Abstract
A ring K is a radical extension of a subring B if for each x ∈ K there is aninteger n = n(x) > 0 such that xn ∈ B. In [2] and [3], C. Faith considered radical extensions in connection with commutativity questions, as well as the generation of rings. In this paper additional commutativity theorems are established, and rings with right minimum condition are examined. The main tool is Theorem 1.1 which relates the Jacobson radical of K to that of B, and is of independent interest in itself. The author is indebted to the referee for his helpful suggestions, in particular for the strengthening of Theorem 2.1.
