Abstract: A ring R is uniquely π-clean if the power of every element can be uniquely written as the sum of an idempotent and a unit. We prove that a ring R is uniquely π-clean if and only if for any aR, there exists an integer m and a central idempotent eR such that a m -eJ(R), if and only if R is Abelian; idempotents lift modulo J(R); and R/P is torsion for all prime ideals PJ(R). Finally, we completely determine when a uniquely π-clean ring has nil Jacobson radical.

Keywords: idempotent unit; Jacobson radical; uniquely clean ring; π-uniquely clean rings
