Idempotent Artinian rings and projective covers

Artinian and Noetherian Rings

Artinian Band Sums of Rings

Band sums of associative rings were introduced by Weissglass in 1973. The main theorem claims that the support of every Artinian band sum of rings is finite. This result is analogous to the well-known theorem on Artinian semigroup rings. 1991 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc): primary 16P20, 16W50; secondary 20M25. Let B be a band, that is, a semigroup consisting of idempoten...

Subrings of Artinian and Noetherian Rings

An easy consequence of this is that a left Noetherian (respectively left Artinian) ring which is finitely generated over its center is right Noetherian (respectively right Artinian). Theorem 1 follows easily from Theorem 2, which gives a partial converse to the following standard fact: IfR C S are rings, and ifQ is an injective R-module, then Hom~(S, Q) is an injective S-module (this follows, f...

Quasi-projective covers of right $S$-acts

In this paper $S$ is a monoid with a left zero and $A_S$ (or $A$) is a unitary right $S$-act. It is shown that a monoid $S$ is right perfect (semiperfect) if and only if every (finitely generated) strongly flat right $S$-act is quasi-projective. Also it is shown that if every right $S$-act has a unique zero element, then the existence of a quasi-projective cover for each right act implies that ...

Left localizations of left Artinian rings

For an arbitrary left Artinian ring R, explicit descriptions are given of all the left denominator sets S of R and left localizations SR of R. It is proved that, up to R-isomorphism, there are only finitely many left localizations and each of them is an idempotent localization, i.e. SR ≃ S e R and ass(S) = ass(Se) where Se = {1, e} is a left denominator set of R and e is an idempotent.
