Extract
For a supernilpotent radical α and a special class σ of rings we call a ring R (α, σ)-essential if R is α-semisimple and for each ideal P of R with R/P ε σ, P ∩ I ≠ 0 whenever I is a nonzero two-sided ideal of R. (α, σ)-essential rings form a generalisation of prime essential rings introduced by L. H. Rowen in his study of semiprime rings and their subdirect decompositions and they have been a subject of investigations of many prominent authors since. We show that many important results concerning prime essential rings are also valid for (α, σ)-essential rings and demonstrate how (α, σ)-essential rings can be used to determine whether a supernilpotent radical is special. We construct infinitely many supernilpotent nonspecial radicals whose semisimple class of prime rings is zero and show that such radicals form a sublattice of the lattice of all supernilpotent radicals. This generalises Yu.M. Ryabukhin's example.
