Extensions of Rings and Modules (Hardcover, 2013 ed.)

The "extensions" of rings and modules have yet to be explored in detailin aresearch monograph. This book presents state of the art research and also stimulating new and further research. Broken into three parts, Part I beginswith basic notions, terminology, definitions and a description of the classes of rings and modules. Part II considers the transference ofconditions between a base ring or module and its extensions. And Part III utilizes the concept of a minimal essental extension with respect to a specific class (a hull).

Mathematical interdisciplinary applications appear throughout. Major applications of the ring and module theory to Functional Analysis, especially "C"*-algebras, appear in Part III, make thisbook ofinterest toAlgebra and Functional Analysis researchers. Notes and exercises at the end of every chapter, and open problems at the end of all three parts, lend this as an ideal textbook forgraduate or advanced undergradate students."
