Peirce Stability of Null Polynomials and a Sharp Radical Bound for Finite Rings
Let $R$ be a finite associative ring with identity, and let $\Nul(R)$ denote the set of polynomials in a central indeterminate that vanish identically on $R$ under right evaluation. We establish two results concerning the failure of $\Nul(R)$ to be a right ideal. First, if $e$ is an idempotent, $f=1-e$, and either $eRf...
