On two-sided artinian quotient 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...

Two-sided Grassmann-Rayleigh quotient iteration

The two-sided Rayleigh quotient iteration proposed by Ostrowski computes a pair of corresponding left-right eigenvectors of a matrix C. We propose a Grassmannian version of this iteration, i.e., its iterates are pairs of p-dimensional subspaces instead of one-dimensional subspaces in the classical case. The new iteration generically converges locally cubically to the pairs of left-right p-dimen...

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. Moreover...

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...
