Extract

From a commutative ring A, Lazard(8) has made a flat injective epimorphism: A → B of commutative rings, such that if A → C is another flat injective epimorphism of commutative rings, then there is one and only one ring morphism: B → C such that the diagram

commutes; and he shows too that B → C is a flat injective epimorphism. The main aim of the present paper is to make a similar object for not necessarily commutative rings: this is achieved thanks to the notion of an A-prering, intermediate between that of an A-bimodule and that of an A-ring. In passing, prerings are also used to construct a kind of non-commutative ring of fractions.
