On strongly prime rings and ideals

2000, Communications in Algebra

Abstract

Strongly prime rings may be defined as prime rings with simple central closure. This paper is concerned with further investigation of such rings. Various characterizations, particularly in terms of symmetric zero divisors, are given. We prove that the central closure of a strongly (semi-)prime ring may be obtained by a certain symmetric perfect one sided localization. Complements of strongly prime ideals are described in terms of strongly multiplicative sets of rings. Moreover, some relations between a ring and its multiplication ring are examined.

Key takeaways

  • , a n ) the ideal of the ring generated by these elements.
  • For a semiprime ring R we denote by Q(R) the central closure and by F (R) the extended centroid of the ring R. By definition, F (R) is the centre of Q(R) and is a field when R is a prime ring.
  • A ring R is strongly prime if and only if its multiplication ring M (R) is strongly prime.
  • Applying the Popescu-Spircu Theorem to the embedding R → Q(R) for a strongly semiprime ring R, and the characterisation of Gabriel filters in Proposition 2.7 and Theorem 2.8, we obtain: Theorem 2.9.
  • An ideal p ⊂ R is called strongly prime if the factor ring R/p is a strongly prime ring.
