According to Krempa [13] an endomorphism of a ring R is called rigid if aα(a) =0 a = 0, for a R. We say a ring R is α-rigid if there exists a rigid endomorphism σ of R. Recall that a ring R is reduced if a 2 =0 a = 0, for a R. Note that any rigid endomorphism of a ring R is monomorphism and α-rigid rings are reduced rings. In [8], Faith introduced that a ring R is right zip ring if the right annihilator r R (V ) of a subset V of R is zero then there exists a finite subset V 0 V s.t. r R (V ) is zero. Equivalently for a left ideal L of R with r R (L) = 0 there exists a finitely generated left ideal L L s.t. r R (L) =0. R is a zip ring if it is right and left zip ring. The concept of zip ring was introduced by Zelmenwitz in [19] and appeared in various papers [2-5]. Zelmanwitz stated that any ring satisfying the descending chain condition on annihilators is a right zip ring (although not so called at that time), but the converse does not hold. In [3], Beachy and Blair have shown that if R is

1032 A. B. Singh, M. R. Khan and V. N. Dixit commutative zip ring then polynomial ring R[x] over zip ring R is right zip ring. In [8], faith proved that if a ring R is commutative ring and G is finite abelian group then the group ring R[G] ofg over R is zip ring. In [5], Cedo has shown that if R is a commutative zip ring then the n n full matrix ring mat n (R) over R is zip ring. In [10], C.Y. Hong etc. proved that a ring R is right zip ring if and only if autm n (R) is right zip ring. Let R be an Armendariz ring then R is right zip ring iff R[x] is right zip ring R is commutative ring and G is a u.p. monoid that contains an infinite cyclic submonoid then R is a zip ring iff R[G] is zip ring. In [9], W. Cartes has shown that let σ be an automorphism of R and R satisfies SA1 condition then R is right zip ring iff R[x, σ] is right zip ring iff R[x, x 1,σ] is right zip ring. In this paper we investigated that a ring R is right zip ring iff R G is right zip ring, when M is u.p. monoid and σ is weakly rigid. 2 Main Results Definition 2.1. Let σ be an automorphism of a ring R. We define σ to be weakly rigid if ab =0implies aσ(b) =0or σ(a)b =0for any a, b R. A monoid homomorphism σ from a monoid G into the group of automorphism of R, x α x is called weakly rigid if α x Aut(R) is weakly rigid for every x G. Example 2.2 ([Example 2.4, 15]). (i) If for every x G, α x = id, then α is a weakly rigid. (ii) Let σ be an endomorphism of R according to [11] and [13], σ is called a rigid endomorphism if aσ(a) =0implies a =0for a R. A ring R is said to be σ-rigid if there exists a rigid endomorphism σ of R. Clearly every rigid endomorphism is monomorphism and every σ-rigid ring is reduced. Let σ be rigid automorphism of it was shown in [12] that if ab =0then aσ n (b) =0or σ n (a)b =0for any positive integer n. Thus the map α : Z aut(r) :σ(x) =σ ( x is weakly ) rigid. Let β be a rigid automorphism z z of a ring R 0 and S =. Set R 0 z 1 = R 0 S, the direct sum of rings R 0 and S. Define an endomorphism σ of R via σ(r, s) =(β(r),s) where r R and s S. Then it is easy to see that σ is weakly rigid and so the map σ : Z Aut(R 1 ):σ(x) =σ x is weakly rigid but σ is not rigid. {( ) a p (iii) Let R = a Z, p Q} where Q is a set of al rational numbers. 0 a Let σ : R R be an automorphism defined by (( )) ( ) a 0 a p/2 σ = 0 a 0 a

Consider the ring T = a, b R}.Let (( 0 )) a ( ) a b a b σ : T T be an automorphism defined by T = so 0 a 0 a σ is not rigid but σ is weakly rigid and so the map σ : Z Aut(R) : α(x) =σ x is weakly rigid. Recall that a monoid G is called unique product monoid (u.p. monoid) if for any two nonempty finite subsets A, B G, there exists an element g G uniquely presented in the form ab where a A and b B. The class of u.p. monoids is quite large and important (See [4], [15], [16]). For examples this class includes the right or left ordered monoids, submonoids, of a free group and torsion free nilpotent groups. Every u.p. monoid G has no non-unity element of finite order. Let R be a ring and G be a u.p. monoid. Assume that G acts on R by means of a group of R we denote the image of r R under g G by σ g (r). We can form a skew monoid ring R G (induced by the monoid homomorphism σ). The skew monoid ring R G is a ring which as a left R-module is free with basis G and multiplication defined by the rule gr = σ g (r)g. Theorem 2.3 ([12, Theorem 3]). Let R be a ring, G be a u.p. monoid and A a right ideal of R G. Ifr R G (A) 0. Then r R (A) 0. Theorem 2.4. Let R be a ring and G is v.p. monoid. Let σ is weakly rigid, then skew monoid ring R G induced by σ is right zip ring iff R is right zip ring. Proof. Suppose R is right zip ring and U R G with r R G (U) = 0. Let V be the set of coefficients of elements of U so V R. If any element p r R (V ), then Vp= 0 implies vp =0 v V. Now take any element β = v 0 g 0 + v 1 g 1 + v 2 g 2 +...+ v n g n U where v i V and g i G. so βp = (v 0 g 0 + v 1 g 1 +...+ v n g n )p = v 0 g 0 p + v 1 g 1 p +...+ v n gn p = v 0 σ g0 (p)g 0 + v 1 σ g1 (p)g 1 +...+ v n σ gn (p)g n. Since σ is weakly rigid so if vp = 0 implies vσ g (p) =0 v V and g G. Thus βp = 0 + 0 + 0 i.e. βp = 0 implies p r R G (U) =0sop = 0 thus p r R (v) = 0. Since R is rigid zip and V R such that r R (v 0 )=0. For any p V 0, there exists α p U such that some coefficients of α p is p. Let U 0 is minimal subset of U such that α p U 0 for each. Then U 0 is finite subset

1034 A. B. Singh, M. R. Khan and V. N. Dixit of U. Let V 1 be a set of all coefficients of elements in U 0. Then V 0 V 1 and so r R (V 1 ) r R (V 0 ) = 0. Thus r R (V 1 ) = 0. Now only to show that r R G (U 0 )=0. Suppose r R G (U 0 ) 0 so there exists 0 α = a 0 h 0 + a 1 h 1 +...+ a n h n r R G (U 0 ) then U 0 α = 0 so by the Theorem 2.3 U 0 a 0 = 0, where a 0 0, then a 0 r R (U 0 ). Since σ is weakly rigid so a 0 r R (V 1 ). But r R (V 1 ) = 0 therefore a 0 = 0, which is contraction so r R G (U 0 ) = 0. Hence R G is skew monoid ring. Conversely, assume that R G is right zip ring and let any subset V R with r R (V ) = 0. Let any element α = a 0 h 0 + a 1 h 1 +...+ a n h n r R G (V ) where a i R and h i G. Then Vα= 0 i.e vα =0 v V.Thusva i = 0 for all j =0, 1, 2,...,n implies a i r R (V )=0soa i = 0 for all i =0, 1, 2,...,n. Thus α = 0 that means r R G (V ) = 0. Since R G is right zip rings so there exists a finite subset. V 0 V such that r R G (V 0 ) = 0. Therefore r R (V 0 )= r R G (V 0 ) R = 0 implies r R (v 0 ) = 0. Hence R is right zip ring. In [18], Rage and Chhawchharia introduced that a ring R is called Aremendariz if a i b j = 0 for all i and j, whenever polynomials f(x) = m a i x i, n and g(x) = b j x i R[x] satisfy f(x)g(x) = 0. suppose that σ is an endomorphism of R. A ring R satisfies condition SA1 if for f(x) = m a i x i j=0 and g(x) = n j=0 b j x j R[x, j]f(x)g(x) = 0 implies a i σ i (b j ) = 0 for all 0 i m and 0 j n. Corollary 2.5 ([10, Theorem 16]). Suppose that R is a commutative ring and G is a u.p. monoid that contains infinite cyclic submonoids then R is zip ring if and only if R[G] is zip ring. Corollary 2.6 ([8]). A commutative ring R is zig ring if and only if R[x] is zip ring. Corollary 2.7 ([10, Theorem 11]). Let R is Armendariz ring then R is right zip ring if and only if R[x] is right zip ring. Corollary 2.8 ([9, Theorem 2.8]). Let σ be an automorphism of R and suppose R satisfies SA1. Then the following are equivalent. (1) R is right zip ring. (2) R[x, σ] is right zip ring. (3) R[x, x 1,σ] is right zip ring. Corollary 2.9. Let R be a right Mccoy ring. Then R[x] is right zip ring if and only if R is right zip ring. i=0 i=0
