Completely Centrally Essential Rings

Abstract: A ring $R$ is said to be centrally essential if for every its non-zero element $a$, there exist non-zero central elements $x$ and $y$ with $ax = y$. A ring $R$ is said to be completely centrally essential if all its factor rings are centrally essential rings. It is proved that completely centrally essential semiprimary rings are Lie nilpotent; noetherian completely centrally essential rings are strongly Lie nilpotent (in particular, every such a ring is a $PI$-ring). Every completely centrally essential ring has the classical ring of fractions which is a completely centrally essential ring. If $R$ is a commutative domain and $G$ is an arbitrary group, then any completely centrally essential group ring $RG$ is commutative.
