On graded Thierrin radicals of graded rings

Abstract

In this paper, we study the graded Thierrin radical and the classical Thierrin radical of a graded ring, which is the direct sum of a family of its additive subgroups indexed by a nonempty set, under the assumption that the product of homogeneous elements is again homogeneous. There are two versions of this graded radical, the graded Thierrin and the large graded Thierrin radical. We establish several characterizations of the graded Thierrin radical and prove that the largest homogeneous ideal contained in the classical Thierrin radical of a graded ring coincides with the large graded Thierrin radical of that ring.
