Let R be a ring and S a multiplicative subset of R. An R-module T is called u-S-torsion (u-always abbreviates uniformly) provided that sT = 0 for some s ∈ S. The notion of u-S-exact sequences is also introduced from the viewpoint of uniformity. An R-module F is called u-S-flat provided that the induced sequence 0 → A ⊗_R F → B ⊗_R F → C ⊗_R F → 0 is u-S-exact for any u-S-exact sequence 0 → A → B → C → 0. A ring R is called u-S-von Neumann regular provided there exists an element s ∈ S satisfying that for any a ∈ R there exists r ∈ R such that sα = rα². We obtain that a ring R is a u-S-von Neumann regular ring if and only if any R-module is u-S-flat. Several properties of u-S-flat modules and u-S-von Neumann regular rings are obtained.

Let R be a commutative ring with $1{\neq}0$, I a proper ideal of R, and m and n positive integers. In this paper, we define I to be a weakly (m, n)-closed ideal if $0{\neq}x^m\;{\in}I$ for $x{\in}R$ implies $x^n{\in}I$, and R to be an (m, n)-von Neumann regular ring if for every $x{\in}R$, there is an $r{\in}R$ such that $x^mr=x^n$. A number of results concerning weakly(m, n)-closed ideals and (m, n)-von Neumann regular rings are given.

It is a well-known result that a commutative ring R is von Neumann regular if and only if for any maximal ideal m of R the R-module R/m is flat. In this note we bring a generalization of this result for modules.

A ring R is called a left (right) SF-ring if simple left (right) R-modules are flat. It is still unknown whether a left (right) SF-ring is von Neumann regular. In this paper, we give some conditions for a left (right) SF-ring to be (a) von Neumann regular; (b) strongly regular; (c) division ring. It is proved that: (1) a right SF-ring R is regular if maximal essential right (left) ideals of R are weakly left (right) ideals of R (this result gives an affirmative answer to the question raised by Zhang in 1994); (2) a left SF-ring R is strongly regular if every non-zero left (right) ideal of R contains a non-zero left (right) ideal of R which is a W-ideal; (3) if R is a left SF-ring such that $l(x)(r(x))$ is an essential left (right) ideal for every right (left) zero divisor x of R, then R is a division ring.

The purpose of this note is to improve several known results on GQ-injective rings. We investigate in this paper the von Neumann regularity of left GQ-injective rings. We give an answer a question of Ming in the positive. Actually it is proved that if R is a left GQ-injective ring whose simple singular left R-modules are GP-injective then R is a von Neumann regular ring.

For a commutative ring R and an injective cogenerator E in the category of R-modules, we characterize von Neumann regular rings and semisimple artinian rings in terms of the properties of dual modules with respect to E.

We investigate characterizations of rings whose simple singular right R-modules are GP-injective. It is proved that if R is a semiprime ring whose simple singular right R-modules are GP-injective, then the center $Z(R)$ of R is a von Neumann regular ring. We consider the condition ($^*$): R satisfies $l(a){\subseteq}r(a)$ for any $a{\in}R$. Also it is shown that if R satisfies ($^*$) and every simple singular right R-module is GP-injective, then R is a reduced weakly regular ring.

Let R be a commutative ring with $1{\neq}0$ and let $\mathcal{H}$ = {R|R is a commutative ring and Nil(R) is a divided prime ideal}. If $R{\in}\mathcal{H}$, then R is called a ${\phi}$-ring. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of ${\phi}$-torsion modules, ${\phi}$-flat modules, and ${\phi}$-von Neumann regular rings.

In this paper, the authors have found an equivalent condition of the endomorphism ring End(M) of a projective module M being von Neumann regular(Theorem 1.14) and found an equivalent condition of any associative ring R being von Neumann regular (Theorem 1.13).

We in this note introduce the concept of NCI rings which is a generalization of NI rings. We study the basic structure of NCI rings, concentrating rings of bounded index of nilpotency and von Neumann regular rings. We also construct suitable examples to the situations raised naturally in the process.
