Abstract

In this paper we characterize Fountain-Gould left orders in abelian regular rings. Our first approach is via the multiplicative semigroups of the rings. We then represent certain rings by sheaves. Such representations lead us to a characterization of left orders in abelian regular rings such that all the idempotents of the quotient ring lie in the left order.
