Rings Whose Invertible Elements Are Weakly Nil-Clean

We study those rings in which all invertible elements are weakly nil-clean calling them {\it UWNC rings}. This somewhat extends results due to Karimi-Mansoub et al. in Contemp. Math. (2018), where rings in which all invertible elements are nil-clean were considered abbreviating them as {\it UNC rings}. Specifically, our main achievements are that the triangular matrix ring ${\mathrm{T}}_n(R)$ over a ring $R$ is UWNC precisely when $R$ is UNC. Besides, the notions UWNC and UNC do coincide when $2\in J(R)$. We also describe UWNC $2$-primal rings $R$ by proving that $R$ is a ring with $J(R)=\mathrm{N}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{l}(R)$ such that $U(R)=\pm 1+\mathrm{N}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{l}(R)$. In particular, the polynomial ring $R[x]$ over some arbitrary variable $x$ is UWNC exactly when $R$ is UWNC. Some other relevant assertions are proved in the present direction as well.
