May 18, 2016 at 7:28 comment added chizhek @Fred Rohrer - Yes, that's where I saw it! Thank you.
May 17, 2016 at 19:49 comment added Fred Rohrer Dear chizhek, maybe you saw it in Lam's Lectures on Modules and Rings, where it is introduced on page 37 under the name of "trivial extension".

Improved a wording of a definition.

Added one arXiv-tag
May 17, 2016 at 12:47 comment added Frieder Ladisch This ring $ A\ltimes N$ can also be realized as a subring of a triangular ring, namely $$ \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} a & n \\ & a \end{pmatrix} \colon a \in A, n\in N \right\} .$$

Improved some formulations. Chosen better line breaks (to improve readability).

Two corrections.

Expanded the question, by a proposed definition of a semidirect product for rings instead of groups.
May 17, 2016 at 7:40 comment added chizhek @Fred Rohrer - Thank you, found it. Though this is not where I saw it before. I believe it was somewhere in Tsit Yuen Lam's "A First Course in Noncommutative rings", but for the life of me cannot locate it.

Cut out the second part of the question, to repost it on meta.mathoverflow.net.
May 16, 2016 at 21:26 comment added Fred Rohrer Bourbaki treats this construction in A.II.1 Exercice 7, but does introduce neither name nor notation for it.

May 16, 2016 at 17:47 comment added Yemon Choi This kind of construction has appeared in many papers on Banach algebras, many of which IMO are reinventing the wheel, even if I can't pin down where the wheel came from. For algebras over a field, I think it might be mentioned explicitly in Hochschild's papers from the 1940s, since it is precisely the extension of A by N that corresponds to the zero cocycle in H^2(A,N)
May 16, 2016 at 17:03 comment added chizhek @Anthony Quas - Stupid me: meta.mathoverflow.net gets me there. I am hurrying home right now. Tomorrow I will cut the second part of the question out and repost it on the meta site. Thanks.
May 16, 2016 at 17:00 comment added chizhek @Anthony Quas - I think so. I would rather post it there, it is inappropriate here. But when you are in pain, you don't care for appropriate manners, you just cry out... How do I get there, to meta.mathoverflow.net? Below on this page there is only the link to Meta Stack Exchange.
May 16, 2016 at 16:44 comment added Anthony Quas I'm not sure - is the second part of the question appropriate for meta.mathoverflow.net?
