RING ENDOMORPHISMS WITH LARGE IMAGES
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2013
Abstract
The notion of ring endomorphisms having large images is introduced. Among others, injectivity and surjectivity of such endomorphisms are studied. It is proved, in particular, that an endomorphism σ of a prime one-sided noetherian ring R is injective whenever the image σ(R) contains an essential left ideal L of R. If, in addition, σ(L)=L, then σ is an automorphism of R. Examples showing that the assumptions imposed on R cannot be weakened to R being a prime left Goldie ring are provided. Two open questions are formulated.
