Semigroups and rings whose proper one-sided ideals are power joined. (English) Zbl 0543.20042
A semigroup S is said to be power joined if for any a,$$b\in S$$ there exist positive integers m,n such that $$a^ m=b^ n$$. In this paper the authors prove the following: Theorem 1.6. Every proper one-sided ideal of a semigroup S is power joined if and only if S satisfies one of the following conditions: (i) S is power joined, (ii) S is a periodic group, (iii) S is a left (right) zero-semigroup of two periodic groups, and (iv) S is a semilattice of two semigroups M and $$S\backslash M$$, where M is power joined and coincides with the greatest ideal of S, and $$S\backslash M$$ is a group. Moreover, the identity of $$S\backslash M$$ is the identity for S. Theorem 2.1. Every proper one-sided ideal of a ring R is multiplicatively power joined if and only if R satisfies one of the following conditions: (i) R is a nilring, and (ii) R is a ring with identity and (R,.) is a semilattice of two semigroups M and $$R\backslash M$$, where M is a nilring and coincides with the greatest ideal of R, and $$R\backslash M$$ is a group.
