A Remark on Frobenius Extensions and Endomorphism Rings

Abstract

In his paper [1] F. Kasch developed a theory of Frobenius extensions as a generalization of the theory of Frobenius algebras. In it he established a very interesting relationship between the Frobenius property of an extension and that of its endomorphism ring [1, Satz 5], from which he further derived the Frobenius extension property of Galois extensions of simple rings [1, Satz 6]; with these results he kindly responded to what had been vaguely “conjectured” (as he wrote) by one of the writers on the connection between Galois theory and the theory of Frobenius algebras [2].
