TRIANGULAR MATRIX REPRESENTATIONS OF SEMIPRIMARY RINGS

In this paper we characterize internally a TSA ring (i.e. a generalized triangular matrix ring with simple Artinian rings on the diagonal) in terms of its prime ideals. Also we show that the class of semiprimary quasi-Baer rings is a proper subclass of the class of TSA rings. Moreover, we generalize results of Harada, Small, and Teply on semiprimary rings. Finally we prove that under certain cardinality conditions a semiprimary quasi-Baer ring becomes semisimple Artinian.
