Tripotents: a class of strongly clean elements in rings
Abstract
Periodic elements in a ring generate special classes of strongly clean elements. In particular, elements b such that b = b3+, which are called tripotents and include idempotents, negative of idempotents and order 2 units, are strongly clean. Such elements are determined in 2×2 matrix rings over commutative domains or over arbitrary division rings and for rings of integers modulo n.
