Definability in the lattice of ring varieties

A. A. Iskander

Vol. 76 (1978), No. 1, 61–67
Abstract

A variety of associative rings B immediately covers its subvariety A if every member of B outside A generates B. The variety {2x = 0,xy = 0} is the unique equationally complete variety with precisely two immediate covers in the lattice of all associative ring varieties. The variety of all Boolean rings is first order definable in the lattice of all associative ring varieties. So are the varieties defined by {2x = 0,xy yx = 0} and {xy = 0}.
