 | | November 5, 2004: Warrem McGovern, Bowling Green StateUniversity, Rings of quotients of C(X) ABSTRACT: Q(X) and q(X) denote the maximal and classical rings of quotients of C(X) (resp.) It is known that, since C(X) is a semiprime ring, Q(X) is always von-Neumann regular. |
 | | Inspired by a classic treatment of Ore [1932], a consideration of the arithmetic of such a ring \(R \) on an element-by-element basis (rather than by an ideal-theoretic analysis) leads to a very nice description of the internal structure of the indecomposables. |
 | | The work is not complete: there is a detailed analysis of the structure of the endomorphism rings of the indecomposables underway; and some general questions about the nature of localizations intermediate between the first Weyl algebra and the Weyl division algebra. |
