Quasi-Duo Rings and Stable Range Descent
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Using some of these characterizations, we prove that, if a quasi-duo ring R has stable range ≤ n, the same is true for any semisplit corner ring of R. This contrasts with earlier results of Vaserstein and Warfield, which showed that the stable range can increase unboundedly upon descent to (even) Peirce corner rings. §

STRONGLY DUO AND CO-MULTIPLICATION MODULES
Let R be a commutative ring. An R-module M is called co-multiplication provided that foreach submodule N of M there exists an ideal I of R such that N = (0 : I). In this paper weshow that co-multiplication modules are a generalization of strongly duo modules. Uniserialmodules of finite length and hence valuation Artinian rings are some distinguished classes ofco-multiplication rings. In additio...
متن کاملDescent for Quasi-coherent Sheaves on Stacks
We give a homotopy theoretic characterization of sheaves on a stack and, more generally, a presheaf of groupoids on an arbitary small site C. We use this to prove homotopy invariance and generalized descent statements for categories of sheaves and quasi-coherent sheaves. As a corollary we obtain an alternate proof of a generalized change of rings theorem of Hovey.
متن کاملSemistar dimension of polynomial rings and Prufer-like domains
Let $D$ be an integral domain and $star$ a semistar operation stable and of finite type on it. We define the semistar dimension (inequality) formula and discover their relations with $star$-universally catenarian domains and $star$-stably strong S-domains. As an application, we give new characterizations of $star$-quasi-Pr"{u}fer domains and UM$t$ domains in terms of dimension inequal...

We give a complete characterization of the class of quasi-compact morphisms of schemes that are stable effective descent morphisms for the SCHEMESindexed category given by quasi-coherent sheaves of modules.
متن کاملSome classes of strongly clean rings
A ring $R$ is a strongly clean ring if every element in $R$ is the sum of an idempotent and a unit that commutate. We construct some classes of strongly clean rings which have stable range one. It is shown that such cleanness of $2 imes 2$ matrices over commutative local rings is completely determined in terms of solvability of quadratic equations.
