Abstract

Let RR be an associative ring with identity and let J(R)J(R) denote the Jacobson radical of RR. We say that RR is primary if R/J(R)R/J(R) is simple Artinian and J(R)J(R) is nilpotent. In this paper we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the group ring RGRG, where GG is a nontrivial abelian group, to be primary.
