## Rings whose elements are the sum of a tripotent and an element from the Jacobson radical.(English)Zbl 1490.16091

Summary: This paper is about rings $$R$$ for which every element is a sum of a tripotent and an element from the Jacobson radical $$J(R)$$. These rings are called semi-tripotent rings. Examples include Boolean rings, strongly nil-clean rings, strongly 2-nil-clean rings, and semi-boolean rings. Here, many characterizations of semi-tripotent rings are obtained. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a Morita context (respectively, for a group ring of an abelian group or a locally finite nilpotent group) to be semi-tripotent are proved.
