A NOTE ON LEFT STROUGLY NIL AND LEFT STROUGLY NILPOTENT

Abstract

In [2] van der Walt called a left ideal L of a ring A, left strongly nil, if given 1 ε L and k ε K, K a left ideal. there is an n such that (1+k)ⁿ ε K. L is called left strongly nilpotent if for any left ideal K there exists an m such that (L+K)^m ⊆ K. In this paper we will prove that if A is a left artinian ring (not necessarily with unity) then every left strongly nil left ideal is left strongly nilpotent. This result is a generalization of the main theorem of [2].
