Bass [1] proved that if R is a left perfect ring, then R contains no infinite sets of orthogonal idempotents and every nonzero left R-module has a maximal submodule, and asked if this property characterizes left perfect rings ([1], Remark (ii), p. 470). The fact that this is true for commutative rings was proved by Hamsher [12], and that this is not true in general was demonstrated by examples of Cozzens [7] and Koifman [14]. Hamsher's result for commutative rings has been extended to some noncommutative rings. Call a ring left duo if every left ideal is two-sided; Chandran [5] proved that Bass’ conjecture is true for left duo rings. Call a ring R weakly left duo if for every r ε R, there exists a natural number n(r) (depending on r) such that the principal left ideal Rrn(r) is two-sided. Recently, Xue [21] proved that Bass’ conjecture is still true for weakly left duo rings.
