In my previous paper “On the theory of semi-local rings,” we saw that if a semi-local ring R with maximal ideals p1…,ph is a subdirect sum of local rings Rm,2) then R is the direct sum of R[p1] (proposition 15, (slr)1)) and that a complete semi-local ring is a direct sum of complete local rings (Remark to proposition 5, (slr)).

1) To appear in Proc, Jap. Acad, and will be referred as (slr) in the present note.

2) This notation is same as in (slr); this denotes the topological quotients ring of pi with respect to R: See Chapter I, (slr).

3) A ring means an associative ring.

4) An ideal means a two-sided ideal.

5) Since R2 = R, any maximal ideal is prime (we say an ideal p in a ring R is maximal if R ≠ p and if there exists no ideal a such as R ⊃ a ⊃ p)

6) Set theoretical union.

7) Evidently this number is finite.
