COWLETELY SEMIPRIME IDEALS 569 A right ideal X is densely nil (DN) if either: X= 0; or X f 0 and every nonzero right ideal of R which is contained in X has nonzero intersection with N 121. The notion of a densely nil right ideal generalizes that of an essentially nilpotent right ideal [i] and [% I, and determines the class of right ideals which contain no reduced right ideals of R. The right singular ideal Z provides an example of a DN ideal which is not necessarily nil [A, Lemma 3.31.This paper grew out of results on idempotents in reduced right ideals, However it became evident that by defining the notion of a right semicentral idempotent many of the results would hold in a more general context. An idempotent e is right semicentral if eR= eRe (equivalently, for r€ R then er= ere). Hence every idempotent is right semicentral modulo a nilpotent element for if x= x2 then (xr-xrx) 2= 0. Since every idempotent in a reduced right ideal is right semicentral, one can see that a minimal right ideal is either DN or generated by a right semicentral idempotent. Also if an idempotent e of R is right semicentral and either R is semiprime or e is is left semicentral (ie Re= eRe), then e is central. From [A] and [GI the basic properties of a right semicentral idempotent are summarized in Lemma 1.
