Throughout, the word "ring" will abbreviate the phrase "commutative ring with identity element 1" unless the contrary is stated explicitly. An ideal I of a ring R is called pseudoprime if ab = 0 implies a or b is in I. This term was introduced by C. Kohls and L. Gillman who observed that if I contains a prime ideal, then I is pseudoprime, but, in general, the converse need not hold. In [9 p. 233], M. Larsen, W. Lewis, and R. Shores ask if whenever the Jacobson radical J(R) of an arithmetical ring is pseudoprime, it follows that J(R) …
