The symmetry of the CS condition on one-sided ideals in a prime ring. (Q2456380): Difference between revisions

The main result of this paper is motivated by the earlier result: For a prime ring \(R\), \(R\) is right Goldie, right CS and u-\(\dim(R_R)>1\) if and only if \(R\) is left Goldie, left CS and u-\(\dim(_RR)>1\). It is known that the condition on the uniform dimension of the module is indeed necessary for the equivalence. Recall, a module is an CS module if each of its submodules is essential in a direct summand of the module. In this paper the authors show that if \(R\) is a prime ring and \(e\) is an idempotent in \(R\), then \(eR_R\) is nonsingular, CS and \(1<\text{u-}\dim(eR_R)<\infty\) if and only if \(_ReR\) is nonsingular, CS and \(1<\text{u-}\dim(_ReR)<\infty\). Examples are provided to show that the finiteness of the uniform dimension is also in this case necessary.
