Review text

Let \(A\) be a left noetherian ring with nilradical \(N\). In the set \({\mathcal C}(N)=\{c\in A\mid c+N\) regular in \(A/N\}\) choose \(c\), such that the reduced rank \(\rho(Ac)\) is minimal. It is proved that \(\Sigma={\mathcal C}(N)c\) is a left denominator set in the subring \(B=\{b\in A\mid db\in Ac\) for some \(d\in{\mathcal C}(N)\}\) and that the ring \(Q=B_\Sigma\) of left fractions with respect to \(\Sigma\) is left artinian. Furthermore, up to isomorphism, \(Q\) is independent of the choice of \(c\). Let \(I\) be a semiprime ideal of \(A\). Applying the above construction to the rings \(A_n=A/I^n\) with nilradicals \(I_n=I/I^n\), \(n=1,2,\ldots\), yields a sequence of rings \(Q_n\) and surjective ring homomorphisms \(Q_{n+1}\to Q_n\), such that the inverse limit is a semiperfect ring. Several examples are given to illustrate the connection between the localizability of \(A\) at \({\mathcal C}(I)\) and of the rings \(A_n\) at \({\mathcal C}(I_n)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0878.00051].
