It is a well known result (see [4, p. 108]) that if R is a ring and Q(R) its maximal right quotient ring, then Q(R) is (von Neumann) regular if and only if every large right ideal of R is dense. This condition is equivalent to saying that the singular ideal of R is zero. In this note we show that the condition loses its magic in the theory of semigroups.

Throughout, we assume all rings are associative with identity and all modules are unitary. See [7] for undefined terms and [3] for all homological concepts.Let R be a ring, E(R) the injective envelope of RR, and H =HomR(E(R),E(R)). Then we obtain a bimodule RE(R)H. Let Q = HomH(E(R), E(R)). Q is called the maximal left quotient ring of R. Q has the property that if p, q ∈ Q, p ≠ 0, then there exists r ∈ R such that rp ≠ 0, rq ∈ R, i.e., Q is a ring of left quotients of R.A left ideal I of R is dense if for every x,y ∈ R,x ≠ 0, there exists r ∈ R such that rx ≠ 0, ry ∈ I. An alternate description of Q is Q = {x ∈ E(RR) : (R : x) is a dense left ideal of R{, where (R : x) = {r ∈ R : rx ∈ R}.The left singular ideal of R is Zl(R) = {r ∈ R : lR(r) is an essential left ideal of R}, where lR(r) = {x ∈ R : xr = 0}. If Zl(R) = (0), then Q is a left self-injective von Neumann regular ring [7, § 4.5]. Most of the previous work on maximal left quotient rings has been done in this case.

It is well known (see [5]) that the maximal right quotient ring of a ring R is (von Neumann) regular if and only if R is (right) non-singular (every large right ideal is dense). In [8] it was shown that for a semigroup S, the regularity of Q(S), the maximal right quotient semigroup [7], is independent of the non-singularity of S. Nevertheless, right non-singular semigroups form an important class of semigroups.

Let $S$ be a subsemigroup which contains 0 of a torsion-free abelian (additive) group. Then $S$ is called a grading monoid (or a $g$-monoid). The group $ \{s-s'|s,s'\in S\}$ is called the quotient group of $S$, and is denored by $q(S)$. Let $R$ be a commutative ring. The total quotient ring of $R$ is denoted by $q(R)$. Throught the paper, we assume that a $g$-monoid properly contains $ \{0\}$. A commutative ring is called a ring, and a non-zero-divisor of a ring is called a regular element of the ring. We consider integral elements over the semigroup ring $ R[X;S]$ of $S$ over $R$. Let $S$ be a $g$-monoid with quotient group $G$. If $ n\alpha\in S$ for an element $ \alpha$ of $G$ and a natural number $n$ implies $ \alpha\in S$, then $S$ is called an integrally closed semigroup. We know the following fact: ${\bf Theorem~1}$ ([G2, Corollary 12.11]). Let $D$ be an integral domain and $S$ a $g$-monoid. Then $D[X;S]$ is integrally closed if and only if $D$ is an integrally closed domain and $S$ is an integrally closed semigroup. Let $R$ be a ring. In this paper, we show that conditions for $R[X;S]$ to be integrally closed reduce to conditions for the polynomial ring of an indeterminate over a reduced total quotient ring to be integrally closed (Theorem 15). Clearly the quotient field of an integral domain is a von Neumann regular ring. Assume that $q(R)$ is a von Neumann regular ring. We show that $R[X;S]$ is integrally closed if and only if $R$ is integrally closed and $S$ is integrally closed (Theorem 20). Let $G$ be a $g$-monoid which is a group. If $R$ is a subring of the ring $T$ which is integrally closed in $T$, we show that $R[X;G]$ is integrally closed in $T[X;S]$ (Theorem 13). Finally, let $S$ be sub-$g$-monoid of a totally ordered abelian group. Let $R$ be a subring of the ring $T$ which is integrally closed in $T$. If $g$ and $h$ are elements of $T[X;S]$ with $h$ monic and $gh\in R[X;S]$, we show that $g\in R[X;S]$ (Theorem 24).

Let R ⊆ T be a (unital) extension of (commutative) rings, such that the total quotient ring of R is a von Neumann regular ring and T is torsion-free as an R-module. Let T ⊆ B be a ring extension such that B is a reduced ring that is torsion-free as a T-module. Let R* (respectively, A) be the integral closure of R in T (respectively, in B). Then (R*, T) is a normal pair (i.e. S is integrally closed in T for each ring S such that R* ⊆ S ⊆ T) if and only if (A, AT) is a normal pair. This generalizes results of Prüfer and Heinzer on Prüfer domains to normal pairs of complemented rings.

We show that a left CF ring is left artinian if and only if it is von Neumann regular modulo its left singular ideal. We deduce that a left FGF is Quasi-Frobenius (QF) under this assumption. This clarifies the role played by the Jacobson radical and the singular left ideal in the FGF and CF conjectures. In Sec. 3 of the paper, we study the structure of left artinian left CF rings. We prove that they are left continuous and left CEP rings.

Throughout R will denote an associative ring with identity. Let Zℓ(R) be the left singular ideal of R. It is well known that Zℓ(R) = 0 if and only if the left maximal ring of quotients of R, Q(R), is Von Neumann regular. When Zℓ(R) = 0, q(R) is also a left self injective ring and is, in fact, the injective hull of R. A natural generalization of the notion of injective is the concept of left continuous as studied by Utumi [4]. One of the major obstacles to studying the relationships between Q(R) and R is a description of J(Q(R)), the Jacobson radical of Q(R). When a ring is left continuous, then its left singular ideal is its Jacobson radical. This facilitates the study of the cases when either Q(R) is continuous or R is continuous.

Although the notion of the maximal quotient ring of a nonsingular ring has been around for some time, not much is known about its structure in general beyond the important theorems of Johnson and Utumi [4; 11] that it is von Neumann regular and self-injective. The purpose of this paper is to study the structure of such a regular, self-injective ring R by looking at its prime ideals. Initially, we show that the primes of R separate into two types, called ‘'essential” and ‘“closed”, and that for any prime P, the two-sided ideals in the ring R/P are linearly ordered.

If {Ri}i ∈ I is a family of rings, then it is well-known that Q(Ri) = Q(Q(Ri)) and Q(∏i∈I Ri) = ∏i∈I Q(Ri), where Q(R) denotes the maximal ring of quotients of R. This paper contains an investigation of how these results generalize to the rings of quotients Qα(R) defined by ideals generated by dense subsets of cardinality less than ℵα. The special case of von Neumann regular rings is studied. Furthermore, a generalization of a theorem regarding orthogonal completions is established. Illustrative example are presented.
