Jan 22, 2017 at 16:57 comment added Ehud Meir Take then $R=\mathbb{Z}/4$. The quotient by the socle is $\mathbb{Z}/2$.
Jan 22, 2017 at 16:56 comment added karparvar Yes, I do. But, the ring $R=\mathbb Z/2$ is a field, so both $R/Soc(R)$ and the full matrix of it are $0$, which "are" Boolean rings!
Jan 22, 2017 at 16:49 comment added Ehud Meir by Boolean you mean that all elements are idempotents? because in this case the answer is no, take for example the ring $\mathbb{Z}/2$.
Jan 22, 2017 at 16:48 comment added karparvar Meier: By Morita equivalence, how is it deduced that the ring $M_n(R/Soc(R_R))$ is Boolean if the ring $R/Soc(R_R)$ is Boolean, or I am wrong...?

Jan 22, 2017 at 15:30 comment added Ehud Meir Well, for any $R$-submodule $A\subseteq R$ you have an isomorphism of $M_n(R)$ modules: $M_n(R/A)\cong M_n(R)/M_n(A)$ given in the obvious way.
Jan 22, 2017 at 15:09 comment added karparvar Thanks for the answer! Now, how do we conclude the isomorphism $M_n(R/Soc(R_R))\simeq M_n(R)/M_n(Soc(R_R))$?
