Abstract:
Given a commutative ring $R$, let $Q(R)$ denote its maximal ring of quotients and, for any ideal $I$ of $R$, let $\operatorname {End} (I)$ denote the ring of $R$-endomorphisms of $I$. It is known that if $Q(R)$ is a self-injective ring then $\operatorname {End} (I)$ is commutative for each ideal $I$ of $R$. Carl Faith has asked if the converse holds. It does if $R$ is either Noetherian or has no nontrivial nilpotent elements but here we produce an example to show that it does not hold in general.References
