A ring in which every element is quasi-regular. An element $a$ of an alternative (in particular, associative) ring $R$ is called quasi-regular if there is an element $a'\in R$ such that
$$a+a'+aa'=a+a'+a'a=0.$$
The element $a'$ is called the quasi-inverse of $a$. If $R$ is a ring with identity 1, then an element $a\in R$ is quasi-regular with quasi-inverse $a'$ if and only if the element $1+a$ is invertible in $R$ with inverse $1+a'$. Every nilpotent element is quasi-regular. In an associative ring the set of all quasi-regular elements forms a group with respect to the operation of cyclic composition: $x\cdot y=x+y+xy$. An important example of a quasi-regular ring is the ring of (non-commutative) formal power series without constant terms. There exist simple associative quasi-regular rings [2].
