REGULARITY AND STRONG REGULARITY IN THE CONTEXT OF CERTAIN CLASSES OF RINGS

Abstract

We consider the ring R[x]/(xn+1), where R is a ring, R[x] is the ring of polynomials in an indeterminant x, (xn+1) is the ideal of R[x] generated by xn+1 and n is a positive integer. The aim of this paper is to show that regularity or strong regularity of a ring R is necessary and sufficient condition under which the ring R[x]/(xn+1) is an example of a ring which belongs to some important classes of rings. In this context, we discuss distributive rings, Bézout rings, Gaussian rings, quasi-morphic rings, semihereditary rings, and rings which have weak dimension less than or equal to one.
