Noncommutative localization of a ring: complete construction

I've been looking for the following construction in the literature, but I've only been able to find (very) partial proofs or proofs of special cases. Let $R$ be a non-commutative ring and $S$ a ...

Cohn localization examples

I'm working on my master's thesis, part of which involves an exposition on Cohn localization. (nlab discussion) In Free ideal rings and localization in general rings, Sec 7.4, Cohn gives a ...

Ring properties which can be checked on sufficiently many Ore localizations

Let $R$ be a non-commutative Ore domain, and let $R[S_i^{-1}]$ be a finite set of Ore localizations. The absence of a geometric theory means there is no obvious candidate for when this set of ...

What is the extended centroid of a free algebra?

For a prime ring $R$, you can define its "Martindale ring of quotients" $Q(R)$. See for example: Martindale, Wallace S. III, Prime rings satisfying a generalized polynomial identity, J. ...

When adic completion preserves projectives?

Lets take a ring $R$ and an ideal $\mathfrak p \subset R$, and call them an L-pair (just for brevity) if $\mathfrak p$-adic completion of any projective module is again projective (as R-module); and L-...

Localization of power series and module structure

Let $R=\mathbb{Q}[X,Y]$ be the polynomial ring of two commuting variable. Let $S$ be the multiplicative subset of $R$ generated by homogeneous linear polynomials. Let also $\widehat{R}$ be the ring of ...

Near-ring localizations

Are there any known results on localization for near-rings (i.e., "rings" with non-abelian addition and only one-sided distributive law)? The books on near-rings I checked don't mention this topic at ...

Cohn's localization for rings with enough idempotents

I am in the following situation: I have a non-unitary (associative) ring $R$ with enough idempotents or, if you prefer, a small pre-additive category. Actually, I even know that $R$ is right coherent (...

Localization of the injective hull of a commutative non-Noetherian ring

Let $R$ be a commutative non-Noetherian ring and $m$ a maximal ideal. My question is whether the localization $E(R)_m$ of the injective hull $E(R)$ of $R$ is an injective $R_m$-module. This is true in ...

On "minimal presentation" of local rings essentially of finite type over a field

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$. Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a local ring essentially of finite type over $k$ (https://stacks.math.columbia.edu/tag/07DR). Then, $R$ is the homomorphic image of ...

Rig of fractions, including zero denominators

For some integral domain $R$, one forms the field of fractions $R^*$ by considering (equivalence classes of) formal pairs {$r/s : r \in R, s\in R\backslash 0$} and defining $+$ and $*$ as you'd expect ...

How to compute the quotient and localization of the monoid algebra $kG$ for a field $k$

I am given that $k$ is a field and $G$ is the monoid consisting of all monomials $X^iY^j$, where $j$ is between $0$ and $3i$. I am trying to compute the quotient of the monoid algebra $kG$ by the ...

Localization and containment in commutative ring

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $x, y $ be fixed elements of $R$ such that for each maximal ideal $m$ of $R$ we have $\langle \frac{x}{1_m}\rangle\subseteq\langle \frac{y}{1_m}\rangle$ ...

$R$ is $\mathbb{Z}$ graded ring and $0\neq f \in R_1,$ show that $R_f \cong S[X,X^{-1}]$ [closed]

Suppose $R$ is $\mathbb{Z}$ graded ring and $0\neq f \in R_1.$ Then I want to show that $R_f \cong S[X,X^{-1}],$ where $S=(R_f)_0$ and $X$ transcendental over $S.$ I wanted to use the isomorphism $...

Right localization of $R[x,x^{-1}]$ at monic $f\in R[x]$

Let $R$ be a right Noetherian ring and $S=\{f\in R[x]\;|\;f\text{ monic}\}$. It is a result of Stafford that $S$ is a right denominator set in $R[x]$, so in particular we can localize $R[x]$ at any $f\...

When does an automorphism extend to a localisation (noncommutative rings)

Let $R$ be a (not necessarily commutative) ring. Let $\tau$ be an automorphism of $R$. Consider the localisation of $R$ at a set of multiplicative elements which satisfy the ore condition, say $X$. ...
