In [6], Pierce studied the modules over a commutative regular ring R by using the representation of R as the global sections of a sheaf which we call the Pierce sheaf. When the stalks of the Pierce sheaf are regular, Magid gave a Galois theory and some properties for a central separable R-algebra [4, (2.4), (2.5), (2.6) and (2.7)]. When the stalks of the Pierce sheaf are semi-local, DeMeyer presented a Galois theory for a central separable R-algebra [3, sections 2 and 3] and the author characterized the finitely generated and projective modules over a central separable R-algebra in terms of the R-modules in [7] and [8].
