Dimension and Torsion Theories for a Class of Baer *-Rings | | Lia Vas

18 Feb 2007 | | Journal: | L. Vas, Dimension and Torsion Theories for a Class of Baer
*-Rings, Journal of Algebra 289 (2005) no. 2, 614 - 639 | | Subject: | Rings and Algebras | | Abstract: | Many known results on finite von Neumann algebras are generalized, by purely algebraic proofs, to a certain class ${mathcal C}$ of finite Baer *-rings. The results in this paper can also be viewed as a study of the properties of Baer *-rings in the class ${mathcal C}$.
First, we show that a finitely generated module over a ring from the class ${mathcal C}$ splits as a direct sum of a finitely generated projective module and a certain torsion module. Then, we define the dimension of any module over a ring from ${mathcal C}$ and prove that this dimension has all the nice properties of the dimension studied in [W. L"{u}ck, Dimension theory of arbitrary modules over finite von Neumann algebras and $L^2$-Betti numbers I: Foundations, J. Reine Angew. Math. 495 (1998) 135--162] for finite von Neumann algebras. This dimension defines a torsion theory that we prove to be equal to the Goldie and Lambek torsion theories. Moreover, every finitely generated module splits in this torsion theory.
If $R$ is a ring in ${mathcal C},$ we can embed it in a canonical way into a regular ring $Q$ also in ${mathcal C}.$ We show that $K_0(R)$ is isomorphic to $K_0(Q)$ by producing an explicit isomorphism and its inverse of monoids Proj$ (P) o$ Proj$ (Q)$ that extends to the isomorphism of $K_0(R)$ and $K_0(Q)$. | | Source: | arXiv, math/0702522 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
