On the Quotient Groups of Subgroups of the Unit Groups of a Class of Completely Primary Finite Rings
(Pure Mathematical Sciences,, 2015)The study of completely primary nite rings has generated interest- ing results in the structure theory of nite rings with identity. It has been shown that a nite ring can be classi ed by studying the structures of ... -
A Characterization of Frobenius Derivations and Automorphisms of a Class of Local Near-Rings
(Theory and Practice of Mathematics and Computer Science, 2021-02-06)In this chapter, we use the idealization procedure for finite rings to construct a class of local quasi-3 prime Near-Rings N with a Jordan ideal J(N ) and admitting a Frobenius derivation. The structural characterization ... -

Unit Groups of Some Classes of Power Four Radical Zero Commutative Completely Primary Finite Rings
(International Journal of Algebra, 2014)Let R be a completely primary finite ring and J be its Jacobson radical. A class of such rings in which J4 = (0), J3 = (0) has been constructed. Moreover, the structures of their groups of units have been determined ... -
Units of Commutative Completely Primary Finite Rings of Characteristic pn
(International Journ. of Algebra, 2013-01)The characterization of the group of units of any commutative ring has not been done in general, and previous studies have restricted the classes of rings or groups under consideration. In this work, we determine the ... -
