Extract

Based on ideas from semigroup theory, Fountain and Gould [2, 3, 4] introduced a notion of order in a ring which need not have an identity. In some important cases of rings with identity, e.g. if the larger ring is a semisimple artinian ring, this notion coincides with the classical one. The most important result of Fountain and Gould (see [4]) is a Goldie-like characterization of two-sided orders in a regular ring with minimum condition on principal one-sided ideals. In addition, for the same class of rings, a generalization of the Faith–Utumi theorem has been proved by Gould and Petrich[7]. The methods of these papers seem not to work for one-sided orders.
