Semisimple Module - Endomorphism Rings

Endomorphism Rings

  • A semisimple module M over a ring R can also be thought of as a ring homomorphism from R into the ring of abelian group endomorphisms of M. The image of this homomorphism is a semiprimitive ring, and every semiprimitive ring is isomorphic to such an image.
  • The endomorphism ring of a semisimple module is not only semiprimitive, but also von Neumann regular, (Lam 2001, p. 62).

Famous quotes containing the word rings:

    Ah, Christ, I love you rings to the wild sky
    And I must think a little of the past:
    When I was ten I told a stinking lie
    That got a black boy whipped....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
