Abstract
The Asano-Michler theorem states that a 2-sided order R in a simple Artinian ringO is hereditary provided thatR satisfies the three requirements: (AM1) Noetherian; (AM2) nonzero ideals are invertible; (AM3) bounded. We generalize this in one direction by specializing to a semiperfect bounded orderR, and prove thatR is semihereditary assuming only that finitely generated nonzero ideals are invertible (=R is Prufer). In this case,R ≈ a fulln ×n matrix ringD n over a valuation domainD. More generally, we study a ringR, called right FPF, over which finitely generated faithful right modules generate the category mod-R of all rightR-modules. We completely determine all semiperfect Noetherian FPF rings: they are finite products of semiperfect Dedekind prime rings and Quasi-Frobenius rings. (For semiprime right FPF rings, we do not require the Noetherian or semiperfect hypothesis in order to obtain a decom-position into prime rings: the acc on direct summands suffices. The “theorem” with “semiperfect” delected is an open problem.
