Abstract
Keimel introduced the notion of proyectability in the class of lattice-ordered rings and f-rings in [5]. Here we introduce a similar notion forgeting the lattice and ordered structure of the ring and interpretating the orthogonality within the multiplicative structure (in the class of reduced rings). This notion turns out to be equivalent to the one defining the class of PP-rings and it is related to the compactness of the space of the minimal primes ideals and to the class of weak Baer rings.
