Abstract
The paper was motivated by Kovacs’ paper (1973), Isaacs’ paper (1980) and a recent paper, due to Bresar et al. (2018), concerning Skolem-Noether algebras. Let K be a unital commutative ring, not necessarily a field. Given a unital K-algebra S, where K is contained in the center of S, n ∈ ℕ, the goal of this paper is to study the question: when can a homomorphism ϕ: Mn(K) → Mn(S) be extended to an inner automorphism of Mn(S)? As an application of main results presented in the paper, it is proved that if S is a semilocal algebra with a central separable subalgebra R, then any homomorphism from R into S can be extended to an inner automorphism of S.
