On the \(N^ *\)-metric completion of regular rings (Q1073143)

In this paper we prove that if R is a regular \(N^*\)-torsion free ring and S is its \(N^*\)-completion, then S is unit-regular, \(K_ 0\)(S) is unperforated and even archimedean and there is an affine homeomorphism between P(R) and P(S). We apply this result in order to prove that if R satisfies central separability then S can be seen as the ring of sections of a uniform field of metric rings.
