Semi-simple Extensions of Rings

چکیده
In this paper we investigate the conditions under which a given ring is a sub-ring of a semi-simple ring. For convenience, we say that a ring A is an extension of a ring B, if B is a sub-ring of A. It is found that the existence of a semi-simple extension is equivalent to the vanishing of the extension radical, a two-sided ideal defined analogously to the ordinary radical. In Theorem II we give an intrinsic characterization of the extension radical, where we find that the latter is determined by the addition in the ring and is independent of the multiplication. This result is summarized in Theorem III. For the convenience of the reader, we reproduce here some of the definitions given in the paper mentioned in footnote 1. The radical of a ring A is obtained as the intersection of the annihilators of all simple A -modules. When the radical consists only of the zero element of A, we say that the ring is semi-simple. The radical as defined here contains the ideal classically known as the radical (the sum of all nilpotent left ideals) and is equal to it if one assumes tht A satisfies the descending chain condition on left ideals. A ring which is semisimple in the present sense has then no nilpotent ideals. In order to define the extension radical, we must first introduce the auxiliary notion of a quasi-simple module. If 9ft is an abelian group, denote by £(9ft) the ring of all endomorphisms of 9ft. We say that 9ft is a quasi-simple group if 9ft is a simple E(9ft)-module. An A -module 2ft is a quasi-simple module if the underlying additive group of 9ft is quasi-simple. We shall find the following two lemmas useful.

Extensions of strongly alpha-reversible rings
We introduce the notion ofstrongly $alpha$-reversible rings which is a strong version of$alpha$-reversible rings, and investigate its properties. We firstgive an example to show that strongly reversible rings need not bestrongly $alpha$-reversible. We next argue about the strong$alpha$-reversibility of some kinds of extensions. A number ofproperties of this version are established. It is shown ...

متن کاملOre extensions of skew $pi$-Armendariz rings
For a ring endomorphism $alpha$ and an $alpha$-derivation $delta$, we introduce a concept, so called skew $pi$-Armendariz ring, that is a generalization of both $pi$-Armendariz rings, and $(alpha,delta)$-compatible skew Armendariz rings. We first observe the basic properties of skew $pi$-Armendariz rings, and extend the class of skew $pi$-Armendariz rings through various ring extensions. We nex...
متن کاملApplications of epi-retractable modules
An R-module M is called epi-retractable if every submodule of MR is a homomorphic image of M. It is shown that if R is a right perfect ring, then every projective slightly compressible module MR is epi-retractable. If R is a Noetherian ring, then every epi-retractable right R-module has direct sum of uniform submodules. If endomorphism ring of a module MR is von-Neumann regular, then M is semi-...
