Examples of semiperfect rings (Q1123244)

Two examples are given to answer two questions in the theory of semiperfect rings. First, an example of a local (but not noetherian) \(\pi\)-regular ring, over which the ring of \(2\times 2\) matrices is not \(\pi\)-regular. The second example shows that there is a cyclic indecomposable left module over a right artinian ring such that its endomorphism ring is not local.
