Abstract:

This paper studies maximal quotient rings of semiprime P. I.-rings; such rings are regular, self-injective and satisfy a polynomial identity. We show that the center of a regular self-injective ring is regular self-injective; this enables us to establish that the center of the maximal quotient ring of a semiprime P. I.-ring R is the maximal quotient ring of the center of R, as well as some other relationships. We give two decompositions of a regular self-injective ring with a polynomial identity which enable us to show that such rings are biregular and are finitely generated projective modules over their center.
