Quasi-Frobenius quotient rings.
Let R be an associative (not necessarily commutative) ring with unit. The study of flat left R-modules permits to achieve homological characterizations for some kinds of rings (regular Von Neumann, hereditary). Colby investigated in [1] the rings with the property that every left R-module is embedded in a flat left R-module and called them left IF rings. These rings include regular and quasi-Frobenius rings. Another useful tool for the study of non-commutative rings is the classical localization,...
