Weakly prime one-sided ideals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Abstract
A left ideal P in a ring is weakly prime if L, K ⊇ P and LK ⊆ P for left ideals L and K imply L = P or K = P. A prime left ideal is weakly prime but the converse is false. Characterizations of weakly prime left ideals as well as a number of their properties are obtained. The intersection of all the weakly prime left ideals in a ring is a left ideal which in general is contained in (but not equal to) the prime radical.
