Abstract

A ring R is called left morphic if $$R/Ra{\simeq_-}l(a)$$ for every $a{\in}R$. Equivalently, for every $a{\in}R$ there exists $b{\in}R$ such that $Ra=l(b)$ and $l(a)=Rb$. A ring R is called left quasi-morphic if there exist $b$ and $c$ in R such that $Ra=l(b)$ and $l(a)=Rc$ for every $a{\in}R$. A result of T.-K. Lee and Y. Zhou says that R is unit regular if and only if $$R[x]/(x^2){\simeq_-}R{\propto}R$$ is morphic. Motivated by this result, we investigate the morphic property of the ring $$S_n=^{def}R[x_1,x_2,{\cdots},x_n]/(\{x_ix_j\})$$, where $i,j{\in}\{1,2,{\cdots},n\}$. The morphic elements of $S_n$ are completely determined when R is strongly regular.
