INTRODUCTION Proof: If a – aya is - regular, then there exists y,z0 such that (a – aya) z (a – aya) = (a – aya) shows that axa =a. Thus, a is - regular. An element a of a ring R is said to be regular if and only if there exist an elemen t x of R such that axa = a. The ring R is regular if and only if each elemen t of R is regular. The concept of regular ring was introduced by Von Newm ann (1936). A ccording to B arnes (196 6) ' ring have been defined in the following way. Let R and ' be two additive abelian groups. If for all x, y, z 0 R and for all, ",$ , ' the conditions Definition: 1 .3: Let (R, ) be a ring pair. Let the set of all mxn matrices over the - ring R. Let be the set of all nxm matrices over the R – ring ring is said to be - regular ring if for there exists (1) be . A , such that AXA = A. Let R n denotes the square matrix of order n over the - ring R. (2) (3) Theorem : 1.1: Let R, be a ring pair. R is a regular ring if and on ly if R n is a - regular ring. are satisfied, and then R is called a - ring. Th at is R is a ring with respect to '. Authors like Nob usaw a (1964), Ravishankar et al, (1979) and Barnes (1966) himself have extended many fundamental results in ring theory to - ring. Further Hatice Kandamar (2000) has studied Kderivation of a Gamma Ring. Here we have developed regular ring, - ring to - regular ring and fundamental theorems on - regular ring have been established. - Proof: If R is a - regular, then for , there is an element such that xax = x. Now, let Definition: 1.1: Let R and be two additive abelian groups. An element a , R is said to be - regular if and only if there exists an element x0 such that axa = a. A - ring is said to be a - regular if and only if each eleme nt of R is - regular . Definition: 1.2: If R is a - ring and is a R – ring, then (R, ) is called a ring pair. Throughout, we consider (R, ) to be a ring pair. A= and X = Y= Z= and denote A – AXA = B, BYB – B = C and C – CZC = 0. Thus, C is a - regular in R 2 . Hence by lemma 1.1, B is a - regular in R 2 . Again applying by lemma 1.1, A is a - regular in R 2 . If A ,R n let A 1 be the ma trix of with A in the upper left hand corn er and zero’s elsew here. N ow, as element of A 1 is - regular, then there exists a element X= Such that A ! X A 1 = A. A - AX A =0 an d hence A is - regular. Conversely, if R n is - regular, then it is clear that R is - regular. Lemm a: 1.1: Let (R, ) be a ring pair. For a0 and y0 such that a – aya is - regular, then a is - regular.

Stat., 1(1): 1-3, 2009 Theorem: 1.2: Let (R, regular if and only if is a Proof: By theorem 1.1 is a ) be a ring pair. R is a - regular ring. , is is a - regular ring. We shall prove R/K . Consider the mapping: R/K Ê Consider the mapping Ê such that - - regular ring. Since - regular ring for all . , there ex ists such that B X B = B. For To prove: there such that A Y A = A by defining exists and A = , it follows that (i) n is well defined and one to one. (ii) n[(k + a"c) + (k + b"c)] = n (k + a"c) + (k + b"c) (iii) n(x + a"c) "(y + a"c) = n(x + a"c)n (")n(y +a"c), . Since A is arbitrary in is it will be proved by usual way of Fundamental theorem on homomorphism of groups. Hence n is isomorphic from R/K Ê. - regular ring. Similarly, we have to prove the converse part also by using theorem 1.1. Theorem: 2.2: Let R and be - regular rings. and n be a homomorphism from R onto Ê with kernel k. Then, R/K . Moreover there exist one to one correspondences between the set of ideals of and the set of ideals which contains the same K. This correspondence can be achieved by associating with an ideal w ith in to an ideal W defined by W ={ } in R. Then , R/W Ideals in - regular ring: Definition: 2.1: A subset S of the - regular ring R is a right ideal (left ideal) of R, if S is a subgroup of R and S R= is contained in S. A subset S in a - regular ring R is a two sided ideal or an ideal in - regular ring R if it contain both left and right ideals. (or). Proof: Consider the mapping is Definition: 2.2: If A and B are ideals in - regular ring R, then the sum o f A and B is also an ideal of R. i.e., A + B = {a + b: a,A,b,B}. defined by Definition: 2.3: Let A be an ideal in ' - regular ring R, then the set R/A is defined by R/A = {x + a } under the operation (+, C) is (i) R is well defined and one to one. (ii) R(a 1 "c +a2 "c) = R(a 1 "c) + R(a 2 "c) and (iii) R[(a 1 "c) " (a 2 "c)] = R(a 1 "c) R(") R(a 2 "c) To prove: defined as follows i) ii) (x + a (x + a c) + (y + a c) " (y + a Then, (R/A , +, C ) form a it will be proved by usu al way o f Fundamental theorem on homomorphism of groups. The kern el of homomorphism is defined by c) = (x + y) + a c c) = (x y) + a c. Ker R = { - regular ring R. } Now Definition: 2.4: Let R and R3 be - regular rings. Let n be a mapping from R v R3 , then if ( a"c) = bVc. If n is a homomorp hism of R v Ê , then the kernel of homom orphism of n is defined by Ker n = {r 0 R: n(r) = ó} where 0 is the zero ideal of R and ó is the zero ideal of Ê. is a homomorphism with kernel K. Thus, Fundamental Theorem on homom orphism in '- regular rings Theorem: 2.1: Every homomorphic image of a regular ring R is isomorphic to some residue class ring analogo us to He rstein (1975). By using Theorem 2.1, w e get . By restricting the homomorphism between the ideals W of R and of havin g the same kerne l K an d aga in by applying Theorem 2.1, We obtain Proof: Let Ê be the hom omo rphic image of a - regular ring R and be the corresponding homomorphism. Then, f is a homo morph ism of R onto Ê. Let K be the kernel of this homomorphism. Then K is an ideal of R. Then , R/K . 2 and hence Res. J. Math. Stat., 1(1): 1-3, 2009 Nobusawa, N., 19 64.
