Extract
In an earlier paper [3], we introduced a new notion of completely 0-simple semigroup of quotients. The definition is motivated by a connection between Artinian simple rings and completely 0-simple semigroups. Given an Artinian simple ring Q, one obtains a completely 0-simple multiplicative sub-semigroup by taking the union of the subsets eiQej(i, j = l,…, n), where 1 = e1 + … + en and the ei are primitive orthogonal idempotents. If Q is the classical ring of left quotients of R, then is a semigroup of left quotients of in the sense that every element q in can be written as q = a-1b for some elements a, b in with a2 ≠ 0.
