Abstract
Group actions are a valuable tool for investigating the symmetry and automorphism features of rings. The concept of fuzzy ideals in rings has been expanded with the introduction of fuzzy primary, weak primary, and semiprimary ideals. This paper explores the existence of fuzzy ideals that are semiprimary but neither weak primary nor primary. Furthermore, it defines a group action on a fuzzy ideal and examines the properties of fuzzy ideals and their level cuts under this group action. In fact, it aims to investigate the relationship between fuzzy semiprimary ideals and the radical of fuzzy ideals under group action. Additionally, it includes the results related to the radical of fuzzy ideals and fuzzy -semiprimary ideals. Moreover, the preservation of the image and inverse image of a fuzzy -semiprimary ideal of a ring under certain conditions is also studied. It delves into the algebraic nature of fuzzy ideals and the radical under -homomorphism of fuzzy ideals.

1. Introduction
Since the pioneering work of L.A. Zadeh [1] on fuzzy sets, there has been a growing interest in this field due to its wide-ranging applications in engineering and computer science. Initially, the focus was on fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic. However, over the past two decades, there has been increasing interest in the development of fuzzy algebra, which generalizes the well-established properties of algebraic structures. A significant portion of mathematical research has been dedicated to the study of fuzzy ideals in rings. Unlike classical subrings (ideals), fuzzy subrings (fuzzy ideals) are characterized by the inability to precisely determine which elements of a ring belong to a fuzzy subring (fuzzy ideal). The concept of fuzzy subgroups in groups was introduced and investigated by Rosenfeld [2] in 1971, and since then, numerous researchers [3] have explored the properties of fuzzy subgroups. In 1991, D.S. Malik and J.N. Mordeson [4] introduced and studied the maximality of fuzzy ideals, fuzzy primary ideals, and the fuzzy radical of fuzzy ideals in rings. Subsequently, the concepts of fuzzy nil radicals [5], fuzzy primary ideals [6], and fuzzy primary ideals [7] were introduced for a ring. In 1992, R. Kumar [8] redefined fuzzy semiprimary, fuzzy primary ideals of rings. Furthermore, he characterized fuzzy ideals by their level cuts. In 1993, H.V. Kumbhojkar and M.S. Bapat [9] examined the advantages and disadvantages of various formulations of fuzzy primary ideals. Kalita et al. [10] introduced and investigated singular fuzzy ideals of commutative rings. H.S. Kim et al. [11] explored the radical structure of fuzzy polynomial ideals. Additionally, many researchers [12,13] studied fuzzy ideals in various other algebraic structures. In [14], P. Yiarayong discussed weakly fuzzy primary and weakly fuzzy quasi-primary ideals in LA-semigroups as well as fuzzy primary, fuzzy quasi-primary, and fuzzy completely primary concepts.
In this paper, we assume that is a commutative ring with unity and consider the definition of fuzzy primary ideals of a ring introduced in [9], and study -invariant fuzzy primary and weak primary ideals of the ring and their properties. We also studied the properties of primary and fuzzy weak primary ideals of under -homomorphism.
This paper is categorized into the following sections. With some of the fundamental concepts and outcomes, we start Section 2. Section 3 studies the relationship between primary and radical fuzzy ideals under the group action. In Section 4, we generalize the concept of a fuzzy primary ideal as a weak primary (w-primary) fuzzy ideal and study properties of a fuzzy w-primary ideal under the group action. In Section 5, we broaden the concept of the fuzzy w-primary ideal to the semiprimary fuzzy ideals and explore the characteristics of the semiprimary fuzzy ideals under the group action.

5. Fuzzy Semiprimary Ideals and Their Applications
This section is devoted to studying some fundamental characteristics of fuzzy semiprimary ideals and their images as well as studying the relationship between fuzzy semiprimary, fuzzy w-primary, primary, prime, and maximal ideals.

6. Conclusions
In this manuscript, we have investigated the conditions under which fuzzy -semiprimary ideals and the radical of fuzzy ideals are related to each other. Thus, our understanding of fuzzy algebra and its applications might be much improved with the help of the idea of fuzzy semiprimary ideals. In the future, we may extend this work to more general structures, such as near rings and semirings.
