INTRODUCTION
The class of quasi-Frobenius rings (short:
QF rings)
is one of the most interesting classes of non-semisimple rings.
Since R. M. Thrall [53J introduced QF-l, QF-2 and
QF-3 rings as its generalizations, already a quarter of a century has passed.
During these years important
developments have taken place in the theory of these rings such as the appearance of homological dimensions, perfect and semi-perfect rings, Morita duality and maximal quotient rings.
The purpose of these lectures was to
give an up-to-date account of these developments. Though there are many generalizations of QF-3 algebras to arbitrary rings, we shall adopt in the following only Thrall's original definition:
a ring R is said to be
left QF-3 provided there exists a (unique) minimal faithful left R-module RU,
That is, RU is faithful, and is
isomorphic to a direct summand of every faithful left R-module.
Here, it is to be noted that we do not impose
any other restriction on R.
Then, as was proved by
Colby-Rutter [9J, RU is projective and isomorphic to the injective hull of a direct sum of finitely many simple left R-modules.
We can identify RU with a left ideal Re,
= e.
Right QF-3 rings are defined similarly, and rings
IV which are both left QF-3 and right QF-3 will simply be called QF-3 rings. Assume now that R is a QF-3 ring and minimal faithful modules with e 2
and fR
r
e, f2
e
are R Then we
n.
may consider fRf and eRe as rings, and fRe as an fRf-eRebimodule.
The first remarkable fact is that the functors
Homf Rf (- , fRe) and Hom ( - , fRe) define a Morita duality e He between the category of reflexive left fRf-modules and the category of reflexive right eRe-modules, and, moreover, fRffR and Re e Re bot
