Rings Modules And Radicals

Radical Theory of Rings distills the most noteworthy present-day theoretical topics, gives a unified account of the classical structure theorems for rings, and deepens understanding of key aspects of ring theory via ring and radical constructions. Assimilating radical theory's evolution in the decades since the last major work on rings and radicals was published, the authors deal with some distinctive features of the radical theory of nonassociative rings, associative rings with involution, and near-rings. Written in clear algebraic terms by globally acknowledged authorities, the presentation includes more than 500 landmark and up-to-date references providing direction for further research.

First published in 1996. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of ring and module theory A short introduction to torsion-free Abelian groups is included

This book on modern module and non-commutative ring theory is ideal for beginning graduate students. It starts at the foundations of the subject and progresses rapidly through the basic concepts to help the reader reach current research frontiers. Students will have the chance to develop proofs, solve problems, and to find interesting questions. The first half of the book is concerned with free, projective, and injective modules, tensor algebras, simple modules and primitive rings, the Jacobson radical, and subdirect products. Later in the book, more advanced topics, such as hereditary rings, categories and functors, flat modules, and purity are introduced. These later chapters will also prove a useful reference for researchers in non-commutative ring theory. Enough background material (including detailed proofs) is supplied to give the student a firm grounding in the subject.

This book aims to provide comprehensive coverage of the structure of the Jacobson radical of classical rings. Special attention is drawn to the discoveries concerning the Jacobson radical of graded rings. The main objective has been to present an accessible, self-contained and detailed coverage of the present state of the subject, so that the reader can find in one place all that is needed for a thorough understanding of the main results, along with concrete information on how the ideas are applied.
