\(UN\)-rings. (English) Zbl 1397.16037

Summary: A nonzero ring is called a \(UN\)-ring if every nonunit is a product of a unit and a nilpotent element. We show that all simple Artinian rings are \(UN\)-rings and that the \(UN\)-rings whose identity is a sum of two units (e.g. if 2 is a unit), form a proper class of 2-good rings (in the sense of P. Vámos [Q. J. Math. 56, No. 3, 417–430 (2005; Zbl 1156.16303)]). Thus, any noninvertible matrix over a division ring is the product of an invertible matrix and a nilpotent matrix.
