The following theorems in ring theory are well-known:

1. Let R be a ring. If e is a unique left identity, then e is also a right identity.

2. If R is a ring with more than one element such that aR = R for every nonzero element a ε R, then R is a division ring.

3. A ring R with identity e ≠ 0 is a division ring if and only if it has no proper right ideals.
