Why is every Boolean ring regular?

108 Views Asked by At

I answered my own question. As usual, I was overthinking. In writing this up, I figured it out, so thought I'd keep it as a Q&A, seeing as though I couldn't find it anywhere.

The Question:

Show that every Boolean ring is regular.

The Details:

Definition: A ring $R$ is Boolean if $a^2=a$ for all $a\in R$.

All Boolean rings are commutative.

Definition: An element $x$ in a ring $R$ is regular if there exists a $y\in R$ such that $x=xyx$. We call $R$ regular if all its elements are regular.

Thoughts:

Let $R$ be Boolean, $a,b\in R$. Then

$$aabb=a^2b^2=ab=(ab)^2=abab.$$

What now?

Further Context:

I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on inverse semigroups, which are regular semigroups whose idempotents commute. This ought to be something I can answer myself. I gave it a while but . . .

Let $x\in R$ for a Boolean ring $R$. We have

$$\begin{align} x&=x^2\, \text{(Boolean)}\\ &=xx\, \text{(Indices)}\\ &=xx^2\, \text{(Boolean)}\\ &=x\color{red}{x}x\, \text{(Indices)}. \end{align}$$

So just let $y=\color{red}{x}$.
