  Endomorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, an endomorphism is a morphism (or homomorphism) from a mathematical object to itself.
In many but not all situations it is possible to add endomorphisms, and the endomorphisms of a given object then form a ring, called the endomorphism ring of the object.
An endomorphism that is also an isomorphism is termed an automorphism.

 Endomorphism ring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In abstract algebra, one associates to certain objects a ring, the object's endomorphism ring, which encodes several internal properties of the object.
As the name suggests, the elements of the endomorphism ring of A are the endomorphisms of A, i.e.

 Rings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The theory of commutative rings resembles the theory of numbers in several respects, and various definitions for commutative rings are designed to recover properties known from the integers.
A module over a ring is an abelian group that the ring acts on as a ring of endomorphisms, very much akin to the way fields (integral domains in which every non-zero element is invertible) act on vector spaces.
Examples of non-commutative rings are given by rings of square matrices or more generally by rings of endomorphisms of abelian groups or modules, and by monoid rings.

Division rings are very similar to fields except that their multiplication is not required to be commutative.
In general, if R is a ring and S is a simple module over R, then the endomorphism ring of S is a division ring; every division ring arises in this fashion from some simple module.

 Local ring
In abstract algebra, local rings are certain rings that are comparatively simple and serve to describe the local behavior of functions defined on varieties or manifolds.
The exact same arguments work for the ring of germs of continuous real-valued functions on any topological space at a given point, or the ring of germs of differentiable functions on any differentiable manifold at a given point, or the ring of germs of rational functions on any algebraic variety at a given point.
The Jacobson radical m of a local ring R (which is equal to the unique left maximal ideal and also to the unique right maximal ideal) consists precisely of the non-units of the ring; furthermore it is the unique two-sided maximal ideal of R.

Similarly, the requirement for the ring multiplication to be associative is sometimes dropped, and rings in which the associative law holds are called associative rings.
For any ring R and any natural number n, the set of all square n-by-n matrices with entries from R, forms a ring with matrix addition and matrix multiplication as operations.
Given a ring R and an ideal I of R, the factor ring R/I is the set of cosets of I together with the operations (a+I)+(b+I)=(a+b)+I and (a+I)(b+I)=ab+I.

 Simple module - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In abstract algebra, a (left or right) module S over a ring R is called simple if it is not the zero module and if its only submodules are 0 and S.
Understanding the simple modules over a ring is usually helpful because they form the "building blocks" of all other modules in a certain sense.
The converse of Schur's lemma is not true in general: there are non-simple modules whose endomorphism ring is a division ring.

Instead of writing endomorphisms as functions, it is often convenient to write them multiplicatively: we simply write the application of the endomorphism
There is a complication, however, if we still think of endomorphism as functions written on the left.

If R is a unital ring, then the left multiplications by elements of R obviously form endomorphisms of the additive group of R. In fact they form a group direct summand of the endomorphism ring and if the complement is trivial, then these rings are called E-rings which are well-studied.
Finally, we show that in ZFC there exists an almost-free ring R of minimal uncountable cardinality such that the endomorphism ring of R is isomorphic to the direct sum of the integers and R itself.

Interpreting a Morita context as a ring with distinguished idempotent, the key ingredient for such a comparison is shown to be the grade of the Morita defect, the quotient of the ring modulo the ideal generated by the idempotent.
Abstract: This is a survey on the relation between homological properties of the Frobenius endomorphism and finiteness of various homological dimensions of the ring or of modules over it, such as global dimension and projective dimension.
We begin with Kunz's surprising result in 1969 that the regularity of a Noetherian local ring is equivalent to the flatness of its Frobenius endomorphism, as well as the subsequent generalizations to the module setting by Peskine and Szpiro and continue up through the recent flurry of results in the last five years.

P, for any ideals A, B of R. A proper ideal I of the ring R is called a semiprime ideal if it is an intersection of prime ideals of R. A proper ideal P of the ring R is called a left primitive ideal if it is the annihilator of a simple left R-module.
The ring R is called a simple ring if (0) is a maximal ideal; it is called a prime ring if (0) is a prime ideal, and a semiprime ring if (0) is a semiprime ideal.
If P is a primitive ideal of the ring R, then there exists a division ring D and a vector space V over D for which R/P is isomorphic to a subring of the ring of all linear transformations from V into V. Proposition.

Recall that in this context, $\sigma$ is a ring endomorphism of $R$, $\delta$ is a $\sigma$-derivation of $R$ (i.e.\ a map $\delta: R\la R$ satisfying $\delta(a+b)=\delta(a)+\delta(b)$ and $\delta(ab)=\sigma(a)\delta(b)+\delta(a)b$ for all $a,b\in R$), and multiplication of polynomials in $R[x;\sigma,\delta]$ (written with left-hand coefficients) is determined by the rule $xr = \sigma(r)x+\delta(r)$ for every $r\in R$.
Part of the attraction of 2-primal rings (in addition to their being a common generalization of commutative rings and rings without nilpotent elements) lies in the structure of their prime ideals.
