Abstract

A left QF-3 ring R is one in which RR, the ring considered as a left module over itself, can be embedded in a projective infective left R module Q(RR). QF-3 rings were introduced by Thrall [14] and have been studied and characterized by a number of authors [5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15] usually restricted to the case of algebras over a field. In such a case, the concept of left QF-3 and right QF-3 coincide.The study of QF-3 rings and algebras and many other such classes of rings had its origin in the now classic papers of Nakayama [10, 11]. He was an outstanding pioneer in algebra for many years, and we acknowledge our great debt to him and to his many excellent papers.
