Abstract
Our goal is to develop methods that enable one to select a class K of rings and then to describe all right essential overrings or all right rings of quotients of a given ring R which lie in K . Our major method of attack is to determine the existence and/or uniqueness of right ring hulls of R in K and to use these to characterize the right essential overrings of R which are in K . Some applications are: (1) a characterization of the right rings of quotients of the 2-by-2 upper triangular matrix ring over a PID which are either Baer or right extending; (2) a characterization of a continuous ring hull for a commutative ring whose singular ideal has finite uniform dimension; (3) a characterization of the right extending rings which have the 2-by-2 matrix ring over a given division ring for their maximal right ring of quotients; (4) a characterization of the intermediate right extending rings between the 2-by-2 upper triangular matrix ring and the 2-by-2 matrix ring over a large class of local right finitely Σ -extending rings; (5) a characterization of the classical right ring of quotients as a ring hull from a certain class of rings.
