For any reduced commutative $f$-ring with identity and bounded inversion, we show that a condition which is obviously necessary for the socle of the ring to coincide with the socle of its bounded part, is actually also sufficient. The condition is that every minimal ideal of the ring consist entirely of bounded elements. It is not too stringent, and is satisfied, for instance, by rings of ...

In this paper we investigate the sufficiency criteria which guarantee the classical localization of a bounded ring at its prime ideals.

Let i : A → R be a ring morphism, and χ : R → A a right R-linear map with χ(χ(r)s) = χ(rs) and χ(1 R) = 1 A. If R is a Frobenius A-ring, then we can define a trace map tr : A → A R. If there exists an element of trace 1 in A, then A is right FBN if and only if A R is right FBN and A is right noetherian. The result can be generalized to the case where R is an I-Frobenius A-ring. We recover resul...
