Isomorphisms between Morita context rings

Abstract: Let

(R, S,_{R} e g t h i n s p a c e M_{S},_{S} e g t h i n s p a c e N_{R}, f, g)

be a general Morita context, and let

be the ring associated with this context. Similarly, let

be another Morita context ring. We study the set

I s o (T, T^{'})

of ring isomorphisms from

T

to

T^{'}

. Our interest in this problem is motivated by: (i) the problem to determine the automorphism group of the ring

T

, and (ii) the recovery of the non-diagonal tiles problem for this type of generalized matrix rings. We introduce two classes of isomorphisms from

T

to

T^{'}

, the disjoint union of which is denoted by

{I s o}_{0} (T, T^{'})

. We describe

{I s o}_{0} (T, T^{'})

by using the

-graded ring structure of

T

and

T^{'}

. Our main result characterizes

{I s o}_{0} (T, T^{'})

as the set consisting of all semigraded isomorphisms and all anti-semigraded isomorphisms from

T

to

T^{'}

, provided that the rings

R^{'}

and

S^{'}

are indecomposable and at least one of

M^{'}

and

N^{'}

is nonzero; in particular

{I s o}_{0} (T, T^{'})

contains all graded isomorphisms and all anti-graded isomorphisms from

T

to

T^{'}

. We also present a situation where

{I s o}_{0} (T, T^{'}) = I s o (T, T^{'})

. This is in the case where

R, S, R^{'}

and

S^{'}

are rings having only trivial idempotents and all the Morita maps are zero. In particular, this shows that the group of automorphisms of

T

is completely determined.
