Abstract

An element of a ring is called strongly J-clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and an element in its Jacobson radical that commute. A ring is strongly J-clean in case each of its elements is strongly J-clean. We investigate, in this article, strongly J-clean rings and ultimately deduce strong J-cleanness of T n (R) for a large class of local rings R. Further, we prove that the ring of all 2 × 2 matrices over commutative local rings is not strongly J-clean. For local rings, we get criteria on strong J-cleanness of 2 × 2 matrices in terms of similarity of matrices. The strong J-cleanness of a 2 × 2 matrix over commutative local rings is completely characterized by means of a quadratic equation.
