Abstract

The degree of nilpotency of a ring R is defined to be the supremum of the orders of nilpotency of its nilpotent elements and it is denoted by v(R). We consider the degree of nilpotency of the ring of m x m matrices Rm over a ring R. We obtain given results concerning the degrees v(Rm) for distinct m’s, in the case R has no nonzero two-sided annihilators. It is shown that if v(Rm) = m for some m, and if R' is a ring containing R as an ideal such that R' has no nonzero two-sided annihilators of R, then (FORMULA PRESENTED). An application of this result is given.
