Quasi-duo rings and stable range descent

Quasi-Duo Rings and Stable Range Descent

In a recent paper, the first author introduced a general theory of corner rings in noncommutative rings that generalized the classical theory of Peirce decompositions. This theory is applied here to the study of the stable range of rings upon descent to corner rings. A ring is called quasi-duo if every maximal 1-sided ideal is 2-sided. Various new characterizations are obtained for such rings. ...

Exchange Rings Having Stable Range One

We investigate the sufficient conditions and the necessary conditions on an exchange ring R under which R has stable range one. These give nontrivial generalizations of Theorem 3 of V. P. Camillo and H.-P. Yu (1995), Theorem 4.19 of K. R. Goodearl (1979, 1991), Theorem 2 of R. E. Hartwig (1982), and Theorem 9 of H.-P. Yu (1995). 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 16E50, 19B10. An ...

A Note on Rings of Weakly Stable Range One

It is shown that if R and S are Morita equivalent rings then R has weakly stable range 1 (written as wsr(R) = 1) if and only if S has. Let T be the ring of a Morita context (R,S,M,N,ψ, φ) with zero pairings. If wsr(R) = wsr(S) = 1, we prove that T is a weakly stable ring. A ring R is said to have weakly stable range one if aR + bR = R implies that there exists a y ∈ R such that a + by ∈ R is ri...

Bézout rings with almost stable range 1 Warren

Elementary divisor domains were defined by Kaplansky [I. Kaplansky, Elementary divisors and modules, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 66 (1949) 464–491] and generalized to rings with zero-divisors by Gillman and Henriksen [L. Gillman, M. Henriksen, Some remarks about elementary divisor rings, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 82 (1956) 362–365]. In [M.D. Larsen, W.J. Lewis, T.S. Shores, Elementary divisor rings a...
