Özet

This paper is concerned with the investigation of those rings R whose invertible elements are sums 1 + a for an element a ∈ R such that 1 − au is invertible for all invertible u ∈ R with au = ua. UJ-rings and UQ-rings (and hence UU-rings) are examples of such rings. We prove that such rings are Dedekind finite, and for semisimple rings R, R ∼= F2 × F2 × · · · × F2. In case R is also a semipotent ring, it is shown that R/J(R) is a Boolean ring.
