Rings With Comparability
Given a ring \(R\) having a completely prime ideal \(P\) (i.e., a prime ideal \(P\) such that \(S=R\setminus P\) is multiplicatively closed), \(R\) is said to satisfy (right) \(P\)-comparability if for all \(a\), \(b\) in \(R\), one of the following holds: \(aR\subseteq bR\), \(bR\subseteq aR\), or \((aR)S^{-1}=(bR)S^{-1}\). It is shown (Lemma 1.3) that if a ring \(R\) satisfies (right) \(P\)-comparability then \(P\) must be contained in the Jacobson radical \(J(R)\) of \(R\); consequently, it is natural to define \(R\) to be a ring with right comparability if it satisfies \(P\)-comparability with respect to every completely prime ideal \(P\subseteq J(R)\). The paper provides a rather general construction of a right comparable ring \(R\) as a pullback of a right chain ring \(T\) with a maximal ideal \(M\) and a domain \(D\subseteq T/M\) such that \(T/M\) is the skew field of fractions of \(D\). It is shown that this construction fully characterizes prime rings satisfying both right and left comparability (Corollary 3.4) but does not suffice to characterize right comparable rings (Example 3.5). The class of rings with comparability contains properly the class of right distributive rings having at least one completely prime ideal in the Jacobson radical. Theorem 2.1 exemplifies how results known to hold for right distributive rings may be extended to the larger family of rings with comparability. However, the main thrust of the paper is to obtain results which are new even for right distributive rings. Criteria for a ring \(R\) with (right and left) comparability to be right Noetherian are developed; further analysis is done for the case when the ring is prime. It seems appropriate to mention here (as the authors do in the paper) that the concept of comparability considered here is different from that studied by \textit{P. Ara, K. C. O'Meara} and \textit{D. V. Tyukavkin} [in J. Pure Appl. Algebra 107, No. 1, 19-38 (1996; Zbl 0851.16008)].
