Is ZG semilocal for a finite group G?

No. It is module-finite over Z, but (20.6) requires the base to be semilocal and Z is not. Localise or complete first: Z_(p)G and Z_pG are semilocal, which is the technical reason modular representation theory is done one prime at a time.

Semilocal Rings: Definition and Examples

Q: Is there a left version and a right version of semilocal?

No. rad R is left-right symmetric and semisimplicity is left-right symmetric, so R/rad R is left artinian if and only if it is right artinian. The definition may be stated on either side.

Q: How many simple modules does a semilocal ring have?

Finitely many up to isomorphism — exactly r, where R/rad R ≅ _i=1^r M_n_i(D_i). This is the finiteness that survives from the commutative picture; the number of maximal left ideals themselves may be infinite.

Executive Summary

Localisation is the engine of commutative algebra: every prime ideal produces a local ring, and local rings are easy. Noncommutative rings have no comparable localisation machinery, so the class of local rings alone carries too little of the structure theory. Semilocal rings are the replacement. A ring $R$ is semilocal when the radical quotient $R / rad R$ is semisimple — that is, when Wedderburn–Artin theory applies to $R$ after the radical has been divided out.

The class is large: all local rings, all one-sided artinian rings, all finite rings, all finite-dimensional algebras over a field, all matrix rings over semilocal rings, and every algebra that is finitely generated as a module over a commutative semilocal ring. It is also strong: semilocal rings are Dedekind-finite, have left stable range one, and cancel from direct sums.

Overview

In commutative algebra a ring is called semilocal if it has finitely many maximal ideals. That phrasing does not survive contact with noncommutative rings: $M_{n} (k)$ over an infinite field $k$ has infinitely many maximal left ideals but is as well behaved as a ring can be. The correct generalisation replaces counting maximal ideals with a structural condition on the radical quotient.

R semilocal ⟺ R / rad R is semisimple

(20.1)

Equivalently, $R / rad R$ is left artinian: a ring with zero radical is left artinian precisely when it is semisimple.

Two facts make this definition behave. First, the radical of a quotient is controlled: $rad (R / rad R) = 0$ always, so the condition really is about a semiprimitive ring being artinian. Second, semisimplicity is left-right symmetric, so semilocality is too — unlike primitivity, perfectness or global dimension.

The class is not closed under everything one might hope. It is closed under quotients (see Quotients of Semilocal Rings), matrix rings and finite direct products, but not under infinite products, polynomial extensions or subrings.

Definitions

Definition(20.1)Semilocal ring

A ring $R$ with identity is semilocal if the quotient $R / rad R$ is a left artinian ring; equivalently, if $R / rad R$ is semisimple.

The equivalence is immediate from the general fact that $rad (R / rad R) = 0$ together with the characterisation of semisimple rings as the left artinian rings of zero radical.

$rad R$: The Jacobson radical: the intersection of the maximal left ideals of $R$ , a two-sided ideal, also written $J (R)$ .
Semisimple: $R$ is a finite direct product of matrix rings over division rings; equivalently every left $R$ -module is a direct sum of simple modules.
Local ring: $R / rad R$ is a division ring; equivalently the non-units of $R$ form an additive group.
Semiperfect: $R$ is semilocal and idempotents lift modulo $rad R$ .
Semiprimary: $R$ is semilocal and $rad R$ is nilpotent.

All rings have an identity, all modules are unital, and ideal without qualification means two-sided ideal.

Core Concepts

Why the definition is left-right symmetric

$rad R$ is itself side-neutral: the intersection of the maximal left ideals equals the intersection of the maximal right ideals. Semisimplicity is likewise side-neutral. Hence $R$ is semilocal if and only if $R / rad R$ is right artinian, and one never needs to say "left semilocal". This is a rarity in this subject and it is what allows the theory to move freely between left ideals of $R$ and right modules over $R$ in the cancellation theorems.

Counting maximal ideals is the wrong invariant

For a commutative ring the maximal left ideals are the maximal ideals and the two notions agree, by $(20.2)$ . Noncommutatively they diverge sharply: in $M_{2} (k)$ the maximal left ideals are the column annihilators of the lines of $k^{2}$ , so there are $| ℙ^{1} (k) |$ of them — infinitely many when $k$ is infinite — although $M_{2} (k)$ is simple artinian and hence semilocal. What is finite in the semilocal case is not the number of maximal left ideals but the number of isomorphism classes of simple left modules.

R / rad R ≅ \prod_{i = 1}^{r} M_{n_{i}} (D_{i}), D_{i} division rings

(20.1a)

The Wedderburn–Artin form of the radical quotient. The integer $r$ counts the simple left $R$ -modules up to isomorphism.

The two useful consequences

Finiteness

Finitely many simples

A semilocal ring has only finitely many isomorphism classes of simple left modules, namely $r$ , and equally many on the right. This is the finiteness statement that actually generalises the commutative count.

Lifting

Units detected modulo the radical

$u \in U (R)$ if and only if $\bar{u} \in U (R / rad R)$ , because $1 + rad R \subseteq U (R)$ . Every unit-theoretic statement about a semilocal ring can be tested in a semisimple ring.

Key Results

Proposition(20.2)Maximal left ideals and semilocality

For a ring $R$ consider: (1) $R$ is semilocal; (2) $R$ has only finitely many maximal left ideals. Then (2) $\Rightarrow$ (1) in general, and (1) $\Rightarrow$ (2) holds whenever $R / rad R$ is commutative.

Proof

Both implications are unchanged on replacing $R$ by $R / rad R$ — the maximal left ideals correspond bijectively and the radical becomes zero — so assume $rad R = 0$ .

**(2) $\Rightarrow$ (1).** Let $𝔪_{1}, \dots, 𝔪_{n}$ be all the maximal left ideals. Their intersection is $rad R = 0$ , so the natural map

R ⟶ ⨁_{i = 1}^{n} R / 𝔪_{i}

is an injection of left $R$ -modules. The right-hand side is a finite direct sum of simple modules, hence has a composition series; a submodule of a module of finite length has finite length, so $R R$ has finite length. In particular $R$ is left artinian, and with $rad R = 0$ it is semisimple.

**(1) $\Rightarrow$ (2) under commutativity.** If $R$ is commutative, semisimple and artinian with $rad R = 0$ , Wedderburn–Artin gives $R ≅ F_{1} \times \dots \times F_{r}$ with each $F_{i}$ a field. The maximal ideals of a finite product of fields are exactly the $r$ kernels of the projections, so there are precisely $r$ of them.

RemarkThe converse fails noncommutatively

(1) does not imply (2) in general. $R = M_{2} (ℚ)$ is simple artinian, hence semilocal, yet its maximal left ideals ${f : f (v) = 0}$ are indexed by the lines of $ℚ^{2}$ and there are infinitely many. Any finiteness one extracts from semilocality is finiteness up to isomorphism, not on the nose.

Example(20.3)The basic supply

Every local ring is semilocal, since a division ring is semisimple. Every left artinian ring is semilocal, and so is every right artinian ring, because the radical quotient inherits the chain condition and has zero radical. In particular every finite ring and every finite-dimensional algebra over a field is semilocal.

Proposition(20.4)Matrix rings

If $A$ is semilocal then $R = M_{n} (A)$ is semilocal for every $n \geq 1$ .

Proof

The radical of a full matrix ring is computed entrywise: $rad M_{n} (A) = M_{n} (rad A)$ . Hence

R / rad R = M_{n} (A) / M_{n} (rad A) ≅ M_{n} (A / rad A) .

$A / rad A$ is semisimple by hypothesis, and a full matrix ring over a semisimple ring is semisimple. Therefore $R / rad R$ is semisimple and $R$ is semilocal.

Example(20.5)Finite products

A finite direct product of local rings is semilocal: radicals compute componentwise, so the radical quotient is a finite product of division rings. Infinite products fail — see the pitfalls below.

Proposition(20.6)Module-finite algebras

Let $k$ be a commutative semilocal ring and let $R$ be a $k$ -algebra which is finitely generated as a $k$ -module. Then $R$ is semilocal, and with $J = rad k$ ,

rad R \supseteq J R \supseteq (rad R)^{n} for some n \geq 1 .

Proof

That $J R \subseteq rad R$ for a module-finite $k$ -algebra is Lam $(5.9)$ , a Nakayama argument: $J R$ is a two-sided ideal and $R / rad R$ is killed by $J$ because $J$ annihilates every simple $R$ -module, each such module being finitely generated over $k$ .

Now view $R / J R$ as a module over $k / J$ . Since $k$ is commutative semilocal, $k / J$ is semisimple, hence artinian; and $R / J R$ is a finitely generated $k / J$ -module, so it is an artinian $k / J$ -module. Its $R$ -submodules are in particular $k / J$ -submodules, so $R / J R$ satisfies the descending chain condition on left ideals: it is a left artinian ring.

Because $J R \subseteq rad R$ , we have $rad (R / J R) = (rad R) / J R$ , and $R / rad R ≅ (R / J R) / rad (R / J R)$ is semisimple. So $R$ is semilocal. Finally, the radical of a left artinian ring is nilpotent, so $((rad R) / J R)^{n} = 0$ for some $n \geq 1$ , i.e. $(rad R)^{n} \subseteq J R$ .

CorollaryOrders and group rings

Taking $k = ℤ_{(p)}$ or $k = ℤ / m$ or any complete discrete valuation ring, every $k$ -algebra that is finitely generated as a $k$ -module is semilocal. This covers $p$ -adic orders in semisimple algebras and the group rings $k G$ for $G$ finite — the standing hypotheses of modular representation theory.

Proof Techniques and Method

How these proofs work, and which move to reuse.

Three moves cover almost every semilocality proof in the section.

Move 1

Kill the radical first

Every statement about semilocal rings begins "we may assume $rad R = 0$ ", because maximal left ideals, units and simple modules all correspond across $R \to R / rad R$ .

Move 2

Embed in a finite sum of simples

Zero radical plus finitely many maximal left ideals gives an embedding of $R R$ into a finite direct sum of simple modules, and finite length is inherited by submodules.

Move 3

Change the ring of scalars

To prove a chain condition for $R$ , prove it over a smaller commutative ring $k$ that acts on $R$ : $R$ -submodules are $k$ -submodules, so artinian over $k$ forces artinian over $R$ .

Worked Example

A semilocal ring that is neither left nor right noetherian

Let

R = (\begin{matrix} ℚ & ℝ \\ 0 & ℚ \end{matrix}) = {(\begin{matrix} q_{1} & x \\ 0 & q_{2} \end{matrix}) : q_{1}, q_{2} \in ℚ, x \in ℝ}

(20.E)

A triangular ring built from the bimodule $ℚ ℝ_{ℚ}$ .

Step 1 — the radical. The set $𝔑$ of strictly upper triangular matrices is a two-sided ideal with $𝔑^{2} = 0$ , so $𝔑 \subseteq rad R$ (a nilpotent ideal is quasi-regular). The quotient $R / 𝔑 ≅ ℚ \times ℚ$ has zero radical, so $rad R = 𝔑$ exactly, and $(rad R)^{2} = 0$ .

Step 2 — semilocality. $R / rad R ≅ ℚ \times ℚ$ is semisimple, so $R$ is semilocal. It is even semiprimary, since $rad R$ is nilpotent.

Step 3 — no chain conditions. $ℝ$ is infinite-dimensional as a $ℚ$ -vector space. Any $ℚ$ -subspace $V \subseteq ℝ$ gives a left ideal consisting of the matrices with $x \in V$ and zero diagonal, and an infinite strictly increasing chain of such $V$ produces an infinite strictly increasing chain of left ideals. The same construction works on the right. So $R$ is neither left nor right noetherian, and a fortiori neither left nor right artinian.

A second computation: $ℤ / m$

For $m = p_{1}^{e_{1}} \dots p_{r}^{e_{r}}$ we have $ℤ / m ≅ \prod_{i} ℤ / p_{i}^{e_{i}}$ , a finite product of local rings, so $ℤ / m$ is semilocal with exactly $r$ maximal ideals and $rad (ℤ / m) = (p_{1} \dots p_{r}) / (m)$ . For $m = 12$ : two maximal ideals, radical generated by $6$ , and $ℤ / 12 / rad ≅ 𝔽_{2} \times 𝔽_{3}$ .

Comparison and Classification

The named classes around semilocality differ only in what extra is demanded of $rad R$ or of idempotents.

Which conditions hold for which class of rings
	$R / rad R$ semisimple	$rad R$ nilpotent	Idempotents lift	Chain condition on $R$
Semisimple	yes	yes	yes	yes

Semilocal	yes	no	no	no

Which conditions hold for which class of rings

"no" means the property is not implied by the class, not that it always fails. Semiprimary rings do lift idempotents, since a nil ideal always does; the entry records that lifting is not part of the definition.

Applications and Industry Use

Applications here means where this structure is used — inside mathematics and in the engineering and computing disciplines that consume it.

Modular representation theory. For $G$ finite and $k$ a complete discrete valuation ring with residue characteristic $p$ , the group ring $k G$ is module-finite over $k$ , hence semilocal by $(20.6)$ ; block theory is the study of its idempotent decomposition.
Integral representation theory and orders. A $ℤ_{(p)}$ -order in a semisimple $ℚ$ -algebra is semilocal, which is why local-global methods for lattices work one prime at a time.
Algebraic K-theory. Semilocal rings have stable range one, so $K_{1} (R) ≅ U (R)^{ab}$ and $K_{0}$ is free on the indecomposable projectives; this is the base case from which Bass built the stability theorems.
Computer algebra. Finite-dimensional algebras presented by structure constants are automatically semilocal, so the Wedderburn decomposition of $A / rad A$ is always available — the hypothesis under which MeatAxe and the standard radical algorithms operate.
Coding theory. Codes over finite chain rings such as $ℤ / p^{e}$ and Galois rings live over local, hence semilocal, ground rings; lifting idempotents modulo the radical is what produces cyclic code generators.

Design Considerations

Design considerations here means the choices made when modelling a problem with these algebraic structures.

Choose the ground ring so that it is semilocal. Working over $ℤ$ loses semilocality; localising at one prime or completing recovers it, and $(20.6)$ then transfers it to every module-finite algebra above.
Do not strengthen to artinian by reflex. Many arguments need only a semisimple radical quotient. Assuming artinian excludes examples such as the triangular ring above and complete local rings of infinite length.
Decide early whether idempotent lifting is needed. If it is, the class you want is semiperfect, not semilocal; semilocality alone gives no idempotents.
Keep the radical quotient as the primary object. Statements about $R$ should be phrased so they can be tested in $R / rad R$ and lifted, which is exactly where semilocality does its work.

Standards and Notation

Standards here covers notation, symbol and markup standards, and reference implementations, rather than material or design codes.

Terminology warning: in commutative algebra semilocal usually means "finitely many maximal ideals" and some authors additionally require noetherian. In noncommutative ring theory the definition is $(20.1)$ , and the two agree for commutative rings by $(20.2)$ but not otherwise.

Reference implementations: GAP's RadicalOfAlgebra and WedderburnDecomposition, Magma's JacobsonRadical, and Sage's Algebras category all assume a finite-dimensional algebra over a field — which is semilocal automatically — and none of them accepts semilocality as an input hypothesis, because there is no finite presentation of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why not simply define semilocal as "finitely many maximal left ideals"?

Because the resulting class would be too small and would not contain the simple artinian rings. $M_{2} (ℚ)$ has infinitely many maximal left ideals. By $(20.2)$ the counting definition implies $(20.1)$ , so it is strictly stronger, and it agrees with $(20.1)$ only when $R / rad R$ is commutative.

Is there a left version and a right version of semilocal?

No. $rad R$ is left-right symmetric and semisimplicity is left-right symmetric, so $R / rad R$ is left artinian if and only if it is right artinian. The definition may be stated on either side.

Does semilocal say anything about

rad R

itself?

Almost nothing. It constrains only the quotient. The radical may be zero (semisimple rings), nilpotent (semiprimary rings), or neither nil nor nilpotent — as in $k [[x]]$ , where $rad = (x)$ contains no nonzero nilpotent element. Extra hypotheses on $rad R$ are what produce the semiprimary and perfect classes.

ℤ G

semilocal for a finite group

G

No. It is module-finite over $ℤ$ , but $(20.6)$ requires the base to be semilocal and $ℤ$ is not. Localise or complete first: $ℤ_{(p)} G$ and $ℤ_{p} G$ are semilocal, which is the technical reason modular representation theory is done one prime at a time.

How many simple modules does a semilocal ring have?

Finitely many up to isomorphism — exactly $r$ , where $R / rad R ≅ \prod_{i = 1}^{r} M_{n_{i}} (D_{i})$ . This is the finiteness that survives from the commutative picture; the number of maximal left ideals themselves may be infinite.

Is the centre of a semilocal ring semilocal?

Not in general; this is raised as an exercise in §20 rather than as a theorem, and the analogous question for local rings is also delicate. Semilocality is not inherited by subrings, and the centre is a subring.
