On modules in which idempotent reducts form a chain
Right ue-rings (rings with the property of the title, i.e., with the maximality of the right socle) are investigated. It is shown that a semiprime ring R is a right ue-ring if and only if R is a regular V-ring with the socle being a maximal right ideal, and if and only if the intrinsic topology of R is non-discrete Hausdorff and dense proper right ideals are semisimple. It is proved that if R is a right self-injective right ue-ring (local right ue-ring), then R is never semiprime and is Artin semisimple...
Let be a commutative ring and a given multiplicative set. Let be a strictly ordered monoid satisfying the condition that for every . Then it is shown, under some additional conditions, that the generalized power series ring is -Noetherian if and only if is -Noetherian and is finitely generated.
