On Rings with Weakly Prime Centers

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We introduce a class of rings obtained as a generalization of rings with prime centers. A ring R is called weakly prime center (or simply WPC) if ab ϵ Z(R) implies that aRb is an ideal of R, where Z(R) stands for the center of R. The structure and properties of these rings are studied and the relationships between prime center rings, strongly regular rings, and WPC rings are discussed, parallel with the relationship between the WPC and commutativity.
