Introduction

The notion of the trivial or split extension of a ring by a bimodule has played an important role in various parts of algebra. In most cases, however, it is introduced ab initio and then used with a particular purpose in mind. With no intention of being comprehensive, we mention some important applications of this construction. But first we must describe the construction. Suppose R is a ring (with identity) and M is an R-bimodule. The set R x M, with componentwise addition and multiplication given, elementwise, by (r,m)(r',m') = (rr',mr' + rm'), becomes a ring, which we denote by R ~ M. It has an ideal (0 x M) which has square zero. And there is a ring homomorphism R --> R ~ M and an augmentation rr:R ~ M --> R. Hochshild, in studying the cohomology of R with coefficients in M, notices that R ~ M is the extension of R by M corresponding to the zero element in the 2nd coho
