Suppose R be a prime ring. The following conditions are equivalent ⅰ) RM n (F), the total matrix ring over field F of degree n, where n≥2, F=GF(p m ); ⅱ) R has a finite number of nilpotet elements4=0; ⅲ) R has a finite number of nilpotent elements which have index 2; ⅳ) R has a finite number of idempotent elements≠0, 1. 质环 有限环 全矩阵环 幂零元 幂等元 prime ring finite ring full matrix ring nilpotent element idempotent element 1991-02-01 2021-04-01 2
