Let Λ be a ring with the following properties: (a) Λ is a direct sum of left ideals P1,..., Pn; (b) every nontrivial homomorphism Pi→Pj is a monomorphism; (c) for every i, j the intersection of any two submodules of Pj isomorphic to Pi contains a submodule isomorphic to Pi. Then Λ can be represented as a subring associated with a net of ideals in a generalized matrix ring. Bibliography: 5 titles.
