On graded special radicals of graded rings

Abstract

In this paper, a graded ring is a ring which is the direct sum of a family of its additive subgroups indexed by a nonempty set under the assumption that the product of homogeneous elements is again homogeneous. We study graded special radicals and special radicals of graded rings, but which contain the corresponding Jacobson radicals. There are two versions of this graded radical, which we name the graded over-Jacobson and the large graded over-Jacobson radical. We establish several characterizations of the graded over-Jacobson radical of a graded ring and also prove that the largest homogeneous ideal contained in the corresponding classical radical of a graded ring coincides with the large graded over-Jacobson radical of that ring.
