On Rings Whose Strongly Prime Ideals Are Completely Prime
Abstract
Kaplansky introduced the concept of the K-rings, concerning the commutativity of rings. In this paper, we concentrate on a property of K-rings, introducing the concept of the strongly NI rings, which is stronger than NI-ness. We first examine the relations among the concepts concerned with K-rings and strongly NI rings, constructing necessary examples in the process. We also show that strong NI-ness is a hereditary radical property.
