Non-Commutative Ring Theory Proceedings of a Conference held in Athe

The papers of this volume share as a common goal the structure and classi- fication of noncommutative rings and their modules, and deal with topics of current research including: localization, serial rings, perfect endomorphism rings, quantum groups, Mori

PREFACE

On September 29 and 30 of 1989, Ohio University hosted the Midwest NonCommutative Ring Theory Conference. With the support of the Office of the Provost for Graduate Programs and Research, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science, we were able to bring together speakers from throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. This volume consists primarily of papers presented by our invited speakers. Some authors who were originally invited but could not attend have also contributed to these proceedings. While non­commutative ring theory is a vast subject, we believe that there are strong relations among its branches. The Ohio University conference was organized keeping in mind our intention to emphasize and revitalize the interaction between researchers throughout the ring theoretic spectrum. We were left with a good feeling about the unity of our discipline after the conference; we hope that these proceedings convey the same feeling to the reader. We thank all participants, contributors and referees for their prompt responses which allowed us to stay within a tight schedule bringing this project to its completion. Many thanks are due to Dr. T. Lloyd Chesnut, Associate Provost for Graduate Programs and Research; Dr. F. Donald Eckelmann, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; and Dr. Shi­Iiang Wen and Dr. Klaus Eldridge, Chairmen of the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science, for their k
