A class of rings which are algebric over the integers by Douglas F. Rall

“…(See [3]) In this paper we develop a structure theory for a class of rings which properly contains the periodic rings. In particular, an associative ring R is said to be a quasi-anti-integral (QAI) ring if for every a≠0 in R there exist a positive integer k and integers n1,n2,…,nk (all depending on a), so that 0≠n1a=n2a2+…+nkak. …”
