Abstract

A radical class R of rings is elementary if it contains precisely

those rings whose singly generated subrings are in R. Many examples of ele-

mentary radical classes are presented, and all those which are either contained

in the Jacobson radical class or disjoint from it are described. There is a dis-

cussion of Mal'tsev products of radical classes in general, in which it is shown,

among other things, that a product of elementary radical classes need not be

a radical class, and if it is, it need not be elementary.

Keywords

Radical class, locally equational class, Mal'tsev-Neumann product
