A Note on a Self Injective Ring

Abstract

A ring R with unity is called right (left) self injective if the right (left) R-module R is injective [7]. The purpose of this note is to prove the following: Let R be a prime ring with a maximal annihilator right (left) ideal. If R is right (left) self injective then R is a primitive ring with a minimal one-sided ideal. If R satisfies the maximum condition on annihilator right (left) ideals and R is right (left) self injective then R is a simple ring with the minimum condition on one-sided ideals.
