Artinian \(\Gamma\)-rings (Q1808758)

The authors consider Artinian \(\Gamma\)-rings. They prove a number of results, which closely parallel ones which are well-known for rings. For example, the Jacobson radical of an Artinian \(\Gamma\)-ring is nilpotent. Reviewer's remark: The authors define a \(\Gamma\)-ring \(M\) to be Artinian if it satisfies the descending chain condition (DCC) on left (or right) ideals. In some of the proofs, which in fact require only the DCC on two-sided ideals, this is sufficient. However, in other cases the DCC on both left and right ideals is necessary. It should be noted that, unlike the ring case, the DCC on left ideals need not imply the DCC on right ideals, even for semiprime \(\Gamma\)-rings. A counterexample is given by \textit{G. L. Booth} [Rings and radicals, Pitman Res. Notes Math. Ser. 346, 3-14 (1996; Zbl 0849.16043)].
