Ring extension problem, Shukla cohomology and Ann-category theory

Abstract: Every ring extension of

A

by

R

induces a pair of group homomorphisms

preserving multiplication, satisfying some certain conditions. A such 4-tuple

(R, A, m a t h c a l L^{*}, m a t h c a l R^{*})

is called a ring pre-extension. Each ring pre-extension induces a

R

-bimodule structure on bicenter

K_{A}

of ring

A,

and induces an obstruction

k,

which is a 3-cocycle of

-algebra

R,

with coefficients in

R

-bimodule

K_{A}

in the sense of Shukla. Each obstruction

k

in this sense induces a structure of a regular Ann-category of type

(R, K_{A}) .

This result gives us the first application of Ann-category in extension problems of algebraic structures, as well as in cohomology theories.
