Self-duality of quasi-Harada rings and locally distributive rings

Distributive Lattices of Jacobson Rings

We characterize the distributive lattices of Jacobson rings and prove that if a semiring is a distributive lattice of Jacobson rings, then, up to isomorphism, it is equal to the subdirect product of a distributive lattice and a Jacobson ring. Also, we give a general method to construct distributive lattices of Jacobson rings.

Quasi-Primitive Rings and Density Theory

Rings with Annihilator Chain Conditions and Right Distributive Rings

We prove that if a right distributive ring R, which has at least one completely prime ideal contained in the Jacobson radical, satisfies either a.c.c or d.c.c. on principal right annihilators, then the prime radical of R is the right singular ideal of R and is completely prime and nilpotent. These results generalize a theorem by Posner for right chain rings.

Group - Graded Rings and Duality

We give an alternative construction of the duality between finite group actions and group gradings on rings which was shown by Cohen and Montgomery in [1]. This duality is then used to extend known results on skew group rings to corresponding results for large classes of group-graded rings. Finally we modify the construction slightly to handle infinite groups. Introduction. In the first section...

Locally finite profinite rings

We investigate the structure of locally finite profinite rings. We classify (Jacobson-) semisimple locally finite profinite rings as products of complete matrix rings of bounded cardinality over finite fields, and we prove that the Jacobson radical of any locally finite profinite ring is nil of finite nilexponent. Our results apply to the context of small compact G-rings, where we also obtain a...
