ab, see [9,Chap. 7,§1]. Obviously, any sum and any finite intersection of pure ideals is a pure ideal. ...
... (1) ⇒ (7) ⇒ (8) ⇒ (9) Clear. On the other hand, it is known that the pure ideals of C(X) are precisely of the form O A for some closed subset A of βX, see [1]. Applying these results, we infer that every nonzero ideal contains a nonzero pure ideal. ...

In this paper, we describe how intersections with a totality of some ideals affect the essentiality of an ideal. We mainly study intersections with every (a) annihilator ideal, (b) prime ideal (c) strongly irreducible ideal (d) irreducible ideal and every pure ideal. After some general results, the paper focuses on C(X) to characterize spaces X when every irreducible ideal of C(X) is pseudoprime. We also characterize the rings of continuous functions C(X) in which every pseudoprime ideal is strongly irreducible. We give a negative answer to a question raised by Gilmer and McAdam.

Y,Z,J will denote respectively the right singular ideal, the left singular ideal and the Jacobson radical of R. Recall that 1) An ideal I is said to be a right (left) pure if for every a∈I , there exists b∈I such that a=ab(ba) [1] 2) R is called a uniform ring if for every non-zero ideal of R is essential , [4] .3) A ring R is said to be left kasch ring, if every maximal right ideal is a right annihilator [3] 4) R is said to be strongly regular if for each a∈R , there exists x∈R such that a=a 2 x. ...

Ring theory is one of the branches of an abstract algebra. This field is the study of a mathematical system with two binary operations. In this branch, many articles have studied this algebraic structure and presented some new works. However, the concept of purity has been studied before more than 40 years ago, especially the relation between the pure ideal and some other ideals on the given ring. In this paper, we survey the important results that concern with pure ideals. Some different types of ideals have been discussed such as N-pure ideals, z-ideals, Π-pure ideals and strongly pure ideals. Moreover, some recent results based on the work of several researchers have been summarized. On the other hand, regarding these types of ideals, some questions have been presented. Furthermore, many important results about various types of rings which are based on the notion of pure ideals have been studied.
... Tus, understanding the algebraic properties and structural characteristics of the Hurwitz series ring is essential. Te primary objective of this paper is to characterize diferential ideals within the Hurwitz series ring HR over the underlying ring R. In ring theory, an ideal I of a ring R is called pure if, for every a ∈ I, there exists a b ∈ I such that ab � a. Pure ideals are essential in ring theory as they help in classifying various types of rings, such as Von Neumann regular rings (VNR-rings) and PF-rings [4,5]. Terefore, characterizing pure ideals in the Hurwitz series rings HR is of signifcant interest. ...

This paper offers an in-depth investigation into pure ideals within the Hurwitz series ring. Specifically, by focusing on the Hurwitz series ring, denoted as HR over a ring R, we present a comprehensive characterization of differential ideals. In this paper, we prove that these differential ideals can be expressed in the form HI, where I represents an ideal in the underlying ring R. Through this analysis, a comprehensive understanding of the structure and properties of pure ideals within the Hurwitz series ring is achieved.
... The class of rings that satisfy this universal property had been investigated by De Marco and Orsatti (1971) under pm-rings. Gelfand rings have been the main subject of many articles in the literature over the years and are still of current interest, see e.g., Johnstone (1982), Contessa (1982), Contessa (1984), Al-Ezeh (1989, 1990a, Banaschewski (2000), Aghajani and Tarizadeh (2020).

In this paper, a combination of algebraic and topological methods is applied to obtain new and structural results on Gelfand residuated lattices. It is demonstrated that Gelfand’s residuated lattices strongly tied up with the hull–kernel topology. Particularly, it is shown that a residuated lattice is Gelfand if and only if its prime spectrum, equipped with the hull–kernel topology, is normal. The class of soft residuated lattices is introduced, and it is shown that a residuated lattice is soft if and only if it is Gelfand and semisimple. Gelfand residuated lattices are characterized using the pure part of filters. The relation between pure filters and radicals in a Gelfand residuated lattice is described. It is shown that a residuated lattice is Gelfand if and only if its pure spectrum is homeomorphic to its usual maximal spectrum. The pure filters of a Gelfand residuated lattice are characterized. Finally, it is proved that a residuated lattice is Gelfand if and only if the hull–kernel and the D\mathscr {D}-topology coincide on the set of maximal filters.
... Thus, for example, the definitions coincide for purity of ideals of R. The notion of pure ideals has been extensively studied during past decades, see e.g., Bkouche (1970), Fieldhouse (1974), De Marco (1983), Borceux and VanDenBossche (1983), Borceux et al. (1984), Al-Ezeh et al. (1988), Al-Ezeh (1989), Tarizadeh (2019), Tarizadeh and Aghajani (2021), Tarizadeh (2021).

This paper studies a fascinating type of filter in residuated lattices, the so-called pure filters. A combination of algebraic and topological methods on the pure filters of a residuated lattice is applied to obtain some new structural results. The notion of purely-prime filters of a residuated lattice has been investigated, and a Cohen-type theorem has been obtained. It is shown that the pure spectrum of a residuated lattice is a compact sober space, and a Grothendieck-type theorem has been demonstrated. It is proved that the pure spectrum of a Gelfand residuated lattice is a Hausdorff space, and deduced that the pure spectrum of a Gelfand residuated lattice is homeomorphic to its usual maximal spectrum. Finally, the pure spectrum of an mp-residuated lattice is investigated and verified that a given residuated lattice is mp iff its minimal prime spectrum is equipped with the induced dual hull-kernel topology, and its pure spectrum is the same.

Also, we provide new characterizations for von Neumann regular and zero-dimensional rings. Moreover, some results about mp-ring are given. Finally, a characterization for mid rings is provided. Then it is shown that the class of mid rings is strictly between the class of reduced mp-rings (p.f. rings) and the class of mp-rings.

In this paper, new algebraic and topological results on purely-prime ideals of a commutative ring (pure spectrum) are obtained. Especially, Grothendieck type theorem is obtained which states that there is a canonical correspondence between the idempotents of a ring and the clopens of its pure spectrum. It is also proved that a given ring is a Gelfand ring iff its maximal spectrum equipped with the induced Zariski topology is homeomorphic to its pure spectrum. Then as an application, it is deduced that a ring is zero dimensional iff its prime spectrum and pure spectrum are isomorphic. Dually, it is shown that a given ring is a reduced mp-ring iff its minimal spectrum equipped with the induced flat topology and its pure spectrum are the same. Finally, the new notion of semi-Noetherian ring is introduced and Cohen type theorem is proved.

For a commutative ring with unity R, a commutative ring is defined called the ring of Hurwitz series, HR. As a subring of this ring, HR , the ring of Hurwitz polynomnials is defined, hR. In this paper, we characterize pure ideals in the ring hR. Then we characterize when the ring hR is an almost PP-ring and a PF-ring. Finally, for the ring R satisfying xn=xx^n=x for a fixed positive integer n, we prove that every prime ideal of the rings HR(hR) is maximal and so their spectrum is completely characterized.

This paper is devoted to the study of a fascinating class of residuated lattices, the so-called mp-residuated lattice, in which any prime filter contains a unique minimal prime filter. A combination of algebraic and topological methods is applied to obtain new and structural results on mp-residuated lattices. It is demonstrated that mp-residuated lattices are strongly tied up with the dual hull-kernel topology. Especially, it is shown that a residuated lattice is mp if and only if its minimal prime spectrum, equipped with the dual hull-kernel topology, is Hausdorff if and only if its prime spectrum, equipped with the dual hull-kernel topology, is normal. The class of mp-residuated lattices is characterized by means of pure filters. It is shown that a residuated lattice is mp if and only if its pure filters are precisely its minimal prime filters, if and only if its pure spectrum is homeomorphic to its minimal prime spectrum, equipped with the dual hull-kernel topology.

A subalgebra A(X) of C(X) is said to be a \beta-subalgebra if the space of maximal ideals of A(X) equipped with the hull-kernel topology is homeomorphic to \beta X. Kharbhih and Dutta in [Closure formula for ideals in intermediate rings, Appl. Gen. Topol. 21 (2) (2020), 195-200] showed that the closure of every ideal I of an intermediate ring under the m-topology, briefly, the m-closure of I, equals the intersection of all maximal ideals in A(X) containing I. In this paper, we extend this fact to the class of \beta-subalgebras which is shown to be a larger class than intermediate rings. We also study a more extended class of subrings than \beta-subalgebras, namely, LBI-subalgebras, and characterize the conditions under which an LBI-subalgebra is a \beta-subalgebra. Moreover, some known facts in the context of C(X) and intermediate rings of C(X) are generalized to \beta-subalgebras.

We return to the work of Banaschewski and extract from it a theorem of Fuchs, Heinzer, and Olberding. As an application of Fuchs-Heinzer-Olberding's theorem, we generalize a result of Gillman and Kohls. We study pseudo-irreducible ideals and show that every ideal of a pm-ring is the (not necessarily finite) intersection of pairwise comaximal pseudo-irreducible ideals. After some general results, the article focuses on primal and pseudo-irreducible ideals in rings of continuous functions. We determine when every pseudo-irreducible ideal of C(X) is primal. We give a characterization of spaces X for which every OpO^p is a primal ideal of C(X).

In this paper, the notion of a Rickart residuated lattice is introduced and investigated. A residuated lattice is called Rickart if any its coannulet is generated by a complemented element. It is observed that a residuated lattice A{\mathfrak {A}}, is Rickart iff any its coannulet is a direct summand of A{\mathfrak {A}} iff it is quasicomplemented and normal iff it is generalized Stone. Some algebraic and topological characterizations are obtained, and some facts about pure and Stone filters are also extracted, which are given in the paper.

Specially, reduced purified rings are characterized. New characterizations for pure ideals of reduced Gelfand rings and mp-rings are provided. It is also proved that if the topology of a scheme is Hausdorff, then the affine opens of that scheme is stable under taking finite unions. In particular, every compact scheme is an affine scheme.

The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to give short proofs of the celebrated results of Rudd (1970), De Marco (1972), Brookshear (1977), Neville (1990), and Vechtomov (1996) with the help of some well-known results in ring theory. Secondly, to establish new algebraic characterizations for when C(X) is von Neumann regular, semihereditary, or a B'ezout ring. The notions of greatest common divisor and least common multiple in the ring C(X) are studied. Finally, the spaces X for which every idempotent of the classical quotient ring of C(X) is actually an element of C(X) itself, is completely determined.

Some of the main result of the present work are as follows: 1- Let R be aright MP-ring, r(a) is a W-ideal for all then a- Every essential ideal is a direct summand. b- R is strongly regular ring. 2- Let R be aright MP-ring. If R is right almost abelian left NBF ring, then R is strongly regular.

All rings R considered are commutative and have an identity element. Contessa called R a VNL-ring if a or 1 - a has a Von Neumann inverse whenever a ∈ R. Sample results: Every prime ideal of a VNL-ring is contained in a unique maximal ideal. Local and Von Neumann regular rings are VNL and if the product of two rings is VNL, then both are Von Neumann regular, or one is Von Neumann regular and the other is VNL. The ring n of integers mod n is VNL iff (pq)2 ∤ n whenever p and q are distinct primes. The ring R[[x]] of formal power series over R is VNL iff R is local. The ring C(X) of all continuous real-valued functions on a Tychonoff space X is VNL if and only if at most one point of X fails to be a P-point. All known VNL-rings satisfy SVNL, namely whenever the ideal generated by a (finite) subset of R is all of R, one of its members has a Von Neumann inverse. We show that a ring R is SVNL if and only if all maximal ideals of R are pure except maybe one. We show that ∏∈IR() is an SVNL if and only if there exists 0 ∈ I, such that R(0) is an SVNL and for all ∈ I - 0, R() is a Von Neumann regular ring. Whether every VNL-ring is an SVNL is an open question.
