Review text

The main problem considered in the paper is whether any DLFPF ring (direct limit of finite products of fields) which contains a field is a subring of a ring of continuous functions from a profinite space to a discrete field. Note that a DLFPF ring is a von Neumann regular ring in which every finite subset belongs to an Artinian subring, so it may be called a locally Artinian von Neumann regular ring as well. The author proves that a countable DLFPF ring which contains a field is embeddable in a finite product of function rings. Moreover, he gives some other partial results and makes some interesting remarks which might help to definitely settle the general question. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0872.00033].
