Abstract
We say a ring R with unity is weakly principally quasi-Baer or simply (weakly p.q.-Baer) if the right annihilator of a principal right ideal is right s-unital by right semicentral idempotents, which implies that R modulo the right annihilator of any principal right ideal is flat. It is proven that the weakly p.q.-Baer property is inherited by polynomial extensions and includes both left p.q.-Baer rings and right p.q.-Baer rings and is closed under direct products and Morita invariance. A ring R is weakly p.q.-Baer if and only if the upper triangular matrix ring Tn(R) is weakly p.q.-Baer. We extend a theorem of Kist for commutative Baer rings to weakly p.q.-Baer rings for which every prime ideal contains a unique minimal prime ideal without using topological arguments. It is also shown that there is an important subclass of weakly p.q.-Baer rings which have a nontrivial subdirect product representation.
