On one-sided ideals of rings of linear transformations (Q2479739)

Let \(D\) be a division ring, \(V\) a right or left vector space over \(D\), and \(L(V)\) the ring of all right (resp. left) linear transformations on \(V\). The authors characterize certain one-sided ideals of the ring \(L(V)\) in terms of their rank-one idempotents. The results are used to characterize a division ring \(D\) in terms of the one-sided ideals of \(M_n(D)\).
