Abstract
An associative ring R is called an E-ring if all endomorphisms of its additive group R+ are left multiplications, that is, for any α ∈ EndR+ there is r ∈ R such that α(x) = x · r for all x ∈ R. E-rings were introduced in 1973 by P. Schultz. A lot of articles are devoted to E-rings. But most of them are considered torsion free E-rings. In this work we consider E-rings (including mixed rings) whose ranks do not exceed 2. It is well known that an E-ring of rank 0 is exactly a ring classes of residues. It is proved that E-rings of rank 1 coincide with infinite T-ring (with rings Rχ). The main result of the paper is the description of E-rings of rank 2. Namely, it is proved that an E-ring R of rank 2 or decomposes into a direct sum of E-rings of rank 1, or R = Zm ⊕ J, where J is an m-divisible torsion free E-ring, or ring R is S-pure embedded in the ring ∏︀tp(R). In addition, we obtain some results about nilradical of a mixed
p∈S E-ring.
