ON RINGS WHOSE ESSENTIAL MAXIMAL RIGHT IDEALS ARE GP-INJECTIVE

In this paper, we continue to study the von Neumann regularity of rings whose essential maximal right ideals are GP-injective. It is proved that the following statements are equivalent: (1) R is strongly regular; (2) R is a 2-primal ring whose essential maximal right ideals are GP-injective; (3) R is a right (or left) quasi-duo ring whose essential maximal right ideals are GP-injective. Moreover, it is shown that R is strongly regular if and only if R is a strongly right (or left) bounded ring whose essential maximal right ideals are GP-injective. Finally, we prove that a PI-ring whose essential maximal right ideals are GP-injective is strongly pi-regular.
