A ring R is said to be an absolute subretract if for any ring S in the variety generated by R and for any ring monomorphism f from R into S, there exists a ring morphism g from S to R such that gf is the identity mapping. This concept, introduced by Gardner and Stewart, is a ring theoretic version of an injective notion in certain varieties investigated by Davey and Kovacs.

Also recall that a special principal ideal ring is a local principal ring with nonzero nilpotent maximal ideal. In this paper (finite) special principal ideal rings that are absolute subretracts are studied.
