GENERALISED IDEALS OF RINGS

Abstract

Using a general definition of a regularity for rings, F- and F- qausi-ideals of a ring are defined. These concepts are shown to be generalizations of ideals or one-sided ideals of a ring. An F-semi prime F—(F-quasi-) ideal of a ring R is also defined. F-regular rings are characterized in terms of F-semi prime F- (F-quasi-) ideals for a large class of polynomial regularities including some well known regularities. A more general characterization of the prime radical β(R) of a ring are given in terms of F—(F-quasi-) ideals.
