Rings in which all elements are the sum of a central element and a quasi-nilpotent element
摘要
An element is called having a CQ-decomposition if it is the sum of a central element and a quasi-nilpotent element. A ring R is called a CQ ring if each element of R has a CQ-decomposition. We establish the basic properties of CQ rings, and give several characterizations of these rings. It is shown that every CQ ring is Dedekind finite. Moreover, we also prove that R is a CQ ring iff
